 
If I were to pick one intention or resolution or wish for 2025 it would be this:
That each of us do the work needed to make choices from a place of self-love instead of self-hate.
Self-love is connected to an all-encompassing, greater love that includes everything.
Self-hate is connected to an all-encompassing, bigger hate that also includes everything.
So, when you set those 2025 goals, define the steps, and take the actions, ask yourself, “is this coming from a loving place inside of myself or one that is judging, critical, punitive, coercive, or ridiculing?”
Hear what you’re telling yourself. Feel how you’re relating to yourself. Become aware of what narrative is motivating your choices. And if that is in anyway negative, loathing, or uncaring, see it and shift it.
It takes ongoing practice—the seeing and shifting. But it creates permanent change.
You can make the same visible/external choices but motivated from an entirely different place and that changes everything from the micro level of your individual experience to the macro level of how we collectively relate to one another and the world as a whole.
Choose from love instead of hate.🤍

ignite: Say hello to a more intentional and successful life, created with support.
Is it possible to take care of your family, career, and personal well-being? To create a future that is fulfilling financially and soulfully? To rediscover your voice and amplify it in alignment with your values?
What could you accomplish with the right support?
If it feels like more is possible but your time is spent running on a treadmill to nowhere, you are NOT alone. The people in ignite are ambitious, creative, and ready to live more intentionally and purposefully to create their full vision of success.
There is a way to explore new possibilities within a trusted group of your peers.
ignite members learn that a successful life isn’t built by checking off the next achievement. It’s built from the inside out, with intention, support, and community.
Join us for a 12-month professionally guided and facilitated program for seekers looking to create an intentional and successful life surrounded by a community of curious individuals doing the same.
Whether you are looking to shape the vision you already have, create an entirely new pursuit of a purposeful life, or expand your ideas about what is possible — ignite will help you get there.
For one whole year, our meetings take place twice a month, virtually to allow ease of scheduling and are facilitated by our leadership coaches.
--> the first 6 months, you’ll be guided (by ME!) on the journey to create Your Intentional Life through deep exploration of mindfulness, meditation, self-discovery, self-care, and habits & productivity
--> the last 6 months will be a combination of Practical Self-Care, a facilitated practice and integration of caring for your mind and body & Community Connect which focuses on intrapersonal relationship building through talks and guided meetings to build lasting connections
STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS & APPLICATION INFO COMING SOON!
And if you want to be sure you don't miss it, email me!
