What is at the depth of our feelings? How do we connect and heal from past hurts? How can we let go of embarrassments and judgments that created layers of self-doubt?

There is a reason the airlines instruct us to put our oxygen mask on first before caring for others. Without doing so, we would not be able to help those around us. Same goes in our lives and businesses. When we prioritize ourselves, it often feels selfish or wrong. Truth is, unless we intentionally [...]
Times when we feel disappointed and at a loss are tough. Testing our mood, patience and practices. Tapping into tools like gratitude can escape us at the very moments we need it most.

That information must be heard. Not being heard is one of the biggest contributors to conflict in relationships and society. Being heard allows [...]
We have an inner voice that can project criticism or wisdom. This inner critic may seem like a reflection of reality, when in actually it is not.
