What if this year were different from other years? What if instead of making resolutions that you’ll never keep and looking everywhere outside of yourself for answers to a better life, what if you already had all the answers? Right there in your body, in your heart, right this minute.

What’s in Your Trunk?
I remember the moment. It wasn’t like any other moment in my life. When I deeply understood the profound power of my feminine. It happened about ten years ago. I had already been dancing my erotic when I had an…
You’re Old! Vs. The Magnificence of Age
I love aging. I find the passing of time fascinating, adventurous, freeing and profound. I’ve found it to be sensual, rich, and bliss-filled. And you know what? I find it to be sexyㅡprofoundly sexy.
The Great Letting Go
Some changes happen to us slowly, inching forward over time. Other changes in life happen in these abrupt moments where the shift is happening quickly, immediately, in our bodies. Moments where we cannot help but to reassess, and move forward as changed women.
The Magic of Women
Your intuition is your magic and it is in you. Sometimes, you just need to slow down and listen more closely to be able to hear it. You need to trust those wonderful rumblings in your gut that say “yes,” “no,” “stay” or “go”.
Starving for Attention

Your Body Is Listening
If you believe in the study of your mind, then you must believe in the study of your body. It is all so deeply linked.Stress, for example, isn’t just an overall feeling of your brain being overstimulated or overwhelmed with thoughts and to do’s. Stress affects the body with a quickened heart rate, quickened breath, tighter muscles, higher blood pressure, and high alert senses. When we bring words into the body-mind equation, things get even more complex.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Did you know that when you speak negatively to yourself – either in your mind or out loud – that you develop more anxiety overall – body sensations of buzzing, breathlessness, shaking and tension arise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another study found that if you think positive thoughts and words, you stimulate your frontal lobe which influences your motor cortex (the center that controls your actions) and can propel you into pleasurable physical action – like going on that hike you’ve been dreaming about or running yourself the bath you’ve been craving all day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Open Road
The spirit of a wild woman rumbles inside each of us. It needs to be there. And it needs to be heard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To connect us to the primal side of life, that side of life that is driven by passion and instinct and verve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you lose your center, you lose
your lust for life, you lose your wolven self. And all that would be left is an empty domesticated creature looking out from behind a dingy window. Pining.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This wild-ass woman sometimes has got to go and feel the edge of life on the brink of the world.

I’m taking off tomorrow…

FEMININE POWER
I asked my friend what the word “feminine” meant to her. She scrunched up her nose as if smelling something putrid and said, “delicate, dainty you know… Effeminate.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I looked up “effeminate” on the internet – “effeminacy is the manifestation of traits in a boy or man that are more often associated with feminine nature, behavior, mannerism, style, or gender roles rather than with masculine nature, behavior, mannerisms, style or roles. It is typically used implying criticism or ridicule of this behavior.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There it is. That last sentence, on Wikipedia no less – “it is typically used implying criticism or ridicule of this behavior.” Effeminate, and the other words we use to express feminine qualities is a word that desperately needs rescuing from a culture that has a wickedly disturbing relationship to all things feminine.
“What desire REALLY means, and how you can use it”
When I was younger I noticed I had an itch. A gnawing disturbance inside my body. In my teens, this itch was all about dancing. And it caused me to take action. It caused me to sign up for gymnastics…
3 Powerful first steps toward a life of Epic-Body-Ownership
Desire is the force that moves us toward life. It is our creative fuel. So obviously, if we shy away from the idea of our own desire we are going to remain shackled to the dull state of affairs that we have been led to believe is normal. So, just to give you a taste of what this feels like in your body, take a moment to remember the best first kiss or best first loving touch you ever experienced. It could have been the slight brush of a hand against your forearm. Or the new, strange warmth against your lips. Feel the electricity start to move through your body. Notice as the cells come to life. Living FULLY in this titillated feeling is what it means to be a Woman Ignited.
