Summary
Who knew Iād cry talking about a bathing suit on my podcast? This episode has been with me a while, since I saw that Miracle Suit in the store in April. To the young girl who thought her body needed a āmiracle suitā to enjoy the pool and lay out in the sun, I see you, I love you, your body does not make you any less worthy of enjoying your life.
The miracle suit dilemma and the relationship with my body over the years has turned in to the most amazing foundation for my relationship with everything in my life. A way to tend to my own garden in unique ways. A launchpad for all of the other concepts Iād tackle and how what meaning I made about myself. The work that would quite literally change it all, yet it is never that simple. To the Miracle Suit at Macys, Iām sorry I put so much pressure on you to change my life, that was my job all along.
P.S. no shade to the actual bathing suit brand. These were not designed for my 12 year old body and never were intended to serve meā¦ see this pic below for proof! Imagine a vibrant tween-teen trying this on desperate to fit in (in more ways than one).

In this episode, I talk about how there are a lot of moments, projects and themes of our lives that can be chalked up to both the growth and bloom habit of rhododendrons and radishes (and sometimes zinnias). How can you recognize and give yourself credit for long-term patience and quicker wins?
This is the woman I spoke about in the episode with her giant and amazing rhododendron:

In this episode I talk about my personal noticing practice, what it is, how special it has become to me. I tell stories about how noticing felt more confusing at first before I decided to make a conscious effort.
I went from blaming nature for being behind or ahead of schedule to genuinely curious about what I could find in my explorations each day. Shifting the focus of my noticing from problem seeking to expansive joy has been an incredible shift in my life, and I invite you to give it a try.
If noticing, and connecting to the outer world around you interests you, I invite you to sign up for my free 7-day noticing experiment starting March 9th. If youāre listening in the future, you can always send me an email for the prompts and I'll definitely share with you.

In this episode I detail the differences between knowing and doing, how to bridge that gap, and that often, what defines the gap between the two is a big serving of protective resistance. This resistance and our behaviors make so much sense when we can see they serve a purpose. Many people are coming to realize they can no longer outsource their power when its time to understand inner workings or deeper layers of your behaviors. Now is the time to move through this work in a meaningful way and make different choices for how you meet yourself when you realize there is a gap between knowing what you want to do or what you know, and what you are doing or failing to do.
To illustrate this, I personally discuss how I met myself in many situations where I knew I wanted to behave differently, but wasnāt taking action. Some of these examples include my relationship with aligned eating habits and exercise even more recently my relationship with money. Sometimes we know exactly āwhatā to do, but canāt seem to execute. Of course there are technical problems that we need to solve sometimes, and we need help and information to do it. Other times what we actually need is an adaptive, practical solution to our perceived issues, and we canāt outsource that to Google or Chat GPT. We need a mirror, and someone to witness and guide us in that way. More importantly, we need to meet ourselves in that place in order to effect real and lasting change.
Peeling back the layers to these things will often come up in the most mundane times of our lives once we see it for what it is. You could be taking out the trash, or loading fruit into the refrigerator when that knowing hits you -
Ah HA! What Iām really doing is preventing myself from feeling at risk for failure.
Ah HA! What Iām actually doing has served me so well for years, I'm solving all the problems without regard for my personal values because I want to be known as a āgoodā family member, employee, friend.
Ah HA! Iāve been setting unrealistic expectations for myself because I believe in order to be liked and valued I have to outperform myself at every turn.
Ah HA! I am feeling at risk for judgement by others so I talk negatively to myself and eat more sweet snacks even though they make me feel terrible.
These are just some examples of how this can play out - in many many many ways, remember you are special, unique and how this shows up for you may not look like the above examples but I guarantee you, if you are experiencing the gap between āknowing and doingā there is something meaningful underneath it all for you to discover.
In a conversation with my dear friend, Ardas Chandra, we discussed her decision to create paid content for Substack, if you donāt know her already, she is a wonderful creative, writer, friend, mom, just so many things! We were joking about the difference between knowing what we need to do and actually doing it. She knows the basis of my work is around protective resistance and we discuss it often. The inner protectors are often running the show in our life until we learn to understand them with new eyes, and better yet, new experiences. Her recent post really made me think about some of the areas where I was holding back in my life, and where I was experiencing the gap of knowing and doing, especially around taking action toward my goals and a particularly inspiring quote by Kevin Kelly. Check it out, you wonāt be disappointed!
If any of this conversation or these concepts sparks your interest, and maybe you realize wow, you know what I thought I knew what to do butā¦well you frankly still havenāt done it and you want to know more, we can cover all this and more in an Inner Audit.
You bring a goal that you want to work on, and we uncover deeper layers of resistance so that you can begin to see it with new eyes. With this new foundation of understanding you are able to allow yourself to bloom in a new way, gently, understanding the environment in which you have been in for quite some time. From here, I promise you will not see things the same way. In 90 minutes, the breakthroughs I have seen my clients experience are nothings short of incredible.
In this episode I discuss concepts and teachings that I learned in the Truce Coaching Certification with Ali Shapiro. Iāve been certified in this process, and have used it to work through some of my greatest resistances over the last 7 years. This process also involves coaching feedback on my process so that I can improve how I support my clients. Iāve incorporated and adapted much of this material into my own practice and it is a basis for much of my work. I am my own best case study and my clients have experienced major shifts in life, personal understanding and business by understanding the deeper resistance (i.e. shadows) of their protective behaviors and ways.

