What is your core calling?
Women come to me with big ideas and core callings that they think are too bold, edgy, or out there. They fear they aren't enough to live up to their dreams of making a big impact. I guide them through their fears and into their brilliance so that they can achieve success and impact as leaders, activists, and change makers.
It's time for you to bring more harmony, joy, and peace to your own Nourished Home. And it's time for you to step up and into leadership as a Mama on a Mission, doing your part to create a more nourishing home for our planet and the whole human family.
Together, let's look at the whole of your life and help you achieve wild success, healing, and joy at home and as a leader in your community.
We are the Mama on a Mission Movement™. When you first heal what's holding you back, you become the medicine that our planet needs to heal and thrive.
Stay in touch and get to know me by entering your e-mail and name in the boxes above. I'm so glad you're here!

On my birthday, about 30 minutes after I shared with you that I am pregnant I got a scary call from one of my midwives.
She told me that my 20 week ultrasound showed our baby’s brain was measuring about two weeks too small.
The baby was sleeping during the ultrasound and wasn’t giving the technician the best angle to see her head or her heart. So we knew that we’d need to do another ultrasound to get those images. We weren’t alarmed by this and everything else had looked great.
But then came this call from the midwife. With this “news” my alarm bells went off.

Today is my birthday and I’m ready to celebrate something big that’s been unfolding for me.
I believe that life is a soul-stirring adventure, a series of unpredictable moments and experiences that can stir our souls awake into our deepest, most whole-hearted truths.
I believe that the ups and downs of the soul-stirring adventure teach us so much about who we really are, what we're really made of, and what it is we truly stand for.
All that's unfolded for me and my family over the past five months has had it's ups and downs. One big change has been a catalyst for a lot of other decisions my husband and I have made that impact the trajectory of life for us and our girls.

As you enter the weekend with your family, open up to the possibility of remembering how to come home to yourself, your power, your sense of calm confidence, and inner trust that was once so strong when you were a young child. If you're with young children this weekend, maybe even observe and follow their lead.
Right now, take a moment today to remember a "Golden Moment" in your early childhood.

I have been very quiet here the last few weeks. It's been a time of going within as my family and I are navigating some unexpected changes.
The past few weeks have been a mix of joy, grief, fear, and reverence for the lack of control that I have over the big stuff in life (a lesson I get to keep on learning...).
In the grand scheme of things, all is well. Truly.
This morning at school drop off I shared what's going on with a friend and fellow parent. And she transformed into the fairy godmother or guardian angel I so needed today.

This is what Spring is looking like in Maine right now. Beautiful and cold. Part thaw. Part ice. Waxing and waning between mud and snow as the temperatures rise and fall.
What does it mean to be aligned with this time of year here in Maine?
What does it look like to be at peace with this part of the yearly cycle?
Today I choose to walk through the mud and snow.

I was working with one of my beloved clients yesterday who is going through major change and releasing so much that no longer serves. One thing that's been stopping her from the change she desires is the fear that she'll lose her "identity."
So we went there. I encouraged her, "Let's go straight through to the fear. What will happen to your identity if you make this change?"
With a deep breath of relief and knowing in her body she realized, "Ah, this change won't truly alter who I am in my life and community." A simple yet profound revelation.

If you watch the news these days it is easy to be overcome with fear, anxiety, and confusion. Yet something that transcends the politics and conflicts of our times is arising.
A great awakening is unfolding and I'm thrilled to speak to this on International Women's Day.
While our anxieties may be rising about the great complexities we face politically, technologically, societally, and environmentally, our consciousness and resolve to DO something is also elevating.
I believe that by virtue of being alive at this time, we have been given an assignment to be peacefully powerful stewards for our children, families, communities, and planet.

"Your mother is a woman. And women like her cannot be contained.
There is a curse that will be broken. One thousand girls raise their arms now that reconciliation is possible.
If we're gonna heal, let it be glorious."

Whether you're finding shelter in harsh weather conditions, navigating an emotional storm in your family, or finding your way in the political storm that's unfolding this year, do you want to fight or be brave?
Notice the difference between the two.
When you fight you are engaged in violent struggle.
When you are brave, you are engaged in courageous behavior.

There is no no greater therapy for me than this. Snow shoes. The trees. The snow. And the sky.
What is your medicine? And how are you taking it in today?
I hosted my annual Word of the Year call on January 31st and I shared that my word this year is FREEDOM.
And as it typically goes for me, I get a great opportunity to test out my devotion to my Word of the Year as soon as I claim it!
