I was chatting with a friend recently about how this year has been a lot. A LOT. It’s been the hardest year of my adult life by a long shot, yet it’s also been healing, full of beauty, and dripping in lessons. Although it’s been hard, I’ve become more myself this year than in any past years. My sense of self has solidified and I’ve stepped into being unapologetically me. So as I was sitting with my friend reflecting on all of this, we decided that 2024 has been "Awfully Wonderful." I love a...

I spent last week in Savannah with a client who’s shifting her focus from her successful career to the kind of business that brings her deep joy and adventure. We spent time shifting old patterns of scarcity, uncovering beautiful childhood memories, and painting a sunset in watercolor. The whole trip was truly remarkable. And then I came home to this: Huffiness over the Pantone color of the year being Mocha Mousse A health insurance CEO was assassinated in NYC The Canadian postal service is...

When was the last time you thought to yourself: “I wish I had someone to talk to about this” Then the next thought was: “yeah, but what would they think of me?” I get it. When I began immersing myself into personal growth back in 2016, I’d find myself lost and wondering who to talk to about what I was feeling, thinking, and becoming. I asked people what self-help books they were reading, what podcasts they listened to, and who they were working with. I hired business coaches, healers, and...

photo at CADREcon 4 in DC by Vithaya What if you finally stopped waiting? For almost everyone I've talked to lately, 2024 has been a helluva year. A year of love and loss, major ups and downs, heartache and pain, and big wins that ended up tragedy. I haven't been left out of this stomach-flipping rollercoaster either. My knuckles have been white as I've held on for dear life, not fully sure if I'd make it to the end. Today is Sunday, December 1, 2024. It's the first day of the last month of...

A foggy morning on Madeira Island, Portugal at our last retreat - Photo by Mary Gardella Six weeks ago, I turned 44 surrounded by chosen family. I was celebrated by clients, crew, and closest friends through gifts of presence, spa treatments, cards, flowers, and truly beautiful messages about who I am to each of them. The day started with sunrise on the beach and ended with sitting on the floor of our living room laughing and telling stories. As I blew out my birthday candles, I could feel my...

What's your definition of success? I used to think sitting still was for lazy people. My whole life was go-go-go and I liked it that way. From the time I woke up in my running clothes so I could hit the trails before sunrise to getting to work early so I could catch up before my team showed up, I didn't stop until I fell asleep wearily only to start the day over again. I felt like I was living my life to the fullest, using every single moment to get things done. To accomplish. To be...

A few months ago, when Lexi shared that she wanted to post some of her stories in the One Moksha Network, I was overcome with joy for numerous reasons. Just over 18 months before this, I had received Lexi's retreat intake form and read her words out loud to myself: "Please don't push me outside of my comfort zone and definitely don't ask me to speak to the group." At that gorgeous home in Palm Springs, I watched her step out of herself and into the woman I saw inside of her. She shared in...

photo in the Fanal Forest on Madeira Island in Portugal So, you're sabotaging your success, huh? The vision you have for your future is cloudy at best and you're worried that if you set a clear one you'll never make it a reality, so you don't. The message you sent without thinking about its impact on the other person because you were in a hurry. The moment demanding your presence but you had other things on your mind more important than the relationship. The fear you gave into that led you...
