What It Means to Love Your Darkness & Why Your Success Depends On It

I’m inflexible and rigid. An emotional roller coaster. I talk way more than I listen to the ones closest to me. I forget things easily. I can be so focused on what’s going on in my head that I completely miss whole parts of a conversation with Jon. I don’t have sustainable energy. I’m typically late for anything that requires my physical presence. And you know what? I love all of it. I love all of me. But it hasn’t always been like this. There’s a monstrous epidemic in our culture where we have become obsessed with our personal shortcomings; with all of the things we don’t like about ourselves....

What a Lack of Motivation Really Means & What to Do About It

Create, Reinvent

It rained in Massachusetts for a month. Every day was cloudy, cold, and bleak. Winter was clinging desperately, digging its heels into the fresh soil of Spring. While it would have been easy to blame my lack of motivation on Winter’s inability to surrender, I knew deep down that my energetic rut wasn’t about the weather, but rather—it was the same old pattern coming back for more. The pattern you think you’ve healed, only to have it show up on your doorstep wrapped in different paper. For a good majority of my life, I’ve struggled with cycling through energetic highs and lows. The highs are always great. Who doesn’t love...

Three whole days—lost to the illusion that one can be “on” while simultaneously turning “off.” Tulum, with all of its beauty and magic, taught me how to relax again. And I’m not talking about the kind where you kid yourself by having one foot in and one foot out—I’m talking FULL ON RELAXATION. The kind where you melt into one of the canvas beds propped...

Create

As I look out onto the forest before me, a thin mist hangs in the air and lichen clings to the damp, dark trees—their tiny branches like veins pressed against the gray sky. Raw, cold, and wet, the weather today feels cleansing. Like it’s washing away any stale, lingering heaviness from the last week of 2016 and inviting in its place, a new year with new desires to manifest. Have you taken time to set new intentions & goals for 2017? Are you feeling overwhelmed, but also excited by the possibilities? Are you up for the challenge of expansion? With each new year comes the strong desire to be better,...

The Art of Receptivity: How to Do Less While Inviting in More Success

Create, Reinvent

“Life is a dance between making it happen & letting it happen.” – Arianna Huffington The sun is bright. The sky is pale blue and cloudless. I’m tapping away at my laptop keys outside of a local Starbucks, completely grounded and filled to the brim with an appreciative awe. If I look around at my life, everything I’ve been dreaming of is taking physical form. I’ve risen it from the ground, like Queen Elsa and her magnificent castle of ice. I feel the power in my finger tips. And I’m leaning into this power more than I ever have before, without driving myself into the ground; without working myself to...

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn If you’re ready to take the leap towards your biggest dreams and desires or maybe you’re just ready to manifest more success in pursuit of them—you need to take stock of what & who you’re surrounding yourself with. Is your environment conducive to the direction you want to go? Are your relationships supportive? Do you have access to people who are where you want to be? Community is crucial. If you want to rise, you have to surround yourself with people who also want to rise + have already risen. Why? Like Jim...
