At the start of a new year, most people reflect on the past year and think about what they want to change going forward. This often leads to self-criticism, frustration, or feeling discouraged about what didn’t happen or where they fell short.

And frustration and disappointment are not a great jumping-off point for creating a new vision for the coming year. Despite our programming, being self-critical doesn’t create change.

So this year, I’m offering a different approach. Instead of focusing on what didn’t go the way you wanted, it’s better to focus on the times in the last year when you felt really good about life or yourself.

Identifying past moments where you felt proud, aligned, or energized can then be reverse engineered (what did I do to get there?) to create a clear path to more of that energy in the coming months.

Identifying and focusing on those moments builds a bridge between what went well in the last year and how to get more of that as you move into the new year.

Hit play if you’re ready to connect with the energy that will truly help you get your vibe right in 2026!

This episode came to me in the quiet hours of the morning, the kind of 3:30 a.m. wake up that feels less like insomnia and more like an invitation to listen. A voice in my head guided me to explore a pattern many of us (including me) don’t realize we’re stuck in, letting our preconceived ideas create our future. Something that traps us in a loop of recreating the same version of ourselves and others over and over again, without allowing for change.

If we see ourselves and others as fundamentally flawed, then they (and we) can never be anything but that. Our perception informs the field of potential, and we hold on so tightly to the way we think the world is that we don’t allow it to be any other way.

This “divine download” taught me that each moment offers us the opportunity to let go of old perceptions and tell a new story, to allow what is to simply be, without judgment or prediction. Once we embrace the idea that each moment gives us the chance to create a new version of ourselves, we can begin informing the field, through our thoughts and self concept, how we want the future to unfold.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated about not being able to change something, or someone, in your life, this episode goes deep into why that happens and what actually allows change to occur.

The holidays have a way of stirring up old programming, unresolved hurt, family dynamics, grief, guilt, and every assumption you’ve ever made about what other people think about you. And without even realizing it, you’re pulled out of the moment, and instead you’re living inside a painful narrative that's running your life.

We get stuck in our heads, especially around the holidays — replaying old hurts, assuming the worst, feeling obligated, or carrying guilt. And those thoughts quietly hijack your entire emotional experience, making you feel heavy, resentful, anxious, or numb when what you really want is to feel joyful, present and connected.

In this episode, I'm sharing how Byron Katie’s “The Work” can help you catch negative thoughts before they drag you into frustration, resentment, or self-righteousness. This is a process that will uncouple you from painful thoughts and allow you to move forward free of the pain of the past.

This one is for you if you’re ready to feel lighter, calmer, and more present — and to step into the new year without the beliefs that have been dimming your light.

It's time to take a hard look at where your'e overextending...you know, the relationships where you put more life force in than you get back, the projects that require you to "grind" 24/7, and the soul-sucking areas of your life that aren't producing fruit...yeah, that, those places that once mattered, but now feel like they’re costing you more than feeding you.

This episode, was inspired by an old apple tree on my favorite walking trail, a tree that stopped feeding its dead branches so it could pour energy into what was still alive and vibrant, closer to its core.

Just looking at it reminds me that pulling back isn’t quitting. It’s wisdom. It’s evolution. And it’s choosing to redirect your life force toward what actually supports you.

If you’re wrestling with whether it’s time to let someone or something go… if you’re trying to figure out where your energy is being wasted and where it’s ready to flourish… come with me on a Sunday stroll by the Kootenai River. Let’s work the “worth-it equation” together and get a clear picture of what deserves your energy and where its better to pull back.

Your attention is your most valuable currency. Where you "pay attention" determines what your life looks like. If you've been wanting growth and change but find yourself in the same place year after year. It's because your creation currency (your attention, focus, imagination) is being scattered or drained by distractions, comparison, and the drift of daily life.

In this episode, we'll talk about how to start redirecting your attention back to the life you want to create. Through a simple daily practice that is guaranteed to change your life (if you just stick with it).

If you want to feel different in a year, if you want to actually see the change you’ve been craving, this is where you start. By consistently spending your creation currency on YOU rather than on distraction or comparison.

Hit play if you want to stop “trying to fix what’s wrong” and instead learn how to align with the version of you that already has what you desire.

This episode is your official permission slip to let it all go—for just one day.

Whatever’s been weighing on you—worry, anxiety, hurt, or that same negative loop you keep replaying—it’s time to set it down. Just for 24 hours. Give yourself space to reset and remember what it feels like to be fully here, fully now.

Because when you release the emotional pressure valve, even temporarily, everything shifts. Your nervous system softens, your perspective clears, and your energy lightens.

And no, this isn’t about denying reality—it’s about giving yourself the freedom to feel lighter, more open, and more available to possibility. So when tomorrow comes, you meet life with a new kind of energy.

This is your invitation to disrupt the pattern. Take one day to let go, and watch how the Universe rises to meet you in a new vibration.

Ever feel like a you're in a supporting role in your own life instead of the main character? Yeah, me too! And...ugh! I'm over it!

Most of my life I found myself putting others first, playing behind-the-scenes roles, or downplaying my dreams, as I secretly longed to embody the version of myself who steps forward and takes the lead.

For far too long, I've cast myself the supporting role of your my own story. But now I'm ready to step into my main character energy. Maybe you are too?

But what I've realized is, I can't become her, if I don't know her.

So I developed a scripting process to help me define and visualize myself as the version of me who calls the shots, feels fully in charge of her life, and finally steps into the spot light.

And, I wanted to share this process with you, because you deserve to be the star of your own story too.

You’re committed to growth and change, but there's a part of you that keeps choosing comfort or avoidance....a little voice inside that keeps talking you out of taking action. Yeah, that's your inner enabler.

There's also that part of you that may be enabling someone you love, not in a good way, to get your own needs met. (Cringe!) Yep, we've all done it...Inner enabler...

In this episode, I'm going to talk about why we do this (there are 3 main reasons) and how to recognize when you've gone to the dark side of support and started enabling rather than supporting.

Some call it self-sabotage, but I see it as self-enabling — and I’m sharing a simple 15-minute process to help you understand why you do this and how to stop it for good.
