Listen, my dear sisters (and brothers), many of us have found ourselves in relationships where we tolerated unskillful behavior from our partners. 

For far too long, we endured negative verbal communication, stone-walling techniques, blame, defensiveness, and even physical trauma.

What does it look like when we show up for ourSelves? What do we want that to become in the future?

Here’s my vision!!!...

When I show up for mySelf, it’s the real shit ~ no holds barred. It’s raw and unfiltered, no pretense.

Every research event feels like a privilege and opportunity —a chance to explore, contribute to meaningful research, and stay tethered to the incredible pillar team I call home in San Diego. But let’s be real. Glory doesn’t exist without the weight of its own toughness.

Love, though full of risks and uncertainties, offers a transformative power in our lives.

And yes, dear ones, there are no guarantees.

There is a lot of talk and focus swirling around the balancing of Divine Feminine energy and Divine Masculine energy.

About two years ago I got so fed up with myself… Where did my fire go?! 🔥 I was feeling extremely tired, not very inspired to keep up with my workouts, and started to recognize that the roots of my own values and self-worthiness got off track.

Ever realized how we often exert tremendous effort to manipulate our surroundings, pushing to align them with the stories we’ve crafted? When they match, bliss ensues; when they don’t, we suffer.

Utilizing spiritual tools is essential for guiding us through life's situations, circumstances, and challenges.

Alright, I’ve been wanting to get this in ink for quite awhile. I’m calling BS. Technically I’ve written about this topic in various ways over the years but this time, well, it may feel harsh, direct, or not as gentle as usual, but… it’s time.

What I’m about to share are a couple profound experiences (teachings!) I witnessed as a young adult. It is with sincere thanks to my family for always allowing me to be who I AM. And for the courage in each of you to always be with ‘what is’.

No matter where we go in life, there we are… we are the one constant who is always there. What is your level of self-love?

On my trail run today at Del Dios it struck me, that even though I have believed this about myself, it became very clear ~ I have a great depth and appreciation for seeing the beauty all around me.

How are we showing up? I am only as good as my clients. And honestly, I have learned more from my clients about life then I can teach them about training.

Have you ever stood in front of someone as your best self, giving it your all to seek to understand, to be curious, to show grace and unconditional love? Not walking away, not leaving, just holding space in faith of the best outcome?

I realize I have always had a thing for the underdog. Maybe it is because I could see all my brokenness, uniqueness, pain, inquiry, confusion, hurt, and sadness within another. In a way I guess it helped me feel more human.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks…

Boy am I Thankful! I feel blessed to be a small business owner for over 13 years now. However, many of my biggest successes are owed to a few of my previous corporate work and schooling experiences.

Regardless of experience, aren’t we all truly one? I open my heart and voice to you with a desire to connect and realize there is no separation between us. Here is the start of my undetermined journey….
