I’m pretty sure I have no idea.
And that’s not a problem, it’s actually your doorway to freedom.🙌

The mind resists that.
It wants to know.
So it makes something up…and then believes it.

That’s where anxiety comes from.
Not from life…from the story we tell ourselves about life.😵‍💫

When you can’t tolerate not knowing, it turns into fear. When you can be with uncertainty…everything shifts.

You come back to presence.
This is beginner’s mind.

It’s the willingness to meet this moment without needing to already have the answer. To stay open instead of rushing to figure it out.

You can access that by practicing the mantra:
I’m pretty sure I have no idea.

So when a thought comes…
let it be a drop of water.
Watch it come and let it go.
Otherwise, with your attention, it becomes a thought stream that takes you somewhere you don’t want to go.😫

You don’t have to figure it out.
Simply come back to what’s actually here.🧭

In a world that won’t stop talking… choose stillness.🌕

Even as everything pulls at your attention, stillness becomes a radical act.

Under this full moon, come back to the quiet within. That’s where your freedom is.
That’s where you remember who you are.🪞

Sit.
Breathe.
Listen.

There is a part of you that has always been free. 🕊️

If you want to anchor into this tonight…

Libra Full Moon Ritual♎️:
Write what you are ready to release for more balance in your life on bay leaves and burn them. Post burn, sit in meditation and repeat the mantra So Hum for 5-20 mins.

Trust what falls away.🍂

You haven’t forgiven it.

You’ve just learned how to live around it.😶‍🌫️

Until something small happens…
and suddenly you’re right back there again.

Same reaction.
Same feeling.
Same story.

That’s not weakness.
It’s an unfinished file.💔

Forgiveness isn’t about saying it was okay. It’s about freeing yourself from carrying it.

So the next time you feel activated, try this:
Pause.
Breathe.
Ask: Where’s love and forgiveness?

Send it to the moment.
Then gently bring it back to yourself.
That’s where the shift happens.
That’s where your power returns.

What does this bring up for you? ⬇️

Yesterday we said goodbye.✨

Spring break college tours with my daughter were fast, full, and meaningful.

Virginia, New Orleans, Nashville.
College tours, music, incredible food…
and all the energy that comes with mom–daughter time.

The best part was watching Chloe discover what fits and what doesn’t. It was an honor to watch her get in touch with who she is becoming.

It was so nice to feel the positive energy everywhere…especially in a world that feels so heavy right now.🎺

And on our last night in Nashville, we saw a couple dancing in the street to “You Are My Sunshine.” One of those spontaneous moments that lifts your heart and lingers.🥰

So here’s your reminder to be spontaneous, explore yourself, listen to live music, connect with loved ones, and follow what feels right.

And if you can…dance with someone you love. 🕺🏼💃🏼 (watch the last video)

I am so grateful for this time we had together. Chloe, I love you. You are definitely my sunshine.☀️

The Spring Equinox is a threshold.🪞

A quiet turning point
where light meets shadow…
and asks you to choose again.

Where have you given your power away?

In resentment.
In old stories.
In what you’ve been avoiding.

Bring it into the light.✨

Because your power is still there, waiting in the space between reaction and response.

This is your time to reclaim it.⚡️

This is the way through.⚡️

There is something sacred about women gathering.💗

Yesterday we gathered for our annual girlfriends lunch. A tradition that reminds me how deeply friendship nourishes the soul.

I felt especially touched reflecting on the women who are no longer here, and how the gift of gathering together is never something to take for granted.

Listening. Laughing. Loving each other through the good times and the hard ones.

Thank you to everyone who came and filled the room with so much heart. This year was even more special to share it with both of my kids, who happened to be home this week!🥰

Most couples break up in Stage 2 of a relationship.💔

Not because love is gone.
Because the masks come off. 🫣

Old attachment wounds surface. Conflict feels threatening, which can cause distancing and misunderstanding to rise. Discomfort gets mistaken for incompatibility.

Yet this stage is often the doorway to real intimacy.

The couples who last aren’t the ones who fight less. They’re the ones who learn how to repair.❤️‍🩹

Understanding the stage you’re in can change everything.

Does stage 2 feel familiar… and have you ever found your way back through repair?🛟

Be the Calm Amidst the Chaos.⚓️

Here is a simple, yet profoundly powerful tuning tool you can use whenever you feel out of whack.

With all the chaos in the world, bring your attention inward… towhat you can actually work with.

Your inner landscape.🌊

Using ancient resonance and sound with your body helps align the chakras and regulate your system, bringing you back into balance… back into presence.

Comment CHAKRA and I’ll send you my free handout.

Mercury goes retrograde today at 10:48am PST. This retrograde in Pisces lasts from Feb 26 – Mar 20. 🔁

We are in between two eclipses right now, so it can feel intense and confusing. Add Mercury retrograde, and things can feel even more disorienting.

Retrogrades are a time to review and reflect, so let’s remember the energies now at play.

Saturn entered Aries on 2/13.
The Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on 2/20 is reshaping structure in ways we couldn’t access before.

Now Mercury turns inward in Pisces.
This is a season of not-knowing.
Less certainty. More sensing.
Less forcing. More listening.

Today we also have Mars square Uranus, which can amplify intensity, urgency, and unpredictability in the body and nervous system.

As we move toward the March 3 lunar eclipse in Virgo, be aware that what has been hidden begins to show itself. For now, stay close to your body.
Let it be your anchor.

Try this mantra:
“I can be with this.”⚓️

Not everything needs to be solved. Some things are here to be felt… and allowed to unfold.

What helps you stay grounded when life feels unclear?
