I have a secret.

I love pink. Black kissed rose-pink makes me swoon. The warmer & softer, the better. The more darkness in the soft sweet surrender the more it calms my soul. It feels like me. The me under the fight, the swears, the rebel and the professional. It's just me.

The me that played tag and hide-and-go-seek and dolls and board games with my siblings. The me that fought hard in Red rover and spent many a summer day playing strategy and war in the bushes with all the neighbourhood kids before gender separated us. The me that dried her mitts off at the fireplace and roasted marshmallows on a cold winter's eve after a long day playing in the winter’s cold. The me that was enamoured watching my mother make pretty cakes and build beautiful artwork out of wood and the me that witnessed my father work hard and lift strong so we could spend time playing. Driving ski-doos and building snowmen, swimming in lakes and barely staying alive learning to traverse steep rock ledges over the lake.

I'm a wild woman and …I just like pink. Like somehow my body knows the color of flesh, of ni***es, baby cheeks, turned on lips and pink swollen parts alive with life. Life and love. I like love. I LOVE pink.

I love pink like I love a warm wild transformative autumn wind and the feel of velvet. I love pink like I love staring into my husband's eyes, my dog, my childhood bunny, all the living beings we share this strange existence with - YOU. I love pink because it reminds me we’re all in this together. We all come from somewhere & we’ll all go back to somewhere. None of us get to stay. Pink soothes me. It opens & fills and speaks truths to me. It makes me, the confident, self-assured, strong-spirited and passionate woman feel like it’s all gonna be ok. You’re thinking “all that from a color?” Yes. All that from a color. Now you know my secret. How about you tell someone yours.

Your psyche is a room waiting to be decorated. Take control. If you think it’s too vulnerable & serious to rescue your heart and transform your life you’re learning from too many movies and listening to too many people who have a limited idea of what’s possible.

I’ve added cushy velvet pillows, organic cotton throws, a slide & swings, quality hot chocolate bar fixed with homemade marshmallows and rich paint to my psychic walls. That’s how I heal my mind and craft my fairytale life. Just because something is serious or heavy, tragic even, doesn’t mean you can’t bring plush to the party and in your senses instead of stressing them.

Fixing & changing your mind can be a beautiful, sensual, rose petal soft kinda process. Bodies are DO forgiving and will open quickly to the idea of feeling and functioning better IF respect, compassion & competency are present … and ZERO judgement.

I got so frustrated witnessing people give their power away to someone who knows better, or worse, hiding from those people who could actually help them that I stubbornly decided to prove there was a better way. Dealing with the mind & changing your life can be easier, faster, smoother & altogether just smarter with some dynamic strategy and a comprehensive understanding of the human soul. Yeah, science matters and certainly nature has laws but, without considering the most ways to heal, change & grow fall short. So I made . She’s everything I needed & wanted to help me heal and own my life. Now she exists for you too. If you want her,

This is the lushest way to paint your destiny and the most gentle steady-as-the-seasons way to own your sacred power I’ve ever found (I’ve searched).

You might not like my ways, mouth that swears like a trucker, my take-me-as-I-am approach or my awkward-sexy-corny-confident self but if you actually treasure presence, connection, kindness & creativity, appreciate empowerment, encouragement & intelligence and care about QUALITY RESULTS that last … then this world was built for you. Please help me spread the word!!!

This is TMI but you’ll thank me for it.

How I got through my very first grown-up trauma/tragedy blend & the 2 hardest weeks of my life.

First in bullets for you on-the-rocks mo-fo’s then more romantically for my Dream Weavers: an or**sm a day, a , crawling around on my hands & knees, scribbling, candles & lullabies (but that’s cause I lost a baby, reproduction & almost bit the dust so you come up with your own “perfect match” for your trauma/tragedy) and obvs, ice cream & broths.

