"With intuition, it's soft and subtle. It can be easy to put it aside. Worry and anxiety are much louder."
All in Psychology and Wellbeing
In the Shadow of the Moon: Making Sense of Menopause (with Susan Willson, CNM)
"I really like to remind women 'this is your time'. Claim your space. Claim your joy. Put pleasure back into your life and start to whittle away at some of the things you just do because you've been told you gotta do 'em".
Nourishment + Wellbeing (with Marie Murphy, MS, RDN, CSSD)
"I like to help people think of the gut as a garden. You have to not just put the seeds in the ground but you have to have the right soil, you have to put the right nutrients in place."
Emotional Regulation + Wellbeing (with Jemma Schwartz, LCSW)
“It's about these little moments and choices. It's about once again, again, and again, and again, noticing where we're at and choosing to meet our own needs.”
How to Be a Grief Ally (with Aly Bird)
"Give the person that you love the permission, the empowerment, and the respect for the emotional experience that they are having because of their loss."
Nourishment Through Our Seasons (with Holly Shelowitz)
"There are things that can happen along this continuum that we get can to a point in peri-menopause or menopause that our body needs a lot more nourishment, sustenance, and emotional support."
Sex, Sexuality, + Wellbeing, Pt 2 (with Irene Morning, Somatic Pleasure Coach)
"We have cultural scripts that give us roles based on every aspect of identity and all of that impacts how am I relating to what I enjoy. I am always comparing how I feel internally with how I feel I should be doing externally. And that’s not really based in “what do I like”?".
Sex, Sexuality, + Wellbeing, Pt 1 (with Theresa Hitchcock, Certified Sex Educator)
"When my emotional needs are being met, I'm much better as a physical human being."
Mindfulness as a Life-Wise Skill (with Jenna Martin)
“You start to realize that the things you’re habitually doing may be causing more suffering and how can you love yourself more, how can you nurture yourself more, so you can start to change that relationship with yourself.”
Enneagram for Wellbeing (with Margaret Rizzuto)
"Any tool that you can give someone that helps them look at themselves through a lens of understanding and compassion can only be helpful."
I'm Scared + Doing It Anyway (with Lauree Ostrofsky, PCC, CPC)
"It’s doing what works for us in order to allow ourselves to move to the next place and to feel empowered and confident about that. I think fear is part of that. It’s our relationship with fear that allows us to determine our own destinies."
Self/Care/Taker (with Kara Bucci, LCSW)
"Not only is it difficult for the person going through their mental health concern, but it's also really difficult to be a witness; and to not have the floor to say, "Oh, this is hard for me, too."
Paths Toward Healing the Self (with Sharon Rosen)
"Some of the greatest healing comes in when you can sit in the middle of the paradox, of two seemingly opposite things, and simply be with it.
It is this, and, it is that."
Finding the Stillness (with Vienna Costanzo-D'Aprile, LMHC)
“Having your own spirituality is a connection to your Self, Capital S, or connection to your own spirit or soul and also connection to something greater than ourselves.”
Tarot + Wellbeing (with Dana Cooper)
"I'll come to my deck, too, with more specific questions sometimes, or if I'm going through something and need a little bit of guidance. It really is just such a beautiful tool for self reflection, and a little bit of extra hand holding and guidance, when you feel kinda stuck."
Intention + Wellbeing (with Merritt Minnemeyer, PCC, CPC, ELI-MP)
"At the end of the day, intention and identity are about what we decide, and about what we choose. I think it is the most important intersection."
