Read MoreHow To Use Your Strengths To Create A Resilient Life
Resilient people don’t shy away from difficult or uncomfortable situations that they know they must deal with to create the life they want. Take Susan for example. She came to me recently to talk about wanting to go from full-time to part-time work as a massage therapist. While she’s clear on her why — more time for travel and family — Susan is anxious about dealing with her client’s reactions when she invites them to move on to other practitioners. There are a lot of nuances to making this sort of transition, but two main areas are involved. The logistics of Susan’s schedule changes and the...

For years I’ve been making noises about teaching what has been, hands down, the MOST POWERFUL personal growth work I’ve ever experienced, studied, or used with clients. I’ve only taught it once, several years ago. Lately I’ve finally felt, deep inside, that it’s time to teach it again. Maybe it was the Super Blue Blood Moon last week… You see it’s very deep work (not for everyone) and it’s intense to teach. This is because it works on the psychological, emotional, spiritual, physical, and energetic levels, so it creates big, deep, and life changing results. I’m ready and very excited...