OK Dream Weavers, a velvet touch. I supported my brain’s chemical lab by having an or**sm/day. Or***ms fed my body life & joy, both of which I felt would never be present again. Easy? No. Strategic & kind? Yes. I used my Soul Compass for every waking minute of my days to keep my brain from making cataclysmic conclusions about my future. I made myself, tear soaked face & all, crawl around on my hands & knees for at least 30 minutes a day. Crawling helps “reset” the central nervous system, activates development of the corpus callosum (gets both sides of body working together), helps establish, restore & cement reflexive strength & essentially can tie together your entire sensory system. Finally, crawlings good for boosting self-awareness & a sense of self. All things I would need to stay as intact as possible mentally & physically. I also scribbled my confusing erratic & unbearable emotions onto a bristle board like a 2 yr old toddler using crayons for the first time & lived in darkness lit by candlelight because that’s how it felt in my soul. I also sang my angel babe lullabies for soothing gentle comfort and in truth, I needed it too ( ). And lastly I supported my healing, cut into, traumatised body/soul with fatty sugars in ice cream form & asked for forgiveness from my body by supplementing with mineral rich warm bone broth and chaga- the only three things I could actually stomach those first two weeks.

YOU are the keeper of your life & protector of your . Know how to be the best protector you can be. Comment “Soul Compass” & learn more.

Not even my closest friends know I do this…

I don’t have kids but when I go grocery shopping or into any place that sells children's clothing, I ALWAYS meander through the kids clothes. I start at newborns, imagining what it could have been like. Then I always stop to think for a minute, then find my way towards the bigger kid clothes… “he or she would have been this tall now” I calculate in my head. In my own personal secret garden, the place that exists for me and my heart alone, I take in what could have been, what and who almost was. I imagine different personality traits and preferences, how I would have supported and navigated this person. I smile even though my heart aches and there's somehow magically less air to breath. I forget I just came by to quickly pick something up and move on and my whole world pauses a brilliant quiet momentary pause as I touch what almost was. It fills me in a way no other thing could do.

I used to feel weird about my secret indulgence. I don’t have kids, mine died almost 12 years ago and so no longer exists in this material world. "She should get over it some think", but I don't want to. To the world I’m a woman approaching 50 without kids and a lifestyle that screams freedom. There’s more to it than that though isn’t there? These days I’m proud that I give myself that secret indulgence - “the what if’s and coulda beens”. Browsing through the things my child might need had they made it “topside” quiets the parts of my brain and body that know my husband and I made a child. A child we wanted deeply. It’s like a good feeding for my momma soul that I can nourish and then put to sleep till my maternal instinct wakes again. I’m rarely even around kids stuff these days so it’s not often my sacred indulgence gets an open door to imagination land but, when it does, I take it. Don’t be ashamed of the pain and yearnings that live within your fleshy walls. Paint with them.

I did. I live my life to make my kids proud. I'm proud. Dm me Happy Endings if you want more for yourself.

Healing & Change: What actually IS possible?

This message-in-a-not-bottle is a breadcrumb trail of what’s genuinely possible from my personal experience as a Clinical Hypnotherapist for almost 20 years. And this breadcrumb trail matters because this is REAL life and we’re REAL beings. Plus Moonchild, one day, we’ll all have to leave this Carnival. These success stories are more social proof that your heart & life can feel & be different. These are just a trickle of my favourite stories. They matter to me and they matter to the people who they’re about. That’s what makes them special Do you like storytime?

Think a highly sensitive, ginormous feeling, high neurotic, super self-conscious, f’ed up naive good girl could ever be a bad-ass magical, at peace, unapologetic (still a lil’ f'd up), passion-powered, free, confident-in-her-bare-boned-self woman who goes on to forge her own path of choice & change while successfully leading hundreds of others on a mission to save as many Happy Endings as possible? She can, she did and she’s just getting started. So can all the he’s, the “they them theirs”, and so can YOU. Although it’s quite likely your magical mission will be different from mine (I wonder what yours is).

Before getting too excited though… It helps to know a few things before embarking on a mission. Here’s what I did.

