Hello! I'm still riding high from last weekend. My hometown library invited me back to speak about the book. Two of my elementary school teachers were there, some family, and my very first friend ever, Wendy, surprised me in the crowd. We grew up riding bikes back and forth between each other's houses, and I hadn't seen her in years. I left with the kind of warm feeling that stays with you for days. This week's episode is a little different, I reached back into the mailbag and answered three...

Greetings! Confession: I have a stack of storage bins sitting in my bathroom right now that don't fit on the shelf I bought them for. I saw them at the store, thought "these are cute and I clearly need bins," and bought them without ever actually measuring the space. Classic. So when I sat down to record this week's episode with Julianna Strickland of Space Camp Home Organizing, and she said the number one mistake people make is buying organizational products before they've measured, sorted,...

Hello! I started this week's episode of Feng Shui Living a little differently than usual, with a story that illustrates just how much our surroundings matter. I'd just come from one of those walk-in lab places...you know, the ones where you go to get blood drawn and then you're on your way. Except this one was... a lot. Nine people crammed into what I can only describe as a closet. Three chairs. No music. Beige walls. A room full of cranky people who were absolutely feeding off each other's...

Hello! This week I had a consultation with Becky from Iowa. We've worked together a few times before and I always enjoy connecting with her. You know what? It really got me thinking a lot about my upbringing, growing up in Iowa, and how my deep connection to nature really helped me find this special work. Today's episode is a little different... and honestly, it's one I've been wanting to record for a while. I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing some of the nudges that helped me find my...

Hello! I recently had Stephanie Denson on the podcast, and I found myself thinking about our conversation for days afterward. She's the founder of Spirit and Space, a professional organizing company, and what struck me most wasn't her tips on decluttering, it was her approach to the emotional side of letting go. Stephanie shared a story about a client named Sue who was ready to move to a senior living community. She had found the perfect apartment. But when it came time to downsize, she felt...

Happy, Sunny Day! Wow… life has felt really exciting lately. I just got back from a trip to Canada for a mini book tour, and I have to say...I met some of the most amazing women. The kind you just know you’ll never forget. I'm so grateful for the wonderful woman who helped me organize the festivities - Magda, thank you! On my way home, I found myself reflecting (as I tend to do on long trips)… and while I’ve loved some of the deeper, more introspective episodes lately, I could also feel the...

Happy, Sunny Day! I hope your week is going well so far! I'm excited to share that I'll be in the Toronto area for book events Thursday through Sunday. If you're in the area please reach out. Always love to meet my listeners in person! After more than a decade of offering energy work in homes, yoga studios, offices, and clinics around the world, this past week brought a first for me… I worked on a barn in Maine. It was a space with many layers and quite a bit ready to shift, and I’m happy to...

Greetings! I’ve seen some pretty interesting Feng Shui “cures” over the years. Everything from a bowl of rice sitting on the back of a toilet… to mirrors placed in the most unexpected places… to objects tucked into corners that no one can quite explain. And usually when I ask about them, the answer is something like, “I saw it online…” or “I read somewhere that this was good Feng Shui.” Now, there’s often a reason behind these suggestions and intention does really matter. But, I believe we...

A Bright Hello! I’ve been noticing something lately in a lot of homes… Rooms that look really good… but don’t feel right. A client said to me recently, “I don’t know what it is, but something feels really off.” And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that there’s always a reason. Sometimes it’s the layout. Sometimes it’s clutter. Sometimes it’s that the space no longer matches the season you’re in. Your home should evolve as you do and that's what this week's podcast episode is all about....
