Crystal wisdom for soulful living

Hello Reader. Lately, I keep hearing this phrase rise up in me: I just can’t deal with it. Maybe you’ve felt that too. The state of the world, the headlines, the heaviness, the speed at which new and shocking things seem to unfold… it can all feel like too much. And the truth is, it is a lot. What we are processing and navigating right now is immense. In this week’s episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I wanted to make space for that truth. This month, as we work with Spirit Quartz and its...

Hello Reader. How are you moving through this Mercury retrograde? My weekend was filled with heartfelt connection time with sacred friends . . . soul family. From deep conversation to time in nature, good food, and playfulness, our time together was deeply nourishing. I left feeling softer, clearer, and more present to just how essential these relationships are. This month, as we work with Spirit Quartz, we’re invited to nurture and nourish our soulful relationships, the ones that remind us...

Hello Reader. This eclipse window has me reflecting on cycles and patterns in a much deeper way than I expected. In particular, my attention was drawn back to the August 2017 solar eclipse. Chris and I had so much fun viewing and experiencing this eclipse at Cave-in-Rock in southern Illiniois. It's such a great memory, but I was curious why this particular eclipse was getting my attention . . . and then, I realized that 2017, like this year, was a 1 year in numerology, ha! What do you...

Hello Reader. How are you today? . . . goodness, I've been exhausted since returning from Tucson. While my head has been full of inspiration, my body has needed a deep rest and reset. Isn't it interesting how quickly life can pull us off-center? . . . even when we are in the midst of doing something we deeply enjoy. Between the pace of the world, the news cycle, the to-do lists, and all of the decisions we make every day, our delicate nervous system quickly becomes overwhelmed, and we find...

Hello Reader. I am still buzzing from my time in Tucson. Wowza! This was the first time I experienced the desert in bloom. It felt lush. Can I say that about the desert? It feels a bit contrary, but goodness, the fresh growth, flowers, hummingbirds buzzing around, and a hint of moisture in the dry desert air felt just that: lush. I feel like the desert in bloom definitely set the tone for my time in Tucson . . . from deep presence, to genuine joy, and a bright, grounded energy throughout the...

Hello Reader. As you read this, I am jetting off for a couple of days in the Arizona sun and a full immersion in the Tucson gem show vibes. There’s something about the sunlight, dry warmth, and the hum of so many crystals together in one place . . . I can already feel the energy as I type. It has been 11 years since I last shopped the Tucson Gem Show, but the magic still lives in my heart. Goodness, I've missed this! Last week, after I finished recording today’s podcast episode, I realized...

Hello Reader. Goodness, I feel like I could begin this week's message just as I began last week and the week before . . . My heart is heavy. Perhaps you can relate. I feel like I stepped into this year with so much hope and a sense of possibility . . . And then our foundation has been shaken. This is a truly tender time . . . and somehow, it is also an awakening time. It feels odd, or perhaps even dishonoring of the tragedy and upheaval, to suggest we celebrate what is right and good. But...

Hello Reader. I’m thinking of you today . . . with so much love in my heart. This is a tender time. As we navigate turbulent and changing energy (both close to home and across the world), the capacity of our hearts is being stretched. Our hearts are being asked to hold so much . . . yet beneath all that we see, a collective energy of divine love and deep, heart-centered wisdom is awakening. Tap in. Welcome it. Receive it. Yes, it is meant for you. This January, our crystal allies are...

Hello Reader. If you’re feeling the weight of the world right now, you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling very tender-hearted this week. With friends in the Twin Cities and across the country, the intensity of the collective energy feels close. Today I am shaking up my weekly podcast episode and sharing a short guided meditation . . . from my heart to yours. This meditation calls in our two January crystal allies for connection, insight, and messages. Rhodochrosite — love courageously. love...

Hello Reader. I’m popping in to share something that feels simultaneously edgy and adventurous . . . This spring, I’m hitting the road (I LOVE roadtrips!). I’ll be traveling from Green Bay, WI to Boston, MA to speak at The Inspired Life Women’s Weekend of Love, Light & Laughter on April 11–12 . . . and I’m planning to turn the journey there into a mini tour. Along the way, I’d love to see you. I’m imagining a handful of stops for fun, meaningful, and intimate gatherings. Everything from...
