If you're curious about how it works and - knowing that - how you can make a difference in your own life or in your work with others, here's an opportunity to consider that which may well have slipped outside your awareness. Join Stela on Saturday for a one-hour presentation followed by 30 minutes of Q&A and consider: "How else might I choose to live ... Continue Reading >>

Stela Murrizi: Untangling trauma from 0 – 7
As I'm preparing for a conference application on resilience, I chose the topic of "untangling trauma from 0 - 7" to focus on. Why? Because during those ages, we have very little say in what is done TO us. And that is how trauma is normalized and passed on, unconsciously through: * epigenetics * power of modeling * the invisible cultural and familiar ... Continue Reading >>
Urgency: Choosing to Get on With It!
As we were approaching the end of our evening exploration, I shared with a small group of women my deep and vast sense of urgency. It caught me off guard when one of the women spoke to that notion of what I was calling ‘urgency’ in words that referred to ‘panic’ and ‘terror’. It was a great opportunity for me to stop… take a breath… and revisit: just what do ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Keeping it Alive!
It's not enough just to know. You have to choose to LIVE what you know... or your life becomes a constant stream of habituated blah blah blah - and nothing changes. Sometimes, I'm shocked by how much time has passed and how so little of the world has changed. If anything, I am bearing witness to a world desperate to hang on - not because doing so is in ...

Events coming up: Sheila Winter Wallace and Stela Murrizi
Below are opportunities for you to easily access experiences, skillfully facilitated by women who walk the talk. Sheila Winter Wallace: Tuesday, February 11th - March 3rd This is to remind those of you who have participated in my 21-day Meditation Masterclass in both December and January (and have expressed interest in continuing) that I am re-igniting ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Who Says it has to be Hard!
Transformation – although far too often over-promised and under-delivered! – is what my clients are looking for. Not incremental change; not small adjustments and little twists on the status quo, but those huge and irreversible changes to the way they move through the world. Our greatest invitation is to be able to free ourselves from our own limitations and ... 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 >>
You can’t get there from here…
Long story - short version: the gravity of the familiar is rapidly weakening. Gravity - that force that holds all things in their proper place - has been weakening for some time. Today, what once had roots now seems to be floating above the surface of where we think it belongs. Untethered. Groundless. Like the seeds of the dandelion…. blown about and set ... Continue Reading >>
Jennifer Hatt: The Joy is in the Mess
"Creation of anything requires space, movement, and flow. Our inner space is way cluttered with experiences from our ancestors, patterns and habits we were taught, and beliefs we hold … so cluttered it can be hard to find let alone hear our authentic selves amongst it all. Brilliant artists, the mystics and authors and painters and sculpters and musicians ... Continue Reading >>
No Boundaries = Manipulation
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 >>
Navigating Chaos: The Intimacy of Self Discovery
I am one of the very, very lucky ones! On a regular basis, and whenever I choose, I get to both initiate and/or participate in the creations of others that are intended to and designed for mindful evolution of Self, for its own sake. How many people have easy access to that kind of creative exploration, innovative thinking and resilient living? In the ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: The Roots of Magic in Manifestation
As we do every month, a small group of deeply curious women gathered to reconsider what it takes to manifest a reality of one's own choosing. And as always, buttons got pushed, rage awakened and tears flowed. And so did the laughter and the delight as the flashes of insight emerged and.... poof!... in a nano-second, 'reality' morphed. There is an ... Continue Reading >>
Are you worth what it takes to reclaim yourSelf?
I share with you my response in a recent exchange with a courageous woman who refuses to settle for a life of repeating history and habits of body and mind. What we were exploring is what it takes to reclaim the territory of your own Life and fully occupy every moment! Not always easy - and always worth it. =========================== Clearly, things are ... Continue Reading >>
A Mindful Moment…
It takes courage to dare to consider other than what sits so comfortably and mindlessly at the forefront of our habituated 'reality'. Living a joyous, meaningful, resourceful and resilient Life demands that we grow a spine; that we become willing to speak of the unspeakable; and that we invite and allow all the secrets and lies carried by the body to ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Exploring the power of context
An opportunity to consider the power of context in the creation of significant change in our lives. In this conversation with Brian Crombie, Sheila Winter Wallace encourages us to move beyond the tyranny of the moment and step back... take a breath... and dare to see the potential in what seems like a life gone awry. ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi & Randi White: OCD as a Gateway to Potential
Consider this your invitation to hear one woman's journey with and through OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) to a greater realization of her own potential... and a very different way of living. Stela Murrizi initiates a conversation with Randi White about the devastating impact on her life of decades of obsessive-compulsive behaviours; her discovery of ... Continue Reading >>

