Big Announcement!!
I am super proud to share that the first class of Crave More Life’s Certified Find Your Voice Healers have graduated! Proud mama right here!
There are now 9 amazing spiritual and energy healers (women and men) who are taking my mission of helping people find their voices out into the world. I am so grateful, and pretty dang proud of all of them and how they have integrated my work into their own. Here they come, world!
Ask me about these awesome healers, I’m happy to brag about them. We have Acupuncturists, Yoga Instructors, Energy Healers working in many different modalities, and Energy Management Specialists. A directory of all Certified FYV Healers will soon be up on my website.
The next FYV Certification Training is planned for this coming September. If you are in a healing profession, a coach, spiritual coach, energy worker, or angel reader, etc, and you want to support your clients to find and use their voices by incorporating the FYV Model into your practice, get on a 1st to know list to receive all the details that are coming soon.

Hello again, couch. You are exactly what I need right now.
It’s been one hell of a day/week/year and all I want to do is cozy up on you, turn on the fire and the screen, and snuggle into the soft pillows and blankets.
That’s was me when I hit the wall when I’d done so much that my tank was truly empty when I looked and felt like a zombie.
As nice as cozying up on the couch watching an entertaining show with the hubs can be, in my zombie state, I’m not consciously choosing an activity to enjoy and be in the moment with. I’m looking to zone out and shut out the world, because there is no energy left in me to even communicate effectively.
Brainless exhaustion just sucks. Deep down we all know that avoiding feeling like a zombie means we need to say yes to ourselves and our needs, put ourselves first, and be prepared to say no to things that don’t serve us. It sounds easy, right? But it’s not.
Taking responsibility for managing our own energy is vital to avoid that kind of exhaustion. There is no one, other than you, that can know what your limits are (before you hit your own wall), what you need to do to truly recharge yourself (not just get the mani/pedi while zoning out on your phone), and what you know to limit or say no to entirely to keep your energy up so you’re functioning in all the ways you want to function.
That takes me to triggers. We have a cloud of social and family influences that tell us what is right and wrong, triggering us to believe things about ourselves and to take on behaviours based on those beliefs.
Instead of listening to our hearts about what we need and knowing that being fully charged energy-wise will let us do all we care to do for others (truly!), we follow the advice of our triggers. Here are a just few of mine..
It’s my job to be there, mom always was.
It’s selfish to put myself first.
Being in business means working 24/7.
I am more valuable if I’m productive.
Never miss a deadline or go back on a commitment.
You should be able to do it all.
I’ve learned that if I follow the advice of my triggers I will exhaust myself. I only have so much energy and I simply cannot expect to expend as much as my triggers call for, it’s just not there. Thus the exhausted, zoned out, time out.
Take some time to hear your triggers. Consider, without judgment, where they’re coming from. Then consider another statement you could replace your trigger with, one that will instead support you to care for yourself.
“Thank you for that post, it came at a great time. Enjoying your emails."
