Closer, Deeper, Stronger...

Is that what you want?

In the past year of speaking with so many men and women who struggle in their marriages, we heard these words over and over again...

"I want to feel closer in our relationship..."

"I wish we could go deeper in our marriage..."

"I hope that we have the strength to survive what almost broke us..."

In the 23 years that we've been together, we've been able to do just that...

Get closer, deeper, and stronger every day...

Not because we were lucky to have been high school sweethearts...

But because we never gave up the faith...

And we kept showing up...

Even when it was hard...

Even when there were times we wanted to walk away...

Even when we felt broken and raw...

We showed up...

Willing to grow, evolve, and learn the tools...

And most importantly, take action towards building a closer, deeper, and stronger bond...

Rome wasn't built in a day...

And neither is a solid relationship...

It takes the willingness to put your hand up and say
"I don't know what the answers are right now. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to figure it out...with you. And even on days when you can't or won't show up. I will still show up. Because I believe in us, I believe in our future, and I want to leave an impact in this world for good. And I know I'm better able to do that with you."

Over the past couple of weeks, many couples have reached out to tell us that they are inspired by how we live...

They see our kids and they're in awe...

They see our home and they're in awe...

They see us happy together and they're in awe...

We aren't special individuals.

We're special together.

And we know what kind of magic we make because of our love.

If you're reading this and you want to prioritize your relationship, and dedicate time and space to growing a closer, deeper, and stronger bond...

And you are the kind of couple that is willing to do whatever it takes to leave a legacy of love and prosperity in the world...

You may be interested in this magic-making couples retreat we're hosting at our home on November 28 - December 1 weekend.

Send us a DM or comment below and I'll shoot you over some more details.

Your relationship deserves to be a priority.

And remember, there's nothing that time, space, faith, and love can't create.

"I'm so stupid.
I'm not enough.
Nobody ever gets me."

Imagine these were the thoughts that dominated my life?

I talk to clients every day who have these enduring, self-depricating thoughts.

I ask them: "Do you want to feel stupid? Do you want to believe the world is against you?"

If you do, then continue to think that way.

I wouldn't judge you if that was your choice.

I'm just not sure that you're aware of how much your self-talk game is stopping you from being all that you can be.

If you don't want to continue to feel stupid and you do want to stop self-harming, there is a way out of that prison.

Don't get me wrong.

I have these thoughts, too, for sure.
Daily - in fact.

I let my victim-minded self say what she needs to say.

That way, she doesn't nag me because I'm trying to drown out her voice.

I let her have her say, and then I let all the other thoughts come to life.

And then I choose which thoughts serve me the best.

I do feel stupid occasionally - for doing dumb things, wasting my time, wasting my money.

I look at the reno-project gone wrong, or the client who quit, and I feel little and stupid.

I look at what other influencers do, and then I feel I don't have enough impact.

Your inclination may be to try to make me feel better by saying - "Nancy, you shouldn't think like that. You're so smart. And you're an amazing coach."

I'd say your heart is in the right place. Except the "You shouldn't" part.

That sneaky "Should" hurts us just as much, if not more, than the actual negative thought.

Negative thoughts want to be seen and acknowledged too.

I just don't hold on to them and let them rule my life.

I let them have their say, so that they can pass on through me, not controlling my life.

So, if you're reading this and you too have negative thoughts about yourself or the world, that's ok.

And whenever you're ready to take on a new lens of yourself and the world, there's a whole new world out there for you too!

One of endless possibility and transformation.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be wrong.

If I thought I was stupid, that people didn't get me, and I wasn't good enough - I would walk around and live life that way, and that would be true for me.

And that's not how I want to live.

So choose your thoughts wisely.

Thoughts --> Beliefs --> Actions --> Results

Choose your thoughts wisely.

Do you think this is wrong?

Just hung out with one of my closest guy friends, and when he left,
I said "I love you."

I say this to all my friends.

Actually, I say this to all people I love.

Even if I know them for a brief time.

I just love people.

But do you think I should refrain from saying "I love you" to men if I'm a happily married woman?

Or do I need to be like Wesley. He wrote a note to his friend saying "I love you - but only as a friend."

I've recently had a couple of contractors be especially flirty with me in my own home, with my husband upstairs in his office.

I definitely don't say "I love you" to these guys - but I think some people mistake my friendliness with flirtiness.

I thought that grown men could tell the difference...but maybe not!

Thoughts and comments please!

When you start to HEAR your HEART, you start to HEAL

HEAR HEART to HEAL HEART

Are you with her?

