Have you ever shut down your manifestation goals with:

"There's just no way, it's ridiculous to even think I can, whom am I anyway."

"There just isn't enough time, money or me to go around and get it all done."

"I've tried before and it didn't work."

Yeah this gal right here has, probably a few more times than I'd like to admit! 

I've just got back after spending 6 days with my grandbaby. Norah just turned one and she reminded me of what it's like to seamlessly go after what you want without fear. 

When we were kids we dreamt big, we tried things without fear or pre-conceived notions and we just knew we could do it, even if it took us a few tries.

Then we grew up, life kicked us around a bit and we figured out that life doesn't always go as planned and sometimes it hurts...a lot and maybe we should stop doing those things that aren't comfortable.

I've been studying the art of transformation and manifestation for a lot of years now.

When I started this...

Create the vision, hold it in your mind's eye and then poof all your dreams come true. Is it really that easy?

Dear Sister Friend, I wish I could tell you so. 

The truth is that manifesting what you want in life, whether it's a fatter bank account, thinner waistline, a more loving relationship or creating heart centered business doing what you love, takes more than just a hope and dream.

Creating a life you love takes vision, commitment to do the work and full trust in who YOU are, and what you are being called to do. 

I want you to really meditate on this last statement I gave you.

The three parts required of you:

• Create Your Ideal Vision
• Stay Committed, No Matter What
• Fully Trust in Who You Are and What You Are Being Called to Do

Often we give our power away, unknowingly of course.

We tell people our dreams and goals, and then they say something that we take to heart, because we think they know better than us, but they don't always. 

This is why...

Hey There Friend,

You want to go into 2020 feeling unstoppable right! Awesome.

Here's what NOT to do:

• Start goals because you think you, "Have to."
• Continue beating yourself up for not reaching past goals.
• Hanging on to someone else's ideals and self imposed values.

INSTEAD you're about to take back your POWER. 

Here is part 2 of the Empath Woman Awaken Ritual Series.

 Today, let's walk through 2 simple steps to recognize where your power is being taken away from you:

• Where you might be giving your power away.
• Which goals are truly yours and how to crush them without all the emotional baggage and guilt of the past.

This week is about empowering you with some serious truth, and a concrete way to stop struggling and get more of what you want.

You ARE tired of the struggle, RIGHT?

 If you're still struggling, it's because something within you says it's not okay to have it. 

Here's the FANTASTIC news about that!!!

Hey There Friend!

The end of the year is upon us, Grandfather Winter is here asking you to be still, to slow down, to put to rest old habits that no longer serve you, and celebrate what you have accomplished, and then of course prepare the way for the next best version of you. 

It's the most "wonderful time of the year," as some would say...but for me it didn't always feel this way.

This time of year would bring a sense of urgency, and act as a reminder that I hadn't accomplished what I wanted, (again) and the year was quickly coming to an end. I was reminded yet another year had gone by and I still wasn't living the life I wanted, I was still stuck. 

Then something changed...I discovered 3 rituals that changed my life...

but more on that in a minute.

Right now I want you to make a decision, do you want to spend another year-end stressed and overwhelmed in a constant state of restriction ... or do you want to create your life with intention and ease, and...

Hey There Friend,

This week over on The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast, I had a special guest and we talk all things overwhelm, and how instead you can be more empowered to feel exactly the way you want to feel.

I don't know about you, but before I had a handle on my intense feelings, overwhelm was a familiar friend.

Before I get into the episode, and how you can lower your feelings of overwhelm by being intentional with the space you create.

I want to help you understand that overwhelm isn't actually a true thing. (Even if it feels like it.)

It's an emotion, driven by your thoughts.

The best part is that you get to master your mind and therefore master your thoughts.

The key is being willing to pay attention to your thoughts, and recognize them for what they are.

I'm curious if you ever find yourself "numbing out," and not wanting to feel anything, using things like, over-eating, over-drinking, over-spending and even over stuffing your house, and closet with things.

