Crystal wisdom for soulful living

Hello Reader. Over the past several years, many of us have felt the quiet ache of disconnection from the magic of life. The world is shifting in ways we couldn’t have imagined, and so many of the structures and systems we once leaned on for a sense of safety and stability are being dismantled. But within that unraveling, something new is emerging. As we move through the final months of this year, magic is returning. It is inviting us to reconnect, reawaken, and remember what is possible. The...

Hello Reader. Today is the day… Yay! I am beyond excited to share that my podcast has a new name, a new look, and a fresh energy that reflects both my personal evolution and the changes I feel unfolding in our world. ✨ Welcome to the Luminary Life Podcast. ✨ This has been such a journey. When I began podcasting over 10 years ago (can you believe it has been that long?!), I had no idea how much it would grow and evolve along with me. The podcast has carried different names (How many do you...

Hello Reader. The forest is shifting as summer winds down. Colorful fall leaves have begun to drop one by one, leaving a natural confetti across our driveway. The air feels different . . . cooler, crisp, alive with the pulse of transition. I just love summer in the forest.It's refreshing, soothing, and opens a portal for the return to self. Each year I arrive with an intention, a curiosity, a longing for growth . . . and as the season comes to a close, I find that longing has been answered....

Hello Reader. Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been talking about thresholds and the sacred space between no longer and not yet. It’s a place that can sometimes feel foggy, unsteady, or even uncomfortable . . . but it also holds immense possibility. One of the most powerful ways I’ve found to tend this space is through ceremony. Why Ceremony Matters During Times such as These Ceremony creates a container.It gives shape to the shapeless.It allows us to pause, mark a moment, and step into...

Hello Reader. I’m back in the woods this week after a quick trip home to Green Bay. Okay, it was a full week home and it was long and hot. Haha. But it felt good to play in the garden and reset a few things. But the truth is, when I’m there, I miss the forest . . . the way the lake greets me in the morning, the rhythm of the wind in the trees, and the deep quiet. Being back among the pines and towering oaks, I feel reconnected with the conversation we started last week about the space between...

Hello Reader. Last week, I shared about how reaching a point of exhaustion prompted me to take a much needed pause. And along the way I was reminded that sometimes a deep soul restorative rest and reset opens a portal between what has been and what is becoming. Since sharing that message, many of you reached out and shared how this resonated with you. Thank you. I was deeply touched. It's really beautiful to recognize this shared energy. So much is shifting in our world, and a new chapter is...

Hello Reader. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of a pause . . . not just as a nice idea, but as a soul-deep necessity. We live in a world that often tells us to keep pushing. That rest is indulgent. That we’ll lose momentum if we stop. That inspiration only comes from doing more. But what happens when the very things that once lit us up begin to feel . . . dim? That’s where I found myself earlier this summer. ✨ I was overwhelmed and exhausted, but not in a way that a good...

Hello Reader. Happy New Moon! On this rainy morning I’m basking in a soft post-ceremony glow. Last night’s new moon gathering in the Sanctuary Circle was truly soul-nourishing. These gatherings are so near and dear to my heart. They are a time to lean into sacred conversation, attune to the current energy, and activate the hopes, dreams, and wishes stirring within our hearts. In the midst of my summer slowdown, these moments of shared ceremony have been a beautiful way to stay connected . . ....

Hello Reader. As we near the summer solstice, I find myself softening into a slower rhythm . . . one that listens, lingers, and lets the Earth lead. In this time of transition, I wanted to share a few tender threads from my world to yours . . . a message from this month’s crystal ally, a glimpse of what’s unfolding this season, and a special gift I’m excited to share soon. This June, the Crystal of the Month is Green Calcite - a gentle, heart-opening stone that reminds us of the healing that...

Hello Reader. Happy May! Spring has officially reached its midpoint, and here in the garden, everything is bursting to life . . . flowers blooming, birds nesting, and yes, even the weeds thriving like they’ve been lovingly tended. Ha! But truly, it’s a magical time. The moment I catch the sweet scent of hyacinths, my heart expands. It reminds me: the earth is reawakening, and so are we. This season, I’ve been immersed in the Sacred Stones 7-week journey with a soulful group of wisdomkeepers....
