A practical exercise to embody more trust

I was walking along Lake Ontario, enjoying the abundance of beauty Mother Nature offered me when I had this insight:

We trust that the sun is always going to rise the next day.

We trust that after an inhale comes an exhale.

Instead of "just step outside your comfort zone", try this

Ever feel like the old age saying of “step outside your comfort zone" feel a bit anxiety inducing? Or stressful?

Or generally not as inspiring as people who use it intend it to be?

How to feel powerful in using your voice

For so long I held myself back from sharing my thoughts, insights and story.

And when I did momentarily find some courage to do so… it felt icky.

It wasn't as empowering as the mainstream said it was going to be.

But now, I share with so much gratitude and joy.

How to make a morning routine actually work for you

Do you have a morning routine you religiously live by?

Does it feel good in your body?

Do you do it because you “think you should”?

What to do when you feel like you're desperately clinging on to something

Ever feel like you cling desperately onto things?

Like you have a death grip around your goals?

Or a tight fist around what you want in the future?

Maybe it's a certain result… the dream job, house, business, relationship.

Or a certain feeling… certainty, safety, comfort.

New year, MORE you

The mentality that we constantly need to re-invent ourselves as "new" in order to achieve things is messed up.

It's also rooted in scarcity, lack and fear.

Instead of new year resolutions, try this

Happy New Year!

I'm anti-new-year-resolutions.

After years of setting them, failing them, and subsequently beating myself up about them, I've become less focused on resolutions, planning and executing things “to do” and focused more on how I want to be.

My wish for us in 2022

In my last post of the year, I'm sharing with you my wishes for us in 2022.

I wish that we nurture and cultivate a compassionate relationship with ourselves.

I wish that we stop sabotaging ourselves.

I wish that we confidently live our life with authenticity.

This muscle deserves your attention, too

The human species focuses a lot on training the physical body - your abs, biceps, quads.

I'd argue that we should be training the following muscles just as much, if not more than, our abs: our muscles of self awareness, compassion, discernment and intuition.

Self awareness isn't a skill that you simply have, or don't have.

It's a muscle that you can choose to train.

This made me feel like I wasn't a good enough mentor and coach

There was a time when I didn't feel like I was a good enough guide, coach or mentor.

Everything I was seeing online from other coaches were testimonials about how they helped their clients make $10K months.

So I started to compare myself, consumed by this nagging limiting belief:

I don't help my clients make $10K months so the work I do is not important and I'm not good enough.

How to acknowledge your emotions without the overwhelm

If you're anything like me and the clients I work with, you feel the feels.

Maybe you’ve even been called “too emotional” or “too sensitive” (fyi, me too, more than once).

Or growing up, you weren't taught how to feel (another fyi, me neither).

So now as an adult, part of your survival strategy has been to NOT feel. To instead bury your feelings deep into your subconscious for “later”.

How to love our weird and awkward selves

This is a weird and awkward photo of me…

It's an outtake from a photoshoot I did this year before leaving Vietnam.

I have no clue what I'm doing really.

…and I love it 😍
