  1) "I don't have the time." That is a limiting belief. Allow me to keep it real here --99% of the time, those are the words of a people-pleaser with a lack of self-worth. Unfortunately, a lot of women struggle with this because of social conditioning. As young girls we were taught (or witnessed the women in our families) to take care of everyone else's needs before our own. Nowadays, we are also expected […]

If you really, really want something, you find a way. If you don’t feel worthy of it, you make an excuse. Excuse-making greatly affects your confidence and your self-esteem. Excuse-making is self-sabotage. It’s a negative behavior that sabotages your abilities, performance and motivation. It’s a distraction and avoidance behaviour that prevents you from getting what you really, really want. It stems from a deeper, subconscious desire to protect yourself (your Ego) against anxiety and shame. […]

  1. We give what we most want for ourselves to someone else. I've been teaching my whole adult life. Graduate students, college students, high school students, people on retreats, inmates in prison. I love to teach—it is my second favorite thing to do, after writing. I do everything within my power to understand the inner lives of my students and to figure out how to help them learn more effectively. The patient focus I […]

The most powerful words you can ever say are: "I love myself." But unfortunately self-love hasn’t really been encouraged over the course of history. Our society has labeled people who love themselves openly as egotistical, vain and selfish. It’s no wonder why most people fear the thought of loving ourselves openly. But, the degree to which you can honestly and authentically love yourself will determine the degree to which you are able to love others. […]

JANUARY 29, 2017 By: Jamie Komadina Have you ever wanted to make a serious change, or set of changes in your life but you either don’t know how, procrastinate making them happen, or just simply ignore the feeling all together? Have you ever compared things about your own life to someone else’s and felt numerous forms of discomfort because you want your life to be more like what their’s appears to be? I highly doubt […]

I was so thrilled to be booked to perform at Sparkling Hill Resort on New Years Eve. They had a Carnival Themed party for their guests --so I performed with my gold LED Isis Angel Wings in the lobby as guests arrived to the party, and also fire danced on the terrace. The leading European-inspired health and wellness retreat in North America, Sparkling Hill Resort is the only resort in the world to incorporate 3.5 million Swarovski […]

Here's how you (yes, you!) can combat Vancouver's reputation as Canada's unfriendliest city. January 6, 2017 By Stacey McLachlan We can all agree today that Vancouver is a cold city (hard to argue when people are literally skating on the streets), but for some, Vancouver’s alleged unfriendliness means there’s a chill in the air year ‘round. There have been countless think pieces over the past few years on the subject of Vancity’s “difficult social atmosphere.” […]

It's a new year! This time of year most people are in "resolution-mode." I wanted to take the time to remind you that any resolution or goal that you set for yourself, must be exactly that --- for YOURSELF, not for other people. Have you been trying to live up to the expectations put upon you from someone else? How many times a day are you using the word: "Should"? How often do you hear other […]
