However, being truly impeccable with your word as in The Four Agreeements or the practice of satya (truth) as in The Eight … Continue reading What You Think Is Your Truth

The Full Human Experience
Photo by Natu00e3 Romualdo on Pexels.com As I've touched on the idea of being worthy of the full human experience, I feel it's time to expound upon this concept. I often talk about recognizing our value and our worth so my dedicated readers, students, and clients are already familiar with the tools I teach to … Continue reading The Full Human Experience
Aligning with your Truth
Photo by Artem Podrez on Pexels.com Several years ago, before writing my first book, I was teaching a workshop on the chakra system. We arrived at the fifth energy point, the throat chakra, where creativity, expression, and truth live.

Leaning into Discomfort

Stepping Into the Fire
