Self Sabotage Is A Bitch

Allow me to set the scene: I’m talking to a client who has recently broken up with an amazing guy who worshiped the ground she floated over. “Why did you walk away from him?” “I don’t know, ” she said mystified and withdrawn. “Could it be because you were afraid of having what you wanted?”  I offered. Lightbulb.  Yes, that’s it. Self...

It Doesn’t Feel Right (+ why you shouldn’t)

“It doesn’t feel right.” Hold up. Pause right there. Even if it doesn’t feel like it: this is a significant place to be. Powerful even.  Definitely worth noting. Yet we steamroll through these feelings as if they were inconsequential. Or inconvenient even. We think we don’t have time for something to “not feel right.” The job needs to get done; the task...

Damn, You’re Hot

I met a girlfriend for an early morning cup of coffee + conversation in West Hollywood recently. I have a handful of favorite spots that I can count on to make a sharp, bitter espresso. I arrived a few minutes early (which rarely happens) and ordered a pot of coffee while I waited for her to join me. Minutes later she came scurrying in, wide smile, long brown hair tied back and clad in athletic...

Find Your Soul. Find Your Success.

  You sense inside an unborn, second self.  An un-lived version of you. You feel compelled. Inspired. Pulled in the direction of a passion project. You read about it.  Daydream about it.  Fall asleep + wake to it. It lives in your gut, your heart, your consciousness. Sometimes you even think you could actually pull it off.  But you’re entrenched in mental tug of war between...

The Only 3 Questions That Matter

We’re distracted. Overbooked. Disconnected. Too tired try. Too “damaged” to open up. Too absorbed with getting moremoremore to bother giving. We tell ourselves “I’ll get to it later.” It sounds like this: One day, I’ll  book that trip, begin that exercise program, leave my 9-5 + launch my own business. I’ll start dancing, writing, singing, painting….again. One day, I’ll...

This Is For Your Benefit (practical notes on perception)

Perception is driven by choice. What do you want see?  The choice is up to you. And on this choice depends your solidarity, sense of contentment + “ok-ness” with life. The world we see is an outside picture of an inward condition. What we see every day is our state of mind projected onto the landscape of daily life. If you choose to allow anxiety, anger + hopelessness to find a regular...
