We Are All Human

Most people aren’t crazy, they’re just human. I’m human too, and I happen to be a human who truly enjoys learning about the depth and breadth of the human experience.
Many of us could benefit from learning to manage our human experience in healthier, intentional ways that promote growth and personal evolution. When we gain a deeper understanding of our personal experience and our development throughout our lifespan, we can begin to dismantle the unintentional information and beliefs that limit and keep us stuck in the same undesired patterns of thinking and behaving. By utilizing the brain’s neuroplasticity and activating our innate capacity to learn we develop, increase, and strengthen intentional information networks in our brains that generate intentional behaviors. It’s a profound shift from living reactively to creatively.

Live Intentionally

It doesn’t matter what your goals are or what role you are attempting to succeed in. What matters is that you move with awareness and intention and act accordingly! I have many different roles in my life where I hope to succeed: mother, significant other, ex-wife, daughter, sister, friend, therapist, motivator, coach, business owner, thought leader…there is no finish line and my goal is no longer to cross it with a wail of victory and a triumphant fist thrown in the air. My goal is to be aware and intentional in each moment no matter the role, to continue to learn and evolve as a human being and hopefully enjoy the ride!
