What if you just said yes?

January 6, 2026

Let’s talk about the thing you keep reaching for and then pulling your hand away from… Your magic. Your creative hunger. That quiet, persistent vision that refuses to leave you alone. As we step further into 2026, I am deeply committed to one thing: inspiring a woman to take her dream and set it on […]

Let your longing be a love song

December 30, 2025

As we cross the threshold into a brand new year, everyone’s trying to outwit their flaws with resolutions and willpower. There’s a collective tightening that takes place. Gym memberships spike. Sugar gets demonized. Budgets are squeezed into spreadsheets. Everyone’s vowing to be better, neater, more disciplined, less human. But as we move into 2026, I’m […]

How to break the legacy of shame (even on a cold day)

December 23, 2025

Let’s be honest – winter is a b*tch. The sky hangs low. The days are damp and dim. It’s one long parade of lost gloves and bad lighting. December rolls in and suddenly even the simplest tasks – like leaving the house – feel downright heroic. The couch becomes a fortress. The gym, a distant memory. […]

Show your beauty to me

December 10, 2019

I am shy. Innately. I like running just under the radar. And then, on the other hand…I am on outrageous minx, a wild ball of fire, guzzling attention like it was Hi-test for my engine. (Hmmm…which is my truth, which is my cultural conditioning?) Tell me about you. In your opinion, where do you fall […]

You don’t have to heal to be magnificent.

May 22, 2018

It’s hard to see our beauty, sometimes. Impossible, at other times. But there are two things I know for sure: 1.  I have never met a woman who wasn’t beautiful. 2.  I have never met a woman who actually knew how beautiful she was. Because beauty isn’t about hip-to-waist-to-breast proportions.  It’s not about facial symmetry […]

How to feel beautiful and smash the patriarchy

February 20, 2018

If I were to put my finger on your beauty pulse, what would it read? I know that mine runs the gamut, day in and day out. Sometimes I find myself to be an utterly delicious confection, and other days I am rummaging through the back of my psychic closet to find something, anything, to […]

Sexy is confidence

January 9, 2018

Ready for a quick temperature read? I want to know – How’s your sexy doin’ these days? Is she checked in? Or checked out? As I was paging through my notes in preparation for The Womanly Arts Experience (our introductory weekend course, which is coming up in just two weeks, and is almost full!) I […]

When life feels like an uphill slog

October 10, 2017

If we are lucky, blessed and showered with unbelievable and unasked-for magnificent grace – life is long. And the experiences we have are varied, multifaceted, and scampering all over the spectrum from shitty-as-fuck, to earth-shakingly ecstatic. (I am especially thinking of our brothers and sisters and animal friends in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Caribbean […]

Not loving your job? Here’s 7 Tips.

May 10, 2017

Darling, “How am I supposed to feel turned on and in love with my life, when I spend so much time at a job I hate?” I received this question from a reader recently, and wanted to address it today because I know this sister is not alone in her frustration. Who amongst us hasn’t […]

My 3-Part Burn-Out Cure

November 15, 2016

What does it mean to be a success? In your own eyes? How do you know when enough is enough?  A couple months ago, I was watching the news when Hillary Clinton stumbled as she left the 9/11 memorial, because she had walking pneumonia.  It reminded me of the story in Arianna Huffington’s book about […]
