Whatever you think and feel has a vibration. Whatever vibration you carry is what you attract.

Thoughts are simply energetic patterns that can manifest into reality. […]
Bone loss and bone weakening is a major concern for many women especially when getting older.

Menopause is a birthing process that, when embraced consciously, will help us transform into the powerful, authentic wise elders that our society needs so badly. In other words, menopause is an opportunity for women to transform into wise crones. Many women dread menopause. They dread the hot flashes, night sweats, gaining weight, mood swings, hormonal […]
In the US, 1 in 5 women of childbearing age do not have children. That is a significant 20%. Given the historic role as women as mothers and the fact that a woman’s body is designed to create life, it is still tough for many women to swallow being childless. Emotions may go wild. […]

If you are like most people eating healthy and well is high on your new year’s resolution list. Is it? That’s not surprising.

This is a practical episode about food to help you stay on the bandwagon of healthy eating during the winter holidays. For most of us, winter holidays mean lots of cookies, home-baked goods, many parties and lots of alcohol. And with it comes what? You guessed it, tight fitting pants and a sluggish, heavy digestion. […]
Holidays and celebrations feed our soul. They are a way for us to honor the abundance of earth and connect with friends and family. On the downside, the holidays present us with tons of temptations. Think cookies, home baked sweets, elaborate feasts. Can you already feel your pants getting tighter just thinking about it? And […]

We are talking about clothes of all things. What me? Yes. That’s right. Clothes and everything that comes with it, shoes, accessories, jewelry is important to many women. Period.

Most of us have no concept around what it means to invest in ourselves. You may have invested in your career or maybe in a house but have you truly invested in yourself? I venture to say that most people SPEND on themselves but not INVEST. Hahh? What’s the difference? You will find out in […]
Divorce suck but life doesn’t have to. Getting divorced is not a failure. Getting divorced can be a massive opportunity for growth. There are no mistakes in life. There is only lessons learnt.

Elise makes bold claims on the front flap of her book Superager. She says: You can look younger, have more energy, a better memory, and live a long and healthy life. First of all, what in the world is a superager? And how come she feels so confident about claiming that we can all be […]
Finding your feminine essence in a masculine world is not an easy feat. It’s a discovery, it’s a curiosity.

Menstruation is one […]
18% of the US population suffers from generalized anxiety. That’s almost 1/5 of the population. That’s huge.

I had severe anxiety in my early to mid 20s, too. So did Jamie. […]

What is health. No really, what is it? We throw around the term all the time. You probably wish for abundant health at major junctions in your live. At birthdays, new year, whenever someone asks you. But do you ever stop to think what it really means to be well and what it all […]

Almost 60% of Americans make new year’s resolutions but only 9% feel they are successful in achieving them (from Statistic Brain). This number is way too low for my taste.

Menopause marks the death of your old Self and rebirth of your new Self. It is a pivotal portal for transformation in every woman’s life.
