Thank Goodness They Cheated On You…Because They Just Did You The Biggest Damn Favor Ever
Finding out your partner cheated on you sucks. It really, really sucks.
It feels like someone threw your heart in a blender, hit purée, and poured it all over a plate of “WTF just happened?”
As much as it hurts now…
They just did you the biggest favor of your life.
Yep, you heard me.
The Power of 3
If you’ve been around personal development, spirituality, hypnosis—or a comedy stage—for more than a hot minute, you’ve probably noticed something…
Three is everywhere.
The Holy Trinity
Maiden, Mother, Crone
Sun, Moon, Earth
Mind, Body, Spirit
Conscious, Subconscious, Superconscious
And of course… Set up, set up… punchline.
The Secret Sauce for Moving Better, Living Brighter, and Feeling Fully Alive: FAMSSS
As I’ve incorporated NIA (holistic movement, see NiaNow.com for more info) into my life this past year, I’ve been able to add a whole new dimension of transformation to my hypnosis practice; the relationship between mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
Being Thankful for the F*cked Up Stuff
A few weeks ago, I read a touching Facebook post from a couple.
Ok so I'm patting (my wife and I) on the back. We got home from vacation and had to deal with a flat tire in airport parking lot.
The Galactic Calendar: Living Beyond Linear Time
While I was at my Nia Blue Belt Training, Winalee Zeeb, the instructor, gave each of us a Galactic Calendar. I loved the artwork on it, but then I started digging into it…wow, just wow! It adds a whole new way of looking at your day.
When Enemies Become Educators: How Your Adversaries Can Be Your Greatest Teachers
In junior high school (the 1980’s equivalent of “middle school”) I had an “adversary” in my chorus class. We both sang, we both played piano, we were friends. We both led our chorus sections (she was a soprano, I was an alto).
What Do I Bring? What Do I Need?
I got back from my NIA Blue Belt Training in Lansing, MI, a few hours ago, and I am "recapitulating" the six days I spent learning the 13 Principles of the Blue Belt, going a bit deeper into my NIA practice.
Leveling Up: Surround Yourself With People Who Have More of What You Want
Ever heard the phrase, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with?” It might sound like a motivational quote you scroll past on Instagram, but if you really take it in, it’s a call to action.
When Social Media Becomes a War Zone: Why Taking a Break Might Save Your Sanity
Let’s be honest: social media was never just about baby pics and brunch shots.
But lately? It’s feeling more like an emotional demolition derby than a place to connect.
It’s Okay Not to Fit In – Why Standing Out Might Be the Truest Thing You Ever Do
For most of my life and maybe for most of yours. I’ve had the unique ability to not fit in, no matter how badly I wanted to.
Take yourself back to 1982, when text messages were called “notes.” They were written with paper and pen, folded with origami-level skill, and hand-delivered across cafeterias and classrooms with super spy precision.
“Why You’re Stuck, and What You Can’t Do About It.”
If you're a chronic overthinker with a Ph.D. in self-awareness, but still can’t seem to get your act together—welcome. You are not alone, and you are not broken.
I'm Unstoppable
I am UNSTOPPABLE! A follow-up to “NIA = Exercise Broccoli”
Back in January, I wrote a blog called NIA = Exercise Broccoli—a love letter to a practice that, like broccoli, might not have always felt like a craving... but was exactly what my body, mind, emotions, and spirit needed.
