I have waited for this day, with bated breath for a month!!!! It felt the same as I waited those extra weeks for Colton to come, nearly three weeks past his due date. Pregnant with purpose. Pulsating with potential. It’s been a process of trusting, releasing, breathing deep, and knowing it would happen. Knowing that the possibility was in me, I’d birthed it and it was going to come.

A lot of times when people call us names or say things like you’re “too much” or “too bold” or are selfish for wanting more, or you’re stupid for being into whatever it is that lights you up...I want you to know this from the bottom of my heart... It’s not you. It’s them. While I’m not one for passing the buck or shifting the blame onto others, perception is projection. It’s mirror neurons, baby! Discover your light and tap into your reign.

I’ve always known this was going to happen - having a TEDx talk. Sure it was on my vision board, but that’s not what actually moves mountains. The thing is... I had already DECIDED it. Most people don’t decide. They live in the land of mediocre vacillation of “wanting” or “would like” or “trying” or “it’d be nice if…” Of course it’d be nice to have a million dollars, right? Decide now and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
If you had told me 15 years ago, back when I was struggling with bulimia that I'd take a picture like this at the heaviest weight I've ever been (not that weight matters, obvi, I know I'm pregnant) and told me that I would actually FEEL BEAUTIFUL, I would have thought you were nuts. Yet, here I am. Sparkly, full of baby, and so grateful for this life. Discover your purpose and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
I remember when Spike showed me this classic Bob Newhart sketch - he’s one of my fave comedians. Watch it in the link if you want to enjoy it without the spoiler. 😉 In the bit, Bob is a psychologist and this patient comes in with this fear of being buried alive in the box. He lets her know that’s the session. She is amazed, excited and eager to get started. I mean, talk about the MAGIC PILL right? A solution in 5 minutes, sounds too good to be true, RIGHT?

CONFESSION: I like big butts and I cannot lie. Well, I more so like the Sir Mix-a-Lot song. The REAL truth is, it’s my freaking go-to karaoke song. Yes, I know every word. And I bust it out like you would not imagine. Truly, a spectacle to behold. You’re welcome if you are blessed to see it. Recently it’s been in my head. Not because I’ve been going out hitting the karaoke bars - hellloooo, pregnant. But, because Declan’s been sticking his butt in the air, saying “Mama, look at my butt” as he shakes it for all to behold...I have no idea where he learned this. I mean this kid has NO inhibitions.

Have you ever had a labor of love that was so deeply personal, you just felt you had to get it right - not for you - for the other person? That’s how I’ve been with this upcoming Youtube video and re-release of our Crown Yourself channel, or as I like to call it… QUEEN TV...or the SOVEREIGN STATION. Both work - haha. And this labor of love has been TERRIFYING for me. I’ve literally broken out in hives, lost my voice, and pushed through BECAUSE it means so much. Relive your labor of love and tap into your reign.

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.
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.

It was two weeks ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table of our AirBnB, pulling document after document of proof of my income to show to the rental company for our new place. I even needed a letter from my accountant stating the growth of my company. FYI, Australia doesn’t mess around when it comes to proving you can pay your bills. As I was reviewing my numbers, it was then that it hit me… “Holy shit...I did it!” I leapt up from my chair and ran into Spike. “I did it!” We doubled our income this year. We doubled our profit this year. Discover your growth and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
Expectations can be hard to manage, especially when you’re a high achiever.We tend to set the bar pretty darn high for how life/business/our bodies “should be.In the past, I’ve had this expectancy of what I “should” be making or “should” be doing around the holidays.So many shoulds.You should have turkey on Thanksgiving.You should sell on Black Friday.You should be making more money.There is a difference between living with expectations - having a belief that certain dreams and desires that you have will come true.And operating with expectancy - being in the STATE of anticipation.Manifest your dreams to reality and tap into your reign.

“You are so fearless. I just so admire what you did - I mean, just choosing to stay in Australia! That’s so brave. I see myself doing that.” I didn’t know what to say. I was wrapping up a session with one of my private clients and this was what she said. It was then that it hit me. People are watching. Discover how your life is a testimony for what’s possible and how you can live it as an example to serve others.
Feeling the feels of scarcity these past few weeks? I have. We’ve been going for a BIG goal, like a massive leap goal and in the thick of it, I feel like...I...just...keep...miss-ing. The. be-at. It feels like frustration, anger, impatience, annoyance. And I’ve realized that I need to give myself permission to just freaking be in it. Like REALLY in it. Still working. But also fully surrendering.
Even I have days where I want to quit, where I wonder what's the f*ing point in all this work. Where I literally question EVERYTHING and want to choose the easy road, where the questions tickle my mind… Maybe I could be normal? Maybe I could just settle for another job, something that I didn't really care about and allow my art and creativity and absolutely love for what I do go to the back burner or go onto simmer? Maybe I could tone it down and not have such big dreams? Maybe I could TRY, desperately, to quiet the voice inside of me that pushes me on to do MORE, have MORE, be MORE? Because with passion for potential comes PAIN when people don’t recognize that their DREAM IS POSSIBLE.
