Anxiety has a way of creeping up on us. Sometimes the source of our unease is easy to pinpoint, while others times it seems to bubble up without cause. The natural tendency is to push away the anxious thoughts or deny they exist at all. Unfortunately, this rarely helps matters; in fact, it often makes things much worse. But what if we were able to face our anxiety head on? And what if we could use our spiritual practice as an additional tool to support ourselves through these anxious periods?...

Most of us can recall a time when we did something purely to please someone else. Maybe the action didn't sit well in our gut, but we did it anyway to avoid conflict or rejection. This desire to please others is hardwired into our survival instincts. When we make others happy, we're less likely to be cast out of the herd. This behavior makes sense, but when it becomes excessive we risk emotional and physical burnout. So how can we tell when our behavior is genuinely kind and helpful versus pe...
Managing feelings and emotions can be a complicated part of life. When we’re angry, sad, or frustrated it’s all too easy to blame our negative feelings on someone else. Sometimes we have a difficult time separating our own emotions from the emotions of others. We can even create codependent relationships by caretaking the feelings of others, rather than allowing them to do emotional work for themselves. Learning to be emotionally autonomous is a skill that we can hone once we start taking acc...
There are many reasons to feel uneasy these days. Most of us are walking around with frazzled nervous systems that we don’t know how to soothe. Stress and anxiety have become so commonplace that we don’t even realize how off kilter we are on a daily basis. Thankfully, there are many ways to calm our bodies if we’re willing to pay attention. Tending to our nervous systems is not frivolous, it’s critical work if we want to show up fully to our lives each day. Take a breath, find a pen and paper...
Everywhere we turn someone is looking to influence our choices. It seems that new “experts” are emerging every minute. It feels impossible to make a decision without weighing the opinions of all the external forces. But what if these external forces are only serving to cloud our inner wisdom? What if instead we chose to be our own authority? What would your life look like if you were the one calling the shots? It’s time to trust your own intuition, find the magic in influencing yourself. ...
In the past couple of generations, there’s been a lot of talk about finding one’s passion. Many people find themselves dissatisfied with their work because it doesn’t feel passionate enough. This begs the question, should our choice of vocation be fueled by practicality, passion, or calling? What even is a calling? And do we all have one? In today’s conversation, we’ll endeavor to define the differences between what lights a person up and what provides a deeper service. We’ll explore one’s mo...
Love and grief connect us to one other, but grief is a topic most people prefer to avoid. When someone is grieving it seems impossible to find the words needed to comfort them. We rush past condolences for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. We are unwilling to simply sit alongside another and hold space for their pain. Most people are walking around with hearts full of grief that no one is willing to bear witness to, which makes the experience all the more lonely. And it’s not just the ...
Our world is full of light and dark. There are times when it feels like the darkness is threatening to overtake. One only needs to glance at the daily news to determine that humans are capable of unimaginable cruelty. It can be hard to believe in the power of love when so much hate persists. So what do we do? How do we hold onto hope and faith in humanity when the rage burns so intensely? This is a question we must all ponder for ourselves. Resistance can take many forms. As we sit by the fir...
Imbolc has arrived! Even if you’re buried under snow right now, spring is undoubtedly working its magic underground. This is a perfect time to tend to the corners in your life that have gotten out of hand over the winter. Save the big house cleansing for spring, in this moment, it’s the smaller spaces that call for your attention. Perhaps you have a closet that desperately needs organizing, a desk overflowing with papers, an altar gathering dust, or a pile of craft supplies threatening to tak...
The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we’re going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light. It’s time to stop worrying about what they’re doing and start taking an interest in you...
When the new year rolls around, many people are quick to set goals and make resolutions. Unfortunately, this is often a distraction from the deeper work that we all have to do. There’s usually something that we’re hiding behind, something that we don’t want to look at, because we know that work will be hard… really hard. We’d rather focus on the shiny external work, rather than excavating the thing that’s really keeping us stuck. But what if life forces us to look at it? Isn’t it better to ch...
Many of us were relieved to leave the heavy energy of 2025 in the rearview mirror. The desire to return to the "good old days" was experienced by more than a few people. But is a return to the past likely for 2026? No one knows what this next cycle will bring, but there's astrological indication that we may be looking toward sweeping change. As Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, we have the potential for massive shifts on a societal level; long held systems may begin to dissolve. So what do ...
Happy New Year! 2026 is officially here! Many people dive into the new year with reckless abandon hoping to meet all of their elusive life goals. This often leads to self-loathing when we fail to meet the unrealistic expectation we’ve hastily set for ourselves. But what if this year we take a gentler approach? Rather than jumping in with both feet, instead we tiptoe into the next calendar year with an intentional, well-laid plan. Instead of rushing, what if we paused, considered, and took our...
After weeks of buildup and anticipation, Christmas and Yule have now passed. Whether your holiday was joyous or challenging, you’ll likely be experiencing a let-down after the outpouring of holiday energy. There’s a great temptation to dive headfirst into the new year without taking time to pause… but pause we must. Nature shows us that January is not the time to push and bloom, it’s the time to rest and plan. Before taking action, follow nature’s lead and lay dormant for a little while. Allo...
Happy Winter Solstice! This is a time for rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings. It’s also a time to receive, which is something that many of us struggle to do. Do you freely accept the generosity of others or does it make you feel vulnerable? Do you keep a tally of these “transactions” in your mind so that you can quickly repay the giver? Maybe you fear that when it really counts, others will let you down. What if this Yule, you learned to graciously and lovingly accept the kindness and love ...
Do you ever find yourself fighting against the moment? Sometimes the season we’re in is not the one we would choose for ourselves. This can be especially difficult during the holidays, a time when we just want things to feel easy and merry. It’s tempting to create an illusion, rather than looking at the moment for what it truly is. But what if laying bare the truth will actually set us free? Instead of wasting energy on conjuring a false reality this holiday, perhaps we can simply let it be… ...
December is here! A time for holidays and merriment and… exhaustion? Even when we commit to a simple holiday season, it’s easy to get run down and sluggish from the additional activities, heavy foods, and seasonal colds. But there are definitely things we can do to prioritize our well-being so that we can enter the holiday with vigor. Getting proper sleep, nourishment, fresh air, rest, and an extra dose of fermented foods, will help us fortify our systems this season. Join me in a new locatio...
The holiday season is officially in full swing! This is the time of year when traditions really take center stage. But before embarking on the usual holidays customs, consider if these rituals still align with who you are today. Do holiday traditions bring you comfort and joy? Or are there traditions that feel restrictive and oppressive? What are you eager to carry forward and what would you rather leave in the past? This season, embrace the traditions that feed your holiday spirit, and give ...
How do you feel about the gift-giving part of the holidays? Do you jump at the chance to shower your loved ones with presents? Or does the mere thought of holiday shopping leave you feeling exhausted? Most of us have some feelings around the consumer-driven aspect of the holiday season. So before pulling out your wallet, reflect on how gift-giving feels in your body. From this place, you’ll be much better equipped to find giving practices that align best for you.
