Soulful Living Coaching is a wholistic intuitive process where a client is gently yet powerfully guided on an inner exploration of their authentic selves. Through the use of many tools from different arenas clients are not given a cookie-cutter approach to coaching. The process is more a prescription of specific tools for their specific desired outcomes. And if a client feels they are unsure what it is they actually want their Soulful Living Coach can help them uncover the client’s personal truth and shine a light on what they truly want from their life, work and relationships. The coaching journey is a very unique one as your coach is not a therapist but not simply a cheerleader either. Your coach is your biggest ally and supporter on your journey to self. They are highly skilled at identifying previously unknown blocks to playing bigger and achieving the level of success that clients desire. Your coach will be able to intuitively identify points of resistance and help you to move skillfully around or right through this field of resistance. Through skills they will teach you and practical work in each session you will leave your coaching experience with powerful methods and teachings you will have for the rest of your life. And not only will these be of use to you, but you will also move through your world differently, with your children, your partner, your work colleagues, and on and on. They will feel the change in you and you will – simply by showing up in this new energy of authenticity – give them permission to also live a life more in alignment with their deepest soul’s calling.
Soulful Living is a unique set of paradigms or template on how we live our lives. It is like a road map for us to step out of the day-to-day busy-ness that we often find ourselves in, and feel free to live in complete alignment with our authentic selves. Many times in our lives we feel we are on an endless treadmill of to-do lists and obligations that we have lost ourselves along the way. Many of us have children and jobs and aging parents and find ourselves from time-to-time looking in the mirror and wondering who that person is that’s staring back at us.
“Soulful Living is like a road map for us to step out of the day-to-day busy-ness that we often find ourselves in, and feel free to live in complete alignment with our authentic selves.”
There are 3 pillars to Soulful Living: Intuition, Authenticity and Community
Pillar #1 – Intuition
When we want to live a more soulful life – as in, living and working anchored in the deepest part of ourselves – we need to be fully connected to our intuitive selves. We need to not only be able to hear our intuition clearly as much as possible, but we also need to trust it fully and follow its guidance. Sadly, in our modern culture, the world is full of so much noise and continually drowns out that quiet yet powerful part of ourselves. With Soulful Living tools at your disposal, you will be able to powerfully tap into this intuitive self at anytime and trust what it is telling you. And, in fact, with practice you will no longer need any external tools, you will be so deeply connected to this part of you that you will get instantaneous information for you to use on a moment-to-moment basis and will be able to pivot and move gracefully throughout your life. Ease. Peace. Confidence. You will grow in confidence in your decisions and the direction you are taking in every aspect of your life.
Pillar #2 – Authenticity
When was the last time you asked your self – for real – “What do I really want?” We get so caught up in the noise and busy-ness of our daily lives that next thing you know five years passes by and we are no further along in our journey to our dreams and aspirations and – in fact – feel like we have completely lost ourselves along the way. Getting caught up in the daily mundaneness of life we call ‘Wash, Rinse, Repeat.” Getting up every single day and doing the same thing over and over until we die. And, to be fair, some people are content with this as their life, but if you are reading these words and feel that powerful feeling of recognition that you no longer can live that way, than Pillar #2 is calling to you. When your soul recognizes what it needs to fully express itself in the world and to live, work, and relate to its biggest potential, it will relentlessly call you until you finally listen. If we continue to ignore this call, we will eventually become to Soul Tired that we will feel that our soul is actually dead. This can manifest as depression, anxiety, weightloss or gain, insomnia, irritability, relationship problems, loss of interest in things, basically feeling like a robot. When we sit down and start asking this difficult questions: What do I really want? Who am I really? What do I value? What would I regret on my deathbed that I did not do with my life/work? This is a massive part of what Soulful Living is all about. The goal is to uncover and reveal that part of you that is burdened by life. Overwhelmed by the to-do lists and obligations and people pleasing tendencies. With Soulful Living you will feel more yourself than every before. You will feel confident in how you show up in the world and you will feel your life force roaring up in joy and elation that you are allowing your inside self to match your outside self.
