      <image:title>Blog - how small actions can create big change in your life</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are looking to change an aspect of your life, I invite you to start small. Maybe getting a pet doesn’t make sense for you right now, but getting a plant does. Maybe you can buy something you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself or start a new hobby. Hang out with a new person. You are shifting your energy and setting a ball in motion for change. Expressing that you are ready to receive the changes that the universe has in store for you is the first step to living a life that is more authentically yours.</image:caption>

Literally every person who has given birth needs to set aside some time to process the experience. Even if a birth seems to have gone smoothly to others in the room, the birther may still have experienced disappointment, guilt, shame, or trauma at some point during her pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - a quick way to make a great decision</image:title>
      <image:caption>One day while mindlessly scrolling through instagram, I saw a post on Glennon Doyle’s account that caught my eye. It said, “If it’s not a hell yea, then it’s a no.” It was such a perfect phrase to sum up what I try to teach my students and clients about making decisions that are in alignment with our higher purpose and truest selves. Our intuition is always available to us as a decision-making tool, but sometimes we choose to quiet it or ignore it. If you’ve been doing that for a while, then it can be hard to feel like you are in touch with that inner voice at all. People call it all sorts of things—their gut, their intuition, their inner voice. Some even refer to it as God or a specific spiritual teacher. But when we are faced with the bigger decisions in life—the should I marry this person, move my life across the country, quit my job-type decisions, there is a voice to help guide you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - spring cleaning: small changes, big rewards</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spring is in the air, but I challenge you to put down the mop and bucket for spring cleaning and instead think about a space in your home that is not working well for you. A little planning can go a long way for the organization of a space in your home or office. A space that isn't functioning well can be a drain on your time and energy. Get really intentional about what your space is used for. Create a space that inspires and motivates you to do great work or that contribute to your purposeful life. I even included a free printable for you to get organized and create a plan for redesigning a space in your home.</image:caption>
