So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Holistic Healing for Chronic Migraines: How Stress, Mindfulness, and Energy Work Can Help


Chronic migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of life. If you've experienced persistent pain on the side of your head and have exhausted medical options with no clear answers, you’re not alone. While modern medicine provides diagnostic tools and medications, many people, including myself, seek holistic solutions that address the root causes beyond physical symptoms. Through my personal journey of overcoming chronic migraines, I’ve discovered the profound connection between stress, emotional energy, and pain—and how mindfulness, meditation, and energy healing can provide lasting relief.

The Link Between Stress and Chronic Migraines: If medical tests have ruled out serious conditions, stress may be a significant underlying factor in your migraines. Stress impacts the nervous system, increasing nerve sensitivity and muscle tension, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and scalp. These physical responses can compress nerves and restrict blood flow, triggering or worsening migraines. Chronic stress also elevates pain perception, making existing headaches feel even more intense.

The Role of Energy and Emotional Blockages: In holistic healing traditions, it’s believed that unresolved emotions and energy imbalances contribute to physical ailments. The head is closely associated with mental overwhelm, overthinking, and emotional pressure. If you're constantly carrying stress, your body might be manifesting it as chronic pain. Practices such as energy healing, breathwork, and meditation help release stored emotional tension, restoring balance and reducing migraine frequency.

Holistic Approaches for Migraine Relief:

  1. Meditation & Mindfulness – Mindfulness helps calm an overactive nervous system, reducing migraine triggers. Meditation promotes relaxation and retrains the brain to respond differently to stress.

  2. Energy Healing & Chakra Balancing – Techniques like Reiki and acupuncture can help remove blockages and restore energetic balance, easing pain and promoting relaxation.

  3. Breathwork & Deep Relaxation – Conscious breathing techniques can improve oxygen flow, reduce muscle tension, and relieve migraine pressure.

  4. Lifestyle Adjustments – Managing triggers like caffeine, sleep deprivation, and poor posture can support overall well-being and lessen the frequency of migraines.

 Transform Your Relationship with Pain You don’t have to suffer in silence or rely solely on medications. By addressing stress, energy imbalances, and emotional patterns, you can create a holistic path to healing. If you’re ready to explore natural relief from chronic migraines, I invite you to work with me. Through mindset coaching, energy healing, and mindfulness practices, we’ll create a personalized approach to help you find lasting relief.

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Whether you want financial abundance, a thriving business, fulfilling relationships, or better health, the key lies in how you set your intentions and follow through.