Or are you with him?

If you've claimed that you're with her, you're losing.

And if you've claimed that you're with him, you're losing too.

The loser is the one who is brainwashed into picking a side.

The winner is the one who is dividing and conquering.

The real winner is the one who sees all of this, turns away, and focuses on your own family, and isn't concerned about optics and politics.

In marriage, it's not her fault, and it's not his fault.

It's the responsibility of BOTH husband and wife to take care of the family and prepare for the future.

When the husband turns against his wife, or the wife turns against her husband, the family is done.

We live in a political world that's 'him against her'.

Let's change that.

Let's make it about us.

Let's make it about love.

What does it mean to lean into your feminine?

For most of my life, I rejected many feminine qualities.

The one in tune to her emotions.

The intuitive nature.

The one who is airy-fairy.

The one who trusts and surrenders.

Being a first born girl, I was automatically born with a leadership role.

I was taught that girls aren't allowed to cry.

I was taught that girls had to be strong and powerful too.

I rejected my periods and was angry every time she came.

I rejected the uncertainty and leaned into all the things I knew to be true.

I wasn't open .

And I suffered for it.

I felt stiff in my body.

My periods were painful.

I was perceived by others to be a bitch.

This didn't feel good.

All that started shifting when I had Nyla 10 years ago.

Now, the majority of my work with women is teaching others what I've learned by leaning more into my feminine.

I'm so much more powerful when I'm confident AND trusting.
When I'm ambitious AND open.
When I'm strong AND flexible.
When I'm rock solid AND in flow.

Being a powerful woman and leaning into our feminine isn't about going from one extreme to the other...

It's about being both and holding both energies and feeling balanced and integrated.

I can be logical and creative.
Scientific and spiritual.

So, there are several ways you can lean more into your feminine, but I'll share just a few simple ways here that I shared on a workshop I led today

1) Be in flow by drinking 3-4L of water/day and drinking less coffee
2) Be in your belly and body use a ball to massage your heart and uterus
3) Rest on your period days and allow yourself to recover

I created a very powerful tool that helps you be aware of where you are in your masculine and feminine energy. This tool will help you be self-aware so you can love yourself, and show up more balanced in your relationships.

If you'd like to access the tool, comment below and I'll send you a dm.

It's not luck that created this life; it's in our daily habits, self-care routines, and family routines

My Monday-Friday schedule is a reflection of how I've curated such a beautiful and perfect life for myself and my family...

Yesterday, was a perfect example

I had a day where I was fully in my feminine energy

I felt free, relaxed, and and my soul was nourished - and it all has to do with how I spend my day and how I show up in the world...

I woke up at 4:44 AM - usually I wake up at 5AM ish

444 is considered to be an angel number that represents clarity, evolution, decisiveness, and stability.

I lay in bed and prayed and meditated for 30 minutes

Then, I connected with Brian for a fiery session in bed...

There's no better way than to wake up and feel connected mind, body and soul with your hubby...

It made me feel safe, stable, and that we can get through anything together...because we have love and passion

Then, we both went for a morning swim and cold plunge

We came back, woke the kids up, and made them breakfast and lunch for camp.

I went to a yoga class at 9:30, came home and showered and started seeing clients from 11AM-3PM

When I'm working with people and holding space for their healing, I am completely in my element

I picked the kids up from camp

Friends came over at our 5PM and we had an amazing dinner - steak, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cake with strawberries and ice cream

We felt so grateful that we have loving friends who are our chosen family

And then Nyla got sick - she had been feeling unwell all day

I did acupuncture with her, cuddled with her and loved her up

Even though I had planped to do an intense sauna session to burn off the calories I consumed, I had to tend to Nyla first

Her being unwell got her little brother to step up and take care of her too...

It also reminded me that my priority is my family and taking care of their well-being

When I get caught up in the stress of paying bills, making money, or growing my business, that's usually when my kids get sick

So, it was a beautiful reminder that my job as their mom is to take care of their health first

Once they fell asleep cuddling with each other, B and I went to the sauna and had deep talks about our future, our roles, and how we are so grateful for this life that we've built together...

We then went back to bed and slept with the kids and cuddled them up..

This is a typical day in our life.

We do veer from this occasionally, and it's always a reminder to go back

We choose our family over everything

It's not luck that created this life; it's in our daily habits, self-care routines, and family routines

There is an under-diagnosed condition called LOA, and it affects 93% of adults, 76% of teens, and 50% of kids as young as 5.

