Earlier this month, in the days after the election and before we had results, I released an article on Medium called: Cancel Culture has divided us. What we need is Conversation Culture. Since that time the article has picked up steam, with now over 2.1k "claps." Read the article here on Medium to add your own claps, or continue on below for the full text, to learn what we can do to shift paradigm and step into Conversation Culture...

It’s 2020 and we are polarized....

Have you ever been totally nervous to share something? Because I am today! I had all the excuses about why I should just send another warm up video in my weekly newsletter and save this announcement for next week/next month/next year.

But then I realized that I have a super unique opportunity. Because I can actually model the content of my new project at the same time as I share my news.

I’m going to use the framework from my “How To Speak Your...

Here it is, the Conclusion video of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course!

I'm going full-on philosophical with you today in this final video of the course (the thoughts I'm sharing are specifically derived from Vedic philosophy). I know that what I'm saying is controversial, so see if you agree...

My argument is that though there may be a sort of absolute "Truth" (with a capital T) embedded in our universe, we as individuals don't get to decide what that is. The...

We've arrived at the seventh and final step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course: Communication. This is the part of the process when you actually go back and forth with the outside world!

As amazing as it would be to live in a vacuum where nothing external influences us, that's definitely not reality. There are always others around us who have their own sensations, thoughts, emotions, and desires too. So how do we actually converse?

To understand how, I...

I'm singing Madonna right now because you know, you know, you got to... express yourself!

That's right friends - we're back with the sixth step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course and this is the big one: Expression!

Over the course of the first four steps of the How To Speak Your Truth process, we identified our truth by paying attention to our sensations, thoughts, emotions, and desires. In the fifth step we took a moment to pause and come back into contact with the outside...

Okay we're back with the fifth step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course - in this one we're gonna talk about the Pause.

Up to this point, everything we've done (tuning into our Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, and Desires) is about connecting to our internal world. It's about discovering our inner truth... what I like to call the Embodiment process.

The pause is so crucial, then, because it's the spacious gap where we reconnect with the external world. And...

Welcome to the the fourth step of the How To Speak Your Truth mini-course - in this one we're gonna talk about desire.

You can determine your desire by asking yourself the answer to the question: what do I want right now? But if you're like most other humans, chances are that you have trouble answering that question a lot of the time. (Um, hi me too ‍)

As humans we are designed to be tapped into, expressing, and pursuing our deepest desires. They point us in the direction...

Hey friends, let's talk about our emotions. Do you allow yourself to experience your emotions freely? Do your stop yourself from having big feelings? Do you even know what your emotions are most of the time? 

Identifying your emotions is a super important process. Because emotions are sneaky - if you don't acknowledge them, they have a tendency to sabotage your ability to speak your truth. We've all done some version of saying "I hate you"...

It's time for the next video in the How To Speak Your Truth series! Last installment we learned about sensations, and in this second step you’ll learn how to identify the thoughts swimming around in your brain

Now, the thoughts we're looking for in this process are objective. So you're going to want to stay as fact-based as possible in this step. A useful prompt is: What circumstances do I think led me to feel these...

Welcome to the beginning of the Speak Your Truth mini course. Today we're diving into step one of the framework: Sensations. 

Our body is the first place to start when we're trying to figure out: "What is my truth right now?" That's because every cell of our body has its own individual intelligence, and these cells are the source of our intuition and impulses. So when we start paying attention to all the cells and groups of cells in our body...
