In a recent exchange with women desperately seeking to create a future of their own choosing, the conversation about intention, attention and boundaries re-inserted itself into the equation for being successful in doing so. I share some of the exchange, below. "Seeking to envision and manifest a future of your own choosing requires… no, not strong ... Continue Reading >>

Anger is the polite voice that rage uses to be acceptable. ... Continue Reading >>
Women: Awake! – Stela Murrizi and Jennifer Hatt
Two of my favourite people! Stela and Jennifer explore the outcome of completing a year-long experience with Stela, intended to awaken the Crone and the power of boundaries in a life well-lived. No small feat - a 12-month commitment takes a powerful intention and deep commitment to not lose one's Self along the way. Great conversation! ... Continue Reading >>
If you are easily offended, don’t read this!
Just keep scrolling... and find a more accommodating place to land. You will not find that here, today. And truth be told, perhaps any other day in the days to come. Things have changed... and so have I. I find myself wondering: What is the point of a personal blog if there is no room for the embrace of an authentic and long-lingering rant? So... just ...

Navigating Chaos: Boundaries – Essential to Quality of Life
During the last Navigating Chaos exploration, we took the deep dive into the challenges associated with both setting and holding to a boundary, particularly in the face of chaos. Think of chaos as the experience of rapid and frequent layers of change, emerging from those expectations in life long-held as stable and predictable. Having and holding to a ... Continue Reading >>
Boundaries
A boundary is not a betrayal of another - it is evidence of your refusal to betray yourself. ... Continue Reading >>
Act now! Starts May 21st: year-long with Stela Murrizi
"The conversations we are in determine the quality of our lives. So stop wasting your life on conversations that are meaningless and unfulfilling. Embrace becoming, instead. BUT … How could you become massive when you keep your conversations small? How could you become mindful when you choose habituated and familiar conversations? How could ... Continue Reading >>
Authenticity as Boundary
Over time and in many ways, the idea of establishing boundaries has been explored. Typically, it is done by way of identifying things to do; behaviours to change; new strategies to put into play that will prevent your being pressed... bullied.. cajoled, shamed or provoked... into choices that are no longer a choice and have become the imperative of another, ...

Intentional Evolution: provocation for a life worth living
So much in today's world seeks to highjack your attention and redirect... away from your own inner rumblings and toward the nails-on-a-chalk-board screech of yet another reason to be afraid; another reason to look outside of yourself for someone (anyone!) to save you; another reason for you to capitulate to your weenie-ness and inability to figure it out for ...

Redefining ourselves
Somewhere between rage, outrage and silence is the opportunity for us to redefine ourselves! ... Continue Reading >>
Without edges, compliance/conformity reign!
Neither I - nor anyone else - will talk you into or out of your commitment to what you believe. That profound and life-altering level of change can only come from within you. What I am doing here is pointing to higher-order intentions that direct it all… most (and I mean most) of which you are oblivious to. Why? Because you’ve been trained to be oblivious to ...

Stela Shakti: Part 2 – Warrior!
"In this type of mind, then, compliance is seen as the golden standard. Compliance to the narrative I have held as true since longer than I can remember. I believe the underlying logic of needing desperately to be right goes something like this: If I am right about my life, then I am good. If I am good, and I do everything right, then I am safe. This type of ... Continue Reading >>
Boundaries… and Beyond! ~ New podcast with Louise
In the midst of many and significant changes in my life, I had the great opportunity to be in an open, expansive and compelling conversation with 'open heart specialist' Deb Ozarko on her 'Unplug!' podcast. My conversations with Deb always lead me into new thoughts and through fields of potential, to that point untapped. In Episode 75 (Boundaries... and ... Continue Reading >>
Revisiting Possibility
Lots going on in my life, these days. Sometimes, I need to be reminded that I am always choosing; that I am always the one making the decisions and setting the boundaries on my world. I get to say 'yes' or 'no'; and I get to declare where I draw the line in the sand of my own being. Maybe you'd welcome that kind of reminder for yourself, in your life, ... Continue Reading >>
