I was the kid who could always have discussions with adults. In fact, sometimes I felt like I fit in more at the adult table at family gatherings than in with my cousins.
I was the oldest child. I experienced some childhood trauma. I grew up fast.

Self-Esteem
In health class, we took a quiz to determine our self esteem.
Our teacher, Ms. Katz, was skinny and flat-chested. She never wore makeup and pulled her long blond hair into a low ponytail. She liked teaching Gym but not Health.
Although she was married, her face would turn red every time she had to talk about sex.
Perfectionism
I was only going to send this to my goal group members, but then I realized you all need to hear this message. Perfectionism is what blocks you from achieving your sacred goals, whether you’re in the group or not!
The goal group started Monday and each participant received a workbook where they have a daily worksheet to fill out.
Becoming
What if your goal wasn’t only about the money in the bank or the weight on the scale? What if it was about who you BECOME in the process?
How much more confident, caring and skilled do I need to become to be a fully booked mental health professional?
What I learned from online dating..
When I first started online dating, I was not good. My pictures were selfies with bad lighting. I was scared to message people, so I just waited for people to message me.
And, news flash, the majority of people who messaged me were not people who I wanted to date.
Top 4 Things I Learned from 2020
On March 16th, I was halfway through reading Cave in the Snow about Tenzin Palmo, one of the first Western women to become a Bhuddist monk. She lived and meditated in a cave for 12 years, 10 feet wide and 6 feet deep. She didn’t have a bed, only a meditation box that she sat in and meditated all night. No electricity or running water.
What I learned from Frozen 2
Elsa’s mom, Frozen 2
As a young girl watching Disney princesses, I learned they always needed to be completed by a man. And so I got the idea that in order to be complete I needed a husband.
That, of course, ended up being quite confusing because I was also attracted to women and because I had so many other ambitions that didn’t include marriage or motherhood.
Sacred Goals
The past couple of months, I’ve gotten a little bit more serious about setting financial goals for my business. In the past, I’d basically set a goal for the whole year and then forget about it and not make my goal and then at the end of the year be like, “Oh darn it, I didn’t make my goal.”
But then I decided to build a business that’s sustainable and profitable. So I set some sacred financial goals for myself.
Fitting in…
A few years ago, I applied to have my mental health professional profile put up on Psychology Today. I filled out the form and put in my credit card. And they said no.
Because Core Energetics isn’t as well recognized as other mental health modalities, they wouldn’t recognize me as a student. But they said that when I graduated, if I also had a bachelor’s degree in psychology or something related, then perhaps I could be recognized.
Coming out of the Spiritual Closet
I’m a deeply spiritual person, but sometimes I pretend I’m not. I used to pretend when I was at networking events full of lawyers and judges for the non-profit organization I worked for. And recently I realized that I was pretending not to be spiritual on social media and with you, my newsletter community.
