Available for pre-order now. Cosmic Collect Call is a powerful message of finding grace and beauty in resilience and self-acceptance. Come along to Renu's book launch and...

Dear Reader, Join the Helpers Thrive Toolkit Now Right? Well, Florida was one of those. I came just after Hurricane Helene and right before Hurricane Milton! So, instead of running trainings, signing books and delivering presentations, I was promptly part of an evacuation plan! Instead of settling in and being wined and dined, I was packing up and being driven across the State to Orlando. Four hotel rooms in three locations in five days. Planes, taxis and automobiles! Giving way on the...

Bytes of Insight "Doing Life Perfectly Imperfect" Dear Reader, It's so easy to give up! Right? It's so easy to think that no one is listening, no one cares, nothing is happening. But it's NOT true. My experience is that if you keep showing up, if you keep being authentic, if you keep following the threads, even when it's hard. ESPECIALLY when it's hard. Magic happens. My latest bit of magic: A story I published on Medium in Sept 2023 (a year ago!) was picked up by somebody (a former Hollywood...

Dear Reader, Join the Helpers Thrive Toolkit Now Are you ready to THRIVE? I mean really thrive. Not fake it till you make it. Not a spiritual bypass to say that 'everything is OK' when it isn't. THRIVING becasue you know what you want and you know how to get it. THRIVING because you fill your own cup first before you even think about helping others. THRIVING because when you want to take a bath in the middle of the day (or see a movie, or go for a walk/nap/cake), you DO IT. If you've spent so...

Bytes of Insight "Doing Life Perfectly Imperfect" Dear Reader, What do you do when your world is rocked? And I don't mean in a good way! My world was rocked this week to the core. A tragedy occurred that brought me to my knees. Everything I thought I knew seemed gone. Everything I thought I was seemed fake. Everything I thought about the world seemed false. I don't want to write about the details here; suffice to say that I received news I never would have imagined getting, and yet a part of...

"Find what brings you joy and do that" Tom Evans - Insight Timer Teacher Hello Reader, I've been a busy bee creating lots of audio tracks for Insight Timer (I now have 8 courses plus 14 tracks!) and I'm loving it. I'm also loving interviewing successful people that I've met on the platform and this week I bring to you not one but TWO Insight Timer teachers. During these interviews, I borrowed a technique from Stephen Bartlett's Diary of a CEO: I ask the guest to leave a question for the next...
