7 Tips for Deepening Your Meditation Practice

Meditation is a challenging practice. With the fast pace of our modern society where instant gratification is valued, trends change by the day, and being stressed and overworked is worn as a badge of honor, it can be quite a challenge to simply sit still.

Most of us know or have heard of how beneficial meditation can be for our mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. But simply knowing the benefits of a practice doesn't mean that it's easy to make it into a habit.

Why I Value Creativity in Business and Life

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been creative. As a child, I lived for arts and crafts time. I loved to color. I loved to imagine. I loved to play make-believe.

Art was my entry into connecting with and channeling creativity, but the more consistently I create, the more I see it as SO much more than art. Creativity is an action, a way of thinking, a way of being. It is a catalyst for change. It is a life force and life affirming act. It makes us feel good. It makes us feel connected.

How to Use Breathwork for Creativity and Intuition

I want to share with you how breath helps our creativity and increases connection with our intuition. Ultimately, breathwork is so effective because of the connect between our minds and bodies. This connection - known as the Mind-Body Connection - is the idea that we can access and regulate our emotions through the mind and the body, and what we experience in the mind manifests in the body. The mind is what we consciously know, and the body represents our subconscious.

4 Benefits of Hiring Coaches as a Creative Entrepreneur

Recently I shared why it’s important, especially as small business owners, to ask for help. I want to get a little more specific now and share with you the benefits of hiring coaches. I have personally worked with four different coaches in the last few years, and each one had a specific expertise and was able to help me in a new and unique way. Working with these coaches was an investment not just in my business, but in myself!

Benefits of Creativity for Mental Health

Creativity has been transformative in my own healing journey, and I believe it can have the same effect on your own mental health. Finding a creative outlet separate from your own career - whether you’re a creative or an artist like me or not - will keep you inspired and fulfilled through play and fun! It’s essential to overcoming creative blocks and processing all of your thoughts and feelings. If you’re ready to start taking steps toward true mental healing and restoration, here’s how doing something creative can support you on that path.

January Reflections: HOLDING SPACE FOR CHANGE

I just love the new year! It always gives me such energy and renewed hope. Do you get excited too?

This time of year is special to me because it sparks and supports so much of my healing and growing. A new opportunity has been given to us to begin again, to dream of something new, to plan for it (loosely!) and start the inspired actions to make that dream into a reality.

Why Shopping Small, Minority and Women-owned Businesses Matters

It’s so important to prioritize shopping from small businesses, especially when it comes to handmade products or art. When you invest in independent artists and small businesses, you’re ultimately investing in someone’s dreams. It is so much more meaningful than buying mass-produced products from large corporations. It’s also a great way to support your local economy and increase minority communities’ wealth.

Why It’s Important to Ask for Help

I’ve always been resistant to asking for help, but last year forced me to do it again and again. I was growing and pursuing full-time self-employment, and I was healing and working on my mental health, but these experiences led me into a space of needing more support, which at first was a huge obstacle because it triggered past wounds and shadows. In the end, it became an incredibly transformative learning and growing experience.

The Benefits of Vulnerability: Human Connection

Being vulnerable with yourself first and foremost is incredibly important as it allows you to understand more deeply your experiences and emotions. Once you start practicing vulnerability with yourself you may find that you have the confidence to start sharing more with other people - not anyone and everyone in your life, but the right person. The person who will support you and listen to you and hold space for you.

It's a Crying Shame: The Importance of Embracing Our Emotions

Ever since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve been brought to tears almost daily, which has been a real adjustment for me. At first, it was concerning - I shouldn’t be crying this much. It’s not normal. Then it was annoying - Jeez, I’m crying again?! I don’t have time for this. But as 2020 progressed into 2021, I learned to accept it. Perhaps it’s not “normal,” but it makes sense. This past year and a half has brought a lot to the surface for all of us.

ON INTEGRATION: Stepping into New Identities

I can hardly believe July is over, but then again, it was a busy month. For me, the past month has been about integration: reemerging back into the world and social events as well as stepping into my new role as coach.

LIFE CHANGES: Blinded But Now I Can See

It’s been a few months since I’ve written to you. Mid-April, I withdrew from social sharing to reflect and incubate. In truth, I was afraid. At the time, I was confronted by some big, life-altering questions.

ON VULNERABILITY: Being Open with Ourselves & Others

Today, I want to talk about vulnerability and how it changed my life.

Before I saw Brene Brown's TED Talk, I falsely believed that vulnerability and emotions were signs of weakness. I falsely believed that building walls and being guarded would keep me safe from harm.

PLANT WISDOM: Out with the Old, In with the New

Did you know that when plants grow they shed leaves? As they redirect nutrients into the area of growth, the old leaves die and make room for the new. This is true for all cycles of life. There is always death before there is birth.

SLOWING DOWN: Reflecting on the Process

It's been an unusually slow week for me. I'm trying not to allow the quiet spook my peace. I'm not used to having all this time in between, and yet I must remind myself this is all by my own plan and design.

It is uncomfortable and unfamiliar. Growth has been my focus for so long.
