Leaving NYC: How to deal with the fear of moving

The new year is all about setting big goal and intentions for ourselves, yeah? Well, I’ve got a big scary goal that I’ve been sitting on for a long time… could this be the year it’s finally brought to fruition? I’m talking about moving away from New York City. Not just to travel for a series of months. But permanently. Scary!!!!! Maybe I should backtrack a little. I am originally from NYC – born in Manhattan, partially raised in Brooklyn. As a child we moved all over the east coast so I also grew up in other places but ever since …

Do we unconsciously block our happiness?

I’ve been feeling disconnected for much of this year. 2018 has been good to me in many ways – I had a phenomenal routine going earlier this year and felt like the productivity queen with everything I was getting done. I cleared out a ton of limiting beliefs which led to some huge manifestations. I traveled to Central America and Iceland (my 4th Iceland trip!) and got to experience the freedom of living and working on the road. I’ve finally been able to start settling down into the new phase of life I’ve been craving. But my dad’s illness has thrown …

What to do when you feel like crap

Every so often I experience one of those total OFF days. I wake up groggy having not slept well, something I ate the day before didn’t sit well and my digestion is dragging, my mind is foggy and all I feel like doing is staying in bed. I try to journal it out but the words aren’t coming. I try to get some work done but I keep getting distracted… by literally everything! The hours pass, I feel like a total slug and nothing of any real value is getting accomplished. Realising this, I feel even worse but still can’t seem …

Things that I’m afraid to say

This year feels all about authenticity for me. All about moving to a place where I can speak my truth, embrace transparency, and express myself in ways I feel like I’ve been holding back on out of fear. This has been THE biggest challenge for me throughout my life. I grew up believing that to acknowledge one’s fears and doubts is to make them more real and give them more power over us. To me it was a sign of weakness, not strength. It’s interesting how all the internal energy work I’ve been immersing myself in lately has unearthed this huge …

How to stay organized and get stuff done!

Reader request! In my last newsletter I mentioned some of the processes I’m using to set up my 2018 and help reach some of my goals. I also opened up the floor for any blog post requests. A reader emailed saying they struggle a lot with staying organized and wondered if I could provide any additional tips. YES – I have a bunch! Although let it be known, it’s not really in my nature to be super organised. This is something I’ve had to learn over time – and I learned it because I was getting increasingly frustrated with the problems …

Afraid of being JUDGED? Read this

Last year I was writing an email to an old friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in a long time. I had recently gotten back into the habit of blogging regularly again and had set up a few automated things to promote my writing more – one of these being a link to my blog in my gmail account. It had seemed like a good move at the time… and then I soon quickly forgot it was even there… I finished up my email and pressed SEND without thinking much about it – and suddenly realised to my sheer horror …
