I was at a bookstore the other day with a simple task: buy a graduation present. I even knew exactly what I was looking for: a cute journal. Nothing more. But when I got to the journal display and saw the assortment of beautiful, colorful books (not to mention all of the tempting merchandise I…
In my last post, I promised to talk more about my tendency to judge how other people spend their money, because looking at this habit of mine has been incredibly eye opening. This habit has been going on for years, but it’s really come into my conscious awareness just in the last few months. So,…
This past weekend, I had some epic, witchy chats with one of my best friends, and we peeled away another layer of my weirdness around money. I’ve written about my money issues before: when I found out that I hated money, when I realized (thanks to Downton Abbey) that I was harshly judging rich people, and how…
My relationship with money sucks. Or at least, it used to. Thanks to help from my Guides, that suckiness has faded dramatically over the past few months, and there’s one Suckiness Removal Strategy in particular that I want to share with you here.

Last time, we looked at the Approval Seeking Spectrum (ASS) and how to spot when the needle swings into the red zone. That awareness is powerful, because it invites us to get clear on what our genuine goals are versus the things we’re doing to garner approval. But I also mentioned that, to some degree,…
Yesterday, while journaling my dreams, it occurred to me: dreams are the unconscious’ body of work. As I draft and revise my next romance novel, all the while my unconscious is adding scenes and chapters to the long-running series it’s been working on since the day I was born. (Maybe even before?) Kind of trippy,…

Your psyche is a record of your life, and in particular, a record of the strategies you’ve learned to navigate your life. It’s like an archaeological dig: layers upon layers of psychic sediment that tell the story of you. Psychological complexes are akin to finding a stone ax or a flint knife in the sediment….
