Unlocking the Path to Authentic Connection Whether you prefer to fly under the radar or thrive on being the center of attention, our relationship blueprints were shaped during our tween years, molding how we show up in our connections today. I vividly recall a moment in 5th grade when I felt compelled to fight for […]

Do you know the signs that show you that you are out of alignment? That give you a sense that there is dissonance between what you really want to do here in this world and what you are actually doing? For me, the signs creep in slowly. I get bored, impatient, critical, judgmental, angry, and […]

It’s often heart-breaking to witness the suffering of those around you. Many of us heard the phrase, “pain is real, suffering is optional,” and yet we find ourselves going down the path of avoiding feeling and wallowing on why it’s there and what it means (suffering) rather than allowing it to be and not resisting […]

They say parenthood and marriage must be lived to be truly understood. Similarly, in the realm of transformational work, words often fail to capture the profound change on the other side of “work”. It’s a paradigm shift, not just improvement—a journey I’ve experienced firsthand. Reflecting on my own life, I recall the time when I […]

Every human has a unique life story. Most of us, however, forget what really happened. Instead, we get stuck in the old interpretation of events which we think is what happened. If POWER comes from being profoundly related to reality, then this keeps us from experiencing our own power. There are many people I know […]

I believe that any consistent practice has the potential to transform us. And even writing a weekly newsletter (especially when the topics are fresh out of my mind and not pre-written, inside of some template, strategy, etc.) really takes something. It’s easy to give up. And it’s important not to. So, perhaps, to make our […]

I recently read that we had to be aware of death, but then we had to forget it during our day-to-day lives; otherwise, we could get stuck in “what’s the point of this.” In my line of work, I am constantly looking at intentions, goals, and the best ways to check things off my bucket […]

In a world where the noise of everyday life often obscures our true essence, finding a pathway to our authentic selves becomes paramount. It’s a journey many embark upon, yet few truly understand. This is where TOTAL ACCESS comes in—a concept designed to strip away the layers of ego and unlock the soul essence within […]

Raising my boys and being their mama daily gets me in touch with what it means to be a human being. Babies are so innocent and clear… and then toddlers begin to have an aim. It’s when the energy of the child can be fully felt. Starting around age 5-6, there is a sense of […]

The older I get, and with the time and space to reflect on life, everything fits in a way that is hard to describe. This morning’s news of Žarko Laušević passing has shaken me to the core because he was not just one of the greatest actors from our homeland, but also a dear friend. […]

I believe that every human being, every life, is a work of art and a potential masterpiece. Isn’t it magical that we are born into a time, a family, a culture, and then one day we pass? That line between the year of birth and the year of death is our life. There are many […]

Have you ever felt the magnetic pull of belonging, yet found yourself adapting to fit in with others? Join me on a journey of self-discovery as I reveal the power of simple daily practices and the surprising transformations they brought into my life. I have been trying to adjust my personality to feel like I […]

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch the Broadway show “Here Lies Love” with my close friend and a wonderful group of creatives. I like to embrace new experiences without prior knowledge, especially when I’m with people I trust. So, I arrived at the theater with little information about the show. To my surprise, as […]

I believe that every human being is unique. This is a fact not just my belief.  And yet, the structures in our world don’t always support uniqueness. As my children have just completed their 4th and 1st grades with exceeding academic success but were unhappy for most of their school year and felt completely suppressed […]

A little over 12 years ago, my friends, Jodi, Kally, and I committed ourselves to speaking every morning for 7 weeks, with a simple intention: clear the way to our desire to meet the love of our lives. It was around that time that I met my now husband of 11 years. But the story […]

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.” ~ Marianne Williamson Marianne Williamson just announced that she was running for President of the United States. I saw it in an email the other […]

What does that even mean? Isn’t life about what we want and getting out there to pave our way to it, find it, or create it? Well… Perhaps this may be too “spiritually charged” but I am going to say it and if it’s not clear, please respectfully ask me to elaborate in comments and […]

I am reminded to accept things in my life as they already are. I even spoke these things to a friend out loud last night: “I choose x the way it is because I choose x the way it is.”  The concept is so simple, it’s sometimes hard to not overcomplicate it. But the beauty […]

Today is my Birthday, so it’s only natural for me to talk about gifts. The Art of Giving and Receiving is a big deal. It requires awareness and attention because when the balance between the two is disturbed, we feel it. Sometimes overgiving doesn’t feel good for the person receiving because it becomes less about […]