'Magic' is what we call it when the intellect cannot make sense of the outcome. ... 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 >>
Women and Rage
Anger is the polite voice that rage uses to be acceptable. ... 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 ...

Jason Christoff: We’re being manipulated
Be wary of those who profess their deep commitment to keeping you safe. All you need do, in exchange, is surrender your will, your natural intelligence, your innate truth and your Soul. Look around. How is this a safer world for our children and theirs? The evidence points to the natural cost of losing ourselves to deception when we could have said ... Continue Reading >>
This is not a meditation…
.... and it is an invitation to consider: "How else might I choose to live MY Life, today!" It doesn't have to be hard or take a long time. The simple act of choosing - mindfully and intentionally - to pause... and redirect your attention... can change your Life. ... Continue Reading >>
Focus: Choosing an Emerging Future
The easiest thing in the world to do, these days, is find something miserable to contemplate; something that will engender fear and a sense of hopelessness and despair. Thanks - I'll pass! In addition to being retired, I now have the great benefit of having even fewer obligations as all around me closes up and compresses the Space within which any signs ... Continue Reading >>
Intention
Your Life will be a reflection of those intentions you choose to fully engage. ... Continue Reading >>
Going First
As Gloria Steinem once said: The truth will set you free…. but first, it will piss you off! Why do such sentiments linger for so long? Because they strike a chord in so many. The attending ‘knowing’ lives silently in so many who do not dare …. until one does. Someone always has to go first. Going first is not always fun. At some times - and still, in ... Continue Reading >>
Wholeness of Being
In turbulent times, the ability to navigate - both at the level of the world that 'is' as well as at the level of the world that you intuit could be - is a critical expression of your Being. If you cannot trust that, within yourSelf, you have no choice but to seek out some other, outside-of-you voice and surrender to being led, in the hope that doing so ... Continue Reading >>
Self Directed Evolution: New Approach
When circumstances change, we adapt or - far too often - find ourselves adrift in a sea of confusion and uncertainty. In those moments, discovering how to turn to our inner cues for guidance can be the lifeline that pulls us into a more powerful context for choosing meaningfully and with a future direction in mind. If this has a resonance for you, this ... Continue Reading >>
Commit: 90 Seconds to Change Your World
Every day… at noon, local time…. stop what you’re doing and: Turn your full attention to yourself… to your body… and take 3 long, slow, deep and deliberate breaths. Then, as you take the next long, slow, deep and intentional breath... on the exhale, say calmly and peacefully to yourself: BE STILL... Slowly, take another long, slow, deep and ...

