Real life change for changemakers
You are efficient. A do-er, a thinker. A giver and a problem solver. You are juggling a lot and have high expectations of others but especially yourself. Your goal is connection- better connection at work and in your personal life. Your goal is to improve communication- for it to not be so strained. Your goal […]
Let’s talk about the fine-tuned and lesser discussed parts of making and acting on a plan. Most of the time, everybody knows how to create a plan, but the issue is often execution. In order to create a plan, you need accountability. There are reasons execution becomes difficult that even the best accountability cannot […]
I have had so many exciting opportunities happen in the first two months of 2021! I want to share them with you here. Most importantly though, I want to take a moment and say thank you. Without your support, none of these articles below would be possible. Article on Thrive Global Core awareness is another […]
It starts with the physical. Our body is such a temple, a temple we have learned to dislike, brush off, avoid, talk down to, compare to others bodies, judge and shame. It doesn’t actually start with physical strengthening though…it starts with re-learning how to relax, soften, allow and release. I came to find from working […]
Admittedly, I am a recovering perfectionist and I frantically have sought answers from others often over the years. I have spent a lot of time and money looking outward and not trusting myself to know the next step. Not trusting God or a Divine force bigger than myself…wanting to control, to know the outcome, to […]
I was driving down the road recently when my husband, Curtis, (being the music lover he is) said: “You should think about doing a Best Of list to close out 2020 just like they do the Best Of music lists at the end of the year!” In all honesty, I probably did a knee jerk response […]

![ANGER
If,
one chooses to engage in
the art
of sitting with + holding space for that which angers and enrages you
Cool ass shit starts to happen.
-----
Note 1:
As opposed to the delightful shame game of splattering that energy outward and then beating oneself up over it. Ex: anger imposed onto those we love, random people, the person beside us in line, the entire room, our social media sharing, the environment, the steering wheel of the car, our own bodies by means of excessive exercise/substances/forced physical changes...and so on.
Note 2:
Transmuting anger and deep grief has been a practice that has been enriching to yours truly over here but easily avoided!
So- What DO I mean by "cool ass shit" happens??? Because quite frankly it sounds impossible, weird and time NOT well spent...ya- I used to feel that way too.
Until I kept showing back up with my mentor, therapist, coach, Anna Pittman, and anger kept knocking at my door.
Some personal examples of cool ass shit that happens when you allow anger:
- clarity in a situation finally pulls up instead of feeling stuck.
- i redirect feeling consumed and retelling the story to 25 times to a feeling of empowerment & courage inside of myself and can more easily take action.
- i finally understood what the whole self love movement is all about- when i can make room for all of me, I feel like I belong in my own skin.
- i can have a more effective conversation with someone I love.
- less physical tension in my body such as my left shoulder, abdomen, pelvic floor
- instead of reading an inspirational meme, I transform into the person who EMBODIES that inspirational meme.
- i become more authentic each and every time- with a deeper understanding on what I do and do not prefer, what I believe and do not believe, what I am desiring to make room for in my life and no longer.
All the energetic chains that have bound me and weighed me down start popping off.
It is a feeling of true self love- true freedom.
And from there- loving relationships are deepened, support becomes available, new opportunities arise, pockets of time open up-
It is just cool ass shit!
