If you are curious to know where my mind and spirit and soul have been wandering you can read these writings of exploration.

These are reflections of where my mind was in a particular moment. They are the truth of that moment rather than a truth of all time. Please read them as they are meant….a truth felt in a moment in time…perhaps a new truth has emerged or perhaps this truth has deepened. I would welcome your thoughts and reflections…what did this stir in you….

These writings also will give you a sense of how it may be to work together, the terrain we may explore

Learning to Be Bigger Than Your Big Feelings

There is no healing point where you don't have big feelings anymore. That would just be a numb, disconnected life. What we're cultivating together is your capacity to be with whatever shows up—all of it. The fear that rises when you dare to dream bigger. The grief that comes with letting go. The overwhelm that accompanies real change. You get to be the captain of your own ship while honoring every voice on board.

Trusting Your Intuition in Midlife: A Guide to Making Aligned Choices

"The most painful thing is to be misaligned, to have your life out there be different from your life in here." —Cheryl Strayed

In midlife, we often face overwhelming choices about what to keep, change, or release. But what if making aligned decisions isn't about forcing choices—but learning to listen to the wisdom your body already holds?

I've discovered that when I slow down and tune into my inner compass, my next step becomes clear. It's a practice that has transformed how I move through my midlife years.

What would it feel like to trust your inner knowing? Read more about cultivating this practice of conscious living.

Our Only Job is to Be Here

Our Only Job is to Be Here

What if our only job was really to be here. We have these imaginations which can launch us into the future, the past and every which way but here. They seem so enticing and invite us to build and create and then move towards that. Yet, when we do, when we are focused there, we are living in fantasy time. It’s fun, yes. I love living in my imagination. This isn’t a knock on imagination. But it seems there is some way we have all closed up shop on the present and took up residence in imagination land.

A wild life is a present life

What does it mean when we say we are living a wild life?  Re-wilding our life?  It means many things to many people.  It is buzzing around.  That is important, the buzzing.  We have become so lost from our contact with the natural elements, fibers, textures that we emerged out of.  So yes, I am glad re-wilding is buzzing around.

When we are wild, in the wild, of the wild, a component of that is being right there.  Right in the midst of whatever is alive in the woods, in the sky, below the earth.  We are sensing, hearing, seeing, smelling and touching it all.  When we are immersed in the wild our senses are alive.  We are noticing it all as it unfolds, this life, in the wild.

Truth-Telling in Midlife: The Courageous Path to Authentic Living

I am here to help women connect with their deepest truth, to become their own truth-tellers. This doesn’t mean avoiding lies; it means being present in each moment. It means knowing what you’re feeling, being aware of where your body is, listening with your entire being, and speaking from that place—moment by moment. Truth-telling isn’t easy. It involves listening to all parts of yourself: the scared parts, the puffed-up parts, the arrogant parts, the shy parts. Then, you must part the seas and step forward from your essence. From there, truth emerges.

Truth-telling means doing what feels essential in your bones, even when part of you is screaming that if you do it, you will be rejected, dismissed, discarded, or canceled.

Unpolished Gold: Why Doing Less Can Transform Your Midlife Experience

Do Less…..Be more…..

Really. I mean it.

Do less.

We do so much. So much more than we need to do. We do a lot to make things look perfect. Polished. edited. Complete. Why? Why do we insist on putting things in perfect packages and boxes and presentations?

The internet makes this more incentivized, more alluring, with the beautiful edited polished websites that present a persona, a package that is not human, not wild, not natural, not really real. Why do we (me included) insist on presenting a perfectly edited version of everything. Completeness? Is it because of the idea we have internalized of arriving somewhere? Does it help us feel that we have arrived somewhere when we finish something and it feels perfect. Packaged well? Then what? We set off again to create another perfectly polished package.
