Hello, Rainbow. Self-care has come a long way, baby. It’s become a definite player in our lifestyle landscape, especially over the past several years.

Boundaries, Social Media + the Dance: Active + Intentional Engagement in the Landscape of Your Life
Hey there, Sugar. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had so many conversations lately around the humanity climate here in the United States.

Hey there, Sweetpea :) So, I think I have a pretty healthy sense of worthiness. I generally think I’m awesome and I feel quite worthy of great things. But somehow, there’s still a but involved somewhere, and it’s taken me a long time to figure out some of the wheres. Here are a few of […]
The Time is Yours to Take, Snowflake
Take your time, girl. No need to rush. You’ll get there right on time. When you trust in the Universe and divine or right timing, it frees up so much precious energy that might have been spent angsting or second guessing or trying to figure out what went wrong so as not to make that […]

Feeling Undeserving Keeps You Underserving
This morning I was reading from Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In: Women, Work, & the Will to Lead. In it, she tells about a talk she attended her senior year of college (at oh, you know, Harvard) that addressed the idea of imposter syndrome – that thing where many people, women in particular, feel […]
