What a quandary. In June (on my birthday) the pope of the Catholic Church announced a revision of church dogma. Mary Magdalene was in fact not a prostitute, but in fact was “The Apostle to the Apostles” (whoops, what a major upgrade) and raised her annual celebration to a Feast Day. If Mary Magdalene was a movie, this was like winning the Oscar. This is a big deal and one worthy of celebration. Or ought to be. Women are rising up! Being acknowledged as the leaders and role models they actually are! And yet I’ve felt nothing inspiring about it—which

The Divine Feminine is rising, incarnated as the Priestess.The Priestess is the woman whose role is to be the intermediary between the spiritual and material realms. She is the channel for the divine,  the conduit for heaven on earth. (Does that make your heart scream: YES?) Right now, Her energy is becoming increasingly potent as more and more women feel called into Her power and activate her. The planet is needing Her to wake humanity up and create a massive transformation. As someone in my world, I know you're probably a woman who wants to serve and make a difference.

Starting Over Again Big relief: we just had our 1 year anniversary as owners of The Historic Balch Hotel. It’s a been a great year, busy and a true adventure, with loads of lessons learned. (Such as: don’t unpack a moving truck in flip flops! Ouch!) If you told me a year ago how long it would take to get settled into this new venture as hoteliers while I continue with my biz, I’d never have believed you. Call me massively optimistic (or deluded) but I thought it would take a few months at most to adapt to this new

Breaking Down Barriers That Keep You Small Just a quick heads up, since I know you're busy. The Women's Empowerment Summit that I am so thrilled to participate in just started. (It's free, of course.) Each day for nine days you'll receive a link to two interviews with women mentors. You'll have 72 hours to listen to each one, so you can still catch them all. MY INTERVIEW WILL AIR TODAY: FRIDAY, MAY 20TH. The theme for this series is How to Break Down the Barriers That Keep You Small. Awesome, huh? If you've been around me for any amount of time, you know I'm very passionate about

Finding Prosperity That Aligns with Your Feminine Soul How often have you thought: I'd love to, but I can't afford it? I hear it as the number one reason that keeps women from working with me privately, or attending our recent retreat, for example. Such a bummer to hear this! It's the MONEY. Not enough. And that's not unique. Many people report having money woes and stress--often chronic ones. We even take that for granted sometimes. But we don't have to. My passion and path has been about ways to access your feminine wisdom and soul power, connecting with your guidance, so that

Brave, Right and A Little Bit Scary Are you Brave? I'm not. And since writing The Magdalene PAth, I've found I've had to do something scary almost daily. The other day I got the message that it was time to gather online again, for another free virtual retreat. (Not so scary.) (Did you get the invite? No worries if you didn't, just scroll down.) Then I got a second download....and it's led me to do something super scary, that I've wanted to do for a long time....VIDEO! You see, I know that this space here at the Balch Hotel is
