Take a Risk Nobody owns the truth. Why are we so quick to give our truth away when someone disagrees with us or doesn't give us the encouragement that we expected? If you believe in your dreams, isn't it worth taking the risk of bringing them to life? Your life is worth the risk. Lving your truth is your heritage. It is your birthright, a right that is not ...

Stela Murrizi: “…. she walks with you into the fire…
...making damn sure you don’t turn away from what’s been buried beneath the surface for far too long. I have done a lot of deep inner work, but nothing—nothing—has ever cracked me open quite like Decloaking with Stela. This wasn’t just another coaching session, self-help program, or course—it was a soul-level activation. From the moment I started ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Manifesto for Meaningful Moments
Over my many years in the program room with women, I have often said: If you don’t like the conversation you’re in, change it! Become more adept at hijacking the conversation and taking it where you want it/need it to go. The polite alternative is to leave it and, in doing so, make no difference. The deadly alternative is to numb yourself and stay in a ... Continue Reading >>
Getting Through the Bullshit
If I may be so bold…. It’s tough, these days, to get through the bullshit.. and there is plenty of it to go around. Years of it! Piled higher and deeper, as we lurch from one cultural/social/ shock to the next…. wondering… WTF?!? I have no idea what the alternatives are for you. No idea what you think is true/real/etc or not. Not a clue whether ... Continue Reading >>

Evolution by Intention: From Chaos to Emergence
Given the world that was presenting, in June of 2023 I felt drawn to launch a monthly conversation to explore the elements of a world in turmoil; and its consequences for living our own meaningful and resourceful lives. From a shared interest in that intention, 'Navigating Chaos’ took root. Once a month for four hours, a small group of women deeply ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: Discovering your adaptation strategy
In eight quick questions, Stela has created a fun and meaningful quiz to help you discover which adaptation strategy you have picked up from growing up! As she has shared: "A word of caution -- answer the questions intuitively and honestly. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer in the process of self-discovery! The point is to simply find out which ... Continue Reading >>
Biodigital Convergence: The future is already here….
Being informed - both from external references as well as inner cues - is a critical aspect of making intelligent choices. If we want to live an informed life - a life that allows for meaning, resourcefulness and resilience - then, we do not have the luxury (or folly) of a life lived in and from willful ignorance. As uncomfortable as it may be to face into ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi & Randi White: Finding the Willingness to Live
I both enjoy and find meaning in these explorations that Stela shapes, in conversation with her clients. Beyond the insights and the provocations, to have access to a window into the Soul of another is a rare and precious gift. Stela offers us the gift of an authentic exploration and Randi offers us the opportunity to travel with her as she finds her way ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Finding Your Voice
In my close-to 30 years of working with women, far fewer women actually don’t know what they want than there are women who know… and just won’t tell. That’s a tough one: when you think that others don’t want you to have what you want or that others would turn away from you if they really knew the truth of who you are. And yet, in all those years of working ... Continue Reading >>

Whispers from Within: Day 4
Good morning! As I settle comfortably at the keyboard… first coffee of the day gratefully within easy reach… I am mindful of the sounds of a new day beginning, as they stream through the open window behind me. The light of dawn and dusk hold a special promise. Light softened yet still allowing for all to be seen, there is a peace as the harsh light of day ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 3
Good morning, All! The dawning of Day 3 and already, it feels as if we have been here for weeks! Clearly, I am in the right place, at the right time and with the right people. With every thought you share, my own expand. The awakening of internal cues is palpable. As I read, I am aware of the great courage that it takes to dive so quickly into the ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 2
Good morning! An earlier start to my day, today, as I am off to Carleton U for a lecture series on astronomy. Yup, not much to do with anything I usually do, and I’m loving it! What great joy to read your insights about yourself, revealed and shared! I have long known - for myself and in my life - that in the choice between willing and able, willing is ...

Women’s Retreat with Louise: Nov. 22, 23 & 24, 2016
It’s that time of year, again! With the rapid approach of Fall, my thoughts turn to the annual Emerging Futures retreat for women; at the Fairmont Chateau Montebello. The Sharp Edge of Your Own Evolution: Contouring the Curve of Creation November 22, 23 & 24, 2016 Such an odd way to define this event! How do we make sense of recognizing that our own ...

The Seeds of Potential: Living In the Inclusive ‘Or’
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” (Aristotle) From one day to the next, we are pressed into considering so many diverging and often conflicting thoughts. For most of us, what we have been taught to do is to shut out that which neither reflects what we already know nor builds incrementally on ... Continue Reading >>
Timelessness….
Yesterday, was a really lovely day! In my cozy sanctuary, my Ohana gathered to be in the good company of each other. My always-funny, sometimes-outrageous and ever-loving sons; their wisely-chosen and equally-compelling partners; and long-time, close friends gathered for good food, great conversation and side-splitting stories of long-ago mishaps and ...

One of My (Many!) Moments of Truth…
The Women Gathering retreat - at the recent Fairmont Chateau Montebello in November - has left me increasingly curious about my/your/our future. (Stay tuned: Blog post to come re the discovery of a 'Free Fall' exploration and its impact.) Much has stayed with me from that experience, not the least of which is the thought, below: We are rapidly ... Continue Reading >>
When Our Illusions Collapse: Awakened Ownership (Part 3/3)
Through those decades of my own evolution, as well as more than 25 years of working with others, I hold this to be the most challenging and difficult part of this exploration, around our illusions: With ownership, we take hold of mindful and meaningful creation. Without ownership, we cannot let go of the frantic hope that some ‘other’ will create it for ... Continue Reading >>
When Our Illusions Collapse: Ground Zero (Part 2/3)
We can talk about it… ponder it… even anticipate it…. but once we’re in it, our bodies pack a powerful punch in awakening us to a new reality. When our illusions collapse, beyond the internal voices that seek to capture our attention, the effect is most potent in its visceral cues as life as we've known it, begins to fracture and separate; causing the body ...

Space, Movement and Flow: The Next Wave
I’ve known for some time, now, that breathing is good! Not because of the effects of the physical breath on my physical body, but because the very process of breathing graces me with a constant reminder of my own, uninterrupted potential for the next wave of expression. In that, my state of being is infinite; as are my intentions and outcomes, beyond any ... Continue Reading >>