Creating Change
Deep and ancient is the lie that binds potential to the limitations of matter. There is no value in struggling with effects in matter. Power lives through exploration and discovery above the Choice Point... in the only place where intention can emerge into reality. ... Continue Reading >>
Living at the Edge of Distinction
I do not know what destiny you will choose to create for yourself in the midst of what seems to be an intentional and expansive press for us to lose our minds, abandon intentional will and choose death. Our own death and the death of others who seek to call us into the worst expression of our potential. And perhaps - at some deeper level of truth - to ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: ‘Decloaking’ 5-day on ZOOM – Oct. 1 to 5
"A virtual, small-group, WEL-Systems® intensive for entrepreneurial women, intended to shift your perspective about how you see your world and your place in it, so that you stop playing second fiddle to your own life and confidently reclaim the required and essential position of first violin. You know what the ‘status quo’ experience feels like in your ... Continue Reading >>
Leadership
How can you tell you're in the presence of leadership? Something inside you awakens and calls you forward into a better version of yourself. By that measure, how are you feeling about the leaders in our world, today? Perhaps it is your time... ... Continue Reading >>
The 30-Second Pause: Pivot for Potential
At some point, each of us must decide: from which side of the dotted line (Quantum Biological Human™) do we choose to engage? Do we choose to live from habit and repetition or do we choose to live from potential? The outcome of that choice determines whether we live IN ’the muck’ or whether we live FROM possibility. Lately, I have been in frequent ... Continue Reading >>
Boundaries
A boundary is not a betrayal of another - it is evidence of your refusal to betray yourself. ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Layers of Loss
Today brings the third and final sound clip from a recent Navigating Chaos experience. This one explores the many layers of the process of loss, encouraging discovery of the unexamined and often unclaimed, unique insights that loss can provoke. Too often, habits and history limit who we can become from embracing loss as the invitation to create, ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Change as Process
Few of us consider change beyond the event within which it rests. However, the simple act of Being human is in and of itself, a process... and within that one lives the inevitability of change as a sub-set of our humanness. Change requires an inhale to consider and an exhale to express the outcome of having chosen. Beyond the 'nitty gritty' details of ... Continue Reading >>
What does ChatGPT have to say about WEL-Systems®
Recently, one of my colleagues decided to find out what ChatGPT had to say about WEL-Systems®. Here is what she found out... right from the cutting edge of AI. ======================= WEL-Systems® is a transformative approach to personal and professional development that focuses on empowering individuals to create meaningful and sustainable change in ...

Sheila Winter Wallace: Money and Uncertainty
"Hind sight is easy. Over the years, I have been approached by so many women who worked hard, looked good, were smart, savvy, and took their responsibilities with others seriously. Somehow, they forgot themselves; they forgot that they matter. All of these conversations were had privately or in small groups of women in safe spaces. And sometimes, it took ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Who will you choose to be?
And the beat goes on... and on... and on..... The drums of war - of war with ideas and concepts; with ourselves and each other; and perhaps, worst of all, with our own inner truth - are moving from a distant drone to a vibration in the chest, as they move closer to home. Decision time. No longer something 'out there' to be observed and dismissed as not ... Continue Reading >>

Memory Lane: How then shall I live?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I originally wrote this July 29, 2020. Almost three years ago... and yet, at some level, feels like a lifetime ago. Stop, for a moment, and consider what has unfolded in your life... your reality... over these last three years. And sadly, it's not over, yet - there is much more to come. Despite ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Touchstone for Transition
Given all that is tearing at us, seeking to capture our attention, the word 'chaos' seems to be almost too 'normal' to do justice to the great effort that is currently unfolding. And I do believe it to be an intentional effort to fracture our ability to trust ourselves and each other. More and more, less and less remains of our habituated ways of moving ... Continue Reading >>
Resourceful and Resilient
Sometimes, we forget we're up for it... with 'it' being an intentional outcome of our own choosing. Just because 'the world' (out there) is not yet designed to facilitate it, does not mean that its facilitation is not possible. In the face of what seems to be the impossible, consider that its presence is really the provocation to consider: "How badly do ... Continue Reading >>