First, I made a protector for my spirit (I called it my Soul Compass). Then I unraveled three things: What I genuinely wanted & needed, who I am, and who I could be and wanted to be. By doing that for myself, wrapping it up in a process, then sharing my tactics with others, I figured out there’s a door to everything you and I ever wanted and still dream of. My system worked (for most people. Some people really hate my style😁). It wasn’t a sombre, boring, stressful, over-the-top scary way of dealing with someone's life & emotions I learned it had to be. It was human centered and results focused.

I helped a famous actress go from feeling apathetic and being used to finding love and ensuring she was treated as more than just a paycheck and a wealthy businessman who struggled with intimacy, show his heart and admit he wanted to be vulnerable and soft and helped him prepare himself to actually drop his guard and take a chance on real happiness. I’ve helped a powerhouse corporate leader who had a childhood full of abuse discover all she really wanted was a shot at childish innocence and helped her see past all the things that money can buy. For the first time she got to feel magic, self-love and the possibility to celebrate her body instead of punishing and controlling it. I’ve helped a divorced passionate Italian Goddess raised by a pastor who was failing terribly at motherhood and grieving the dreams of her younger self to rescue her sweet child's future and her own, and I’ve helped an already successful entrepreneur to connect to and realize her own magic and weave a life with a sweetly sparkling happiness she didn’t even realize was possible.

I helped a bold-hearted, independent, self-driven girl who always believed in after she cracked and broke apart like the milky way from betrayals and loss actually Become Something More. More than she ever knew she could be. More than she ever knew she could do. More than she ever knew she could feel. Her rising, albeit shaky and scary at times, continues.

I don’t write this because I believe in possibility. I write this because I know Possibility like an engineer knows logic or like the Goblin King knows the way in Labyrinth. 20 years and hundreds of Happy Endings saved (including one I never thought I could rescue, my own) and I’m living proof that magic is real. Comment “mission Happy Endings” and I’ll dm you more info on how you too can rescue your Happy Endings.

I’m a bitter resentful powerhouse of awkward deliciousness.

In all seriousness, I never really thought I could be unhappy. I would’ve never let myself be. I’ve been sad, broken-hearted, danced in storms of rage but not unhappy. I didn’t think it was possible.

Getting to know unhappiness was like befriending the grim reaper. I found a whole other side of life & myself I didn’t know I could touch. Actually the more unhappiness I felt the more choice I realized I had. I learned I wasn’t in choice. I was in expectation, obligation, duty and sheer luck even, but not choice.

When I first began to notice I was unhappy I was angry & scared. But I keep my doors open to ghosts & goblins. I keep hot tea on the wood-burning stove in the lush forest cabin of my psyche that’s stuffed full of velvet pillows. My unhappiness has been a great guide - letting me be more honest with myself than I’d ever been about how I felt deep inside & what I really wanted in life & living.

And upon some curious investigations, I realized I’m not unhappy, but I don’t like my life RIGHT NOW. I am happy, thrilled actually. I’m powerful, feel more REAL than I ever have (Velveteen Rabbit & Pinocchio after the fairy real), birthed a body of work that proved to my own inner girl that people can change & tapped into any grit & soft surrender that ever was in the universe to dream into existence an entire world for myself & other dreamers - The Truffle Box. Through betrayal & heartbreak, babe & reproductive loss & almost dying, a marriage that asks me to grow every freaking day, I manifested my childhood dreams. I’ve spun magnificent spells & crafted powerful equations. I used them for myself & others. How? By first admitting I wasn’t happy then uncovering what I really wanted - The deep kept-in-the-secret-garden stuff. And it wasn’t what I thought. How’d I find out? Happy Endings. The only Map & Guide I’ve ever found that walks someone through their own souls Enchanted Forests into Possibility. Let the ghosts and goblins in. Be honest. You deserve to. Save your Happy Endings.

