Feeling grateful to be featured in The Wall Street Journal sharing relationship wisdom.

I first learned the concept of “staying in the boat” years ago with a therapist, while navigating the natural ups and downs of relationships.

When discord, disagreement, or unease arises with someone we love, the invitation is to pause. Take a breath. Stay curious. Ask yourself: What’s really happening here?

What’s coming up for the other person isn’t about you. Curiosity brings us into a calm, parasympathetic state - where clarity can surface. Sometimes that means taking a break and returning to the conversation later.

Learning to work with energy boundaries is life-changing. When you stay in the boat, you create space for safety, trust, and deeper connection to emerge.

Thank you to The Wall Street Journal and Elizabeth Bernstein for including me in your annual relationship advice column.

Negative beliefs often serve a specific purpose - to help us survive.
They also point to what’s ready to be healed.

In this conversation, Finnian Kelly shares how we move from the finite version of ourselves to the infinite.
Real change begins within.

Awakening isn’t something we wait for - it begins the moment we choose to live with intention.

Faith isn’t having it all figured out.

It’s trusting the ground beneath you even when you can’t see it.

The ego will always try to take over. All you have to do is notice it, breathe, and return to your center.

I love Finnian Kelly's practice of a devotion document, a simple page on why you live the way you do. When ego jumps in, read it and come home to yourself.

Finnian invites us to live from the inside out through breath, presence, and intentional choices. He has coached leaders across 150+ companies and is known as The Business Mystic. His new book, Intentionality, launched June 2024.

Real change begins within. It starts the moment you choose to live with intention.

The fastest way back to aliveness isn’t through understanding—it’s through feeling.

When the body speaks, it’s not asking to be analyzed.�It’s asking to be listened to.

A single question brought decades of stored emotion to the surface—and reminded me where real healing actually happens.

I wrote about this moment in my latest blog.

During my years working as a hospice chaplain, I witnessed hundreds of people take their last breath.

In those sacred moments, one truth became clear: we don’t take with us our titles or possessions, only our capacity to love.

Love is why we are here - to learn to love more each and every day.

Your mind will throw you 60,000 thoughts a day. You do not have to chase one.

Stress loosens the moment you notice a thought and let it pass, like a cloud moving across the sky.

Try this right now:
• Inhale for 4, exhale for 6. Feel your feet.
• Say softly, “I see this thought.”
• Watch it float by. Return to your breath and body.

You are the awareness behind every thought and feeling.

We often turn to therapy when we feel unsettled - and therapy is valuable. But talking can only take us so far. The truth is, our past experiences live in our body, not just our mind.

In this solo episode, I share a personal moment that revealed just how deeply our past lives in the body. While therapy offers insight, the real shift happens when we turn inward, breathe, and allow long-held emotions to release.

Your body is the doorway to healing. When you come home to your body, you come home to your soul.

Every day I’m shown that there’s more here than what our eyes can see. Seeing spirits reminds me that death isn’t an end—it’s a continuation.

We’re souls having a brief human experience, and this life is a sacred gift. ✨

Healing begins the moment you turn inward.

When you meet yourself with compassion, everything softens.

Love yourself the way you’ve always needed, and watch your life open in ways you never expected.
