Did it bother you that I spelled “werk” wrong? I mean, I’m probably the WORST at grammar and correct spelling, but intentionally spelling a word wrong to be cool like Rhianna is both liberating and at the same time, I want to go back and fix the glaring spelling mistake...like, right now. Anyhow… It’s funny when you start to become hyper self-aware of your sh-tuff. As Dr. Gabor Mate says in his book, When the Body Says No - our book of the month for our Mindful Monarchs Members - “There is no true responsibility without awareness...People are deprived of the opportunity to become truly responsible...The more we can learn about ourselves, the less prone we are to become passive victims.” Discover your ROOT and tap into your reign.

The SECRET to making a business (and a Baby!)
How uncomfortable did that subject line make you feel? Because here’s the thing about creative energy - it can get you feeling uncomfortable. Vulnerable. Open. Raw. And, GASP! Clutch your pearls grandma... AUTHENTICALLY ALIGNED AND ALIVE! That’s what sexual energy is. Napoleon Hill called it “sexual transmutation” in his book, Think and Grow Rich. And there is so much shame, societally, that we are taught to have around this sexual energy. Because how often have you had an idea for a book or a movie or a business or a new strategy and you shared it with people and they thought… It was no good. Or it was too weird.

When Love and Leadership Make a Business Baby
Ever wonder why so many people fall out of love with their business? Or their job? Or their career? I mean, you studied for it. You trained for it. You probably achieved so much in it already.

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

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.
