I had just returned home from a trip to visit family. And I was on the verge of tears talking to my therapist on the phone. I had contracted a horrible cold from a family member. Being sick always makes my mind harder to control. My illness had left me foggy-headed and in this weakened state, I was unable to combat my negative thoughts as easily as I normally can. My usually-pretty-empowered-and-confident-attitude toward life was taking a nosedive. I couldn’t believe some of the words coming out of my mouth. I feel like I don’t even know if my work is actually helping anyone. What if I have been delusional this whole time thinking I actually am helping to change …

My minor obsession started in a small apartment in Paris, with a bathroom so tiny I had to leave the door open for my legs to dangle through as I peed. I liked this bathroom. It made me feel like a sensuous Amazon with long legs. Giantess. Diana.
“I know, isn’t it ridiculous,” said my aunt as she watched me struggling to step out of the bathroom, laughing.  
“Now that you’ve figured that out, I’m going to show you some of the secrets I learned from the chef at Le Cordon Bleu.”
Slowly, I stood over her tiny stove. I stirred and simmered my way through the famous secret recipe for three-mustards sauce. Enjoying the sensuality of watching the spoon cut through the thickening sauce.  
And then we moved on to what would become my obsession.  

This is happiness.
I repeat this over and over in my mind as my body is simultaneously filled with a sensation of stars shooting through my spine and an expansiveness that feels like the holiest of emptinesses.
I am floating with my face to the sky, in a hot tub overlooking the most beautiful view in the world. The caldera of Santorini, as viewed from a traditional canava — a Greek cave house built deep into the heart of the volcano.
Seven years ago, deep in meditation, a vision came to me as a mentor asked me to see where I would be in ten years. A place I had never seen before flooded me. A vision of everything I had ever wanted…

It was no accident that we were all gathering to mastermind on the island of Santorini on the very weekend a man accused of sexual assault was being confirmed to the Supreme Court. My clients were all abuzz about it. Even the ones who don’t live in the US. Womxn from across the globe were watching this situation with baited breath. And yet, I knew deep down in my soul, that this was perfect — that we were gathering during this very tense time for womxn in the US and the world. I had been seeing all the pain and rage it brought up in most of us over the last several weeks. I could feel my own fatigue and …

A long time ago, I dreamed of a very specific place without ever knowing that it was a real place. And I thought to myself, “Someday I’ll be able to make that dream a reality…”. And then I discovered this place WAS real and it was called Santorini. One thing I am always doing is pushing my edges even more when it comes to money, dreaming, and creating big. So, I did just that this week in Santorini and I made my vision from long ago a reality, even if it was at my edge financially. Making this leap is already having incredible effects on how I’m thinking & feeling and I want to share why with you! In this …