Pillar #3 – Community
We are hardwired to belong. This is embedded in our very DNA. Part of the challenge of our society today is that with our hyperconnectability with Social Media that we feel that we are never alone, however, people have never felt more lonely than right now. That is not to say that online connections are not valid or important, indeed many people feel very at home and supported in online communities with like-minded individuals. But many people do not go so far as to reach out to or start a soulful online community. They simply just post and comment on their networks engagements and promises of “getting together next week” till the cows come home. We go to work, watch tv, scroll social media, go to bed and do the same thing day after day without feeling like anyone has every really heard or seen us at all. With a Soulful Living community you will feel truly supported and seen. You will feel connected at a deep level with other women who are on a similar journey as you. You will feel deeply understood at your core with many nods and heart taps as you speak your truth. You will be able to do this for others too. You will feel refreshed and more alive after every gathering. It is truly magical. This is also something you can find in person and online searching up women’s groups that have a similar mission as your own. You can do in person or virtual. A combination of the two is a great structure of support. Take heed, though, other people in your life may not understand your Soulful Living Journey and may blow out your beautiful new born flame of excitement. Choose wisely whom you share your beginning journey with. This is another reason why a Soulful Living community is so important in our journey to the Self.

Your coach will then share the Soulful Living Coaching process and methodology with you and you will decide as a team if coaching is the right step for you at this time. If you say yes to your soul and dreams, you and your coach will take the next steps to get your three-month coaching series underway.

As the celestial dance unfolds, we find ourselves standing under the enchanting glow of the New Moon in Taurus. Symbolizing new beginnings and growth, this cosmic event presents a unique opportunity for us to harness its powerful energy and manifest our desires. You know I am actually a true skeptic about a lot of this stuff, including my own work with the tarot. How the heck does a deck of cards seem to magically allow me to hear my intuition? What?! And I DEFINITELY have not believed in any new moon/full moon mumbojumbo that’s for sure… UNTIL in 2016 on New Years Eve I decided to give the New Moon Manifestation stuff a try and HOLY MOLY. A literal miracle happened two weeks later. The very thing that I “wished/intended” for to happen – which was virtually impossible by the way – happened. WTH. So, in this blog post, we’ll explore how to conduct a New Moon manifestation ritual, incorporating the energy of Taurus and the guidance of tarot cards. We’ll also discuss various ways to honour and connect with the New Moon today. So, are your ready? Here we go!
- Setting the Stage:
To create a sacred space for your New Moon ritual, find a quiet corner where you can focus and feel at ease. Light a candle, burn some sage or palo santo to cleanse the energy, and create an ambiance that resonates with your intentions. Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment.
- Tarot Guidance:
Draw a tarot card to gain insight and guidance for your manifestation process. As the New Moon resides in Taurus, cards like The Empress or The Ace of Pentacles may hold particular significance. Reflect on the card’s imagery, symbolism, and messages. How does it relate to your current desires and aspirations? You can also use my New Moon Spread to gain even more insight, clarity and guidance on any New Moon throughout the year. Download it right here.
- Intentions and Affirmations:
With a pen and paper, write down your intentions for this lunar cycle. Focus on what you wish to manifest, envisioning the qualities, experiences, or transformations you desire. Be specific, but also open to the universe’s wisdom and surprises. Once your intentions are written, recite them as affirmations, infusing them with belief and passion. Also – important – to really feel what it would be like to already have this in your life/work/relationships. This is a huge part of manifesting many people don’t realize or forget to do.
- New Moon Ritual:
a. Charging Crystals: If you have crystals, gather them and hold them in your hands. Visualize the energy of the New Moon infusing them with its power. Set your intentions for each crystal, charging them with the purpose you wish them to serve.
b. Elemental Connection: Step outside under the night sky if possible. Connect with the elements by feeling the earth beneath your feet, inhaling the scents carried by the wind, and acknowledging the fire within you that burns with passion and determination. Embrace the connection to the natural world, recognizing your place in the universe.
c. Burning Ceremony: Write down any self – limiting beliefs, fears, or obstacles that hinder your manifestation journey on a separate piece of paper. Safely light a fireproof dish or cauldron and burn the paper, releasing those limitations into the flames. As the smoke rises, visualize the negative energies dissipating, making room for positive transformation.
