  • We ate here (Vivace) when I had a teaching/speaking gig in San Mateo last year. Loved it so much, we went from SFO back to Belmont for dinner tonight... and NOW we’re headed up to Berkeley for a fabulous long weekend of upper limit couples camp with the good folks of The Hendricks Institute. 🐛💫🦋
  • I cannot wait to share the next chapter of my #mindbody #healing journey with y’all. 🧘🏽‍♀️💫💕 I have to be careful not to turn every damn experience into a teaching moment for #SMFAninjas — some of this #upperlimitproblem work is just for me — but I know with all the pain in the world right now, we will be learning #leadership tools for how we create art to HEAL. Please, double down on your #selfcare my friends. Your light is NECESSARY. Our work right now is to lean into the change we know we’re here to create. #creatingthehollywoodwewant #soberachievers #sober #tms #drsarno #abrahamhicks #louisehay #johnsarno
  • Daddy’s little girl, 1990. While my deepest and most spiritual/intellectual qualities came from/through my mother, my social skills, humor, and artistic talent came from my father. I spent a lot of time resenting his shallowness but eventually I realized he taught me that it’s never selfish to choose yourself first. Sure... tough for a child left behind to grok, but as an adult I could understand that had he stayed, none of us would be okay. We’ll be celebrating daddy’s 85th in a few months and part of my healing work now is prepaving for a connection with the best of who we can all be, when we’re together as a fam. Staying grateful for his genes and his ability to not take things too seriously is where I’m focused today. #tbt #fbf #happyfathersday 💕
  • Keith and I became engaged on December 15, 2001. We called off the big wedding we had scheduled for October 12, 2002 due to all sorts of reasons having nothing to do with us and everything to do with expectations, family obligations, and other people’s opinions about how our lives should look. Choosing instead to focus on how we FEEL, we knew there would be a day we’d wake up, look at each other, and say, “Today?” “Yeah!” and that would be the day we got married. . On June 16, 2005, Keith and I stood between two trees on the bluffs overlooking the California Incline in Santa Monica. Random spot... chosen due to its proximity to our home. We had told a dozen friends to come meet us at sunset somewhere a few blocks from where we live. We weren’t more specific than that because this private ceremony wasn’t meant to fulfill anyone’s expectations for what our relationship should be. . Each of our friends — couples in showbiz, role models who showed us that it IS possible to partner up in this industry and thrive in love and business simultaneously — brought a flower that represented something about OUR relationships with one another. Keith’s beautiful son was our best man. . The ceremony was over in seven minutes. Our vows were simple: 1. Always trust we have one another’s best interest at heart. Because that way, even when we’re fighting, we know it’s because we want the best versions of ourselves to endure. We’ll always fight FOR something, never to tear anything down. 2. Always go for the funny. Because OMG, if I leave an opening, you’ve GOTTA take the shot! If we’re not laughing, it’s over! . 13 years today. 17 years together. Most of it, 20 hours a day in the same space, building our empire and leaning into our best selves, always surrounding ourselves with joy and laughter. . Continued in comments below and at my blog (link in bio).
  • Get someone talking about what inspires them. Ask what lights them up. STOP THE CONVO when it’s grousing with no focus on a solution (or ten). Our words have power and we’re never more beautiful than when we’re aligned, inspired, and sharing our toys. 🧘🏽‍♀️💫💕 Image by @saffronavenue. #SMFAninjas #gigftnt #soberachievers #mindbody #louisehay #abrahamhicks #tms #sober #drsarno #healing #selfcare
  • Um... yes. This. 🧘🏽‍♀️🔮💫 You are NOT alone. Neither am I. This is healing. #mindbody #healing #tms #drsarno #johnsarno #soberachievers #louisehay #abrahamhicks #upperlimitproblem #sarno #iamenough #ibelonghere #SMFAninjas #toomanyhashtags 🤣
