Go to the island, burn the boats

The trouble is, you think you have time.

- Buddha

How committed are you to your purpose? How excited are you to do your work in the world? How ready are you to step into your power, to be seen, to really do something meaningful?

If you’re nodding and saying yes to yourself, or you feel like you’re even on the outskirts of this vicinity, then let me ask you this:

Are you hedging your bets?

Are you dancing around the edges of your work and life, not wanting to fully step in?

Are you just dabbling, playing with the idea of stepping in but only doing it half-heartedly?

Are you still invested in your Plan B, you know, just in case?

Do you think you’re all in, but know in your soul that you aren’t even close?

If any of these questions ring remotely true, then I have a message for you.

Lean in and listen closely.

If you know in your heart it’s time. If you’ve mitigated all of the risk required. If you’ve played on the edges and you just know that you really do need to do this thing, and that the time is now.

If you’re ready to step into your potential, your power, your purpose.

If you just know.

Then here is the message.

Go to the island. Burn the boats. And don’t look back.

Creating space

A woman is sitting in front of her therapist. Georgia came to see him desperately seeking a relationship. After many sessions, the therapist asked her what space she had created for this new relationship to come into her life. “Have you cleared out part of your wardrobe?” he asked. “What for?” Georgia questioned. “For the

You can strive for less

What would it feel like to strive for less, instead of more? You may need to sit with this one for a few moments. We are socially programmed to always want more. More money. A better job with a bigger title. A bigger business. A newer car. A larger house. The newest fashion in our

What would a radical move look like?

Think radical. Off the charts. Exciting but perhaps mildly terrifying. A definite game changer. What would it look like? Is it something completely unexpected, or perhaps something you have been quietly dreaming about for some time? Feel into it. We don’t often make radical moves. Mostly we skim around the edges. If we want to

Make your art

You are an artist. No I’m not. I can’t paint. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body. I’m not creative. I don’t write. I don’t play. I don’t…..write down the resistance filled blank here. But this is not just what art is. Art is creation. Art is thinking outside the box. Or destroying

Everything is progress

Sometimes we feel like only the big steps matter. That only when we achieve a major milestone are we actually moving forward. But in truth, every single thing you do is progress. The smallest thing you ticked off your to do list today is inching you closer to your goal. And whenever you are being

Softening into feminine power

Sarah is in her mid thirties and works in a manufacturing business. She came to me two years ago because she wanted to step more into her feminine traits. These weren’t the words she used to describe her struggles, as they rarely are. She said she was feeling exhausted, having marriage issues, struggling to feel
