My chronic illness is my best friend.

It has been there all along, waiting in the background. Signaling me. It signals me when I need rest. It signals me when I need compassion and love.

It reminds me gently, and then more firmly, when I make choices that don’t support my Highest Good. So I can choose again.

The best friendships are the ones that offer a good combination of compassion and a kick in the ass. My illness gives me a nice kick in the ass with the purpose of compassion.

1. Set the number of clients per day based on what feels best vs filling as much as you can.

✨Your energy will be depleted before you can even see it happening.

This arises from a scarcity mindset because you think you won’t have enough success with fewer clients.

2. Set your breaks for a minimum of 30 minutes between each client: 15m to wrap up administrative tasks for the client and 15m to do whatever you need to replenish/nourish.

The year leading up to it was filled with more personal development than I was sometimes ready for, all culminating in a month and a half of full-on crisis mode. My therapist’s offer would give me t...

I used to say I was just an anxious person and always would be. “It’s just part of my DNA. It’s just who I am.” This statement was made from a place of limited awareness. I did not yet know what opportunity was available to shift this once and for all.

I was in therapy on and off my whole life, read a bunch of self-help books, educated myself on the outside-of-the-box options, tried medication, and was still managing my anxiety on a day-to-day basis.

Enter The Akashic Records. I started with T...

This is one of the most common complaints I have heard as a therapist of almost 20 years.

There are 3 things you need to consider when thinking about why you may not feel heard:

1. Why do you need people to listen to you???

This desire comes from a core need to feel validated or a sense of belonging. When you ignore this need and don’t validate yourself, your brain scans for an outside resource to do this for you. You become dependent and desperate for validation from other people, thus givi...
