My biggest life initiation was navigating a miscarriage while being cheated on in my late twenties. I had no support network around me, no one to call, and I went into the depths of isolation and despair. I remember a pivotal moment when I stopped fighting it and...

When I'm down I tend to withdraw and yet there's such power and medicine in being transparent when we struggle, right? Letting go of the shame and blame, and of feeling that it's our personal shortcomings. Bringing awareness to how impacted we are by the larger...

      Recently I was told by a man that if I only stepped into my power, I could be such a powerful force.     Oh.     So you get to define power and then assess whether or not I am powerful!   Bwhahahaaaaha!    In my past, I have doubted my expressions and sense of...
