Treat Your Business Like A Lover

Once upon a time, a few years ago, as my now-multi-million-dollar business was growing rapidly and I was riding the waves of intensity, I had a conversation with another woman-business owner, Catherine Baldi, who runs a large painting contracting business, Arana Craftsman Painters. She said to me, “Your business is an entity separate from you now. Ask it what it needs.“ Indeed I have come to see my design business, LMB Interiors, as its own separate being. I revere her. I treat her as a lover. I ask, “What do you want, business?”

The Power of Pleasure

Sex and pleasure! That is a forbidden topic! If you know me, you know that I was raised Pentecostal. Pentecostals do not like us to talk about pleasure and sex and in fact, it is such a taboo topic, I still don’t talk about it easily, at 53 years old, even though I left that home almost 40 years ago.

The Importance of Community

I have to tell you, it has been through recognizing the importance of sisterhood and community that I have come into my own as a woman, expander, teacher, mentor, business owner, boss, and leader. I am so much better at and more connected to these roles because of the sisterhood that I have surrounded myself with, in the last few years. In connection with these women, I have experienced the truth that one of the most powerful ways for us as humans to find ourselves is through the witnessing of others.

Operating Your Business from the Feminine

Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling

I had to get over my own programming around lack in order to build a successful design business serving a high-net-worth clientele. I’m hoping if I share my mistakes, you can learn from them now and build the business you want even more quickly than I did.

Wim Hof via the Feminine

My real, practical how-to tips for making the Wim Hof method more accessible to women, and how to take your breathwork practice to the next level. Wim Hof is a lovely man, and his way of teaching is very masculine. So this share is from my feminine, my awareness of what the feminine loves, and my experience as a devoted Wim-Hof-er, with a dash of Joe Dispenza thrown in!

Life Is a Remix

How I create more fun, joy, and play in my life, how I found my voice… and realizing everything we are doing, all the self-inquiry and biohacking we do, is channeled through us, each of us, alchemized, and then transmitted to those around us — through our unique, potent voices.

Free Fall

That time my husband and I headed to the coast well-prepared but without a plan, and fell in love with each other — and life — all over again… Recently my husband Scott and I took a trip to the coast, to escape the smoke. The air had been so bad! So, we got in the car with the intention of just going where we could breathe.

On Grief

I have moments, where I have to express my grief. We might think, we may have been trained as women, not to be messy, not to deeply feel and cry. But there is power in grief. Feeling our emotions unbinds a stuck energy and this enables us to grow into a new version of ourselves. When I am in a wave of grief, my greatest fear is that I will get stuck in it and not have the energy to re-emerge. But that is why we have practices. Our practices can help us make sense of, move through, and harvest the energy of our grief.

Marriage Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

This time of sheltering-in-place due to COVID, is a rupture. The thing about rupture is, if we can actually sit with the uncomfortable feelings that come up, what’s on the other side can be liberation. As humans, especially in Western culture, we get addicted to certainty. Have you noticed? We don’t like it when things change. Especially if the change is seemingly bad.
