What if we didn’t expend so much energy being in “protection mode”? What would that free up?
Tell me everything. How’s your heart? What can I do to help? What’s good for us? These 4 VERY SIMPLE, VERY DIRECT QUESTIONS will nourish every kind of relationship.
The practice of simplifying has consumed me in the best way possible. I’ve simplified every area of my life. It’s become a magnetic pull in my cells.
Keeping it “positive” does not preclude having strong opinions… Opinions used for uplifting humanity are sacred.
Real growth comes from internal inspiration, not external motivation.

I want to go deep into this conversation about creating Fulfilling Friendships. I've got lots to say about engaged listening, self respect, breaking up (when necessary), and celebrating our friend-loves. I’ve also got plenty of opinions and practices for self-compassion, deep spiritual devotion, healthier relationships with our damn phones, and better quality sleep.
This question comes from Michael B: What do you do when you are in a transitional season in life and feel like you have nothing to offer? Let me ask you this back, Michael: What if “having nothing to offer” isn’t a problem at all? Our culture confuses productivity-output-achievement with self-worth. I grew up on a farm. There are seasons where the land is left to go fallow. The soil is left unseeded so that it can regenerate. An uninformed person might ask, “Why aren’t you utilizing that field, making a profit?” Because it’s not always t[...]
There are legit times when you can’t say what you want to say. When you can’t safely/bravely express yourself in this material realm, then use an esoteric channel—speak to the other person’s Higher Self. Occasions that you legit can’t say what you want to say… but you still want to express your truthWhen your body knows that it’s not yet the right time for the conversation. (The body knows before the mind does.) Speaking your truth isn’t always about pushing through the resistance. Sometimes honoring those moments when you’re not fully ready[...]
I’ve gotten in the habit of creating a “What I Trust” list before a big gig or opportunity, or when any situation feels a bit wobbly. Often we’re fixated on firing up endorphins (and there are times I do that), that we forget that feeling assured and comforted is where the real power is. Calm and centered is magnetic. “The “What I Trust” list is for focus and soothing your nervous system.” Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, we root into what we viscerally know we can rely on. So… what do you trust? Fo[...]
Intentional Creators (and not-so intentional creators…), It’s too late in the day, and too hot, too crowded, and a little too painful on this planet, to be focused solely on personal attainment. Manifestation is a technology, and like all technologies, I pray that we use it to generate more loving realities for ourselves and for each other. You can still go for the money, and the dream home, and the love of your life. You get to want what you want. Always. I’m saying: want all of those things, AND include other people’s happiness in that vision. Pra[...]
