A Calm Steady Mind Is A Way Of Life
There’s a misbelief that a calm mind means the mind will stop thinking. The mind’s purpose is to think. Expecting it to all of a sudden stop thinking is unrealistic. The key to creating a more calm and steady mind isn’t about having a blank mind. It’s a process of...
Are Desires Keeping You Stuck?
Feeling stuck is a hard place to be. For most, feeling stuck often comes along with ambivalence which means there’s a part of you that wants to change and a part that doesn’t for some reason. A part of you wants to make changes to feel better but is fearful of doing...
Why I No Longer Do Individual Therapy
I’ve worked with a lot of human beings in a lot of different ways over the past two decades. From kiddos to teenagers. From young adults to adults nearing the end of life. In an office, out in the middle of the wilderness. Sometimes one-on-one, other times in groups....
Discern What Is Real To Get Unstuck
Sitting down to write a blog post this week has been challenging and I kept getting stuck. I’ve started, stopped, edited and finally thrown out what I was working on because it wasn’t resonating with me. I’d just as soon get up and walk away. But I have made a...

Purpose Calms the Mind
Finding purpose is important because it helps our mind focus, make decisions, and guide us in how we live our life. When we feel purposeless, our minds will do whatever it takes to change this, even if it is harmful to us. Having purpose calms the mind and body. ...
Practice Of Abundance
If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know I write about abundance often. It is a wonderful practice to shift a negative, lack-based mindset to one that is more positive and connected…if it’s done correctly. The mind is tricky. Our limited patterns of...
Turn ‘I Can’t’ Into ‘I Can’
The only person that stops you from doing things is yourself. I learned this first hand in 2014 when I became curious hearing myself say, “I can’t.” I was able to turn ‘I can’t’ into ‘I can.’ Letting go of a story and taking action were all I needed to let things...
