Owning Pink | Get your mojo on

By Guest Author

There was a moment. A moment of such profound, terrifying beauty that it rattled the core of my life. At the time it happened, I was too far gone with anxiety and sadness to know the direction it would propel me. I couldn’t know the impact, significance or timestamp it would place on my heart. All I knew was I was in the middle school auditorium at my 12-year-old daughter’s’ dance recital on a Mother’s Day weekend and I was losing my shit in a public, sobbing, gulping, nose-running mess. As discreetly as it could, my heart cracked open and tears ran down my neck onto the soft, blond curly hair of the baby I clutched to my chest...

From My Hands & Heart: How Craniosacral Therapy Can Benefit Your Health

By Monica Wilcox

A week ago I had never heard of Craniosacral Therapy. Today I’m lying on a massage table getting my first session. Serendipity: the gift that keeps on giving. The therapist, Kate Mackinnon asks me a few questions. How am I feeling? Great, minus the stress of introducing your novel to the world. Any aches or pains? Would my daughter’s social studies grade count? Any surgeries or traumatic physical events. Well, I threw my upper ribs out doing P90X, I’ve delivered 2 kids and I had this freakishly embarrassing waterskiing accident in the early ‘90s that cleaned out my bowels, bladder and uterus. I eventually ended up in surgery to...

6 StepsTo Authentic Self Confidence For Women

By Dana Theus

Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be. Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman...

What Needs To Die?

By Danielle Dowling M.A.

What in your life is so inflamed + aggravated that it gnaws at your psyche? What keeps you up at night bleary-eyed + restless? What keeps you contemplative in the shower? Zoned out behind the wheel? What in your life is dying, fading, falling apart so that something else can be manifest? And why don’t you let it die? Whatever it is, is clearly over. Done. Finito. Yet, we cling, white-knuckled, to any remaining scraps. This is our ancient fear of change run amuck. And we tell ourselves this present decay must be better than the unknown that is waiting on the other side. Like a scavenger dog we sink our teeth into the...

Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely blessed. I moved to an amazing city, I have a great job, and I’ve been traveling to sunny beaches and yoga retreat centers. But something didn’t seem right. There was a feeling inside of me—a sort of guilt—that kept popping up every time I thought about the gifts I’m being given at this time. I realized the feeling had a voice. A barely audible, gnawing, anxious voice left over from somewhere long past. Every time I experienced a moment of beauty—through a... Read More.....

Mind Over Medicine: The Personal Power We Have Over Our Health

Monica Wilcox,

April 30, 2013

I had this funky, unexplainable medical issue with my face. It started with the massive cold sore that took over the corner of my mouth. This may not be a big deal for some but I only get them when I’m moving, flying to New Zealand or living in the sun. That averages out to one every 4 years. After a two week recuperation, another one came on. Two weeks later a third one hit me. Something was wrong. I was as frustrated and mystified as my naturopath physician. We even ran a test on my white... Read More.....

Cucumber Water Is Not Lemonade

Steve Sisgold,

April 29, 2013

I was recently floating in the outdoor pool at a local hot springs resort when I heard a loud voice shouting, “Honey, you will love this, it’s just like lemonade.” I got curious who this voice belonged to and where this person found this delicious lemonade, so I opened my eyes and what I saw was an excited mom handing her young toddler, who was happy playing on the pool’s steps, a plastic cup of cucumber water. I thought to myself, “ I personally love spa “cuke” water but it definitely does... Read More.....

People Showed Up Here For What You Have To Say - So Say It.

The clock was dangerously nearing 12:30pm. Tummies were grumbling. Butts were getting sore from sitting too long. Blood sugar levels were dipping. My talk, Money: A Love Story, was supposed to end the morning session. But the audience’s (and my own) need for a break were obvious. So I whispered to the organizer: “I don’t have to speak today. Let’s just take me off the agenda so we can stay on schedule, or at least I’ll just speak for 5 minutes instead of 30.” It seemed logical. We were... Read More.....

A Phoenix From The Ashes

As I write the first piece for this wonderful site, I find myself in a challenging place. A few weeks ago I had to leave the house I magically manifested more than a year ago, and around the same time two of my friendships collapsed, as well as my closest relationship. Having outgrown my old life without really knowing it, I was like an over-sized goldfish who then busted through her rose-colored glass bowl and watched in horror as the sharp little smithereens of her security floated away like...