- Honouring the New Moon Today:
Beyond the ritual, there are various ways to honour and align with the energy of the New Moon throughout the day:
a. Meditation: Practice meditation to quiet the mind and connect with your inner wisdom. Use this time to reflect on your intentions and deepen your understanding of your desires.
b. Journaling: Write in your journal, allowing your thoughts and emotions to flow freely. Explore your dreams, fears, and aspirations, and note any insights or inspirations that arise.
c. Nature Walk: Take a leisurely stroll in nature, immersing yourself in the beauty and tranquility around you. Let the serenity of the natural world amplify your connection to the New Moon’s energy.
The New Moon in Taurus presents an opportune moment for transformation and manifestation. By embracing a New Moon ritual and incorporating tarot cards, we open ourselves to the universe’s guidance and the power within. As we honour the New Moon throughout the day, we deepen our connection to its energy and align ourselves with the cosmic forces at play. So, let your intentions take flight, trust in the process, and let the transformative magic of the New Moon in Taurus unfold!
As always I love to hear from you! Comment below if you have ever had an experience working with the energy of the New Moon!

“Nature’s essence and the wild woman intertwine, blossoming into untamed beauty.”
The life cycle of a berry beautifully mirrors the essence of the wild woman. Just as the berry begins as a seed, the wild woman is born from a seed of untamed spirit and innate wisdom. She carries within her the potential for growth, transformation, and fierce authenticity.
As the berry sprouts and blooms into a delicate flower, the wild woman awakens to her true nature. She embraces her wildness, tapping into her intuition, instincts, and primal energy. Like the flower, she radiates a vibrant energy, unapologetically expressing her authentic self to the world.
As the flower transforms into a small, unassuming fruit, the wild woman’s power grows and ripens. She gathers life experiences, wisdom, and lessons, becoming an embodiment of feminine strength, resilience, and sensuality. Her essence, just like the sweet and juicy berry, entices and nourishes those who are drawn to her energy.
But the wild woman’s journey doesn’t end there.
Just as the berry offers its seeds to the world, the wild woman shares her wisdom, teachings, and feminine power with others. She becomes a catalyst for growth, inspiring those around her to embrace their own wildness and step into their authentic selves.
As the berry’s seeds disperse and find their place in the fertile soil, the wild woman’s legacy continues to thrive through the lives she touches. Her wild spirit and wisdom ripple through generations, reminding others of their innate power, connection to nature, and the importance of embracing the untamed aspects of their being.
So, let us honour the wild woman within us and in others.
Let us embrace the cycle of growth, transformation, and contribution, just as the berry embodies. May we celebrate our wildness, nourish our souls, and inspire others to reclaim their own wild nature. Like the berry, may we embody the innate power and beauty of the wild woman and leave a lasting impact on the world.
In a world that often feels chaotic and disconnected, soulful living is like a breath of fresh air. It’s about infusing meaning and purpose into every aspect of our lives, from our relationships and work to our self-care and spiritual practices. And that’s where I come in!
When you choose to work with me, whether through coaching, readings, or workshops, you’re inviting a guide and a companion on your soulful journey. Together, we’ll dive deep into the layers of your being, exploring what truly lights you up and ignites your passion.
During our coaching sessions, we’ll have heart-to-heart conversations that peel back the layers and uncover your innermost desires. I’ll be there to listen, support, and cheer you on as you take courageous steps towards aligning your life with your truest self.
In the realm of tarot readings, I’ll lay out the cards and unlock the messages they hold for you. It’s not about fortune-telling; it’s about tapping into your intuition and gaining insights that can guide you on your path. You’ll discover the power of self-reflection and the art of trusting your inner wisdom. If you are an entrepreneur I have specific targeted tarot readings that are exclusively for the woman in business, with powerful packaged designed to get you the results you have dreamed of in your business. Or to launch a new business off the ground with the best start possible.
But it doesn’t stop there. Through immersive workshops, you’ll join a community of fellow seekers, all committed to living soulfully. We’ll dive into topics like shadow work, intuition development, and desire mapping, sharing our stories and supporting one another as we grow.
