Is there anything quite like the sense of renewed hope at the start of a new year?
You might feel hesitant or buzzing with the energy of exciting possibilities as you step into the unknown. I feel it too!
I recently took some time to prepare for the year ahead by reflecting on the challenges and blessings of 2022. In this blog, I'm sharing some personal highlights as well as my theme for 2023. We will also take a look at how that theme compliments the astrology and numerology for the year.
Don’t miss the 5 journaling prompts I’ve shared to help you explore your inner world and enjoy authentic success in the new year!
This year really challenged me and my family, but even amidst the most difficult times - there was so much to be grateful for.
My son Sasha was hospitalized with pancolitis and endured a long road to recovery. Our experience with the healthcare system was a nightmare (you can read about that in this blog...

“If humans are creating this upheaval then humans could also turn this thing around.” - Bruce Lipton
If you run an online search for “geoengineering,” you’ll see upbeat articles about “carbon dioxide removal” and “sunlight reflection.” This field is advertised as an emerging technology meant to safely counteract climate change. (1)
After doing a deep dive into the science behind it, my personal opinion is that this unregulated practice poses an existential threat to the planet and all of life on Earth…
In this blog, I’m going to share everything you need to know about the dark side of geoengineering including:
If this is the first time you are learning about...
Imagine coming to a major crossroads in your life. You are unsure which path to take. I’m here to tell you, the answer is to let love lead.
Love is the greatest mystery you’ll ever explore. Connect with love and you’ll be happier, healthier, and more in alignment with your soul’s purpose. You’ll begin to notice the love all around you instead of remaining numb to it. It is the knowing that we are not separate from one another and the universal power that brings out and multiplies the best in life. It is true oneness.
In this blog post, you’ll learn how to stop, look, and listen – much like you would do before entering a crossroad! These three steps will help you open your heart and reinforce a default of love until it comes as easy as breathing. Focus on the love in your life and you hold the power to change the world!
Fear is an agitated energy source. When you allow your thoughts...
"So many of us are leading limited lives not because we have to but because we think we have to." ~ Bruce H. Lipton, PhD (The Biology of Belief)
In Chapter 5 of my book, Wholistic Wisdom, which Dr. Lipton endorsed, I speak about the power of belief.
Many studies on the placebo effect have shown that there’s little difference between patient groups that actually received medication or treatment and groups that only believed they did.
Belief is powerful enough to change even our physical health. But belief can go both ways.
As much as we can believe ourselves into a state of healing, love, and peace, our limiting beliefs can also keep us stuck on the negative side of the spectrum.
When we stay in a low-vibrational thought loop, our brain stresses, our body suffers, and our ability to improve our experience diminishes.
But what if we inherited certain limiting beliefs without even being conscious of them?
As Alejandro and I have discovered through analyzing people’s...

If your body is an orchestra, your gut microbiome is the conductor.
In recent years, science has begun to reveal the truth Hippocrates knew all along.
“All disease begins in the gut.” [1]
The key to vibrant health, therefore, is a well-harmonized gut microbiome.
Picture a thriving tropical rainforest…
Over 40,000 species thriving in symbiotic harmony. And that’s just the trees! Thousands of different animals and millions of insects thrive in its diverse biosphere. And they all have an important role to play. Together, they maintain the delicate balance of the whole ecosystem.
Scale this down to the microscopic level and replace the plants, animals, and insects with 100 trillion microorganisms (most of them bacteria, but also viruses, fungi, and protozoa) [2], and you start to get the idea…
Your gut microbiome is your body’s quantum ecosystem!
What happens at the...
“Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.” ~ Carl Jung
Integrating our shadow is a key part of spiritual growth.
But we don’t like to talk about our shadow. We prefer to hide, avoid, or deny it altogether.
However, as we have discovered through Vibrational Revelations™ work, frequency always reveals truth.
And the truth is until we can face and integrate our shadow, or lower frequency aspects, we will struggle to grow sustainably and our own spiritual evolution will always remain just out of reach.
Spiritual growth is not about self-improvement, and raising your vibration is not about becoming “better.”
It’s a process of integration. Of returning to wholeness. Remembering who we truly are.
Particularly in these times of extreme polarization, this is where many of us tend to go astray.
We believe that, in order to awaken, to become enlightened, we must focus only on the light. Live only in the light. Acknowledge and accept only the...
As the seasons change, it’s vital to maintain a healthy immune system.
Don’t rush out and buy more products that promise to “boost your immune system,” though.
Because what you really need are simple, sustainable ways to support your immunity, naturally.
What you really need is an immune system in harmony: neither underreacting nor overreacting.
And, unlike those off-the-shelf quick fixes, achieving true immune system harmony takes time and consistency. So don’t wait for winter to arrive in full force before you implement these tips.
Get started today!
1. Ditch the dairy
Americans alone consume over 600 pounds of milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream a year. [1] That’s per person!
Besides the fact that dairy is mucogenic (meaning it produces mucus which makes you more susceptible to contagions), consider the following:
