Whether you’ve lost a loved one, your child is off to college, or you’re facing any deep loss, the pain of grief is real and intense.

Grief is a deep emotional response to loss. It can manifest as sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, and loneliness.

Everyone’s grief is unique, but it often feels like a profound sadness that’s hard to escape.

Types of grief include the loss of a loved one, loss of an animal, empty nest syndrome when the kids are all out of the house, loss of a relationship or divorce, aging and health decline, or even being fired from a job.

Grief doesn’t always come from death; it can arise from any significant loss.

So, how do we tend to ourselves when we are in grief?

💔 Allow yourself to feel
👥 Seek support from loved ones or a therapist / counselor
💤 Practice self-care: eat well, get enough sleep, move gently
⌛ Give yourself time—grief isn’t linear
💐 Create rituals or memorials to honor the loss and find closure

And how do we offer our support when someone we know or love is grieving?

We can acknowledge their loss, hold space for their pain, and ask how you can help, even if it’s just listening. (Pro tip? Avoid trying to “fix” their grief.)

Grief a journey that we all experience in our own way, and it can be overwhelming.

In my recent podcast episode, I take a dive deep into what grief really is, how it feels, and how we can tend to ourselves and others during these challenging times.

If you or someone you love is going through grief, I encourage you to listen in: theadultchair.com/podcasts/420

Let’s navigate this together. ❤️

Does standing up for yourself make you a b%tch?

A friend recently asked me this when she was struggling to assert her needs at work and with friends. My answer? Absolutely not.

We all have the right to speak up for what we want and need.

But here’s the thing—if you feel guilty or hesitant, it’s probably because your boundary isn’t fully embodied.

A boundary isn’t just a mental note; it has to come from deep within you.

When my friend asked if she was being too harsh by setting boundaries, I told her: "People won’t hear you if your boundary is just in your head. It has to be in your body, fully aligned with your truth."

When you speak from this place, you don’t need to raise your voice or get angry.

You simply state your truth with confidence and clarity.

And guess what? People listen. They respect you, and they don’t push back.

Next time you need to set a boundary, take a breath. Drop into your body, get clear on what you need, and then speak up. You’ll be amazed at the shift it creates.

Own your truth. Own your space. And watch how the world responds.

Drop a ❤ in the comments if you agree! 🙌

Do you ever feel that you’re just going through the motions of life? Like something critical is missing, but you’re not sure what?

We hustle through our jobs, rush through our lunch breaks, speed through our commute, and do it all again the next day—rarely stopping to ask if this really brings us passion, purpose, and fulfillment.

We spend our lives tending to “shoulds” and “have to’s” rather than reaching for the people and opportunities that light us up and bring us joy.

But what if you could change all that?

What if I told you there was a place, a space, a sanctuary that could break the cycle of burnout and restore a sense of purpose and meaning to your days?

✅ Access to world-renowned experts with live Q&As
✅ Quarterly courses to uplevel every area of your life

If you’re ready to uncover the real you...

Ready to reclaim your time and start living the life you were made for instead of the life everyone else wants for you…

Then there is a place for you in The Academy of Awakening, and I’d love to invite you inside.

There is so much magic that happens in the present moment.

Our ego – the part of us responsible for pulling us into the future, and pushing us into the past – is constantly trying to “figure things out”, activating the inner critic, the inner judge, the inner fraud…

When you decide to truly BE in the moment, you would not believe the downloads you get! And with the awareness we have in the moment, there is so much more healing that can occur. There is so much more peace and joy you can access!

Being in the moment activates our consciousness, awakening our true self. But while the moment is the best place to be, we still have to choose it. We have to commit to it.

So, I invite you to join me here in this moment.

Take a deep breath, right now as you’re reading this post. Notice how your body is feeling. Notice all your senses. Notice the scene around you. How does it feel, to just be?

Then, take it one step further: when you’re taking your evening stroll or cooking your next meal, allow yourself to fully relax into the moment again. Practice focusing your present-moment awareness and see if you can begin to feel the peace, and the joy, the longer you sit there!

If your thoughts begin to stray – off to the next conversation you’re planning to have with your partner or that “urgent” email from your boss or even what you need to pick up from Costco this weekend – do your best to notice the thought, and gently let it float away.

Let me know how it goes. You’ve got this! ❤️

This might be shocking to hear but…

We attract the perfect partner for us. Every time. And while relationships affect our happiness, that’s not the core purpose they serve – as Eckhart Tolle reminds us.

Relationships help us experience and know our own wounding, and the baggage that we brought into the relationship.

The partners we attract are a perfect match, because we have a set of beliefs we picked up from a young age about ourselves and what we expect in a partner!

The truth is, relationships show us where we need to do our work, and they are the PERFECT platform for our own personal growth, not just happiness.

Drop a ❤️ if you agree!

Friends – I’ve been seeing a LOT of dragonflies lately. 🧚‍♀️

What about you? What symbols do you see time and time again?

For me, everything I see in the world is a sign––everything carries a message if we pay attention. I don’t take any of it for granted.

For the past few weeks, one of those signs has been the dragonfly, which – according to many cultures – is often seen as a visit from a deceased loved one, much like cardinals.

I remember seeing multiple dragonflies a day, just before my dear Maya passed away. ❤️

But the symbolism doesn’t stop there.

Dragonflies are also known to represent living in the present moment, and the ability to see the true nature of situations.

Some believe that dragonflies bring financial prosperity, good luck, and improved investments, with ties to feng shui. 💸

In Mayan folklore, the dragonfly is associated with the goddess of creativity, Ix Chel.

There are so many gorgeous interpretations: I have read about dragonflies signifying spiritual awakening, growth, strength, courage, flexibility, self-actualization, happiness, transformation, prosperity, harmony, lightness, and insight…

All of which I welcome into my life, each time I observe one of these beautiful creatures.

As you go into your weekend, I invite you to look beyond the 11:11 or 2:22 you might see on the clock, or the hawk that flew overhead during your walk. And instead of seeing this as a coincidence, go deeper and reflect upon your life and see them as symbols with deeper meaning.

The truth of it is, nothing happens by coincidence. There is divinity in all, and if we pay attention, we realize how connected we are to all things, seen and unseen and what an incredible universe we are part of.

Allow yourself to be taken with childlike wonder and fascination this weekend and pay attention to everything. Ask yourself, “What is the message here?” Could it be a deceased loved on, a spirit guide or an angel trying to get my attention?

Let me know what signs from the universe are showing up for you right now! So much love to you all!
