I’ve known for awhile that I wanted to create something amazing and life-changing for you. Something that would allow you to express yourself, own your truth, and live your life with passion.

Of course, don’t we all want that? Passion, purpose, truth. Everyone talks about them all the time. Of course it would be amazing to make those things a part of your everyday life, wouldn’t it?

And if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person like me, those things are not only important to you but actually indispensable.

That’s why I was called to start a MOVEMENT. A movement that would not only help you make those lofty promises of passion and purpose more real but also honor the special ways that Highly Sensitive People like us function in the world.

One of my greatest gifts as an empath as well, is that I truly fall in love with people. I see the beauty and the power in just about everyone I meet. While this is a beautiful thing, sometimes it can be a little bit...

Every time I, as a psychologist, have to talk about mental health, I literally cringe...There is so much to be said about 'normal' that I know struggle with what society has defined as success and health.

Fifteen years ago I had to do one of the most difficult things in my life: I had to press charges on my brother. 

He had been struggling with psychotic episodes for 6 years at that time and he had gone off medication when a social worker said to him that maybe he was not schizophrenic at all… because he was ‘doing SO well’.

He, of course ecstatic because of this news, dumped his meds and a year later I had a knife on my throat.

I stayed calm, trusted that he didn’t really want to hurt me, and managed to run to my car, lock myself in and call the police.

(Choking up already as Iam writing this. No matter how often I talk or write about this, it still hurts. I am talking about my little brother here. I love him deeply. This was breaking my heart to say...

A blog about ranting…like…what?

Yes, I’m going to rant today about ranting, because unlike many people out there, I don’t believe there is anything wrong with a ‘good-heartfelt-put–it-all-out there’ rant.

This rant is inspired by a few fellow coaches, who are not only colleagues, but also friends. One is a health coach, and she was ranting to me about ‘her ideal client’, which is just a term for ‘who do I want to work with and why’. And she said she felt shame because she was ranting, like she wasn’t supposed to feel so strongly about this subject. I was so suprised by this because, throughout her rant, I had gotten a clear picture of who she wanted to work with. Today, during a mastermind call, this came up again. Same subject. The ideal client and the rant. When I suggested to them to write a rant about that subject they were feeling so strongly about, they were like: wait…can I do that?

And...
