I used to wear a necklace daily with the words, “I am free”. Every time I touched or felt it, I would be reminded that I am not my thoughts, I am not old stories. I am not conditioned beliefs.

The thoughts/stories/beliefs that felt like bondage were the “not enoughs”.

I made a mistake- I’m not good enough.

Who wants to hear what I have to say? I’m not good enough.

My clothes feel too tight- I’m not good enough.

I’m not fun enough, funny enough, smart enough, young enough, thin enough, interesting enough…blah blah blah!

All of those thoughts prevented me from the freedom of fully embodying my Truth.

My most recent podcast, Your Powerful Placebo, was inspired by an episode of the How I Built This Podcast. Admittedly, I’m a HIBT groupie. After listening to almost all of the episodes, the overarching themes that resonate with me include:

• There are an infinite number of ways to create.

• Anything is possible.

• Failure and success are one and the same.

I write to you from my cozy cabin: wood fire crackling away, nestled up on the couch with a cup of coffee by my side, pausing to watch huge fluffy snowflakes, illuminated by our yard light, fall abundantly from the black sky. They drift to earth so quietly, and gently; it’s almost too mesmerizing to look away!

I’ve just finished my morning journaling with my Inner Being, and I received revolutionary guidance and new perspectives about my desire to create an easy, flowy menopause transition. How beautiful and aligned it is to watch the easy, flowy snowflakes and know that this is the reality I am creating for my body’s transition. I can’t wait to share more of that entry in the future, but for now, I’d like to ask:

I’ve just returned from the incredible Live Your Truth 2024 retreat held in the gorgeous beyond belief home of Christine and absolutely full of women I love so much! I feel that Ginny and I will do a podcast episode about this for Awaken Your Truth, so I won’t share too much, except for one specific opening exercise. I realize that what I am about to say will probably prevent anyone new from ever wanting to attend a retreat, haha, but here goes.

We were sitting in a circle and Ginny asked everyone to fill in the blank. “I am afraid for everyone to know that …”. We were going to go around the circle and say our fears out loud! Immediately we could feel the energy in the room shift to panic.

The other morning I was completing a Yoga Glo class and I had the awareness that I was lost in thoughts about how annoying it is that traveling from Alaska often involves flying a red eye. My next thought was, “Wow, you are really in resistance!”

A moment later the Yoga Glo instructor cheerfully announced, “Create your own resistance!” and I couldn’t help but laugh at the coincidence, which then led to this topic inspiration.

Let me ask you, are you creating your own resistance?

And now I will answer for you. If you feel resistance, then, yes, you are.

I was really feeling the desire to connect with you, to record a podcast and do a little blog post/newsletter writing. Yesterday on my morning walk I was absolutely overflowing with inspiration, but I was out in the woods, and I knew if the ideas were keepers they would come back. I didn’t have much creating space until today, so my plan was to take action. However, every time I sat down at the computer, I was empty. I noticed my mind searching for ideas.

Happy Almost Solstice!

Are you enjoying the glorious transition into a new season? Do you have any favorite fall activities? I am loving being in the golden woods, picking berries, creating with the berries, and reading by the wood stove.

This blog post accompanies the podcast which tells the back story of EBTIECHI (Even Better Than I Ever Could Have Imagined), a tool I have enjoyed for years to release fears and anxious future thoughts.

To really enact the power of EBTIECHI, I invite you to explore a few techniques.

Oh, I had so much fun activating the energy of abundance on my most recent podcast episode. Beautiful creator, there is so much abundance here and Now. Can you tune into all your “more than enoughs” and truly bask in this abundant universe?

Journal prompts, for you, my love:

Hello gorgeous!

Today I’m sharing (with generous permission) a listener question that I wish I would have been brave enough to ask when I was really frustrated, uncomfortable, afraid and confused. I realize there are numerous resources available to guide emotional acceptance/release and awakening, so I am tickled pink that I was asked to share my perspective. This blog post accompanies the podcast episode “I WANT to feel my North Star Energy!”

The other night I saw the Alaskan perspective of the North Star for the first time in three months as it was finally dark enough! It feels like such a treat to have our stars back. While gazing at the heavens and feeling into the idea of North Star Energy,  I felt the call to record a follow up episode to last week’s podcast, with more practical, down to earth inspirations for how to align and create with your energy.
