This week on my show From Beyond Birth Trauma: From Burden to Brilliance, I had the pleasure of speaking with the wonderful Kathy Gardarian — a trailblazing, high-powered businesswoman who forged her path in a predominantly male world. Kathy shared how, in order to be seen and received as a woman in business, she often […]
For years I’ve listened to people talk about Long Covid—brain fog, exhaustion, joint pain, sleep issues, losing taste and smell. I never thought I’d join them. I caught Covid badly three years ago. By day five, taste and smell were gone. Only this summer did I finally start smelling again—I’ve been like an overexcited dog […]
I’ve just spent the last month traveling, and while the adventure was full of beauty, inspiration, new experiences, and connecting with my family and friends, there’s a part of me that is so ready to come home. There’s something about slipping back into my own space, my own rhythm, that feels deeply nourishing. Travel shakes […]
Crickets and frogs chirp and sing to each other They provide a melodic backdrop – a familiar childhood sound. Mature trees shelter wooden houses with spacious gardens. Boat-like cars turn right on red onto wide streets lined with…sidewalks – not pavements. The street is the pavement. Grocery stores offer an abundance of everything you could […]

On my show Beyond Birth Trauma: From Burden to Brilliance, nothing is off the table. We talk about the things most people shy away from. The things labeled as too private, too weird, or too uncomfortable. Things like vaginas. Bacteria. Sex. Miscarriages. Postpartum depression. Abortion. The stuff that lives quietly in the shadows of birth and early life, but […]
In my last blog, I talked about the power of returning to the body to find where we’re still holding trauma. For me, a spontaneous trigger got me into my body, following the movement of my hands, and led to the release of a big, palpable piece of energy that had been locked inside me […]
If you’re on a path of self-discovery and healing, one of the most profound practices I can recommend is this: the next time you’re triggered — by an emotion, a repeating pattern, a physical sensation, or a story you can’t seem to let go of — pause and ask yourself: “When was the first time I felt this way?” […]
In a world brimming with opinions, it’s easy to mistake open mindedness for simply agreeing with everyone, or worse, having no convictions of your own. But true open mindedness is far more profound and powerful. It’s not about being a blank slate or a nodding dog. It’s about a dynamic engagement with the vast spectrum […]
