Remember when you were a kid and all it took to burst with excitement is to see the first firefly light up the night sky?
I believe that lighting up like that happens spontaneously when let ourselves be who we are. It doesn't matter if that moment is happy or sad, there is awesome beauty and meaning in what's real.
Unfortunately, life happens. And most of us lose sight of of our light and our truth along the way. But it can be regained.
The Surviving to Thriving mission is to help earthlings build meaningful, connected, relational lives naturally.
The seeds of Surviving to Thriving actually started for me way before I knew it began.
I had an amazing childhood. We had the Kool-Aid house. My childhood was a blur of running barefooted in the grass, riding bikes, swimming, playing curb ball in the street, and climbing trees. It was a cocoon of safety and exploration that I took with me wherever I went afterward.
When I grew up and entered the work world, I was the one who organized outings with my co-workers. (I didn't realize it then, but it was so I could have that sense of family with me wherever I went).
My house has always been the place where strangers could come for Thanksgiving. (I didn't want anyone to be without food, company, or warmth on the holiday). It's been the gathering place for my whole family.
As a performer, my goal was never about "Ooh, look at me! I'm so cute" but about transporting my guests back to their homeland for the night so they could light up. (I was a folk dancer).
As a dance teacher, it was so much fun to see my students reach milestones and hit new heights.
As a therapist, my office is the only place that some people ever really feel safe. It's the place they come alive.
It took me a while to figure out that my work as a spiritual tour facilitator wasn't just about sharing the incredibly beautiful and transformative landscapes, but also about creating opportunities for people to connect deeply to themselves, each other, and the universe.
All these experiences have helped me develop 2 things that I'm really good at:
- creating a safe environment where letting go and living with authenticity are most likely
- helping people connect to their inner nature and the outer nature to find their own way naturally
There is something so incredible about being with someone who is free to be themselves. It's beyond beautiful. I want everyone to experience that. I love being able to witness it. If this is something you desire, let's do it! Here's how:
- Listen to the free podcast for ideas on how to realign with nature so your true, perfect self can radiate and connect.
- Commit to freedom and authenticity. Join our Surviving the Thriving Sanctuary. It's a free, safe place where you can start speaking up, connecting, and exploring who you are.
- Need some training wheels for a while? Join the Surviving to Thriving Academy where I suggest experiences to help you grow, connect, see what there is to see, and find your way.
- Stuck? No worries. Book a breakthrough session with me and we'll get you moving again.
- Want immersion? Come with me on a tour. You will live the things I talk about every day and feel the connection that I speak about in your bones. If you've never had it, this is the best way to figure out what "it" is.
