I’ve gotten requests from a lot of women who have said, okay, I’m working on thinking more positively, but I’d love to have more tangible ways to practice self-love right now. I get that. Self-love is not just a concept in our heads. Yes, I talk a lot about releasing negative thoughts and criticism towards yourself and embracing more loving thoughts. I also talk about how our thoughts create our actions and therefore ...

Every time I host the Crazy Wild Love Holiday challenge, I am blown away by the excitement, support, and dedication from women who join in. We had around 300 women sign up for the challenge, and hundreds of posts and photos between Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. I haven't hosted the challenge for two years since having my son Kai. I was amazed to see women from my new mom's group so enthusiastic and ...

The Holiday Challenge is back and better than ever! I didn't do it last year because I was too much of an exhausted new mama. I am thrilled to be hosting it again this December. Before I give you the juicy details, I want to share a delightful story about how the little things make a big difference... When I was a kid, my mom used to leave notes hidden around the house ...

If I asked you to make a list all of the things you love, would you name yourself first? Most of us wouldn't. In fact I'm pretty sure I’d put reading at the top of my list (with Game of Thrones as a close second!). But love for ourselves should always come first. It sounds a little cliche nowadays, but truly, all we need is love. The Course in Miracles says anything that ...

Have you ever felt like a fraud or been afraid that you would be found out? This is a fear that sooo many women have and it's called the Imposter Syndrome. I had dealt with it for years and honestly, it kind of sucks. It's the feeling that no matter how beautiful people tell you you are, or how talented and smart, how many straight A's you get or degrees you have or ...

Saturday didn't start out great. I had a client call, which I was late to, because I couldn't find my phone. I was beyond tired and didn't know why. I was frustrated and a little worried about being so tired. There were errands that needed to be run but I didn't want to do them. And Kai was teething and wouldn't settle down because he was in pain. Some days, you just have ...

As I mentioned the other week in honor of creating space and preparing for my baby to arrive in just a few short days (fingers crossed!), I’m excited to share with you a few of my most popular blog posts of the past year. Many of you are new and have never seen these, and those of you who have been around for a while will love the reminders. I look forward ...

If you've been following me on Instagram and Facebook, you may know that in the past month we relocated back across the country to Portland, OR and moved into a new house. Phew-wee! I'm exhausted. I've been pushing myself to the brink, and the fact that not everything is properly organized in this house yet is driving me crazy, but my 38 week pregnant body is telling me to slooowwww down. So, I'm ...

I wish I could share some happier news with you. I had been excited to tell you that I was pregnant, but sadly that came to an abrupt end last week. I try to usually write and share things that I hope will inspire or uplift you in some way, but I want to also share my sadness and pain as well as my love and joy. And the truth is that life ...
