I was honored to contribute to Mati’s Daring Adventures in Creative Biz ecourse last year! I had just arrived in Hong Kong, glowing and beaming with love and light.

2 10 Reasons Why I Love Waking Up Early (and the weird fears that stop me from doing so)

Is there a pattern in your behavior that’s derailing you from experiencing the life you desire? Do you wish you were happier, more energetic & productive in your days? Here I share my own self-coaching process to help you reveal your own self-sabotaging thoughts, and integrate new, healthy habits with clarity and compassion.

1 We were made to accomplish the easy things

There are a million little easy things that can eat up a day. This app has a number, check it. Clear it. Read it. Respond to it. Like it. Share it. Email it. Save it. Bookmark it. Make a note of it. Cross it off. Make a phonecall. Write it down. Make a mental note. Let it go. Talk it out. Pick it up. Put it away. Move it again. Water the plants. Take it off. Wave it away. Say hello. Kiss goodbye.

2 Kicking the iPhone Habit

One of my long-standing habits has been to check my iPhone as soon as I wake up.

1 Making the space and inviting change in

In addition to yoga (see yesterday’s Be the change you want to see in your life post), a few other things on my list of “if I could do anything” include painting and running. Traveling is of course in there, as if I could do *anything* one of the first things I’d do is set […]

3 Be the change you want to see in your life

I’ve done yoga off & on for years, but even in the [full] years that I haven’t maintained a practice, I consistently heard myself listing yoga in my “if I could do anything at all” daydreams. Wanting to dive back into it more this year, only led to me realizing how challenging it proved to […]

5 Know your strengths

Launching my own product line was a huge step. For one, I finally did it! It had been my dream for as long as I could remember, and I finally put everything else aside, invested the time and money and went for it. However, its challenged me in ways I never expected, and I’ve learned […]
