I spent my life tapping down my power in order to be accepted and acceptable. I never talked about the ghost in the attic when I was six. Who would believe me? I never talked about the abuse in my first marriage- it was embarrassing, not that bad, and others...

The river is running. Really, it’s just a little tributary stream a weak-handed stone’s throw away from my back door. We’ve lived here since June and the creek has been a sand - filled dry bed that we cross to hike the acres of trails above. Yet, after hours of...

Dearest There were times in my past where I really needed a helping hand. After my divorce in 2000, I was so lost. Limp with pain and struggle. And really, really broke. You see, I was so afraid that I walked away from the marriage with very little. I just wanted to...

Dear one, You are needed in the world today. Your voice is needed as we design of a new way of doing business. Your message is needed as we weave healing for the planet. Your beingness is needed in  collaboration with woman who are gathering. When we join our...

Dearest Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to share the brave, powerful women in my Art of Feminine Marketing year long program with you over the last two weeks. Thank you for witnessing their wounds and their magic unfold. I’m filled with...

It started with a photo Lindsay A Miller had posted of herself, in a trash bag, crying on the side of the road. It touched me. Such bravery to be witnessed in her deepest fear, to stand on the edge of visibility and truth. To be seen. This is where the deep healing...

Sometimes the wound is simple, elegant in the way it pushes us, prods us, torments us. Sometimes, in the face of all the things that are happening in the world, it’s easy to dismiss our own wound. Get over it, we think. I had a good childhood. This is a small thing....

“Being visible is terrifying.” Jen wrote after our first experience in 2017. “Regardless of what’s going on inside, I’ve spent a great deal of energy trying to keep the outside looking mellow and in control. When I haven’t been able to keep up the facade, I use humor...

2018 was the third year that I’ve been working with clients to reveal the gifts in their wounds. It was the second year that I’ve partnered with Lindsay A Miller to photograph and memorialize the wounds. Our second year combining our vision and unique gifts ...

Have you  ever honored the deepest, most secret dark parts  of your soul? For most people the answer is no, because we usually  exile them  and feed them a diet of shame. In so doing, we hide them  from the love they/we crave. The core of my...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you let the world really see you? Maybe you’ve felt constriction thinking about being that vulnerable? “I could never let them know that about me!” I understand. I’ve felt that way. I’ve hidden safely behind role as coach....

Have you ever just stopped to consider the beauty and gifts in your wounds , instead of burying them deeply inside or stomping them into the ground? For most people the answer is no, we exile them to the dark and feed them a diet of shame. But not for my clients. As a...

My heart expands. The hair on my arms stands up. My eyes brim with new seeing. My throat fills with emotions from lifetimes together. What will she bring forth next?? This is how I feel when I see Lindsay A Miller’s work. Her ability to capture the...

“The Art of Feminine Marketing”….  The words slipped past my tongue. I felt a shiver of excitement. My eyes filled with tears, a sign that I had hit on a truth. The Art of Feminine Marketing was sending a call. Would I be the one to birth her into the world? Like...

It’s the end of another year. A time for reflection and closing. I was on the final call with my mentors and coaching sisters when I heard myself say, “I don’t believe in myself anymore.” You see, belief has some level of NOT knowing. Some level of choosing to...

I saw a post the other day that said, “A strong woman gets up and does it anyway.” I wanted to throw up. Seriously???… how does that serve anyone? Just do it? Push through it? I wasn’t surprised to see that post was shared by a man! Because doing it anyway… that is...

If you are anything like me, you are already dreaming of what is possible for you in the coming year. You are dreaming of more… More freedom More connection More influence More money And, you are also probably already starting to craft plans, strategies and big New...

The first time I Named My Year, I thought it was a really fun little alternative to New Year Resolutions. I never guessed what a powerful process choosing just a word or phase to guide my year could be. Each year since, I’ve dedicated time in December to focus on the...