This episode is truly special because I convinced Marc to have a fun conversation live on the podcast. We recently got a bird feeder from local shop House Finch in Collingswood, NJ. Thanks to Kara, we decided on this cute, clear, fly through feeder, which Iāve situated where my hummingbird feeder typically hangs in the summer near my office window.
Weāre really lucky that our neighbors have been feeding birds forever, so we get a lot of activity in our yard as we provide a ton of natural forage in the garden and surrounding beds.
Supposedly, winter is a super special time to become a birder via bird feeding because there is lots to see. I am so glad that we decided to experiment with a feeder closer to our house to enjoy all of the fun that bird watching while on the computer and in the office has offered us.
In this episode, sparked from some fun brainstorming with Marc, we decided to share our top 5 birds. After all, Soulbloom is largely entwined in nature so this definitely fits as watching these cute birds has really made our souls bloom even in the shortest days of the year.
Do you have a favorite bird or fun experience with birds? Share in the comments below or send me a DM on Instagram. I would love to hear from you!
P.S. If you are new around here - Marc is my husband. We fell in love when we were 16 and have been together ever since. We got married in 2018 in our garden surrounded by friends and family, epic food and of course, tons of flowers.

In this episode I discuss different ways I am preparing for upcoming winter, including tucking in lots of spring-blooming bulbs, reviving my sourdough starter and baking bread, and tricking my amaryllis to bloom inside all winter long.
I share how this optimism and the activities that light up my life now would have probably been so foreign to me in 2019. I hope this episode encourages you to embrace whatever season of life you are in, to nourish yourself in whatever ways feel good at to spot the beauty in every season.

In this episode we sit down and chat with my friend, collaborator and naturopathic doctor, Kirsten Kessler. Kirsten is amazing and so brilliantly smart. I love knowing her and working with her professionally.
She has helped me optimize my health in a few ways, totally naturally, without stressing me out or sending me running for the hills. We discuss a little bit about this in the episode, as well as what is naturopathic medicine, how Kirsten practices and why we believe having agency in our own health choices is so critical to making lasting and sustainable changes.
Kisten and I met in our Truce Coaching Certification process and spent nearly a year together in practice coaching, learning these methods and deepening our skills together, we became fast friends.
I joke about this in the episode but Kirsten is a WIZARD at so many things, but particularly assessing bloodwork and she loves it too. I cannot recommend taking a more holistic route to your health care enough whether it is preventative, maintenance, etc. and obviously Kirsten is my top choice for someone to guide you in that way!

