Sharing a blog post that offers some strategies for holiday overwhelm. From old conditioned patterns, cultural expectations and loyalty binds, we can be distracted from the joyful center we are trying to create for ourselves.

There was a meme a few years back that described someone ‘trading their regular anxiety for their sparkly Christmas anxiety’. This post is of course for you - but also for anyone wanting to enjoy the season without the usual overwhelm. This takes form for people in different ways, so I will try ...

Happy Friday, everyone! For those who aren't aware, I offer free, virtual workshops about once a month, on a variety of topics. Early next month, the focus for the workshop will be 'Navigating Narcissism during the Holidays'. It is my lived experience that this can be a very challenging time. In the workshop we will talk about what to expect, how to set boundaries, and how ritual (both new and old) can help you find your center and live in joy!

Traditional therapy may not be particularly helpful for empaths or those who have experienced narcissistic wounding. You are not broken, you do not need 'tools' or fixing. This is what has inspired me to create 'Transforming Pain to Power'.

A few months ago I was out for a run and, as so often happens, I got a message from my spirit community about how to help empaths or highly sensitive people. The message was loud and clear that in most instances, traditional psychotherapy does not align with what empaths need to heal and change thin...

Quite often, as people are seeking a consultation, or during a first session, they are curious about if they are in a relationship with a narcissist. I think the more helpful question, is if they are experiencing the signs of narcissistic wounding or abuse which more often than not, is rooted in pre-existing attachment issues. To help clarify this, I created a brief quiz. I am sharing that here:

It's that time of year!!!! The archetypes of 'Dark Empath' and 'Energy Vampires' apply to the shadow parts of ourselves, but, of course also to those with character pathology. Halloween is my favourite time of the year, and I always feel a bit compelled to offer some more holistic ways of understanding certain personalities.
