5 Ways Boundaries Help Women Reclaim Their Power
Today, I am launching something very special: my new Boundaries Journal. This journal was born from a class I taught called Mindful Communication and Boundary Setting for Women. The class was small, but it was deep. It created the kind of space where women could speak honestly about the ways they had been taught to stay silent, tolerate harm, absorb other peopleās emotions, and call itā¦

12 Reasons Chand Mera Dil is a Feminist Bomb
I recently watched Chand Mera Dil, a Bollywood film starring Lakshya Lalwani (of Kill and Ba**ds of Bollywood fame) and Ananya Pandey (Chunkyās daughter), under Karan Joharās Dharma banner.

And, itās a feminist, ultra-modern filmā¦

3 Ways Iām Unlearning Toxic Relationship Patterns
Pattern-finding is my superpower. Lately, Iāve been reflecting a lot about people I have intentionally let go of in my life. When I look back, they fit into a certain pattern I am actively unlearning. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what certain relationships do to our nervous system, our energy, our peace, and our self-worth. I can have compassion for why people behave the wayā¦

3 Ways to Heal Hypervigilance Over Time
Iāve been reflecting on how much work it takes to heal hypervigilance. The APA Dictionary of Psychology defines hypervigilance as an abnormally heightened state of alertness, especially toward threatening or potentially dangerous stimuli. People often talk about healing as if it is a simple decision to calm down, trust more, or stop overthinking. But when your nervous system has been trained byā¦

3 Ways Perfectionism Damages Relationships
Iāve been reflecting on perfectionistic people. Perfectionism can look responsible from the outside, but itās a trauma response based on fear of failure. It can look like high standards, discipline, excellence, āI just want things done properly.ā But in relationships, perfectionism can become very painful, very quickly. One of the most damaging things it does is erase what has already beenā¦

3 Ways Affirmations Help Us Become Someone New
I teach affirmations all the time. I have overcome so much fear through affirmations, that I cannot help but teach it as one of the most powerful tools in my toolbox. Affirmations are simple statements in the present tense, that can, over time and through consistent repetition, change our lives. Affirmations are not magic words. They are repetition. They are re-parenting. They are a way ofā¦

3 Lessons My Boundaries Course Taught Me Before It Even Began
Recently, I had a deeply reflective experience while speaking with women who were interested in taking my boundaries course. Three women told me they could not join because they had no money. And here is the painful part: all three really needed the course. Two had given their money away to support young girls and single mothers. One was a young mother herself, in a toxic situation, trying toā¦

3 Signs Youāre Ready to Stop Surviving and Start Becoming Yourself
Over the years, I have noticed something very clear about the people who are drawn to my coaching practice. They are usually not looking for surface-level motivation. They are not looking for someone to simply tell them to āthink positive,ā make a vision board, or push through. They are looking for something deeper. They are trying to understand themselves. They are trying to heal. They areā¦

5 Reflections on Softness, Service, and Strength
This has been a big, beautiful, full-circle kind of week. I celebrated my birthday on the heels of Alchemus Prime turning 11. Eleven years of service, learning, rebuilding, refining, and continuing to say yes to the work I feel called to do. When I look back, I donāt just see a company. I see a path of integrity. I see courage. I see all the moments when I kept going, even when the next step wasā¦

13 Reasons I Went from Swimming 0 to 26 laps in 12 Months: From Phobic to Addict
My swimming journey began innocuously at age ten, then resulted in fear that kept me paralyzed for 38 years. A year later, I am addicted to swimming, and cannot wait to get to the pool. What made the difference? First , it was necessity. Injuries made it clear I had to swim to stay fit. I could not carry on with Zumba and other exercises that had impact on my knees. Thanks, netball, running,ā¦

4 Ways Trauma Feels Like Your Personality
One of the hardest things about trauma is that it can feel like personality. Not because it is ā but because you have lived with it for so long. Trauma often does not just live in memories. It lives in patterns. Patterns in how you react.Patterns in how you cope.Patterns in how you think.Patterns in who you become when you feel unsafe. And if we are not careful, we can spend years callingā¦
