Ah, dear one, Among the top things my clients want — and what humans in general want — is an epic er0tic life. ‘Er0tic’ definitely includes s#x, but our longing for the er*tic is not just about the s*xual, it’s about pleasure, enjoyment, happiness, satisfaction, sensuality, intimacy, and closeness, with a partner as well as with oneself. Put simply, the …
Hello dear one, I would like to give you some ‘good news,’ as it were, when you’re feeling stuck or lost. And there’s a simple exercise for you, toward the end, as well. Read on and/or watch the video version of it: A bit ago on a birthday call, I was describing to my friends …
Allow me to explain why I think Cate Blanchett got it right and women ought to begin trusting our innate feminine genius and looking to our yonis for guidance. A few years back Stephen Colbert did an interview with actor Cate Blanchett. As they talked about the Broadway play she was in, Blanchett explained that …
Allow me to tell you a story about The Sleeping Self. It’s my re-telling of an Edgar Allen Poe story, The Tell-tale Heart, and thus is a touch gruesome for a minute, so be forewarned and bear with me. There was once a woman — we’ll call her Jane — who was probably a lot like you and me: …
Dearest one, There’s stuck. And then there’s a particular kind of stuck that brilliant, hard-working, soulful women experience.

See if you can relate to these 3 different (all-too-common) scenarios … In them, the patterns that drive self-doubt are born. Scenario #1: Let’s say, when child #1 was young, she could sense how overwhelmed or distracted her caregivers were. She figured out that if she was ‘good,’ didn’t have any needs, didn’t speak up, and …
In my late twenties, I had been on a years-long headlong dive into personal growth and transformation. I had started my private practice. I was making more money than I had as a dancer (and often waitress). I was on my way to healing body dysmorphia and my disordered relationship with food. But I had …
Oh dear one, You know those parts of you that you might wish away? Perhaps you’ve longed for a scalpel to cut those parts out? A pill to take them away? A mantra, yoga pose, or 40-day cleanse to help you rid yourself of them once and for all? What if there was another wayto be with …
Your own voice. Everyone has it. And yet it can be one of the hardest things to locate in a busy, modern existence. And as a woman who has been trained to listen and attend to everyone else before herself. Everyone needs it. So we know what we want, what we don’t, what’s good for us …
Dear one, I’m losing beauty privilege. And youth privilege. Some health privilege, too. Don’t get me wrong. I’m good with it. I feel radiant and powerful. I look great. I am the most settled in who I am as I have ever been in my life — especially compared to the times in my life when I …
