What would you think if I told you that joy could be part of codependency? Well it can! Codependency and I have been friends for too many years to count (most of my life). However, in my discovery of this, I have found joy in learning who I am as an Adult and taking my childhood back. I might even say that I find it now as a gift as I now get to discover who I am and it’s an exciting journey to take as an Adult. I feel my inner...
This is the last show replay for the summer. It’s a wonderful show where I work with a client on breaking her negative patterns. There is a lot to be learned from this show. The only way you’re going to heal is to own your life. That’s the overriding message of the show today and it comes thanks to the story of a fabulous client we’ll call “Carolyn.” She’s graciously offered her story for this week’s show as a demonstration of owning your own stuff, and making great strides in breaking...

Feeling drained or fatigued? Maybe you pick up on other people’s emotions and can feel what they are feeling? This “phenomena” is not random, these are qualities of an empath. Many of us are walking around with anxiety, depression, aches and pains and are not aware that these too are common “issues” empaths can have. This was how I spent the first half of my life, until I learned about empaths and how to set better boundaries for myself. When we understand the qualities of being an empath, we can get healthy...
Ouch! Did someone call you a control freak?! I get it…been there with that label. We think that we are getting so much done, life feels like it’s in order and things are just, “better” because of how we see and operate in the world. It’s just “who we are.” I had to sit with that one when someone told me years ago that I was a control freak. I contemplated…”It isn’t who I am?” “Who would I be without my control?” Well it scared the crap out of me frankly. After...
How do you feel about anger? What do you do with your anger? Do you shove it down and override it with being “nice” so you “don’t rock the boat”? Many of us grew up with unhealthy anger modeling.

Whatever the case may be, anger is a healthy and much needed emotion. Anger fuels our power and can help us to make decisions and...

Abuse can be tricky, it can be subtle and ease into our lives. We can be living with it and might not even be aware of it. Abuse comes in many forms and not just the obvious physical abuse.