Together, we’ll create a space where authenticity reigns, where you’re free to express yourself fully and explore the depths of your
being. Soulful living is a journey, and I’ll be by your side every step of the way, offering insights, tools, and encouragement.
So, if you’re ready to infuse your life with more meaning, purpose, and soulful connection, let’s connect. Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching, a personalized reading, or an immersive workshop experience, we’ll co-create a journey that’s uniquely yours.
Embrace the invitation to live a soulful life, where every day becomes a celebration of your true self. Reach out to me today, and let’s embark on this incredible adventure together!
Remember, you have the power to create a life that’s deeply aligned with your soul’s desires. Let’s make it happen, one soulful step at a time.

Did you ever just feel that no matter what you do road blocks are being thrown up in your face time and time again? You “feel” like your intuition is leading you down a certain path and then BOOM… the Universe hits you with a road block. So you go, “Hey shitty Road Block, I’m not gonna let you stop me, I’ll just bulldoze you over!” Or “Hey Road Block, you don’t fool me, I’m just gonna walk aaaaaalll the way around you!”
Only to be met by, you guessed it, another road block.
I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me.
A million billion times.
And it is only looking back with hindsight that we can clearly see what was leading us there and why we were pushing so hard to create an outcome.
Hindsight is a fascinating thing.
-
understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed.
“with hindsight, I should never have gone”
They say hindsight is 20/20, but why is that? Why can we not trust our intuition and instinct in the moment? What is it that is clouding our judgement so much that we refuse to see or can’t see that the path forward is just not meant for us?
There are several reasons why we may not listen to our intuition and therefore miss the path laid out before us:
- Lack of Trust: Some people may not trust their intuition and rely more on logic and rational thought. They may feel that their intuition is unreliable or that it cannot be trusted.
- Fear of Making Mistakes: Fear of making mistakes can prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may worry that following their intuition may lead to negative consequences, so they prefer to rely on more objective measures.
- Social Conditioning: Society often places more value on logic and rational thought than on intuition. As a result, some people may have been conditioned to ignore their intuition and to rely solely on objective measures.
- Overthinking: Overthinking and analyzing situations can also prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may become so caught up in analyzing the situation that they ignore their inner voice.
- Lack of Practice: Listening to intuition requires practice, and some people may not have developed the skill to do so effectively. With practice, however, people can learn to recognize and trust their intuition more readily.
As a result, if you believe in this sort of thing, The Universe or your higher self needs to – at times – create extremely strong and loud road blocks in our way in an effort to steer us in the right direction.
So, what do you do then when you get the sense that the Universe is saying “no” about a current situation in your life?
Well, you can stop all efforts and just WAIT and do nothing. See what comes up from that quiet of lack of motion. Sometimes when we take a pause that is enough to allow the answer to bubble to the surface. Or, you could get a reading of some kind or therapy. Either of these options allow a third party to help you – using tools like the tarot – to circumvent your logical brain and the inner critic and the ego to tap into the clear powerful voice of your own Wise Mind. You could also use what I like to call Deep Listening which you can read all about in a previous blog post HERE. Or you can simply plough ahead and see what happens. Sometimes it might work out, sometimes not, I have been known to pick this option on a number of occasions.
When to really stop all of the presses, though, and understand that The Universe or whatever that force is is indeed trying to stop you and steer you in another direction:
- Injury or illness – if your body is suddenly not well, even back pain or headaches, it is time for you to pay attention to where you are at in your life. Myself I pivot to the thing that feels most in alignment and pay attention to my body signals.
- People you love are reflecting back to you that you are “not happy” or “seem very stressed” – if you have people in your life that you love and trust they, at times, will have a better insight into your well being than you do. Pay attention when you hear people you trust in your life start to tell you they are worried about you.
- Other things keep pulling at you – those times when road blocks are happening over and over, pay attention to the things – sometimes one thing – that keep tugging at you persistently. It could be a nagging feeling or a “gut feeling” that keeps coming up. This is your intuition and “The Universe” trying to talk to you!
- Conflicts in your relationships – this one is a bit more nuanced but never-the-less no less powerful. When we are dragging ourselves down the wrong road the toll this can take on our psyche and very being has a direct affect on those around us. If you are generally unhappy because you can’t make a thing happen, it might not be your thing.
