If you’re stuck, now’s the time to fire up your neural network!

One of the things our unconscious minds do best is to keep us “safe.”  We are hard-wired for survival, so our unconscious minds will go to great lengths to protect us.  Unfortunately, staying “safe” may entail keeping us “stuck.”  We d...

I know it’s been quite some time since you’ve heard from me, but all I can say is that it’s been quite a year! In May of this year, I announced to the world via Facebook that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's, a form of hypothyroidism. A friend of mine told me of all the illnesses anyone could g...

Maybe you haven’t missed my newsletter for the last 2 weeks, but I have!  I’ve been insanely busy these past few weeks.  I’m not complaining…but sometimes it gets in the way of writing my blog.  I added teaching two 6-week courses to my schedule.  The courses are 2 hours each, so by the time I prepa...

In 7 weeks, we’re moving…again. After living in 2 places for about a year, we moved to our current home full-time in October.  We combined two complete households back in October, thinking we had done the right thing for us...but instead, we find ourselves frustrated with our situation. 

The though...

So…I missed blogging last week.  Not because I didn’t wanna…I just overbooked and overworked myself.  And then I found myself having to make an important decision.

Years ago, I created a rate-a-date spreadsheet to help me decide who was good for me to date and who wasn’t.  Yes, I could’ve blindly f...

When I was about 11-12 years old, I was being bullied. I told my dad about it. He shared with me how he grew up with a bum leg due to polio, making him a target for bullies as a result. Thanks to being on crutches for muc...

2021 is wrapping up, and the beginning of 2022 is just days away. Congratulate yourself on all your accomplishments in 2021, whether 2022 was a breeze or your toughest year ever. All that matters is you got through it, so celebrate your successes and be proud!

While you’re in this positive state of...

So, this might be one of those blog posts for myself again.  While I think I do an amazing job for my clients with hypnosis, every now and then, I come across a personal situation that throws my unconscious mind into a downward spiral.  I tell my clients, “There’s a reason why brain surgeons don’t o...

I was at a Christmas party this past week, and one of my friends broke down and started crying. She is having a tough time this holiday season. She’s reached out to her children, and they have not returned her calls. She asks herself, “Why don’t they call me?” “Why are they behaving this way?” “Why ...

I’m tired of COVID-19. There, I said it. After two years of masks, vaccines, quarantines, and “science,” we are no closer to “flattening the curve” than we are to seeing Dolly Parton wear an AA bra. I’m not going to quote all kinds of life and death stats, survival percentage rates, and why you shou...

The life I am living right now is very different from the life I had less than 6 months ago. And that’s very different from the life I had a year ago. And that’s very different from the life I had 2 years ago, 5 years ago, and 10 years ago.

I’ve had to make some tough choices about the direction my...
