She's passionate about you having the right tools to understand the deeper soul truths in your health challenges so you can feel empowered in your body and in your life.
In last week’s episode I shared with you about the phenomenon of Cold Depression. In many ways the Crisis of Authenticity is a very much related topic. Because it’s this state of being alienated from ourselves that has the potential to create debilitating stress in our bodies. Living disconnected from who we truly are, who we are meant to be in this life manifests as chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, emotional reactivity, digestive imbalances and more.
There’s no shortcut to living as your authentic self - it requires a conscious commitment and genuine inner work. This awareness creates the space to shift your consciousness, release subconscious programming and explore a nurturing relationship with yourself.
Living authentically is a dynamic life long journey back to a sense of who and what you really are. It begins with with awareness. I share how the tools of self exploration, along with the technology of Kundalini Yoga and meditation became the path back home to my authentic self.

Learn why you're experiencing chronic busyness yet have a lack of fulfillment, why you feel disconnected from life, struggle with self care, have self sabotaging patterns, a prevailing sense of anxiety, or a loss of meaning in your life. It could be Cold Depression as chronicled in the Kundalini Yoga tradition as the single biggest challenge we face as we enter the Aquarian Age. Cold Depression disconnects us from our spirit, our authentic sense of self, our inner energy system. Navigating the epic change, information overload and unrelenting stress happening today is taking a significant toll on our nervous system. Instead of relying on adrenaline and external sources of energy, it's critical we learn to go within and unleash our own inner energy, which has an infinite reserve.

We know a heck of a lot about eating well, exercising etc.... So why is it so hard to let go of the habits that keep us stuck? Why do we say we want one thing and then go about making sure it doesn’t happen?

You might think it’s a lack of discipline, motivation or self control that causes you to self-sabotage your health goals.

But the truth is behind every problematic behavior there’s a personal payoff on a deeper level. There’s a hidden benefit, something outside of our conscious awareness, underlying the very situations that you say you want to change in your life.
What if there was a way to perceive our shortcomings and setbacks with greater understanding, more compassion and consequently find more creative and effective solutions to taking care of ourselves?
