You don’t need a crisis to awaken.
You can feel fully alive right now.
Come into your breath.
Out of your mind, into your body.
Peace, ease, and oneness are already here.

Remember this today: we are not alone.

In the stillness, we hear our inner voice.

We are always being guided.

What does it really mean to awaken?

After conversations with 23 thought leaders, a pattern revealed itself. Nearly all had been shaped by challenges and experiences that cracked them open.

Awakening didn’t come from effort or striving.
It arrived through letting go.

When we soften into this moment, fear loosens its grip. Guidance becomes clear.
The peace within surfaces.

May we remember our true nature:
an infinite spirit, grounded in love and peace.

This past year was an invitation - to awaken and feel fully alive.

Through so many conversations and perspectives, I heard countless ways of understanding what it means to be alive, to awaken, to truly be here. And one truth kept returning: awakening isn’t something we reach for - it’s presence. Right here. Right now.

It’s remembering who we are beneath the striving - creative, joyful, limitless. No fixing. No pushing. Just a gentle return to the life alive within us.

What if peace was never missing? What if everything you’re seeking has been living inside you all along - beneath the noise, the striving, the doing.

Feeling grateful to be featured in The Wall Street Journal sharing relationship wisdom.

I first learned the concept of “staying in the boat” years ago with a therapist, while navigating the natural ups and downs of relationships.

When discord, disagreement, or unease arises with someone we love, the invitation is to pause. Take a breath. Stay curious. Ask yourself: What’s really happening here?

What’s coming up for the other person isn’t about you. Curiosity brings us into a calm, parasympathetic state - where clarity can surface. Sometimes that means taking a break and returning to the conversation later.

Learning to work with energy boundaries is life-changing. When you stay in the boat, you create space for safety, trust, and deeper connection to emerge.

Thank you to The Wall Street Journal and Elizabeth Bernstein for including me in your annual relationship advice column.

Negative beliefs often serve a specific purpose - to help us survive.
They also point to what’s ready to be healed.

In this conversation, Finnian Kelly shares how we move from the finite version of ourselves to the infinite.
Real change begins within.

Awakening isn’t something we wait for - it begins the moment we choose to live with intention.

Faith isn’t having it all figured out.

It’s trusting the ground beneath you even when you can’t see it.

The ego will always try to take over. All you have to do is notice it, breathe, and return to your center.

I love Finnian Kelly's practice of a devotion document, a simple page on why you live the way you do. When ego jumps in, read it and come home to yourself.

Finnian invites us to live from the inside out through breath, presence, and intentional choices. He has coached leaders across 150+ companies and is known as The Business Mystic. His new book, Intentionality, launched June 2024.

Real change begins within. It starts the moment you choose to live with intention.

Awakening isn't something we wait for - it begins the moment we choose to live with intention.

The fastest way back to aliveness isn’t through understanding—it’s through feeling.

When the body speaks, it’s not asking to be analyzed.�It’s asking to be listened to.

A single question brought decades of stored emotion to the surface—and reminded me where real healing actually happens.

I wrote about this moment in my latest blog.
