How do you get yourself grounded?


"How do you get yourself grounded?"

“Grounded? What do you mean?”

I asked him this simple question and he tipped her head to the side with a big question mark on his face.

I had been asked this same question years ago as I began some of my deepest healing and was just as befuddled. Shortly after I began getting grounded, I was able to connect to my body for the first time in my life (40 years of living without connection to it).

I began listening to it.

I asked it questions.

I even started realizing just how much I had been punishing it for not keeping up with me.

This man standing before me looked like he had his shit together… yet I noticed that I had never seen his bare feet.

Everything is temporary

What a five day detox taught me about a commonly half-baked statement

Two weeks ago, I shared a post about my clay detox and everything I learned about myself through it. Since then, I've received so many offline messages about how this post changed everything for those who read it. Many reading it over and over.

One decided to set up his living room the way he liked instead of for guests, causing him to finally order the couch he really wanted.

Another started cleaning out her basement and getting rid of things she held onto "just in case."

Yet another began to see her career as temporary and decided to finally start the business she's been dreaming of.

Someone else decided she was done with her unhealthy habit of snacking before and after meals, causing her to hire a trainer and get her act together so she could be alive to see her grandchildren grow up.

I share these notes because these may be supportive of your own life. So, if you didn't get a chance to read it when I first sent it out, head over there and share what comes up for you as you dive into my own experience with a detox and a whole bunch of takeaways about how temporary everything is.


btw, in case you're feeling behind, exhausted, or unseen...
you are enough.
you are loved.
you are seen.
and you don't have to do anything to prove yourself to anyone.
you can rest knowing that I love you.

WHAT IF you are just one question away from the answer you've been waiting for? Have you ever had someone sit across from you and really listen? To the point that you kept looking away because it was a bit uncomfortable? Why is it so hard for us to have someone see us? Well, it’s because we’ve been trained to not talk to strangers from a very early age. We’ve been told that we shouldn’t say something unless it’s fully thought through. And we’ve learned that it’s better to NOT have attention...

I remember it like yesterday. I was sitting on a couch with a group of beautiful women at a retreat. One where most of us had just met, yet we felt like we had known each other for years. I felt so comfortable around them. We...

At our Farm-To-Table Dinner at Treehouse Vero This past weekend, I made a new local friend. We met at the gym and the very next day, we saw each other on the jetbridge of a flight heading to Westchester, NY. It felt like kismet. For weeks, I checked in on him. I invited him to different events or to hang out, but things just didn’t line up. Finally, about two weeks ago, I got an invitation to a farm-to-table dinner at a favorite local spot. I sent him the invite—and he said yes. The day-of,...
