Carolyn Flynn, TEDx Talk
I want to share this TEDx talk with you.
Carolyn Flynn is a beautiful person whom I am lucky enough to insightfully visit with regularly. She spoke at the Albuquerque, NM portion of the global TEDWomen community in May of 2015, about using the power of your narrative to create your life path.
It’s amazing wisdom. Plus, it’s got Star Wars references.
Tell a better story, live a better life.
Here’s how I’ve been inspired by this video:
Lately I’ve been extra-busy. Like, triple-extra busy. (I’ll bet this resonates with you.)
The old story is that I am temporarily overwhelmed, I have a lot going on at the moment, things will slow down hopefully soon, and I need to just embrace the chaos.
Here’s my new story. I have an abundance of…abundance!
My life is better already. ❤
How can you retell your story, and create a better now? Please share in the comments below–your insights help us all.
3 Mistakes That Block Your Success
Posted on June 12, 2016 Leave a Comment
Over the years I’ve witnessed countless people in my community–both physical and online–gain the confidence to live their purpose.
People from all walks of life hear the call to bring spiritual principles into their lives and work.
You may be thinking, “That’s great and all … but how can I earn a living as a spiritual teacher?!” Or maybe you’re slammed with another common limiting thought: “It’s not spiritual to charge for my work.”
My friend, New York Times best-selling author Gabrielle Bernstein, busts those myths in this new free training video! In it, she teaches the 3 most common mistakes that block you from earning for your great work and how to fix them.

How to Connect to Your Purpose
Posted on June 9, 2016 Leave a Comment
If you’ve been following my work it’s likely you’re on a path of personal growth and development.
When you tap into this type of inner transformation you often hear the call to share the great messages you’ve learned. You’re called to lead and serve others, inspire your friends and connect to a greater purpose.
The call is loud — but the voice of doubt is often even louder. The nasty voice of fear holds you back, saying, “Who am I to do this? What do I have to offer?”
My response is: Who are you NOT to do this?
I learned this lesson from my friend and teacher, New York Times best-selling author Gabrielle Bernstein. Gabby has been in the field of personal growth for over a decade, and she’s committed to guiding us through whatever blocks us from living our life’s purpose and sharing it with the world.
To do that, she’s rolling out 3 free videos that will help clear the blocks to your confidence and provide direction you can act on right now.
There are a few common issues that hold us back from truly stepping into our power, and Gabby tackles them in these free videos.
In this first free video training, she takes on issue #1: confidence! Gabby teaches you how to gain the confidence to rise up, live your purpose and own your voice.
She shares her personal story of how she became a speaker, author and public figure with zero background. She also divulges the 3 steps that helped her embrace her power and become a leader.
In turn, you’ll gain the confidence to share your transformational message in your own way.

- The 3 most important steps to taking action on your dream
- How to overcome doubt and uncertainty
- The #1 way to feel connected to your purpose
Watch this video and you’ll immediately feel more confident! True story.

A Handy Tool for Navigating Change
Posted on June 8, 2016 Leave a Comment
The fallout is happiness.
Here’s a soul-saving response for when you’re asked how your new endeavor is going.
“It’s working.” (Insert genuine smile here. 🙂 )
You know what situation I mean. You’ve made a change in your life that is deeply personal, has a significant impact on you, and is kinda scary. What form the actual change takes is not the point–the fact that it is a deep change for you is what matters.
Maybe it’s a decision to alter your eating habits. Or begin a meditation practice. Or switch careers. Or write a book.
Or perhaps it’s a change you didn’t choose, but rather one that chose you. Like becoming a grandfather by your teenage daughter’s pregnancy. Or navigating with your aging parent. Becoming widowed.
At some point you’ll run into people who ask you how you’re doing. And whether they ask out of genuine concern for you or out of their own free version of reality drama, your personal process is at stake with what you say next.
Because your response is the story that it will become. The words you use to describe your feeling for that moment become the stone tablets that others revere as unchanging gospel. And that’s the story they share with others. Widely.
So, how is your story going?
I’ll bet it’s working!
Terminally optimistic
A super tool for your belt. Gimmick-free.
Party on.
There’s no dark side to a positive attitude.
A handy multi-tool, King Prawn style.
You Are Worth This.
Posted on June 1, 2016 3 Comments
Getting sidetracked by tasks today was an unexpected gift.
I found buried treasure in my email. And it’s so great, I must share it.
This is for anyone who has ever desired anything. This is for those who have made their requests, as well as for those who have not spoken.
And, this is for anyone who has ever been told they ask for too much.
For the original formatted version, written by Kate Northrup, please go to her site right now at http://katenorthrup.com/hold-out/. It’s beautiful.
You are worth this.
And no, you are not asking for too much.
Hold out.
Hold out
…for the one you’ve been waiting for.
…for the guy who treats you like the gold that you are.
…for the idea that visits you in your dreams and you can’t wait to get cracking on every day.
…for the house that feels like it was built for you.
…for the friends who feel like sisters.
…for the solution that’s even better than anything you could have dreamed up.
You are not only worthy of what you want, you can have it. {Tweet It!}
Here’s the rub: you have to stop settling for crumbs in order to get the whole cake.
Letting the sub-par take up valuable real estate in your life edges out the good stuff that’s waiting for you.
You gotta let go of what’s not working in order to get what you want.
But there’s this uncomfortable pause between when you let go of what’s not working and when your highest good shows up.
And sometimes that uncomfortable pause is more like 10-15 years (or more) than a few days.
And yet still, hold out.
It’s not that you won’t live your life in the meantime. It’s not that time stands still until you get what you’ve been longing for.
No. You’ll live, full out, in fact. You’ll have the time of your life.
Holding out doesn’t mean standing still, and it doesn’t mean holding back.
It doesn’t mean waiting inside your house, twiddling your thumbs, expecting your desires to land on your doorstep without your getting out there and calling them in.
Instead, it means knowing what you want and knowing that you deserve it.
It means having a hell of a lot of fun whilst not settling.
It means kissing frogs and signing up for stuff that really wasn’t that great in the end.
It means bumbling around figuring out what it is that you even want through trying out a lot of things that you don’t.
Yet, all the while, you know that yours is coming.
The wait will always be worth it.
So hold out.