Embracing your unique blend of qualities can be a remarkable journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Being a "bitter resentful powerhouse of awkward deliciousness" suggests a deep, complex character filled with intriguing contrasts. It’s important to recognize that everyone carries a mix of strengths and challenges. By acknowledging and appreciating these facets, you can harness the powerhouse within to transform bitterness and resentment into powerful motivators for growth and change. Embrace your awkwardness as a delightful quirk that makes you authentic and relatable. Remember, the most compelling stories often arise from unexpected and deliciously awkward tales woven together with resilience and strength. Use this unique combination to carve out your own path and inspire others along the way.

Rescue your Happy Endings. Now you can with more ease, sweetness & speed than ever before. There's SO much more to you and your potential than you know! Interested? Comment “Mission Happy Endings”. I’ll dm you.

Highly sensitive, neurotic or anxious? Give me a chance. There's hope...

Keep in mind when reading this I’m a Hypnotist who’s spent thousands of hours in people's minds and has a stellar reputation cause I actually get results (and really care). Also, I too am both highly sensitive and high neurotic (Big 5/OCEAN personality test).

A hack that’s not meditation > Meditation Is a common strategy for highly sensitive/high neurotic/highly anxious people. I love it & highly value mediation for so many reasons. BUT, I found for myself and countless others whose bodies function more like mine that meditation isn’t dynamic enough to match & catch the crazy that can occur in our brain & bodies & as such, can end up elevating stress even more (which feels awful).

I think the aforementioned traits underlie potentially significant benefits to our overall social structure & also have a severe obsession with decreasing what I believe is unnecessary suffering. Because of that I found a way to teach my body to create a spacious feeling quiet, calm & clarity when I need it most without having to force myself to master meditation and fight against or numb out my body.

Instead I learned to pick out symbols, significant to my psyche for unique & specific reasons & to train myself instead to match & catch the overall experience of said symbol. I baptised them as “Possibility Anchors”.

And I managed to learn to soothe & steady my state & taught others to do the same, in ways that respect, honour & show dignity to the traits within some of us that can be really hard to live with in this society. I was able to channel the often uncomfortable “states” that can occur within us into usable energy (as opposed to getting drowned in overwhelming and uncontrolled feedback). In the end I accidentally tapped into the bits of these traits (sensitive, neurotic & anxious) that hold skill, power and knowing. An unsuspecting bonus to my commitment to find a kinder way to work with bodies & souls. A human-centered approach. Pm me to learn more.

You can fail & show up covered in mud & cobwebs and still be an absolute blessing to this planet & others.

This woman. Earthy & calm feeling, like a forest of towering cedars & pines, but passionate & hot like fire. Meet Joanna Ferris. This wild woman, mother, divorcee, struggling, angry, inspiring, devoted & plain human, is one of my favourite women. She doesn't have it easy, life, healing & growing are painful for her, and yet, and yet, the love & tenderness she carries in her heart for the world & its beings is palpable.

Joanna was the first person I invited to train with me personally. She's shown up to train over the last 5 years exhausted, crying, doubtful, raging mad & hopeless. She wasn't able to see that every time she came, she still sparkled. Something more within her walked her to her kettle, made tea and opened her computer to attend class.

She's been honest & transparent, kind, considerate & supportive. I've watched her, the second person that will graduate from Fairygodparent Training, build wisdom, skill, maturity, courage & strength & above all, her capacity to love & show up for herself & son.

She's a true Fairy Godmother cause she knows love's a verb. It's a choice & not an easy one sometimes. I'm proud to have her as a contributor to The Truffle Box because she cares deeply about honoring the job of Fairy Godmothering as the gift that it is and, she cares about me too & sees me not only as a master at my skill, a friend & kind mentor but, she sees me as an ordinary girl like her who's trying. That's what makes our world extraordinary. There's no pretending here. There's magic enough to go around with us just being as we are & taking an honest shot at living our best lives & selves.

In my course Happy Endings, stop #3 in the Quest is called "Something More" with a teaching concept to go with it called "The Grinch's Heart" and she is the perfect example of what I mean.

Soon she too will be facilitating Happy Endings & if you wish to save your Happy Ending & you get the chance to be guided by her, take it. She wrote you a letter. I'd read it > comment "failing forward". xo
