In our Modern World, life can get really busy and really fast. We spend a lot of time and energy running around, and also place a lot of importance on our left brains - our rational minds.
Despite all this, somewhere, deep in our souls, we know the importance of slowing down and connecting to our inner wisdom, connecting to our right brains - that place of deep intuition and creativity that holds so many answers and so much richness for us.
Here is a list of my absolute favorite top 5 ways to really settle in and listen to the treasury of wisdom that your heart and soul has for you. None of them need to take up a lot of time or effort! Connecting to your inner wisdom can be easy and flowing.
1) Journaling: To cut through the mind’s chitter chatter and get straight to your inner wisdom, journaling works best if you write fast, without stopping, without worrying about grammar or language, or even full sentences. The name of the game is here is to write quickly without judgement or even thought, and see what comes up for you. It helps to start with a provocative phrase like: “I am a woman who…..” or “I am here….” ...keep reading

You are a daughter of the earth, a lover, a mother, an artist, a daughter, a friend, a healer….a woman.
You are complete already, whole unto yourself. Your heart is the barometer for what is right in your life.
You have choice. Choice is freedom. At any moment, you can choose to step into the flow, step into your flow and move along with the energy.
Honor yourself. Love yourself. Know you were put in this planet to do amazing things with your love. Open. Open. Open more. ...keep reading

Over the years, I have noticed that some of the most common, most painful, and most challenging blocks stem from thinking patterns. Often, it’s not our outside circumstances, our luck, our families or our businesses that keep us stuck. Instead, what tends to hold us back and hurt us the most comes from deep inside - from our ways, in fact our patterns, of negative thinking.
When a negative thinking pattern gets activated, outside circumstance and rationale fade away, and those judgment-based, guilt-laden, chaos-seeking inner voices take over to color reality.

As we reach the end of June, we are coming upon the half-year mark. This is a wonderful time to take stock of how far you’ve come with your goals for 2009 and plan how to leverage your time and align your actions to follow through on all your goals with joy and confidence by the end of the year.
Does this sound familiar to you?: Very often, by the time June rolls around, not only have you gotten stuck around our yearly goals, but sometimes you even forget what they were!
I’m going to take you through a special Soulful Coaching for Busy Women exercise that will help you take stock of where you are with your goals, see what has been in your way of accomplishing them, re-focus them if they are no longer resonating with you, and then create a clear and easy action plan for reaching success: ...keep reading

Imagine this:
You are standing at the edge of a cliff. Deep inside there is a rising desire to jump. You know in your heart that if you can get to the other side of the canyon, there are amazing gifts and rewards waiting for you. Gifts that will make your heart sing. You just know it.
However, you are scared to take that leap. For one thing, you’ve never jumped so far before. For another thing, you don’t actually know for a fact that you’ll make it to the other side.
So, do you take that leap to get to what you know you want in your heart? ...keep reading

I am a firm believer that each of us, no matter who we are, has a deep and sacred desire to be BIG and be seen for the positive impact we are making on our families, friends, communities and the world. Even if you know yourself to be the most modest person out there, you still have, somewhere inside, an authentic and beautiful desire to fully show up for your life, do amazing things, and be recognized for it.
This could take the form of having a super-successful business, becoming a performer, writing a bestselling book, receiving accolades at work, creating a website that provides resources and information on a topic you’re passionate about, becoming the President of your PTA or Co-op Board, or excelling as a leader in your volunteer organization or family. We each carry within us the desire to be big and seen because there is so much to be gained from it ...keep reading

Have you ever noticed that it’s often times the small things that occupy and drain much of our time and energy? It’s those subtle things that unassumingly pile up - the lightbulb that needs to be replaced or the dress that needs to be returned or the parking ticket that needs to be paid or the call that needs to be answered - that often nag at us and take up more and more psychic space the longer they remain uncompleted.
Here’s an example of what I mean: Recently, I was working with one of my clients on making her workday more efficient. She was having a lot of trouble meeting deadlines and returning all of her emails for her small business. When we took a closer look at some of the sources of her workday inefficiency, ...keep reading

Our bodies contain treasures of important and valuable information about our lives and our careers. This body wisdom is called intuition, calling our intuition to action can help us navigate our lives with more ease and confidence.

We’ve all felt it - those dreaded mornings when you wake up knowing your workday is going to be tough or dreary. Perhaps it’s an intense meeting with a prickly boss or a 5-hour session on learning the new computer system or back-to-back meetings all day.
Those days can be long and arduous. However, they don’t necessarily have to be. Attitude counts a lot on these days, and sometimes a quick and easy attitude adjustment can turn a dreaded day into a bearable - maybe even an enjoyable - one.
Take Action - Get Excited!
Here’s one of my favorite and simple techniques for managing my energy around particularly unsavory workdays: ...keep reading
