Something I struggle with ALL THE FREAKING TIME is that I'll throw myself into a new project—with wild abandon, no less! — and then completely reverse course (or even drop it altogether) a short while later. I have been reflecting on it all and recognized a pattern that underlies many of my abandoned projects.

AI — specifically, generative AI — has been taking up a lot of mental real estate for me lately. The more I've learned about it, the more I've come to detest its existence. This post offers my position on generative AI, reflections for you if you are currently using it, and links to my own AI Policy.

I was talking to my crazy awesome therapist the other day about how I’d decided to stop leaning so heavily on their teachings in my own work. This led to an exploration on how I’d share my teachers' credentials, as if doing so added legitimacy to my work through my proximity to those more accomplished than me. Then, my therapist shared an observation…

Several days ago, I learned about a years-old incident involving two of my teachers that felt like a gut-punch. The alleged incident violated both of my criteria, and I spent close to a week struggling to reconcile it and decide how (or if) I want to respond. This post is about how I navigated things.

I’m in a women’s writing circle — In Her Words, facilitated by Lael Couper Jepson — and I felt pulled to share what I wrote this week. In this intimate telephone circle(!!), we share our written words in response to a prompt. This circling practice is both simple and powerful, and I’m sharing my words with you today because they provide context for the shifts in my work.

I've recently transitioned out of a liminal space, which began around the time I became a certified Wayfinder Master Coach, and though this was a huge accomplishment — the collective culmination of seven months of master coach training plus the year and half spent in training and mentorship to become a life coach — I was loving the journey and didn't want it to end.

In all but one women’s circle I’ve been a participatant in since 1999, the approach to sharing has been to let sharing happen organically, where only those who speak up get the floor. This approach fosters neither equity nor inclusion, regardless of the facilitator’s intent. This post offers an alternative.

After a lengthy hiatus, I've decided to facilitate another sacred sister virtual circle. And the theme that's been tugging at my heartstrings is self-love.

Ever since I began gathering women in sacred circle, I've fielded DMs and even phone calls from sisters about how they can do the same. And so, I've decided to create a resource that shares what I do and how I do it. My hope is that it will relieve any performance anxiety or trepidation you may hold about calling your own circles.

I remember a time when a handful of us sisters would gather on the full moon, in sacred circle, illuminated by moonlight and candlelight. Sometimes we’d tell stories, other times we’d sing.
