S10|18 - Encounters: Triggers as Teachers
Learning is circular… every turn around we learn something newer or deeper… life is a series of learning the same lessons over and over again, hopefully to more depth (or with a slightly different flavour)… thus we welcome our triggers, and know that there is a gift in them. As we “encounter”, or...

S10|17 - Beyond Wealth
Wealth is much more than physical prosperity… it includes feelings of overflowing love, abundant time, and success that you feel on the inside, not just on the outside. The feeling of wealth is what creates more. We are the creators of wealth and can intentionally allow ourselves to receive more...

S10|12 - Raising Critical Thinkers with Julie Bogart
It takes less than a minute on social media to notice that there is a skill that is lacking in our world: critical thinking. It’s not what you might think… sitting in a stuffy classroom, reading texts, thinking about them and deciding what’s right or wrong. Critical thinking is MUCH deeper than...
-

S09|20 - Help for the Holidays: Anxiety and Other Big Emotions
The Holidays can be hard. In past years I’ve dealt with intense soap-opera-esque family drama (we would have made a great reality TV show years ago). I wish I had the tools and awareness back then that I have now, but everything came in the timing it needed to. So, if you’ve stumbled across this...
-
S09|19 - My Self-Help Journey
My healing journey included a ton of books, research, guides, teachers (and time) that all dropped in just when I needed them (less of self-help and more of a community project I guess!). I don’t even recognize the self that I was 5 years ago- negative attachment patterns, emotional…

-
S09|15 - Moving Through Shame

We don’t build muscles, without first breaking them down… and the breaking down feels very uncomfortable. This is the same theme for all growth in life, it’s uncomfortable to break down. It doesn’t feel good to dig inward and notice where our resistance is, but on the other side of resistance is...
