LOVE Lives On Forever
523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died.

WTF is it with FOMO?
You know when you’ve been telling your partner something for...forever. And then suddenly they hear it from someone else, and it just CLICKS! Sure, you have to check your ego. But, once you do, you feel SO FREAKING EXCITED to be on the same page. Well, that is what yesterday’s Mind-Body Movement Masterclass was like for me!

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain
Oh it hurts so good - you know the feeling - when you’re totally crushing it in the gym. You push that extra mile. You do that ONE, LAST rep. You do 10X more sit ups because you’re just in the freaking zone. That is what we call good pain. Good pain comes from growth. It comes from that depth of soul, of your personal power, when you lean courageously in to go that extra mile. And it doesn’t just show up in the gym. I see it all the time in my client’s businesses.

What’s Your Life’s Legacy?
Death gives us a very clear reflection of our own mortality. In the past month since my dad’s passing, I’ve seen the beautiful gift that death is. For without death, what is life? It is the end that allows us to assess the means of living. If our human brains could comprehend eternity, we’d have no fear of the beyond or if the infinite or of that word...forever. Losing my dad has allowed me an exploration of my own life and the standards by which I live. Discover your standards and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Why Your Old Self Must Die for You to Live into Your Full Potential
I have been so grateful for all the comments, and it’s no wonder that this past week - heck, this past month, while both my parents got COVID, and then with my dad in the hospital, that I have had a lot of time to look at death from all angles.And you know what I saw...many.You die a thousand times if you live into your full potential.Every next level requires a next-level version of you, meaning some part of your, some old identity, MUST die in order to live fully in the life of your dreams.When I look back on the self-destructive, bulimic, 19-year old me, I don’t recognize myself in her anymore. I just see a sad, broken girl, searching for control and ultimately wholeness and love in all the wrong places.That version of me died.Discover the next-level version of you. and tap into your reign.

Receive love ❤️
I haven’t had words and literally lost my voice these past couple of days. When I went to get a massage to at least help my body out (you can do that here in Australia 🇦🇺), my massage therapist left this note.As the receptionist who lives in my building guided me out, she said, “I love you.”And every time, I just let it sink in through my tears.Because I don’t know if my dad ever really did.He could say it, and he could give it. Many times it was from a cup with only a few drops of love left for himself.And he gave so much of his love. He genuinely loooooved people.Discover love and tap into your reign.

The Strength of Stepping into the Unknown
Hold it together. Stay strong.These are many words that have been uttered to me this past week, as my dad slipped from this life on Wednesday, after weeks of being in the hospital.Of course, as always, they were uttered with the best intentions.Honestly, though, I don’t feel very strong.I feel very raw and real and ripped open, and if that’s strength then rock on, I’m a freaking badass.It got me wondering, why as a society do we praise and pride ourselves on strength?And more, what fear is there in being vulnerable, raw, real, and stripped of all pretense?Just because I don’t feel strong NOW doesn’t mean I’m not strong, or won’t ever be strong. In fact, quite the opposite.As a human being, you are not bound to the emotion of strength.Discover your strength and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

What I’m prioritizing this year.
I used to be HUGE on New Year Resolutions - like the biggest. Since I was 12, there are diary entries with lists, loads of lists...soooooo many lists...of all the things I would be, do, and have in the following 12 months. Problem is, many of the things were always what I thought I “should” do to be enough. You will never do enough to be enough if you don’t believe you’re enough as you are, right now. After recovering from bulimia (and ultimately perfectionism), I stopped the incessant and inefficient list making for a more suitable process - intuition. I started trusting myself.

Health in 2021
I’ve been talking with my clients A LOT about values. How values impact your emotions, productivity, who you hire, what you spend your time doing. Just today in our Mindful Monarchs group coaching call, I worked with one of our Mindful Monarchs through an emotional struggle that she was having. Why was she feeling frustrated, sad and #allthefeels? Because her VALUES were being challenged by her team. Your values are part of your subconscious programming. They are one of the internal filters you use to process information and experiences through to then create a meaning in your subconscious mind. Discover your values and tap into your reign.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE NEW YEAR
Yeah, I know I normally write some fancy pants thing that sparks inspiration, wonder, merriment or challenges the soul, but today, tonight especially, I decided to bring some levity and light as we enter into 2021. 2020 has been a year of growth and expansion for all of us. This week alone has been a final stretch of growth for me personally in all ways. If nothing else, 2020 has taught me to ENJOY your work, your life, your family, your friends, and not take everything so freaking seriously. Because, in the end, it is the moments of both joy and courage that we seized and the moments of joy and courage that we missed that we remember the most.

A Resource for Your Reign
I wish I could say this week has been what it normally is - one focused on vision, creation, expansion, and preparation for the next evolution in a new year. I guess you could say that it has, in it’s own way, an emotional unfolding of values, release, cutting energetic cords, and practicing the utmost presence. My dad was hospitalized the day after Christmas with COVID, put into a medically induced coma, on a ventilator, and due to COVID restrictions, my mom isn’t even allowed by his side. We didn’t know if he was going to live or die, though day by day, it’s looking incrementally better. Discover your emotions and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
