Harder Questions, Clearer Answers...in Love.

This week, my husband Faizan and I recorded a video and podcast episode. It's been a long time since we sat in a recording studio together, and it was more fun than I was expecting an impromptu afternoon of recording to be. A few years ago, we had the idea to start a podcast wher...

How Poetry Saved my Childhood

Have you ever had a really random idea for no good reason, dismissed it totally, then regretted it later? I'm trying to minimize regret these days, so when a random idea comes, I've been following it through. A couple months ago, I had a random idea to connect two of my friends. ...

On the first Monday of the month, my good friend Monique has been hosting a live Q&A about her new book, The HOW. This week, she read an excerpt about age of agency, and how something psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually significant happens around the age of 12 to 13. S...

The Wrong Knife for the Butter

My bedroom is a mess. Things have been piling up over the past several weekends, and the time I usually dedicate to tidying up has been traded for sitting on our balcony, hanging out with our kitten, or whirlwind getaways with The Expansion Project crew. So now, there's dust to t...

It's Time to Take Stock

It's that time again when I reflect on where I was and where I'm going. I have had a lot of starts and stops through my career. I thought the biggest one was in March of 2020 when my newly-materialized wellness practice never even opened it's doors because of the pandemic. A few ...

So...I Got a Kitten

I have a childhood history of compliance. I was the good girl who always did what she was told, and went along with what the adults wanted. From a very young age, I learned that there was no point asking for a pet, because "we are not pet people". As a child of immigrant parents,...

Learning to Be, Not Just Do

It's been a strange few days. Technically, I am on my one-week summer break, and yet I haven't been able to really step away and melt into the holiday feeling. The fact that I am writing this newsletter and didn't think it through to make an alternative plan or hand it off to so...

Old Beliefs, New Reality

Dear Expansion Community, Last weekend, I took an impromptu trip to Canmore, Alberta. It was the first time I drove through the Rocky Mountains by myself, and it was surprisingly pleasant. For those who know me well, they know that I prefer to be the passenger rather than the dri...

Making Decisions from the Heart

What does it mean to make a choice? Yesterday morning, I got a text from a friend. He needed a listening ear, so I called him and we chatted quietly as he hid in an empty office at work. He is facing a conundrum and has to make a decision where either outcome will have real and l...

What Tiredness is Teaching Us

Dear Community, I'm friggin' pooped. First we were ramping up for our Practitioner Training in Salmon Arm, BC in April. Then the Women's Retreat near Kamloops, BC in early May. Then the big launch of Advanced Consciousness Therapy in Calgary, Alberta at the end of May. And early ...
