I didn't learn about grief soon enough because it was my parent's responsibility to teach me. In the same way, they didn't teach me about financial literacy, buying a house, or how to date. My parents didn't prepare me to be without them because they were too busy in their versions of survival mode.
Read MoreThe thing about these type of white women is that they have no concept of true empathy. They spend a lot of time being complicit in voting, and spending the generational wealth that they have been afforded, that they have elevated themselves beyond a place where they truly have to be introspective, genuinely thoughtful, or can actually connect with even the concept of being permanently disadvantaged.
Read MoreFrequently I observe confrontation as a difficult task for those I meet on the journey. In intuitive coaching, the mission is to aid those ready to confront themselves through the spiritual messages. As a person in resistance, the natural inclination is to resist both the vessel and the message and bring the conflict to that which confronts them.
Read MoreMy first spiritual retreat existed in my mind before I had my first client. Of course, you could say that retreats were always the goal. But, you can't host an empty spiritual retreat and call it a success, so I had to create a pathway for my dream, but I also needed a bit of experience. Back then, I held my breath whenever someone booked a psychic session.
Read MoreIt’s been 20 years since the attacks on the twin towers, and the perception of Muslims has changed very little. While we are seemingly and very outwardly making empathy and healing our top priority now, how are we as a collective still unwilling to shift our perspective of our Muslim neighbors entirely?
Whether you are more financially successful than your parents were at their age has no bearing on how and where your trauma will manifest. Becoming more successful faster was most likely the sacrifice in emotional growth that your parents had to make to drive your educational and financial gain. There aren't enough upgrades you can do socially, financially, or in environments that will interrupt any pattern of trauma if there isn't an emotional upgrade within.
The practice is not the hard part. The practice is easier when you have removed the conflict in your beliefs. The difficulty in the work correlates to your ego states being preferable. Spiritual obligations are only a burden for those in a state of resistance, and generally some degree of fear.
Read MoreBoundaries are something you never get to stop talking about when thinking about coaching. I still don't understand why people make boundaries harder than necessary. I always find that those insisting on creating boundaries for others never entirely respect boundaries when they find themselves restricted by boundaries.
If organizational empathy resembled anything decent and acceptable, we wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail for some of our most necessities in the corporate space. Such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, paid maternity/paternity leave, and a slice of a reasonable work-life balance that allowed the human to be the priority. If empathy was legitimized organizationally, would The Great Resignation even be a thing?
Sometimes we get caught up in believing the strength we have acquired by enduring issue after issue is what defines us. But it's not. The soul is not easily defined because it is ever-changing, constantly learning and growing with each lesson. So there could not be a single instance or a single circumstance to serve as a defining moment for your soul.
Read MoreMy pain has made me clear. My trauma and grief have set me free. But only because I was willing to embrace the lesson that only can come in emotional introspection of the past and our present emotional state. I am not afraid of what comes now in this after, because I have unpacked my before. I’m not yet unburdened of my saddens and I may never be.
Mothering is a bigger job than we all expect it to be. All we know about it is that most of us grew up with a mother, and I believe that we begin as young adults gauging our readiness for motherhood based on how prepared we believed our mothers to be upon initiation. And, I think that is where we falter.
Read MoreAlmost every professional I am working with feels misunderstood in their work environment. It doesn't seem to matter what their workplace provides to overcome the disconnection between corporate culture and the millennial age, from mindfulness practitioners, access to therapy to virtual yoga classes, or affinity groups specifically for those of color. And, sitting in a therapist's office via Zoom these days rarely addresses the work-life imbalance. Today's millennials are seeking spiritual guidance.
Fear is always at the center of everything with most people. Whatever is going wrong in your life, there is fear. Whatever level they wish you to compete at professionally, fear exists. Even when it comes to relationships, fear exists somewhere in the situation if you are not happy.
At some point, we have to stop and ask ourselves, “how does looking outside of ourselves heal the inside?We often look to these external actions like guidance, bodywork, talk therapy, and energy work as the definition of growth rather than an access point. However, any external practice is only as successful as it produces a change in your mindset, not just your actions. So, for example, if you show up slimmer or more relaxed with the same pattern of thought that kept you stuck, your energy is unchanged.
Their awareness of their child’s vibration creates a mirror for their actions. If enlightenment becomes a reality, it is because the mother took action and allowed their child to be a conduit for creating new emotional awareness and improving the soul pattern of the lineage. All empathic mothers have a better chance at disrupting severely traumatized lineages based on their awareness of the emotional impact.
In this season, the moon allows you to hone in on the changes that you need internally. This season is critical because you will likely see the changes you haven’t made create chaos in your outer world. The difference you need to see in your life will be obvious and pretty significant if you hope to balance things and get on the road to feeling good and abundant.
Honestly, most boundary-setting conversations start poorly, which is why the result is disconnection. The outcome of a boundary conversation should always be a deeper connection to who you are by expressing what feels most aligned for you. Instead, we often began difficult discussions as if it is our one chance to show up authentically.
Read MoreGrowth is not what you think it is. When people think about change, they always think of the outcome of desire, a place beyond the inevitable struggle that makes growth available. Everyone loves to hate Mercury Retrograde for apparent reasons. People that don't even follow astrology know and understand the dangers of the planet Mercury slowing down.
Read MoreWe must recognize how the previous lessons that we either refused to accept or where oblivious to see create the reality of love we currently exist in. I would venture to say that the true key to manifesting love, is having a keen awareness of the maturity it takes to accept another soul being intertwined with yours. It should be lost on no one that love is called a “union of two souls”.
