Recently a dear friend of mine experienced a breach in her marriage.

A deep sense of betrayal overcame her when her partner told her that she is the love of his life, AND/BUT he needs to be able to date younger women to satisfy his lust.

The internalized social conditioning prizing youth and...

While hormonal shifts associated with menopause do have an impact on our physiology, it is just one piece of an overall picture. 

Our Sex Drive:

Our sex drive, levels of arousal, experience of pleasure, and access to ecstasy are a complex interplay between physiology, internal connectivity,...

Consider any area of your life. I mean anything. Do you feel that you are just right? Not too much, not too little, but just the perfect measure of enoughness?

If you are a woman raised in a patriarchal society, being enough may feel as attainable as becoming a Disney princess. Enoughness is like...

I was what you might consider beautiful. So much so, that I had a successful career as an international model. I was shy and insecure, but this was some external validation that as much as I felt worthless most of my life, at least I had my looks. 

From early on I received messages from...

Work/life balance is a complete nonsense.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like pain.

Unless of course, I do. When it serves me and I can use it to prove to the world that I am tough, that I can overcome, and that I am worthy of their admiration and respect. And awe. Awe would be nice.

You see, I grew up in a pretty toxic...

I’ve been on a personal development journey for the last 30 years. Having grown up in a culture that confused the hell out of me, it was no surprise that I came out feeling like I am broken, and in sore need of fixing.

I was supposed to be a good girl, always polite and giving. Smart,...

Who Am I?

It is at the same time the most profound and the most banal question that we can ask of ourselves and that we get asked by others. It can be asked from the most superficial level of “who the hell are you?” when you accidentally crash a wrong party at a hotel venue to the...
