Last Tuesday, I was pouring myself a glass of Champagne (because why not?).

It had been a long day, and I was excited to wind down and chat with Fonz over a game of backgammon (by the way, I finally beat him after a 2-day losing streak). 

As we were talking, I said something so casually, so automatically, that it almost slipped right past me.

Two words. Just two little words.

But I felt it. It chipped away at my own power.  

And in that moment, I realized – those same two words were the reason I stayed stuck for years – in a war with my body, feeling trapped in my life, and never feeling at peace.

And, they are also the two words that helped me create the life I’m living today. 

Two words that built everything. And nearly destroyed everything.

We all say them. Every single day. 

Most of us have no idea we’re doing it – or what we’re building every time they leave our lips.

Wondering what they are?

I’m sharing them in this week’s podcast episode.

Listen now.

When you discover what they are, you’re going to replay every conversation you’ve had with yourself this week.

And it’s going to change the way you speak for the rest of your life.

With love,

The way I speak to myself shapes everything. 

Every conversation I have in my head becomes the blueprint for my reality. 

When I catch myself using language that diminishes my power, I get to choose differently. 

Small shifts in how I talk to myself create massive shifts in how I show up.

Crate & Barrel Year of the Horse Plate

I’ve been drawn to anything horse-related this year (case in point, last week’s class on Fire Horse energy), and this Crate & Barrel Year of the Horse Plate caught my eye immediately.

It’s part of their limited-edition Year of the Horse collection – elegant enough for dinner parties but fun enough for everyday use. I love the clean design and the subtle nod to this powerful year we’re in.

Perfect for serving those spontaneous Tuesday night appetizers with champagne. Because why should celebration wait for the weekend?

Become Unrecognizable With These Two Words

What if I told you there are two words you say every day that are either building the life you want or keeping you stuck in the one you don’t?

Most people have no idea they’re doing it. But once you hear what these words are and understand their power, you’ll never use them carelessly again.
