  • In this week’s lookback episode, I’m sharing a favorite interview with psychic, best selling author, and medium, Paul Selig. Paul joined me in Season 2 to celebrate the release of "The Book of Truth." He talks about what it's like to be a channel for The Guides, and the journey that brought him from professor and playwright to being a spiritual medium. I was especially delighted to have him channel The Guides to see what they have to say about the role of Joy in our lives.⠀I think you’ll love what they had to say.⠀ .⠀⠀ You can listen to the episode on iTunes at https://buff.ly/2GaJubG (link is in my profile, too)⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Thank you @paul.selig for joining me on the show. ⠀⠀ #bookoftruth #spiritualmedium #paulselig #psychic #jumpstartyourjoy#podcast #podcastersofinstagram#podcastoftheday #choosejoy#followyourbliss
  • Ever have an idea of the cute photo you were gonna take in some perfectly manicured gardens with your kiddo... and then be totally delighted when your 4 year old niece captured magic and joy in a photo that you never could have “art directed”? Yeah. That. I’m treasuring that whole magical situation right now. 👍🏼 #boymom #easterphotoshoot #familylife #joy #momentsofmine #sillyboy #filoligardens #filoli #controlisanillusion #choosejoy #ichoosejoy #jumpstartyourjoy #photoshootideas
  • I desire slowness, I desire the ability to take a nap on a weekend without feeling a wave of self induced guilt, I desire the space that means I remember that on Monday mornings I help out in my son’s class. But, why do I fight it?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ In episode 102 I said something about “savor the slowness,” and my husband, who is on my email list (bless him), texted me 30 minutes after getting that email and said “I want to savor slowness. How do we do that?”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Tune in this week as I talk about prioritizing self care in your life.

  • My own transformation came when I couldn’t find two shoes that match in the closet, ever, let alone plan a shower every morning (which is my preference, over showering in the evening). I finally got tired of my own bullshit the day that my son got a tardy slip because I didn’t plan in enough buffer in the morning. At that point, I couldn’t hide from the truth anymore; my non-prioritizing was impacting our day to day, and I couldn’t brush it aside. And the thing I had to admit was that it was my own issues around getting up earlier that was causing the problem. I had a whole story built up in my head that I couldn't get up earlier, because then I would have to get to bed earlier, and I wouldn't have time to work on my posts and podcast.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What to hear more about prioritizing self care? I'm talking about it on the podcast this week, and you can catch it at the link in my profile or at buff.ly/2sSrw7O⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #slowdown #selfcarewarrior#takecareofyourself #essentialism#maketimeforyourself #lifeisbusy#workingmom #metime #podcaster#podcastersofinstagram#savorthejourney #prioritiesfirst

  • This week on the podcast I'm sharing about why you need to make self care a priority and what's holding you back from doing that. Because let's be honest, real life is hard and if you're like me, it's a rare occasion to get your hair cut or floss your teeth, let alone find the time to take a nap on a weekend.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ You can listen in at the link in my profile or subscribe at https://buff.ly/2GaJubG⠀ ⠀⠀ #selfcarewarrior #takecareofyourself#essentialism #maketimeforyourself#lifeisbusy #workingmom #metime#podcaster #podcastersofinstagram ⠀
  • Today was a bit of a thing to begin with. And then after getting to see my friend @christytending who is truly a gem and always reminds me of who I am ... My heart pointed me here. What had started as a “face down in the arena” 8am felt distinctly more “rising strong” after I walked this labyrinth, sat in this sacred space and put my thoughts toward a pretty angel resting in the center. Thank you to sweet friends and people who love me and to places and people who can remind me of who I am #labyrinth #sandamianoretreatcenter #risingstrong #walkalabyrinth #californiapoppy #spring #spirituality
  • You know you want to do the things that would make you feel better, more rested, and better focused.⠀⠀ But, the reality is that if you work and have kids and maybe have, oh, other stuff going on, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and let those things you know you need to do slide.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The thing that strikes me as I look at self care, or, just the simple acts of taking care of myself, is that as a life coach and someone who talks about joy regularly, it would seem that I "should" have self care figured out. I know slowing down would help my day to day life feel easier.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This week on the podcast, I'm sharing all about why you need to prioritize your self care, and what's holding you back from doing so.
