The Gift of Inspiration

Inviting yourself to find inspiration in the world around you is a gift to yourself as well as others. We all benefit from someone who follows their passions and takes notice when inspiration strikes.

In my own life, I seek inspiration in the important work I do with my patients. This space is a sacred one for me—I have been given the incredible gift of getting to do what I love. From the therapy room to running my business, to speaking and sharing all that I’ve learned, I’ve made the commitment to give all that I know to others, and that is what brings me joy.

Let Inspiration Lead

From spending each morning in spiritual meditation to cultivating loving relationships with the people in my personal and professional life, I feel inspired every day. It comes from a myriad of sources, like the trust my patients offer me to help guide them in a healing direction, the caring therapy that my Coastal Light team provides, the joyful presence of my family, the unconditional love I feel from Kyah, my German Shepherd, and the meaningful friendships I have found.

I love the power of language and the challenge of new ideas.

Words have power, and there is something especially gratifying about having an idea in your head and being able to communicate it in a way that speaks to others.

Through my book, Swimming with Sharks: Surviving Narcissist-Infested Waters, and other writings, I have taken in-the-moment inspiration and turned it into analogies and relatable stories that impact and move people to make meaningful change in their lives.

 

Staying open to moments of inspiration will:

  • Help you see the bigger picture 

  • Offer new ways to solve old problems

  • Create a healthier life balance 

  • Expand your passion 

  • Boost your confidence 

  • Support you in finding clarity

  • Guide you in making the changes you desire for your life 

  • Motivate you to reach new heights

Allow your innovation to expand your mind.

Inspire possibility from within.

Through my spiritual journey, I have learned to value living a life guided by love instead of fear. And through my understanding of psychology, I know that the way to achieve that is to strive to choose acceptance over judgment in all that I do.

Inspiration is found in the ways we work and play.

I’m inspired by sunrises and adore nature. 

I feel connected to the ocean and would be on a sailboat at all times if I could.

I absolutely LOVE sea turtles. 

Playing tennis with my husband is one of my favorite things to do.

I am inspired by the love of my husband and children, and the intentional care of taking time to explore my own mind and spirit.

I am honored to walk alongside those with whom I work, whether patients or employees, and stay open to inspiration from them or on their behalf.

So what inspires you?
