Yesterday, I drove through the Yorkshire Dales to attend a funeral. The sun was out, casting a golden glow over vibrant green fields that seemed to have an undercoat of spring just waiting to break through. Pregnant sheep grazed beneath trees still stretching from their winter slumber. The first brave shoots of crocus and daffodil […]
When the Universe wants your attention, it doesn’t always whisper. Sometimes, it uses a crowded dance floor. I’m in a new relationship, and recently, I got triggered. We were dancing when my partner mentioned he probably couldn’t go away for my birthday week because of work. Instantly, I felt a wave of disappointment so sharp […]
Why timing matters more than effort for women’s nervous systems and hormones Most women don’t burn out because they’re doing too much, they burn out because they’re doing the right things at the wrong time in the wrong energy. In a recent conversation with my function medicine gut-health-specialist friend Leisa, we unpacked something that feels […]
Viktor Frankl once wrote: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is your power to choose your response. And in your response lies your growth and your freedom.” I come back to this quote again and again. Not because it’s neat or comforting, but because it’s true on so many levels. […]
Recently in one of my online classes of From Fear Into Love, we were talking about how we don’t always get our parenting from our actual mother and father but sometimes from different people that we meet.

You know, when somebody says, “Oh, you’re just like your father,” my mother used to tell me that all the time when I was annoying her. In the jungle through the screened-in huts I heard a couple having an argument and she said to her husband, “You’re just like your mother — that’s right! I said it!” […]
I’m absolutely overjoyed to announce the release of my first children’s book, ‘Bird Hadn’t Heard.’ I’ve written it under my pen name of Sierra Hamilton for my children’s books because my coaching books are under my own name. I’m thrilled because I wrote this book years ago when my kids were little and my late […]
When we worry about someone, it’s not helping anyone! It doesn’t help us. It doesn’t help them. In fact, it actually causes a lot more problems than anything else. We think that if we’re worrying about someone, we’re caring about them. ‘I worry because I care.’ But really, that’s not how it works. You know […]
The other day I was speaking to my good friend Alex and I asked him if he was having a relationship. He said, “I’m dating my life!” I thought how wonderful! That’s absolutely perfect and such a great metaphor for everything I teach. Because when we’re dating somebody, we take extra time and attention to […]
