In August of 2001… I moved from Colorado to California, and arrived in a little town called Sebastopol. I was post-graduate school (in Somatic Psychology), standing at a huge professional crossroads. I was working as a bookkeeper, doing overnight hospice shifts, and leading authentic movement groups. I was searching . . . Trying to put [...]
I knew this day would come as a Mommypreneur . . .
Yesterday Noah (my 4 ½ year old son) told us he wants to go to school full time, instead of just a few days a week. Deep Breath. Excitement. Hand-on-my-tender-heart. It’s not surprising that this request has come just two weeks after we completed the transition into his own cool big boy bed, after 4.5 [...]
My little holiday love note…
The dear Hannah Marcotti invited me to write a holiday love note. She included it in her ‘Joy Up’ Community, where she mixes magic, soulwork, tradition, ritual with grounding in the now. Joy Up is a wonderful place to hang out online during the month of December. And, Hannah is known as the faery who supports her beauties to [...]

Really good advice for riding the waves (of life, love, and launches)
As some of you know, my household is in the bliss and chaos called “launch mode”, as my hubby, Forest, welcomes a new crew of students into his Tech Genius program (Heads up: Registration ends this Sunday, 11/18, and the free training will also come down after that.) I’m fascinated by “launch energy”. It’s exciting, [...]
Adventures in the Art of Un-Shaming MYSELF (+ the interview that came out of it)
I stumbled into my shame this week. And, I climbed myself out of that black hole, and am reporting from the other side. There’s a happy ending, plus a great interview to share with you. Let me back up. As you may know, I recently named my “superpower” (thanks Andrea Scher for the invitation). After [...]
Have you named your superpower yet? I’ll go first . . .
So, have you named yours yet? Your superpower? Thanks to the one and only Andrea Scher, I got the amazingly deep experience of naming mine. She recently asked to feature me in her Creative Superheroes series, and I have to tell you, these interview questions just cracked me right open in the most beautiful way. [...]
Ode to Danielle LaPorte + Hannah + my brewing book
Today is not about a money teaching (well, not directly anyhow . . . of course you know by now that everything can be connected back to our money relationship!) Today is about a few things: Gratitude, Coming Out, and Moving Forward. It’s time to take you behind the scenes of the creative process over [...]
I really can’t stand the term “underearning”.
Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of “underearning” talk. The reason I’m turned off by the term is because I feel it oversimplifies a very complex and nuanced topic. While labeling or naming can be a helpful first step, we need to go further and break open those boxes. There’s some great work out there [...]
How do money and trust know each other?
What do you trust? Where is trust in your money relationship? How do you cultivate trust? Let me tell you, Trust has been really “up” for me lately. Calling for my attention. Challenging me. Teaching me. During my recent launch, I had to work my trust muscle pretty hard, as a third of my amazing [...]
