Transformational Coaching
In this video I break down how your past affects you now AND in the future if you don’t know how to handle it.
Remember, if you want to do new things, be a better person, or simply uplevel your life you must, think and feel new thoughts and emotions. What got you here, simply won’t get you there.
Think outside the box my friends!

Ever feel those days when you just have the urge to ask every friend, mentor, STRANGER, astrologer, psychic, or heck… maybe you want to fly to India and find a guru to tell you the answer you need to hear in order to make a move in your life?
If you’re one of the 100% of people out there that has EVER had this urge…. then you need to watch this video.
Not only will you get the answer you were so desperately trying to find… you will find the RIGHT answer that only you could ever truly know.
Try it and let me know what you think.

If your success were inevitable how would you act, think, feel, BELIEVE differently about your journey?
In this video I go even further and talk about a concept, the “same 10 miles” to get to your final destination.
Whatever you’re going through, just remember… the way you go about your journey will make or break your experience.
You got this.

When we’re in the muck… you know, the parts of our lives where we want to ignore, numb, or just wish time would speed up so we can get to the happy bits, is a place I’ve learned to honor and cherish (cherish seems to be a theme this week!).
You see, I call this part of our lives Contrast.
Why have I come to love Contrast so much? Oh, let me explain the ways… 🙂
Contrast is when we feel something other than at our center, our true, deepest self. When we feel any form of emotion that is other than Love, say, fear, anxiety, anger, depression, etc., this is an opportunity for Transformation.
I’m not saying we just skip all the work and tell ourselves, “I’m now in a place of Love and everything is ok!, no, far from it. But, when we can become aware of the Contrast and truly thank it, we can now do the work to understand where transformation is needed.
It’s much harder to ignore, push away, numb, or be in denial of what we are truly feeling deep down in our state of Contrast. Wait harder? YES. No one tells us that the fastest and easiest way to rise above Contrast is to go through it!
When we come to terms and are willing to do the work, we are entering into a state of deep transformation. We are saying Yes to the deeper part of ourselves that wants to be seen and loved.
Can you name a time when a situation or emotion presented itself over and over again, yet you just pushed it away hoping it wouldn’t come back?
I wish someone had told me in my teens and 20s; unfrotunately, the situation and/or emotion always came back, and now, I thank the Contrast for allowing myself to open up to deep and radical transformation so that I can do the work now.
And on that note, how much better does that feel energetically?! Rather than pushing it away, doesn’t stepping into it provide a much higher vibrational state? A curiosity even?
While there is the nuances of timing, readiness, and willingness that may need consideration, the next time you find yourself in Contrast try looking at it with curiosity… you never know what deep truth is waiting for you.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
Gives you the shivers doesn’t it?
So I ask again, who are you not to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? What are the limiting beliefs (and therefore illusory truths) that are holding you back?
Take a moment and take inventory of each decision during the course of a day. Imagine these decisions as branches of a tree; where are these branches stemming from? What is the basis (beliefs) of these decisions and how deep do those roots go?
Remember, change can happen but it takes work. Knowing how to catch the beliefs is half the battle and everyone, yes everyone, is capable of creating this change.
In the meantime I implore you to ask yourself two questions today:
In wellness,

“The lesson may seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and is but a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself.”
~A Course In Miracles
Often times action becomes patterned. What you chose to eat for breakfast, how you react to a certain friend or boss, how you treat yourself and your relationship to money, and really, how you treat yourself and all of your relationships.
At first, it stems from an initial set of decision points until it becomes a behavior. Can you take a moment and look at where in your life this may be true? Remember, no judgement, just awareness.
The most important question to ask yourself is – “Why?”.
When you look at your Why’s behind all of these actions and behaviors, you will see the truth of whether or not you play in the field of Littleness or Greatness.
I am here to remind you today how GREAT you truly are. How playing small doesn’t serve anyone and certainly not you. How playing GREAT is your natural tendency and birthright. How playing GREAT helps elevate the world and everyone who is here.
So pause for a moment today and watch your Why’s and notice where each decision stems from. Remember to play in Greatness.
Namaste.
What is it that you aren’t looking at? What are you pushing down, away from your immediate view? What are you avoiding?
I remember a time not too long ago, when at the close of 2014, I had immensely ambitious goals of what I would like to conquer in the next year. At the time it was all about health and fitness. How I could really take my strength, speed, and admittedly vanity to the next level.
Then BAM. Not a few days into January a mundane event caused a sudden panic attack and my world went spiraling.
We are nothing but patterns
Kind of enlightening and empowering at the same time isn’t it?
When I first heard this yesterday it struck a chord within me. You see, I’ve been delving into the work and research behind the sub/conscious mind and everything is about patterns. If you remember this post, about 95%+ of our thoughts are mere repeats of what we were thinking the day before, and likely the days before that!
Simply acknowledging the fact that our brains are on constant repeat is power enough to know we can change the track.
So how do you change the track?
How do we want to remember our lives?
I was struck by a passage in one of the books I am reading, “The Mindful Path through Worry and Rumination: Letting Go of Anxious and Depressive Thoughts
This made me think, through what lens have I been remembering my past? Through what lens am I living my life NOW? And finally, through what lens do I want to live my life in the future? At the end of the day, how do I want to remember all this?
I come back, again and again, to reminding myself of the infinite power we have within ourselves to choose our thoughts.
If your current state of being is one of anxiety, worry, fear or chronic stress, ask yourself the question – what am I predominately thinking about? Very often what we think about induces your state.