Here are the most common signs and symptoms of LOA.
- weight gain
- fatigue
- restlessness
- digestive issues
- chronic pain
- low immune system
- brain fog
- easily distracted
- anxious
- low libido
- irritable
- low testosterone
- heavy periods

When we live a life based on what others expect from us, or want from us, we have LOA.

When we live based on what we think, and not how we feel, we have LOA.

When we live based on fear, guilt, and obligation, we have LOA.

Can you guess what this condition is?

It's called Living Out of Alignment.

It's always amazing to see that when you start living in alignment, your mind, body, and soul wake up to who you really are - without poppin pills.

You shed weight easily, without working harder.
You have mental clarity
You can eat the foods you love without digestive issues.
You feel healthy and vibrant.
You attract healthy people and situations to your life.
You feel at peace in your body.
You feel calm and confident.
Your passion awakens.

It's actually quite easy to go from LOA to LIA (Living in Alignment)...

If you want to know more about it, then send me a dm...

I'm running a Living in Alignment course LIVE starting this September for 12 weeks. It's back-to-school season, and there's no better way to start the year than being in alignment with like-minded souls.

It'll run from September 7 - November 30 and will start and end with a full-day retreat here.

Send me a dm if you want more details on how to start to Live IN Alignment (LIA).

LOA - LIA
Sept 7 - November 30
2 retreats, 12 weeks

Let's do this together...

Does anyone else have this conspiracy theory? Or is it just us?

In 1975, we went from a 75% rate of having a nuclear family, to a present date rate of 37% ish - so I googled.

In the past 50 years, we know that mental health conditions have skyrocketed - depression, bipolar, narcissism - all of them...

Crime rates, physical illnesses and disease have all gone up too...

So my theory is this...

You break up the family unit - you make more money because people are miserable - paying for health bills, divorce lawyers, and psychologists.

How do you do that?

1) Get women to work
2) Get women to feel ugly
3) Get women to hate men

What are the results?

Divorce rates ++++
Health care bills +++++
Beauty care bills ++++++
Childhood obesity +++++
Childhood illnesses +++++
Childhood transitioning to animals and opposite genders ++++

And no one has any money and stressed...seems like a brilliant plan, doesn't it?

Because they grow up in broken homes, with poor role models, who despise each other. Male and female roles are broken and reversed.

Kids are traumatized at worse, and anxious at best.

In infancy - the agenda advises against co-sleeping because of the fear of S. I. D. S.

Yes, it's a real thing. I'm not arguing that.

But like all other real scary things, the incident of it happening is soooo low, but the fear of it happening is enough to drive parents to reject their vulnerable babies by 'sleep training'.

I'm not judging, because I did it.

I kicked out my daughter at 6 weeks old and had her sleeping down the hall. I thought I was doing a good thing for her.

I traumatized her and us by letting her cry for 3 hours, because the experts told us she would self-soothe and learn to be independent.

Thank goodness, we repaired things by having her sleep with us again when she was 6 months old.

She got sick and we didn't have the heart to sleep train all over again.

And both of our children still sleep with us - to this day at 7 & 10.

Our kids are independent, healthy, athletic, and emotionally intelligent - far beyond most adults we know.

They can have an intelligent conversation with adults;
they can maintain eye contact;
they are aware of their emotions;
they know how and when to apologize;
they know how to take space to feel their feelings;
they take responsibility for their actions;
they are grateful and express gratitude daily

They can do this because they have a strong bond within their nuclear family, and they have loving parents...who have done the work of breaking down societal constructs.

Before, we were kinda messed up (just a little, not totally)
when I lived in my masculine energy and Brian lived in his feminine energy;

I made the money ; bossed everybody around, and cooked and cleaned...

When I clued in to what was happening and we went back to our values and what actually felt good and aligned for our family intuitively... ; instead of listening to 'so-called experts' on how to raise healthy children,

Everything shifted...

Our kids are more independent
They did better in school
They matured

So...if you think I'm crazy...then...

Now you know the truth...

I'm crazy...but I have an amazing, perfect, nuclear family...

I'd rather be crazy and happy...

Then 'normal', sick, and burnt out...

Just sayin...

Do you trust me?

I know we don't know each other that well yet, so it's hard to answer that question, right?

I'm asking because trust is something that is earned through time and repetition.

If I keep showing up consistently for you, supporting you, and giving you value, then hopefully, you will one day let your guard down and trust me.

