This is part 2 of our post election series where we are focusing on healing and moving forward. We are all living in a culture and society that is steeped in abuse, in little subtle ways and in very big obvious ways. It has destabilized us, making us feel confused, angry, out of control, and […]

How many times do you wake up in the morning and reach for you phone to check emails, social media, and news? By changing this one little habit, we can take control of the way our day plays out and remain grounded in our values. Setting daily intentions right upon waking is like programming your […]
