Let’s take you back to the time when I returned from this sisterhood yoga retreat in Tulum with 15 other ladies and one of my coaches. By far it was one of the most healing retreats for me because of the experience and practices we engaged in led by my coach, and my connections developed with the ladies.

It was January 2015, and I was in a dark place then. Living through a nightmare. Doing all the things – spiritually and self-care-wise to take care of myself. Literally, living moment to moment.

I let go of some burdens I carried, gained back some pieces of myself I’d lost. Felt a sense of possibility return. My belief stayed grounded in trusting and knowing that I would make it to the other side of [Continue Reading...]

I’ve been repeating myself. What I mean is I’ve been saying this same analogy to my clients recently, which revolves around change and leaning into change when you don’t have all the answers yet.

If you’re feeling reluctant or ambivalent about a specific change or creating change, I get it. I see you. While I tend to embrace change these days, I can still get triggered myself.

While some of us run toward change, some of us avoid it altogether. Based on my experience personally and working with clients, I’ve seen that change is typically about control to some degree.

We want to control a certain outcome. We want to anticipate all the what-ifs. We don’t want things to change or rather have it go back to the way it was before. We [Continue Reading...]

What worked for you the last three years, last three months, or even the last three weeks, just may not be serving you well any longer. Kind of feels even out of alignment with who you are or what you really want or need now and going forward.

Still, somehow you tend to get caught up in the keep-on-doing-the-same-approach, because it’s easier, familiar, and feels safer than trying something new, or so you believe.

In being honest with yourself, consider the possibility of feeling lighter and more at ease. Then imagine the potential that could be if you let yourself welcome the adventures and joy in a different decision. What would that look like for you?

You’re allowed to Change Your Mind and Approach…

In what you desire from a partner in a relationship. In [Continue Reading...]

“I’ve decided” is ranked high on the list, as the two most powerful words you can say. Because there’s a commitment behind it, it’s a conviction! Claim what you want, what you want to step into.

Implementing this principle made a huge difference for me, and I’ve seen the same happen for my clients. It creates change, results, and desires become a reality. Anything I’ve wanted came from making a decision first.

Once you’ve decided, you start to take actions that support that decision, quite often easily and immediately. It’s like, of course, I’m doing this because I’ve-decided-and-the resistance-excuses-have-lifted. It simply doesn’t have the same hold on you. There’s this powerful force or momentum that you’ve aligned yourself with and what you stand for.

Want clarity on how to do this for yourself? [Continue Reading...]

When I was working in corporate, I once had a boss tell me that all the HRBPs from another site, slept with the work phone right next to their pillow to respond immediately (emails/texts/calls) to the VP, HR, or some other perceived urgent matter from their client groups.

“I won’t be doing that.” I boldly said, with my stomach clenched in knots.

As a recovering workaholic, boundaries with myself, and boundaries with my boss, needed to be maintained. I promised myself.

Pretty sure, my response pissed off my boss. Not because I wouldn’t budge and do the same. What a ridiculous suggestion or hint as an expectation!

More so, what I sensed annoyed my boss, my defiance to not let my job take over my life. No longer would I sacrifice my well-being and [Continue Reading...]
