4 Key Steps To Making Your Dreams Come True

I love a good daydream. There is nothing more fun than conjuring up images in your mind’s eye of where your life is going, what goals you are going to achieve and imagining the feeling you will have once you achieve that vision. Studies have shown that daydreaming is even healthy (I wish someone had […]

Is Your Destiny Written In Stone?

I just returned from an amazing event in Seattle that I co-hosted with my friend and colleague Colette Baron-Reid.  It’s hard to describe how cool it is to do tandem readings with your friend, but it reminds me of the old “Wonder Twin” power cartoons where the characters would put their hands together and activate […]

Resolution Solution

The concept of a new year tends to invoke a lot of energy within us.  There is something sacred about celebrating the passage of time with the entire planet.  As we usher in 2014, our minds start racing with the possibility of change. While I have always enjoyed making resolutions, my approach has evolved this […]

Rational Vs. Irrational Fear

The other day at the gym (where oddly enough I get most of my inspiration for blogs) I had a thought about the difference between rational and irrational fear.  I spend a lot of time with clients, trying to intuit if their fear is grounded in reality or self-created.  I believe that a self-created fear […]

Do Your Affirmations Need A Tune Up?

​I think it’s human nature to strive for our personal best. We live in a goal-oriented society, and all of us have aspirations that echo in our brains. As a child, you may have received a trophy for playing soccer; perhaps you were given a badge for tying the perfect knot as a boy or […]

Jumpstart

I’ve had writers block.  Or is it blogger’s block?  Whatever it is, I’ve been blocked. My mind can conjure up a dozen good reasons as to why I haven’t written a blog in almost six months.  Maybe it was reading some of the negative comments from the last blog that I wrote.  Perhaps it was […]

Tune In Or Tune Out?

I had to drag myself out of bed today.  Last night was one of those nights that I couldn’t sleep because my mind was racing.  I was bursting with thoughts.  Elaborate conversations were happening in my head.  Not guides or dead people; it felt more like brainstorming.  When the alarm clock buzzed this morning, I […]

When the Student Becomes the Teacher

This might come as a surprise to you, but it’s hard for me to accept a compliment.  This is especially true when it comes to my work.  It’s not that I don’t think I am good at what I do.  I’m personally quite proud of the career that I have made for myself.  I was […]

Turning Weaknesses Into Strengths

How many times in a therapeutic environment has an issue from your past come up and you’ve thought: “Here we go again”? I swear I have financed my shrink’s summer home talking about body image issues. I’ve probably sent his kids to a lovely private school from our countless sessions discussing that inevitable impostor syndrome. […]

Hesitation Frustration

The other night I got a text from a friend, asking if I could come in the following day to be a guest on the new Melissa Etheridge radio show.  As if this should be a question at all?  There are certain opportunities in life that present themselves, and you do them without hesitation.  I […]
