There's power to vulnerably sharing your suffering because it gives others permission to own theirs. As the saying goes, what's most personal is most universal. As we drop the facade and let people in, we find the support we did and did not know we needed.

They say when you make plans, God laughs. Maybe I didn’t get the message in 2020, but it’s loud and clear now.

Years ago, I was driving to give a big presentation to my biggest audience ever. The fear was palpable. I could feel its energy consuming every inch of space in the car. The only thing I could do was be with it. Listen to it. Move through, and see what was on the other side.

It's CRAZY to know that I just hit 1 million plays on Insight Timer. If you’ve listened to one of my meditations, THANK YOU. In 2016, I uploaded my first practice to Insight Timer. It was during a time of my life where I was still figuring out what my purpose and impact would be.

People who have a stable job and good health are ashamed that they feel sad or discontent. They push down their hurt, saying, "I'm healthy and employed so I shouldn't complain or I should be happy." We shouldn't be anything other than what we are.

In 2019 I shared in my newsletter 10 books that changed my life. To switch things up this week, I thought I'd share with you the books I've read so far in 2021. I love when people share what books they read and what they got out of them. Hoping you might enjoy it, too. :)
