I had a shazam moment yesterday. We’re gearing up for a cross-country move right now, and have so much to do in such little time. From packing and saying goodbye to Sedona to getting settled in our new home in Portsmouth, NH, my mind was moving a roller coaster speed: “What should we pack first?” “How are we going to get everything all squared away over the next few weeks?” “What if things don’t go smoothly?” On and on I worried. After a busy morning with a TV interview and …

What do you do when despite your best efforts things don’t seem to be working out in your life? Perhaps you’ve tried so hard to reach a goal, land a new job or make a relationship work, but now you feel like nothing is coming to fruition. It’s as if you’re wandering through a Barren Desert, exhausted and with nowhere to hide. How do you move forward?
We all find ourselves in dry desert at some point in our lives. While we often view this landscape as hopeless and unfruitful, it …

Who is in the driver’s seat of your love life and relationships? Your higher self or your fears?
In my over 22 years working as an intuitive counselor, I can safely say that at least 90% of my conversations have involved love. Relationships are, after all, an intrinsic part of our human experience. They are one of the most important aspects of our lives and help us evolve on our path. Yet, for many of us, love is also incredibly frustrating. It’s something that we all want, yet for many of …

Who is guiding you on your path? Is it the voice of wisdom or the chatter of trickery?

If you want to harness your power to direct your life, you must learn to sort out what the …

When are you? As you experience yourself in this moment, are you really present in the now?
Of course, we’re all physically here right now, but most of us don’t often truly live in the present moment. Our human minds have the incredible ability to draw us back into the past and propel us into the future, all while we go about our day-to-day lives. While it can sometimes be good to relive old memories and dream about our future, living in the past or future more than the present can …

Take a second right now and give me your best grin. Even if you’re in a foul mood or reading this in the middle of a crowded grocery store, show those pearly whites!

Instead, quiet your mind and let your intuition speak to you. Picture a landscape. What’s it like? What’s going on around you?
I don’t know about you, but I’m standing with my nose against a bookstore window and brimming with excitement for my latest book, The Map: Finding the Magic and Meaning in the Story of …