I will be 100% transparent with you and share with you now that my only agenda is to support you whenever I can - on your journey of trusting yourself.

I don't want the responsibility of 'healing' you.

That's your responsibility.

This is why I run retreats, really.

The retreats I host are an opportunity for you to step away from your everyday life, and go inside of yourself.

You will look inside of yourself for answers.

You will love yourself.

You will heal yourself.

You will grow and expand.

You will let go of your fears and pursue your dreams.

But you can only do that when YOU TRUST YOURSELF.

As I said above, you can start to trust through time and consistent results.

This means you must start with a leap of faith initially...

At some point, we have to take a jump - albeit, a calculated one.

You have to be open enough to attend a retreat - that's your leap of faith.

This is how you can learn to trust yourself.

I'll give you the tools.
I'll hold the space.
I'll support you.
I'll hold your hand.

All you have to do is show up and trust.

Can you do that?

If yes, I'm hosting a mini-retreat July 9th from 10am-3pm.

I'm not going to give you the exact breakdown of the day because, to be honest, every single retreat experience is different.

I free-flow it depending on the energies that show up.
It's always a beautiful experience.

Just know that your questions will be answered and you'll leave here feeling better than you came.

That will require you to just trust.

Can you do that?

If so, comment below with "I trust" and we can get you signed up to the retreat at Beamer Falls Sanctuary

Question: How do you know when you're awake?

When you sleep, are you aware that you're sleeping?

I ask because there are a lot of people who say that they're awake, and I wonder...how do they know they're awake?

When I'm sleeping, I don't know that I'm sleeping until the moment I'm awake.

Sometimes, if my dream is very odd, I start to become aware I'm sleeping, but I haven't quite figured out how to will myself awake.

Other times, I feel I lie awake all night and wonder if I've slept a wink...and then I think about the thoughts I had, and I know that I must've fallen asleep, because my thoughts played out like a movie, and they're unlike my usual thoughts...

Here's my THEORY about being awake...

At least in my experience...

It means that I am feeling my feelings and am in my body, while SIMULTANEOUSLY...observing myself as I'm experiencing this full-body emotional experience WITHOUT judging or trying to change the experience, or wishing it was different....

This is also what REAL LOVE feels like...

This is what TRUTH and FREEDOM look like.

It's pure consciousness and bliss...because we are embodied, present, and loving the moment unconditionally, and not trying to change any of it...

It's an unwaivering, unquestioning belief that what IS is exactly what is supposed to BE...

I run retreats (1-1 and group) to help hold space for these awakening experiences at my home...

Hundreds of people have shared with me experiences like this here...

if you're not sure if you're sleeping or awake, send me a dm...

Some things that may be helpful for you to note...

- If you think you're awake and you're judging people or mad at people who are still sleeping, you're also still sleeping - you're just having the same dream with different people in it

- If you had an awakening, but you don't remember the feeling of being awake, you did wake up and then you went back to sleep (you WOKE up, but you're not AWAKE)

- If you think you KNOW, then you're not awake...

- When you're truly awake, you're open to endless possibilities, and not just one version of a story...The knowing is in the field of dreams...not just in ONE dream...

- And this field is endless...so you can't possibly KNOW it all...

What are your thoughts on being awake?

A woman's job is to keep her family healthy and together.

If this statement boils your blood, please pause and consider why it fires you up.

And if you believe otherwise, please comment below after you read and consider the following:

I believe that women have been disempowered for centuries

When witches were burned at the stake for
- dancing
- using herbal medicines
- and using their intuition to heal families ..that was the Darkness preventing women from rising up

Fast forward to this present day...

To say that a woman's natural job is to use her intuitive feminine powers, to gather, to heal, and to keep families and communities together...

This is a controversial statement...really?!

How did we get here?

How did we get to the point where women are turning on each other fighting for our right to DO IT ALL, get burnt out, and reject the very core of who we are?

Why are we fighting so hard?

We have been lied to and misled into forgetting who we are.
By the same Darkness that has been keeping us down for centuries.

You know what happens when we go out to the battlefield every day to fight for our right to continue fighting?

We go home to our husbands and kids - in the masculine EGO - exhaustion, guilt, and overwhelm

This is why I live here.

This is why I run retreats.

I gave up fighting and embraced my femininity.

I surrendered.

Women, if you're ready to embrace who you are and surrender to mother nature, I'm here for it.

I hold space for it.

If this resonates, please send me a dm or drop me a comment to let me know I'm not the only one who stands for feminine womanhood