How was your year?  Do you remember what you were wishing for last year at this time?   I thought 2022 will be a great year. It wasn’t! I learned that some years of our lives are not about success, but about the preparation for it. Astrology offers great insights on this subject if you are […]

In our culture, people are eager to hold others to account. “Holding one to account” is graceful when it’s an acknowledgment of the broken promise (integrity in this relationship), rather than entitlement or judgment of how others should be. Integrity as workability, wholeness, and congruency. A relationship is compromised when we don’t keep our promises […]

I got myself to the boiling point yesterday. Things were heating up for some time:  my older son was injured at school twice so his schoolwork was piling up as he couldn’t do it the way he used to my younger one stuttering regressed and it was hard to give him what he needed both […]

I always wanted to be SUCCESSFUL. Driven and determined, I finally arrived at a place where I believed I could make it happen. But, I needed to reframe how I felt about successful people, so I jumped at the opportunity for a free coaching session to clear my envy and whatever gunk was still in […]

Next to my piano, a mic, in front of the camera! For every child and adult who: *  was told that their passions should be set aside to do something more serious with their life * held back after being told only a selected few can make it in the industry (film, music, art, and […]

This is not Virtue Signaling! But for the sake of my mental health, I have to limit my presence on social media. Because I am using FB and IG to connect to friends and communities and know what people I care about are up to, I will not fully disengage but will reduce the time […]

“Are you back in the city?”  said a message from an amazing filmmaker and actress that I had the privilege to be in an acting class with.  “YES!!!” I said with the excitement of someone who hates being unavailable to people.  An opportunity for my younger child to be in a film (while I am […]

“My life is my message” is the sentence that always resonated deeply. I struggled so much with everything in my life that didn’t align with this message. I worked hard at it. You might think it’s arrogant to say, but I was always ahead of the curve. Until now, I didn’t own it. The event […]

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  ~ Wayne Dyer  Are you repulsed by self-analysis and generally dislike looking back or rehashing the past? Past is the past. It happened. We can’t change it, so why bother? There is a reason to look at the past. In looking […]

I think all of my life, with some rare occasions of being rebellious, I have wanted to be a wife and a mother.  Definitely, the moment I was clear I wanted to be in a relationship, I was looking forward to everything the relationship would bring: partnership, prosperity, wealth, marriage, and children. I have envied […]

When I am in a funk, I stop all action until I am back in the mindset that allows for positive results. I don’t sit back and wait to feel better. In fact, I get busy creating space where I am standing at that moment. What that looks like literally is: I spring-clean. If there […]

Every new mom will understand that while I attempted to write my blog a few times since the birth of my baby boy, I have gotten distracted every time. I am writing this 10 weeks later. Giving birth was by far the most challenging and rewarding experience in my life. I have labored naturally, with […]

My coaching client got engaged today, after 7 months of working with me. It made me so happy. On our last call, he got clear about the decision to propose. This was a miracle. Flashback to when he hired me: My client at the time had only a financial coach. So, his finances were in […]

I believe that every woman should pursue her passion in life. Recently, I asked a client what she would do if she remained single for the rest of her life. At first, she didn’t even want to think about it, afraid of sending the wrong message to God. But then, she realized my point and […]

Are you focused on finding a perfect man? If so, your energy is dispersed outward. Are you looking for the right person or trying to change the person in front of you into the one you want? This is insanity! Yet many are guilty of such intentions. But, what works and will never fail you […]

More than a decade ago, when I was dealing with a breakup, a friend of mine told me: You don’t even think real love is possible for you, do you? And for the first time, I realized that happiness of that sort was a distant fantasy, probably not to come true in this lifetime. This […]

I know, for me, so many relationships seemed promising at first. Meeting someone new had my heart excited. I could see a possibility at the beginning. But as the days went by, I would feel more distance than connection. I think women are strong, adaptable, and warriors. I am. So, rather than giving up, I […]

I wonder how much of what I am feeling is just because I am a woman. Assumptions aside, I will own up to my own experience of overwhelm and overflow of emotions. Looking from outside, it may seem like I am just taking a day to play a victim. But what I am feeling doesn’t […]

Have you ever doubted your ability to create what you want, especially when it comes to romance?  When I was single and wanted to meet the right guy, many people told me that there was no such thing. That I better be open and make the best from what was already available to me. I […]

I was thinking of beginning this blog for a long time. Nothing felt quite right, so I ended up not posting anything at all. Speaking about the intentions of my writing with other people, I realized there was a demand for conversations about a broken heart. I will share my story, in the present, with […]
