Quick question- don’t overthink, just go with the first thing that comes to mind. What’s one thing you can do to move in the direction of your best life?

After the 3rd person messaged me that they hadn’t seen a new podcast episode in a few weeks, I started feeling guilty. That's when I knew it was time for a reframe. It was time to change guilt to gratitude, because I do feel grateful that you were missing the show and that you care enough to message me.

Not too long ago I felt stuck- I felt like my career was pulling me in 2 different directions.

If I can be vulnerable with you for a second, things are not going exactly as I planned.

I just quit my job. It’s the first time in 17 years that I haven’t had a W2 and my resignation is just 2 weeks shy of 10 years with the present company.

As I write, I technically still have a couple hours left on the clock. After I send this out I’ll head back to the office I spent 7 of the 10 years in to turn in my computer.

I have to admit that as I write this - I feel some fear in my body. Since I gave my notice I’ve felt pretty good - and it wasn’t until last night that it started to hit me.

I spent this weekend completing the Level 1 Mindfulness Meditation Teacher training with Dharma Moon.

And one of my favorite topics came up more than a few times (in fact we did a whole meditation on it)!. That topic is the Buddhist concept of “no-self”.

I'm on a mission to give you tools to help regulate your nervous system, so that you feel comfortable working with plant medicine. There's so many more benefits to a well-regulated nervous system but that one is pretty important. 

When I was going through my facilitator training for Neurodynamic Breathwork, I learned a lot about Dr. Stan Grof - psychedelic research pioneer, father of Transpersonal psychology, and founder of Holotropic Breathwork. It’s not an exaggeration to say I’m a little obsessed…in a good way because his work is prolific and has made a big impact on the way I teach breathwork.

Breathwork is a Practice

Breathwork can be a good experience, but like any experience, it quickly fades without intention and integration.

Have you ever visualized something happening, and had it come true? The experience of dreaming something into existence and having it manifest is pure bliss. It makes me believe in magic. 

What an amazing season on The Vital Point Podcast! This post is to celebrate, share progress and most importantly to ask you an extremely important question!!

Last week I wrote to you about community. I used the word “alchemical” to describe the transformational potential within a community, because community has the capacity to heal and support as well as wound and dis-integrate. 

You know the longer I'm in this space, the more I'm convinced of the alchemical power that community has on the integration process.

Happy New Year.

Breathing deeply into this new day, I feel confident, focused, ready to reap the fruit of last year, committed to planting new seeds in fertile soil.

A couple weeks ago I started sending out a series of emails all about progress. It’s a vehicle I used because I felt like I had a ton of stuff to share with you…so I broke it up into smaller chunks.
