The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #32 Hi Reader, September has sped by, full calendar, full mind, full days. It had me thinking about something I return to again and again when life gets busy: foundation. When everything feels a little chaotic, it is your inner stability, your energetic roots, that help ground and steady you. Have you ever noticed how a walk on the beach or sitting under a tree makes you feel calmer and steadier? That's your root chakra in action, quietly anchoring you to...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #31 Hi Reader, The level of collective stress in the world is overwhelming right now. The divisiveness. The fire hose of information and misinformation that floods us daily. The uncertainty that makes our world feel like a volcano about to erupt, and our nervous systems are showing it. This creates static in our energy systems. Functioning in this state is exhausting. It's hard to focus and even harder to truly relax. As women navigating midlife in turbulent...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #30 Hi Reader, Last year I learned La donna scrive il libro (the woman writes the book) in Italian. I also discovered that clay can magically transform into silver jewelry,it felt a little like Rumplestiltskin was inside the kiln working his magic.The material feels and looks like clay. You shape and decorate it, then fire it in a kiln. Once it comes out, it's silver. At my age, I'm more curious than ever, and science shows this might be the secret to aging...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #29 Hi Reader, I picked up a New York Times best seller this past week. The author was making the rounds on podcasts and the concept of looking at life in a holistic manner appealed to me. As I started to read there were a few ageist statements that ruffled my feathers. The last one segmented human growth into common stages: childhood, early career, raising a family, then after age fifty the “sunset years”… it had me grumbling. I stopped reading and looked to...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #28 Hi Reader, I've had my fair share of nights lying awake at 3 AM, mind racing with worries about not being able to get it all done, financial security, or that conversation I kept avoiding. Flipping over side to side, blankets in a tangle around my legs, thoughts won't settle, and I would give anything for just a moment of peace. Familiar? Or just me? For me EFT has helped. I've been using EFT or Tapping both personally and in my practice for decades. It’s...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #27 Hi Reader, A few years ago, I was working with a client who'd spent the better part of a decade trying to "find her purpose." She'd taken career assessments, worked with multiple coaches, and even left a stable job to pursue what she thought was her calling, only to find herself more confused than ever. Her voice carried that mix of longing and frustration I know so well, because I’ve heard it from countless women in my coaching and healing work, and I’ve...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #26 Hi Reader, Each month, I run a little life experiment, a simple, focused way to try something new and see what shifts. These experiments help me create change without pressure or overwhelm. Some of them last a week, others stretch into a full month depending on what I’m exploring. Last month’s experiment was all about boosting joy and movement. I started each day with dancing. I love to dance and don’t do it nearly enough, so I made it easy, a Spotify...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #25 Hi Reader, A few years ago, I sat in a doctor’s office explaining a mix of fatigue, swelling in my feet, unexpected weight gain, and a vague but persistent sense that something was “off.” . My vitals were fine, my overall health was good and I was approaching fifty. I remember the doctor sitting on her stool tilting her head and saying, “Well, eat better and get more exercise.” My mouth dropped open. I had just told her I walked three miles a day, did...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #24 Hi Reader, I woke up at 4:42 a.m. one day last week, flip flopped around a bit and squished my pillow into a multitude of shapes as if it would magically cradle me back to sleep. My mind is a busy place, and that day was no different. I began thinking about some changes I'm making in my business, the book I'm working on, and a new project; lo and behold, some self-doubt crept in. (Funny how those wee hours when thoughts ping-pong around your brain sprout...
