When the Fire Went Out…
My creativity has always been a lifeline for me. When I was trapped in an abusive relationship. When I was first diagnosed with chronic pain. When I caught Lyme disease and struggled with chronic illness… No matter how shattering an event was, I could still envision a future, see new possibilities, remember why I was here, because…
I can’t Believe it’s been Two Years
Somehow it’s been two years since Mirrors in the Earth first came out… In some ways it feels like it’s been no time at all, and in other ways it feels as if I’ve lived an entire life. When the book first released I had a four month old baby. My entire world had just gotten turned…
What is your “Earth-Given Voice”?
You have a voice that is absolutely unique to you, dear one. It’s part of why you came here to this planet. I call this voice—this way of being, expressing and emanating in the world—your “earth-given” voice. And life-changing things can happen when you embody it.

All I Really Wanted for Mother’s Day
The moment I woke up this morning, I knew exactly what I wanted for Mother’s Day. It wasn’t breakfast in bed (though who doesn’t love that) or flowers (which are always lovely)—I wanted to go be with the mother trees. A few years ago, during the pandemic, I started a project of mapping the “mother trees” on…
Revealing Your Life’s Blueprint with Plants
Once, if you’d asked me what my greatest fear was, I would have said this— I’m afraid I won’t live up to my soul’s potential in this lifetime. Not spiders, not earthquakes, not even death. My greatest fear was that I would never fully tap into the blueprint of what my widest self knew was possible for me…
