Who remembers Susanna Hoffs singing Manic Monday with the Bangles? BTW she’s rocking it on Instagram!
I used to dread Mondays. The weekend fun was over, and Monday symbolized the week's long to-do list of work. It often felt heavy and looming as it was overscheduled, trying to both catch-up and get a head start on the week.
But as I began architecting my life, creating more flexibility in my schedule, I decided to make Monday more...
As a “Thursday Thoughts” reader, I imagine you understand the power of our language and mindset and know that we can rewire our brains. So today, let's practice a quick tool you can use when feeling annoyed, grumpy, or self-critical.
Think of something in your life that you want to shift or change, especially if you feel somewhat resistant.
For example-
I’m scrolling on my phonetoo much. I don’t want my phone to be the first thing I wake up to...
We are headed into Labor Day weekend here in the US. I count this holiday as the unofficial end of summer and back-to-school weekend that will lead us into fall, which is my favorite season.
If you don't know, September 1st is when I make pumpkin waffles , start putting cinnamon in everything, and attend my first Halloween event .
Yes, I’m one of those people.
I LOVE this season. With all the unsettled anger, fear, and division in our world, I like...
One night, Matt was painting his new office space upstairs while I went downstairs to start dinner. While cooking and listening to my latest Audible book, I heard a bang followed by profanity. Concerned for my carpet (and my husband ), I ran upstairs.
The paint had gotten knocked off the ladder and onto a part of the carpet that wasn't covered in plastic. It was not a lot, but enough to send us both scrambling to clean it up as fast as possible before it dried.
After doing all we could, I...
All of the public schools around me in Orlando went back to school this week in what feels like the middle of summer to me. I love the back-to-school feeling and season, but admittedly, I’m not ready.
On Saturday, Matt and I will help Ethan move into his off-campus apartment that he's leased for a year. He's going into his third year of college, and after two years of on-campus living with a lot of challenges, he's thrilled to be living with...
I was inspired by this sign back in 2020 because it sparked ideas around the concept of energetic hygiene.
Energetic Hygiene refers to practices used to cleanse, protect, and restore one’s energy field. This is especially important if you are highly sensitive or empathic.
Your energy is as impactful as your words and actions. Every time we walk into the room, we are both impacted by the energy of the space, and we are also contributing energy to the space. When...
If you’ve been watching the news or on social media (I am especially talking to my fellow Americans), you undoubtedly have felt A LOT this past week.
You may have wondered if the world has gone mad. I have, and I found comfort in the words of the poet John Roedel. Shout out to Tamera Schmidt, who introduced me to him.
You’ve probably heard people talk about core limiting beliefs. They are the central painful story and negative assumption you’ve told yourself, often stemming from experiences, wounds, and conditioning while growing up.
These beliefs become ingrained in our subconscious, and our brain looks for evidence to prove them true. Energy goes where our attention flows. You can imagine how this belief holds us back in immeasurable ways.
My core limiting...
Today is a national holiday here in the States. Last night, I got together with friends and family for good food, laughter, and a fireworks show over Lake Baldwin. It’s a tradition I love.
And yet, I’m not feeling particularly patriotic this year. I worry and grieve about the upcoming election as more examples of corruption, system breakdown, hypocrisy, division, and the lack of compassion and leadership are revealed. But this isn’t an email...
I’ve made this recipe a few times and find it addicting. It's perfect for lunch or a summer dinner. I got recipe inspiration from @healthyeatgram and Sara Tercero.
Every morning, Phil Cooklin sends me an inspirational, vibe-raising, loving reminder of my power and the wonder of life in what feels like a personal WhatsApp voice message. Phil is a fellow IP Trainer who has worked with me on the...
