The Answers You Seek are Inside You: Access Your Superpower with Coaching & Emotion Code
Your answers lie within. This is what drew me to coaching: this realization left me in awe as a client newly discovering that I hold many of my own answers, and it’s what inspired me to become a coach, witnessing the ways the coaching process innately reveals peoples’ superpowers and empowers them to excavate and hear their own answers to questions, issues, challenges, and navigating the path forward. In my opinion, it’s why coaching is so powerful, because the answers aren’t handed to us, they come from within us! Coaching and Emotion Code are vehicles to wellness and transformation.

A Delicious Accident: A Spoonful of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Oil Pulling & A Dash of Anaphylaxis
I have an invitation for you today: How could you invite some deliciousness into the self-care practices you do daily that simply make you feel great? I had a very unexpected, rather terrifying experience in January. Living in Florida, I occasionally indulge in the holy and heavenly experience that is raw, fresh coconut available all year long here in the tropics. I love coconut with all my heart and taste buds, never want it to be a food I can’t have in my life, and therefore have eaten it sporadically, in moderation. Then one morning I made my breakfast protein smoothie with my favorite occasional indulgence, and five minutes later felt like I couldn’t breathe very well. My heart was racing, I was trembling, and wondering if I was having trouble swallowing, took a sip of water to find it just didn’t want to go down easily because my throat was swelling.

The Art of Receiving: How Giving to Yourself & Being Vulnerable are Not Only a Gift to Others, but Also Your Job
Let’s talk about receiving. It’s actually one of your most important jobs as a human, a spouse, a parent, a colleague, a relative and as a friend. For many, this isn’t the easiest practice.

Mental Health: Housekeeping Your Thoughts for Happiness & Optimal Wellness

This upcoming event didn’t directly affect them in any way, yet it occupied invaluable space in their mind, and I could feel how it was zapping their energy and steeping them in negativity.
