You Can’t Quit Your Calling
Lissa Rankin, February 9, 2012
Those of you who know my story know the on-again-off-again love affair I have had with medicine (as I wrote about here). Time and time again, I have tried to stray, quit my job, turned my back on the white coat. But again and again, it boils down to one thing. This is my calling, and you can quit your job, but you can’t quit your calling. It beckons like a siren song until you finally surrender to it.

Lissa Rankin, December 20, 2011
I was recently telling the story of my crappy-book-deal-turned-six-figure-success story to the students in my Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course. Since the forum is private, only for students of the course, I thought I’d share a few tips that I’ve been sharing with them over the course of the year as we all lift each other up in the process of getting over limiting beliefs, stopping the self-sabotage, and finally achieving our New Years Resolutions and other goals.

Read More...The Narrow Place: Expanding Through Transitions
Lissa Rankin, March 21, 2011
When you’re in transition, you may feel very, very uncomfortable. Whether you’ve lost or left a job, become a new mother, buried a loved one, divorced a spouse, found yourself with an empty nest, or been diagnosed with an illness, you’re likely to find yourself feeling constricted, at least at first.
You gut feels tight. Your heart hurts. You curl into a ball. You shrink. It’s like a mini-death.

Lissa Rankin, February 27, 2011
My new friend Michelle Currie of Meditative Arts just asked me to answer this question for her upcoming e-book: How do you stay refreshed during the day? What keeps you energized?
I thought it was such a great question, it deserved its own post.
People ask me all the time how I accomplish all that I do in life as a Pink Medicine Woman coach, author, workshop leader, doctor, artist, mother, and entrepreneur. And my standard answer is “ass in chair” -- as in, you gotta work your ass off. But this question got me thinking. What allows me to get my ass in that chair so that I can finish that book/complete that solo art show/write that e-course/book those clients? Well, I make efforts to stay refreshed and feel energized!

Giving and Getting Joy When You’ve Lost Your Mojo
Suzanne Bouffard, July 14, 2010
Every time I get sick, I promise myself that I’ll never take a healthy day for granted again. I vow to be mindful of how much energy is coursing through my body or how clear my head is. This usually lasts for a week or so. But when I lost my mojo last year, I took a similar vow to appreciate the mojo when I got it back, and this one has stuck.

How to Conjure What You Wish to Create, Part I: A Fable
Lissa Rankin, May 3, 2010
There’s a lot of talk these days about the Law of Attraction. They make it sound so simple. You just wish for something, and then- POOF! Your fairy godmother appears and you get exactly what you want. Just like that.
Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? But how can that be? If it worked that way, we’d need to do nothing more than make three wishes and, like any good fairy tale, all of our dreams would come true. So why doesn’t it work? Let me tell you a secret … it does. It just doesn’t work that way. What do I mean? Get comfy and I’ll tell you a little story.
