In honor of Libra season, I thought I'd share a brain hack for leaders. I know you've heard the rumors... Libras can't make a decision. It's true. For me, anyways. I often find myself in roles where I need to be able to make a decision that is in the best interest of many. Weighing the scales and finding the balance can get me into a tailspin if I don't have a method to the madness. When I spent time studying as a birth worker, I learned the BRAIN acronym and it dramatical

The Wheel of the Woman Around the World When we talk about seasonal living, we often speak of temperate climates where the year clearly moves from spring to summer, autumn to winter. We follow sunlight, harvest cycles, and weather changes to guide our energy, movement, meals, and rituals. But what about women living at the edges of the earth , where the sun can linger for months, or beneath the equator , where it hovers high and steady, or in lands where the seasons unfold op

From a Traditional Women’s Wellness Perspective The Herstory During the Industrial Revolution, women were making way in the workforce, increasingly gaining employment in factories and mills. They worked long hours in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, and were often paid far less than men for doing the same work. There was little to no legal protection or recourse if they were mistreated by their employers.* The ‘Labor Day’ tradition was established as a day to celebrate th

“Mary Magdalene is the embodiment of a love that reaches where it never has before." Easter: Love Embodied Magdalene is most associated with Easter, with the resurrection, because she was the one there at the tomb, the one who waited in the dark, past his death and absence. She was the one he resurrected to. She was the first to see him, and she only recognized it was him when he called her by name. It’s significant to realize that she didn't just happen to be there, in the r

( Watch her fascinating reel here. ) Inanna , the goddess of love and war in Sumerian mythology, undergoes a descent into the underworld, facing trials and challenges before emerging stronger and wiser.  Barbie , the modern-day stereotypical role model, embarks on adventures where she lea

Posted In Honor of International Women's Day An excerpt from The Wheel of the Woman : "Sperm meets egg. XX. Marked a girl; determined by man . Made to be a woman from the moment of conception. Designed to be placed inside the belly of the one who came before.

Today is Imbolc- the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. We celebrate the light returning and creative (or fertile) energies reawakening. Imbolc translates roughly to ‘in the belly’ or ‘ ewe’s milk’. The Earth is pregnant with new life. It’s a time that represents hope as the winter begins to fade. This day is marked with a festival celebrating Brigid, the Triple Goddess, as she represents the movement from maiden to mother to crone and back ag

A friend sent me a text, “How is chaos associated with the feminine nature?” My first response was, “It IS the feminine nature!” She wanted more though… a deeper explanation. So many thoughts and old conversations came racing through my mind. I told her to wait, and I would formulate a real answer. I have studied the properties of masculinity & femininity- yin & yang, in many different ways, from many different teachers. John Wineland, embodiment and intimacy coach, laid out