- Noticing feelings of envy or jealousy of others – another nuanced one but if you are moving down the wrong path and someone you know is moving down a different one and you start to think, “Dang it! I WANNA GO DOWN THAT PATH!” Then that is a HUGE HINT that that path is more in alignment with you and where you should be going.
All in all we all have experienced when we feel like The Universe is deliberately f-ing with us and foiling our plans at every turn, but like that Garth Brooks song says, “Thank God for unanswered prayers” because sometimes things are not meant for you, no matter how badly we think we want them.
If you are struggling with this in your life at all right now or in the future I can help! Reach out to inquire about readings or coaching with me and we can help you get clarity about your path together. One of the quickest ways to get answers on if a path is a yay or nay is a tarot reading or a coaching series so you don’t have to waste one more second of your precious life bulldozing road blocks out of the way down a path that was never meant for you.
And a final message from a colleague of mine, if things aren’t going your way try to remember this:
“Not rejected – redirected.”
LOVE. THIS.

I have been over here thinking about you and wondering something. Have you ever wanted to PLAY BIG in your life orwork? Have you ever wanted to feel more confident in everything you do or take bolder action and have a greater impact in the world through your work? Do you ever get tired of feeling “too old” or “too young” or “too lacking” in know how to do what you want to do? Are you exhausted with trying to please everyone else and you just want to do things for YOU for once in your life?
ME. TOO.
About eleven years ago I stumbled across the work of Tara Mohr. I was smack dab in the middle of a Dark Night of the Soul point in my life and she was literally one of the life lines that saved me back then. I took her course, applied all of the tools and then launched my business back in 2014. I now am a trained Playing Big Facilitator and use – and teach – the tools that I learned in Playing Big with all of my clients, students, and people in my life.
I occasionally still find myself wandering aimlessly in Playing Small so then I dust off my tools and apply them and VOILA… PLAYING BIG activates and me and my Wild Woman self are expanding and beaming light and lifting others along the way.
Use these tools when you are being called to do something outside your comfort zone and you are feeling TERRIFIED and even PARALYZED to make even a tiny step towards said thing.
If you relate to any of this, here are THREE TOOLS you can use TODAY to start playing big:
1. Get Curious: one of the very first tools you can implement is to get curious about the fear you are feeling. What is at the root of this fear? Do you feel like you don’t know enough? Do you feel like an imposter? Getting curious takes the charge out of the fear. It neutralizes it enough so that you can begin to manage the fear so that you can do the thing in spite of it.
2. Tap Into your Inner Mentor: I have a great guided meditation that I do with my workshop participants and my clients on how to visit your inner mentor – YOU 20 years into the future. There’s something very magical about visiting “future you” because they have already been through everything you are going through. They have 20 years of wisdom and they have 20 years of navigating life and work that they can share with you. It is an incredibly powerful exercise and will also neutralize the fear and make you feel quite fearless actually.
3. Reconnect with your Desire to Serve: This is such a huge one! I learned this from a few teachers along my journey of being an entrepreneur and just, well, being a person in the world. When we shift to being of service it takes the pressure off of us feeling like we have to perform. For example, if you wanted to be a public speaker and you want to start going to Toastmasters you might be terrified and your inner critic might be trying to stop you. This is a classic example of the inner saboteur or inner critic stopping you from playing big. If you shifted to a service mindset – in other words how can my speeches or my inspirational talks truly help others? If you really stay there in your intention suddenly it’s not a scary anymore because it’s not really about you! AMAZING!
These are just 3 tools from a loooooong list of others to help you and support your Playing Big Journey. If you are really ready to step into your true authentic self and are tired of you getting in your own way, I invite you to check out my readings AND/OR Playing Big Coaching. I have helped dozens of people to play big – become published best selling authors, become public speakers, launching successful businesses, leave unhappy relationships… you name it! I am here FOR YOU. And my work ACTUALLY CAN HELP YOU FOR REALZ. Visit HERE for coaching info and HERE for personal readings and HERE for entrepreneurial readings. Can’t wait to support you on your journey!
