The greatest gift you could give yourself this holiday season isn’t something you can buy online or place under the tree. It’s not anything that could be put into a box, wrapped in paper and tied with a bow. 🎁 
It’s something so much more subtle, and so much more powerful: inner peace.

Everyone deserves this gift, but most do not try to find it. And yet it’s the remedy to all of the suffering, strife and stress that we experience day after day after day.

For over two decades, I’ve helped millions of people across the world learn how to cultivate peace. Some people find me when they are struggling or in crisis and just stay for a short while. Some have found me and added me into the mix of meditation teachers they turn to and learn from. And others have felt called to go deeper into their soul, unveil what is beneath the surface, and transform their lives from the inside out.

The Masters of Wisdom & Meditation Teacher Training is an invitation to expand into a higher vibration while also finding steadiness and peace no matter what is going on around you.

There is an African proverb that states “when the root is deep we don’t fear the wind.” This training will deepen your roots and allow you to weather any storm coming at you in life.

Start learning more by simply scheduling a Discovery Call. We will do all that we can to support you through this process and set you up for success. Make 2026 the best year of your life! We begin in February.

This holiday season, give yourself the gift that no one can take away.

Trying to control another person’s behavior is like trying to stop the tide with your bare hands. It only creates resistance and exhaustion. (Plus, it’s simply impossible.)

But managing our expectations? This is where our power lives. 💥👊

When we release how our mind believes how someone should act, talk, respond, or show up - and instead honor them as they are - we move into acceptance rather than agitation.

This doesn’t mean that you don’t need to set a boundary or abandon your heart. It simply means honoring reality over illusion.

So when you find yourself in this situation, ask yourself:

🤔 Am I trying to reshape someone?
🤔 Am I trying to control a situation or behavior?

There is a freedom that comes when we choose to release control over something we have no control over anyways! And family time during the holidays is a perfect place to practice this. 😉

Does this resonate with you? Tell me about it below! 👇

And thank you to on IG for this friendly and important reminder.

Ever gotten stuck in your head, trying to think your way into clarity, an answer, or the “right” next step?

It’s easy to do. But when we let go of our need to control, and stop trying to force an outcome, something beautiful happens. We begin to drop into the wisdom of the heart. We allow intuition, trust and grace to lead, instead of overthinking and anxiety.

This is one of the deepest teachings that you will receive in my signature Masters of Wisdom & Meditation Teacher Training - how to trust life more fully, and how to listen to the subtle guidance that is always whispering within.

Every rainbow in your life - every moment of beauty, clarity, forgiveness, or joy - was born from a cloud, a storm, or a release that came before it.

In this world of polarity that we live in, we cannot have one without the other.

We can’t have pleasure unless we have pain. We can’t have joy unless we have sadness. If we didn’t have these opposing rhythms in life, nothing would have meaning or feeling.

It is the very act of rain that creates the rainbow. The rainbow wouldn’t happen otherwise.

Our tears are not signs of weakness. They are cleansing waters, softeners of what has hardened, and portals that make space for more light to enter.

So as much as it can hurt, allow the grief to move through. Allow the sadness to be felt. It is only through experiencing these things that we find the rainbow on the other end.

🙋I have a question for you!

Are you thinking ahead already to your New Years Resolutions? Pondering with anticipation about the “future you” in 2026, and all of the healthy and happy habits that are going to magically appear once January 1st rolls around?

It’s easy to get excited for a fresh start and the motivation that comes when we feel the energy of a new year.

But - truth bomb 💣 - it’s highly unlikely that any New Years Resolutions that you make will stick. It happens year after year for millions of people filled with good intentions and heightened expectations for themselves.

This month in my Mind Shift meditation membership, we are covering the theme of New Beginnings - we are laying down a stable foundation and planting the seeds for 2026. And we are making the small changes and initiating some easy changes now, so that by the time the new year hits, we’re already well on our way to whatever changes we’d like to make in our lives.

You never need to wait for a special opportunity - like New Years - to create change in your life! Every single moment is a brand new moment, and you can decide right here and now that you’re going to make any shifts needed to get where you want to go, or to release what is no longer serving you.

And you can start by clicking the link in my bio, where you join my FREE Sweetspot community, meditate with me on YouTube or Insight Timer, or learn more about my Mind Shift membership, which opens twice per year.

Aine Cassidy was a magnificent woman and a brilliant teacher - beautiful Celtic essence merged with such an authentic expression of the timeless wisdom teachings. At our Teachers Retreat in Dublin, I got the chance to spend quality time with her and she is etched in my heart forever. Such deep gratitude. She was truly a blessing. Aine was adored by our tribe and will be missed by her family, her friends and her fellow teachers who bonded with her over the years. Aine! I know you are reading this post. Drink these words in & receive the love of our community.

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives,
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of color.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being,
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was alive, awake, complete.

We look toward each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.

Though we cannot see you with outward eyes,
We know our soul’s gaze is upon your face,
Smiling back at us from within everything
To which we bring our best refinement.

Let us not look for you only in memory,
Where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence,
Besides us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.

When orchids brighten the earth,
Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope
In every heart that loves you.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.
To serve the call of courage and love
Until we see your beautiful face again
In that land where there is no more separation,
Where all tears will be wiped from our mind,
And where we will never lose you again.

The mind loves to circle, analyze, replay, and trip all over itself about the future or the past. We sit still, and the narrative grows louder. We stay stagnant, and the stories expand. Before we know it, an hour has passed and nothing has changed - except our tension.

But ten minutes of movement? Ten minutes of fresh air, blood flow, grounding, and rhythm?

That shifts everything. 🚶🌿 💗

When we move the body, the mind begins to unclench. When the feet find earth, the heart finds space. When the air touches our skin, we breathe it in and reconnect to the present moment.

You don’t need hours of time - you just need to step outside. Stop the spiral. Create that pattern interrupt.

So the next time your thoughts begin looping, give yourself permission to pause the mind and move the body. Reset your energy, and then go back to your day.

Thank you to on IG for this reminder!

It’s not just about building a personal meditation practice, it’s about the deep transformation that occurs when we integrate all of the teachings into every cell of our being.

This training can take whatever it is that you are already doing and help you expand further than you could even think possible. And interesting side note - you don’t even need to have a desire to teach! What happens through this training is that you make a profound energetic shift that transforms everything that you do and every way that you are in the world.

Right here, right now, can you allow yourself to release the past without judgment? Can you meet this moment with compassion? Can you lean into the mystery of what’s coming next?

When we surrender, we don’t give up - we rise up. We align with the divine flow, and life becomes less about resistance and more about receiving. When we soften our grip, we create space for the universe to take over.

Just begin with your breath. Take a long, slow deep breath in - and then exhale and let it go. Let your body teach you how to loosen your hold on everything, and move into a space of allowing.

Never forget that you are guided, supported and held by something so much bigger than you can even imagine!