In...

Hello Friend, 

I have been really studying emotional eating and managing the tendency to use food to numb out and not feel so much, so I created this weeks podcast to share with you in hopes to be of service.

As an empath we feel everything on such a deep level and the sugar cravings and overeating can sometimes be one of our coping mechanisms to help us numb those feelings out and not have to deal with them.

You know the feeling, the donut screaming your name on the break room table. The Ben and Jerry's calling you from the freezer. The warm chocolate chip cookies your daughter just baked, beckoning from the kitchen counter. The nachos eating away at your willpower as you binge on Netflix. Here they are again-the cravings!

We all have them, but do you know why, and what to do about them? Cravings have both physical and emotional components. The most common foods we crave are sugar, carbs, salt, chocolate and my fave cheese! 

So let's chat about some helpful tips to...

Hello Dearest Friend, 

Today I want to teach you about uncovering your greatest gifts and releasing what it is that is getting in your way of living your best life, and serving at your greatest capacity.

At 82 pounds overweight I carried shame and fear, but not because of my weight.

Looking back I realize I felt those feelings well before I ever put the weight on with over-eating, and trying to numb out those feelings.

That shame led me to shitty boyfriends in school that abused me physically and emotionally. Did I truly understand my worth if I ended up in those situations?Or ended up in a religion that told me I had to have a husband to make it to the highest realms of heaven? 

I carried deep rooted shame, shame from inner parts of me that needed healed, not shame from my weight, my weight was simply a symptom of the shame I carried.

A couple days ago I had a healing session with a Shaman *gasp* to my Christian friends, this world isn't as scary as it has...

Hey There Friend,

I hope today finds you well. I am just coming in from being outside with the animals, maybe you don't know, but I run a 501(c) 3 federally recognized Non-Profit Animal Rescue, we call it Hillside Haven Pig Rescue, (although we have many kinds of animals here).

We've had rain here and they've all been cooped up. Horses that are usually turned out in big open spaces, were confined to smaller stalls under safe keeping from the weather. 

This really got me thinking, are we making time for play? By we, I mean you and me and our society as a whole.

-OR-

Are we all cooped up feeling restricted and confined to the safety of our own creating? 

I've always been drawn to animals, they've saved me many times in my life.

They are a beautiful reflection of us, and what is possible, and a mirror of when we might be restricting and harnessing ourselves. Especially the beautiful, intuitive, highly sensitive equine. 

As I turned our gorgeous mares out they...

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.-Marianne Williamson

 I can't tell you the amount of times I said to myself, " I am doing every single thing right and this dang weight won't budge, nothing is working."

Through my own weight loss experience and almost a decade of coaching I have come to understand the real meaning of "nothing works," as really a way of self sabotage, and one of the lies we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. 

The real issue isn't that we don't have time, or we are too stressed and overwhelmed, or that we have a low thyroid...it goes much deeper than that. 

We have what Gay Hendrick's in his book "The Big Leap" calls, an Upper Limit Problem. This is about when we start to push up against the limit of what what we believe we deserve, we take actions (either consciously or unconsciously) to bring...

 In a State of Desperation Willing to Do Anything to Lose Weight, I Found Myself Extremely Sick, Facing A Cancer Scare, Autoimmune and Pain Over My Entire Body - AFTER Losing 70 Pounds.

I want to get a little more personal with you today and share why I am so passionate about making sure you understand the right way to do Keto, and quite frankly the right way to lose your weight.

In my desperation I fell prey to the weight loss companies knowing I would do anything to lose my weight.

 The shakes, the bars, the pills, the shots, the ready made meals, the point system, you name it I had tried it ...

My last resort was a Keto-ish diet and yes, I lost 70 pounds but ended up in the worst shape of my life.

I found myself extremely sick, facing a Cancer scare, autoimmune disease, pain over my entire body. 

 I literally had to claw my way back to good health. I did it, I healed my gut, manage my autoimmune, don't have Cancer, and...
