How Early Trauma Seeps into Our Relationships

When I reflect on my early childhood experiences, I see just how much my past shaped how I connected with others. The need to protect myself felt almost like a reflex—I’d put up walls to keep from getting hurt, yet those same walls kept love out too.

The Law of Acceptance

The first spiritual law states “everything is as it should be.” It’s not easy to embrace this law when your spouse just lied to you about your financial situation, cheated on you with your best friend, or is threatening you with divorce.

How Divorce and Global Warming are Connected

I was talking with one of my clients in an off-scheduled call during my morning yoga routine. She was distraught with emotion and we started making the analogy of how divorce can be described through weather patterns. We have EARTHQUAKES! This is the initial shock that rocks our foundation, destroying what we’ve grown and built […]