Selective truth of mind-share
The longer I live, the shorter my attention span becomes. It now takes a lot for me to be drawn to engage. The conversation is the key: how big, how far and how deep can it go? At this time in my own evolution, the desire to continue to evolve and become is greater than it has ever been. As more and more, science challenges our long-held thinking on who ... Continue Reading >>
Awakening inside a Collective Coma
What does it take for a collective to wake up? Is it even possible for a collective to wake up? A bunch of people shuffling in the same direction does not an intelligent organism make. If the individuals are not present, mindful and awake, putting a large number of them together does not increase intelligence but in truth, decreases it. The fine art of ... Continue Reading >>
Audacity: A salute to the women who dare…
It is not easy to be authentic in the living of your Life. The pressures to conform; to not stand out; to be reasonable and appropriate (whatever that means); to find the comfortable and acceptable middle ground that does not disturb… these override the inner drive to be fully present to and expressive of all that brings joy and meaning into your life! In ... Continue Reading >>
Imagining Your Life
I recently had an email exchange with a delightful young woman I have come to cherish. As I read her words, it occurred to me that the past continued to be the context within which the ability to choose had become 'frozen' in the face of imagined consequences. So, with that awareness in mind, I offered her a different perspective from which to consider ... Continue Reading >>
Impact
That we know, allows us to have opinions. That we engage, allows us to have impact. ... Continue Reading >>
Denial
Denial is a treacherous comfort. That it is denied does not mean it will not have consequences. ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic… of Shame
I know of no one who has been spared the drama and its attending impact from the last three years of constant pressure to capitulate and conform. To do what you're told. To not question. To be silent if not in agreement. To trust external authorities rather than your own internal cues. Over and over... day after day... pummelled by the talking heads, ... Continue Reading >>
How the body works
The magic of a small child lives in their unquestionable trust of the deep intelligence that is their own body. There is no filter between the inner cue and external engagement. It takes pain - chronic and applied over time or intense, in a single burst - and from that pain descends the silencing of the natural, intuitive inner joy... replaced with a ... Continue Reading >>
Redefining ourselves
Somewhere between rage, outrage and silence is the opportunity for us to redefine ourselves! ... Continue Reading >>
Perspective
Over my many years of living this way, perhaps the greatest irritation/frustration/annoyance/anger from clients/participants has been in the recognition that the answer is always ‘yes’. The answer is always ‘yes’ in the seeming contradictions of the need to have boundaries and collapse boundaries. In the need to speak and be silent. The need to stay and the ... Continue Reading >>
Beyond solving a problem to transforming a life…
There is an unapologetic ferocity to how Stela chooses to live her life. Annoying? For some. Provocative? For many! Compelling and life-giving? Always! ™™™ Perhaps her greatest gift lies in the unrelenting press for us to notice: how it once was, no longer is. Our world has already changed and we seem to be in no great hurry to notice and/or do ... Continue Reading >>

Awaken and Reclaim: Stela Shakti
"How “reality” is structured in our mind impacts the quality of life we believe we have access to. But, is what we’ve got really all there is? All there could be? In my experience, the more I inquire about myself within the good company of other curious women, the more I discover, the more empowered I know myself to be." In times of great uncertainty (like ...

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 >>
New post: Stela Shakti
Culturally... globally... we are caught/trapped in the bands of the hurricane. Every moment of every day, we seek the right information that we might make the right choices - for ourselves and those we care about. Consider, for a moment, how life might change were we to move into the eye of the hurricane; move into that place of vast stillness and calm; ... Continue Reading >>
Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world. At this time in our human experience, the frequency and range of choices with which we are faced is offering up the opportunity for us to begin to notice that underlying process and ...

Choosing the Freedom to Choose
Do not speak of climate change. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of a rapidly changing climate? Do not speak of pandemics and vaccines. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of immense and collective pressure to comply without raising question or voice? As I celebrate my 70th birthday, I do so in the full awareness that I have ... Continue Reading >>
Gregg Braden: Human By Design
Before we exercise our freedom to choose, we would be wise to listen... and allow ourselves to begin to understand all that we don't know, we don't yet know. ... Continue Reading >>
Your life…
... is your own creation. It does not happen by accident or coincidence or synchronicity. It is sculpted by your hand, guided by the clarity of your own intention, sourced and sustained by your deep and abiding connection to Self. There is no mystery to it - and it is most effective when embraced as the emergence from a state of Being rather than a ... Continue Reading >>
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
William Brown: the framework that shapes matter
Suicidal at 18, I knew that same-old/same-old was not a path for me to follow. In the face of a possible life shaped by antidepressants and alcohol (much evidence around me of it being a bad idea), I knew instinctively that I would have to deal with the intense pressure in my body to free myself from what I was told was 'real' and 'true' and 'right'. More ... Continue Reading >>

Dean Walker: Living Resilience – Deep Academy
That we know something does not mean that we know what to do with it, about it or because of it. Such is the state that we would be well advised to befriend.