The mantra keeps playing in my mind. Success means nothing if you are miserable. There was a time in my life where I could easily write off misery for the fake glimmer of success. It took me a few years and a major career milestone to realize I couldnāt keep pouring all of my discontent into my career like a recycling factory and refurbish trash into something that would make me happy. The raises, the promotions, they all started to mean nothing when I realized my identity was NOT my career.
I felt lost, time wasnāt mine, I didnāt feel satisfaction in what I was doing in my day-to-day any more, and it was met with a slew of other overcommitments, lack of self-care, and a numb, barely there presence in my life. My creativity took a back seat to everything else, yet I still masked and acted like everything on the inside was great.
From the outside, you wouldnāt be able to tell everything on the inside was shaky. My relationship with my husband was great, we have the cutest dogs ever, my house looked well-kept, I even dressed nice and felt put together. Inside my inner landscape was dismal, bleak and I had little hope things could change, but I kept on keeping on. How could I be so unhappy when my life was what people dream of?
It doesnāt matter if your life is someone elseās dream life if you are miserable in one or more aspects. For me, it was my career and my lack of boundaries with my time and energy that did me in. The lack of boundaries really crept in and never let me truly know when enough was enough. I was always striving for more, especially at work, and I had to be the best. I outperformed myself each year because that was who I was. I was known for this. How could I let them down?
I realized I was repeating many of the things that likely led to my momās early death. It hurt, it stung, I felt stupid. How could I be so blind to this? I felt all aspects of grief for this version of myself. She still exists, I have liberated many parts of her, but itās a deep unraveling. I continue to do the inner work to not fall victim to this trap that I learned to set so easily.
What is it for you that comes after this statement? Success means nothing if ____. I encourage you to fill in the blank. Sit with the other questions at the end of the episode and really be real with yourself.
The time to examine this is now. There is no time for āone day whenā.
At the start of this episode I also debut a new way to work with me. You can select an Inner or Outer Audit to take stock of where you are now and where you want to go. You can read more about them here. All of my work is a holistic combination of inner and outer work, but in these sessions you get to choose your focus to make the most of our time together.

People always ask me āHow do you do it all?ā and most days I feel that imposter syndrome creep in, like I am not doing nearly enough.
***But then I remember I am not meant to do it all, but I am being, and I happen to also get a lot done at the same time.***
So ā¦ how can I leverage this efficiency for my benefit, maybe it really is who I am, a gift really?
Let me teach you my ways of how I get $hit done, activate others to do the same, all while working backwards and efficiently. I will help you slay perfectionism, and cut the crap on your list to really only work on what matters, what is most aligned and actually *needs* to get done.
If this interests you join me for a free workshop where I explain how this works, youāll apply it to your own tasks, then we will have a 45 minute deep work session (focused working cameras on, mics off). Iāll stick around after for any questions you have! Iād love to see you there live, because in this situation, you kind of have to be present to experience the full thing.
Free workshop August 6, 2023 8am PST/ 11am EST/ 5pm CEST
P.S. In this episode I describe working backwards in theory and give a few examples. I also share how I am so much better at getting things done when I have company, even if they arenāt doing anything other than lending me energy, thank you my sacral beings

In this episode I answer a listener question about what to do when it feels like someone is trying to steal your sparkle. I offer three approaches that can be leveraged together. These approaches are not exactly what you would expect, and require a hard look back in the mirror at yourself. It is true that sometimes people are acting in a way that isn't for your highest and best, but often we have a lot more control about how we show up, what energy we give, and how to navigate these situations when they occur.

In this episode I tell a story about how my mom once thought garden beds were better off with the "less is more" approach until one spring she spread 6 packets of zinnias in a quite small space. The result was a head turning swath of zinnias, blooming and blooming again and again. It even attracted hummingbirds. It was the talk of the town, in the best way possible. My mom didn't always have the luxury of being creative or expressing herself in creative ways, she was a sole provider for our family and so many others in our lives. Her garden was a source of so much pride and fulfillment for her. When I am feeling off, distant or overwhelmed, I think about when the last time I was able to be creative was? I am up to a quite high standard now of almost daily creativity and expression. It is really hard for me to ignore this side of me. I feel like my creative expression is true abundance.
