How To Recover From Feeling Alone
“I feel so alone,” a friend of mine said. “I’m cutting myself off from my partner and other people. I’m trying to sell this business and don’t know what I’m going to do with myself after. My family is wanting things from me, but they never ask or seem to care about what’s going on […]

Experiencing Turbulence While Rising to a Higher Frequency
In the field of quantum physics, they have a term they use when the energy is changing from one level of frequency to a higher level. It’s called turbulence. I love this term. It’s the exact same experience the birds have as they rise to the next airstream. They must experience some resistance as they […]

You’re Not Going Crazy, You’re Being Healed

How to Overcome and Heal Depression
Depression can be a four letter words these days. In a world where positivity, intention, and manifestation are seen as the gateway to heaven, depression appears as the grim reaper, ready to take us down. No one wants to admit they’re depressed.

How To Hold Sadness as Part of Your Awakening
In the land of Facebook where, for the most part, everything is seen as “light, happy, and all is well in the world”, admitting any kind of sadness or depression feels like failure. So instead, we mask it, deny it, push it away, or pull ourselves up from our bootstraps, and move on. […]

Letting Love, Love You
The holidays can be a time we feel more lighthearted and forgiving. We listen to carols, buy gifts for others, and look forward to colorful festivities. Ever wonder why? It’s not that anything on the outside has changed, but our insides have changed immensely because we made a decision. In every moment, you can […]