Melissa Allison: New post on old choices
Creating new agreements, with intention Such is the topic of Melissa's latest offering on her blog. I read this one a couple of times, finding the choice of her language to be profoundly authentic and open; trusting that in her vulnerability she would find great strength. There is a grace to this… and a clarity of mind…. that exudes strength and ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Walking Away
I think of the power of walking away as akin to the power of silence. The choice to be still rather than be drawn into the vortex of a presenting option. An option and a choice are not the same thing. An option is presented to me - a choice is something I create. Both of these create a gap.... open up a space which to many may appear 'empty' and yet, ... Continue Reading >>
Resting Your Mind
The distractions are many and constant. No longer is the frenzied pitch intended to alert us to start or stop something - it is a constant reminder of the purported threat to our very lives. In the droning of background noise …. of television, laptops, tablets and phones; of YouTube, podcasts, live reporting on unfolding events or commentators’ views ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Surrender
Below, is a brief recording from some of the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. It’s worth watching/listening to, from beginning to end… and to discover that after decades of doing what you’ve been told to do, the answer is: STOP! And surrender. Surrender... the limitation of the intellect to the power of the body. Surrender… the truth that you are ... Continue Reading >>

Deb Gleason on: Surrender and Intensity
"What I know about Gaia is that she tells the truth of her own experience without attachment to outcome. She expresses her surrender intensely along a continuum of gentle to fierce. Her most gentle expressions can be observed in the delicate flowers that push through the spring soil, and in the way new ferns unfurl on the rainforest floor. On the other end ...

Now or never: Boundless LeaderSelf™
Now - unlike at any other time in conscious memory - we are being called to create beyond the mindless and incremental that has so relentlessly shaped our collective reality.

Three Things
The challenges continue, as billions around the globe are faced with affronts to their deep commitment to habits of body and mind. Gone are the days of ’normal’… when it seemed that the greatest of challenges would rise up in the lives of others - but not my own. In this moment, I am mindful of three things on which I must keep my focus: * I don’t know ... Continue Reading >>
Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>

Yuval Noah Harari: We become what we think about
No matter what the moment presents, we are faced with deciding how it's going to go. Either (A) we allow the moment to become the context for our decisions, or (B) we expand the context of who/what we are from within which we make choices that redefine the moment. Perhaps not as familiar, habituated or easy as (A) might appear to be, (B) has a future that ... Continue Reading >>

Another potent exploration of how else we might choose to live our lives today.... particularly in the face of a massive and global 'pause' in the business-as-usual lifestyle expectations.

Sheila Winter Wallace: Focus on Resourcefulness!
"This global pause to be still, let go and let god, invites me to consider what I'd like to contribute in these times of rapid fire uncertainty... contributions that will nourish one's body, mind and soul in ways that will transform pain into peace and possibility.

Deb Gleason: New post from the coast!
"I could suddenly see through it all, and I remained determined to follow my inner voice.

The truth is, it has always been my life, and my life has never been up for debate. My life was never ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Toward the Light
I see no value in seeking to paralyze ourselves with fear. 60 Minutes Australia has gone a very credible job presenting a full picture. Not pretty... and not a surrender to our sense of desperation, either. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a freight train! ... Continue Reading >>
FREE ~ Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Provocative times call for provocative choices. This is one of those times. In a recent post, I shared a TEDtalk re COVID-19. What stood out for me is that this particular virus transforms (attacks is one way of thinking of it - transforming is quite another) the lungs. In my world, from a CODE Model™ perspective, the lungs are the 4th Chakra (AIR ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Women, Leadership and Creation
"Today, I know that as woman, I am creator of my own life. The only validation I require to lead is that of my own intuition.

Our ability to ... Continue Reading >>
