When your Mom dies on International Women's Day, it changes the tone - from rah rah go girl, to something a little more nuanced. I'm still a cheerleader for women, for change. I am also more aware that our time is short - let us live our best life in whatever way we can.

You know when you have that jingle from a commercial stuck in your head? Make it a challenge to change the words to better suit what you really need or want... Keep the tune or pattern – the subconscious loves the play on words and now you’ll automatically (subconsciously) support yourself every time that ad pops up!

Happy World Hypnotism Day! January 4th isn't just another day, it’s a celebration of the incredible power of the mind and all the possibilities that come with it.
The start of the new year is the perfect time to think about what changes you want to embrace and what goals you want to achieve. But "for real" this year...
The subconscious turns failed resolutions to automatic, easy and lasting shifts for body and mind.
Hypnotism can be a transformative tool that helps unlock the "good stuff" within you, guiding you towards the changes you want and need.
I love what I do and I'm here to help when you're ready to celebrate and (re)discover the best you. Jennifer

I had a conversation with a friend and this quote came into it with an 'urgency' I could not deny. I am feeling more and more strongly about untrivializing (a word? Spellcheck thinks not) what society deems trivial, that may actually be a way of attending to our internal longings or needs and can help us to uncover our strengths and mission and even more joy... I have a history of 'trivialities' that brought me joy, yet I kept many of them hidden... I don't think I want to do that any more. More joy, every day... What's your experience with the trivial, with joy or with both?

Does it always have to rain to get the blooms we want?...
The saying goes "April showers bring May flowers" and sometimes this is extended to the idea that we may have to go through some "bad weather" to get the outcomes we desire. This may be too simplistic, especially when we are connecting it to feelings and thoughts.
Just like rain, which is neither bad or good, negative feelings may feel uncomfortable, but are there to tell us something - to share a need or suggest a redirection of resources. Sometimes they present opportunities to learn more about the situation or ourselves, which can end up making us more robust.
At the same time, when we hold on to or are "flooded"/overwhelmed with feelings, the good that they may bring can be washed away.
How does this translate from nature to our everyday? Learning about emotions and their innate wisdom can broaden our education - can add much needed relief when we feel depleted. Learning how to work with our emotional mind (the subconscious) can redirect the flow of these resources to better serve in the blossoming of our best life.
While you can't control the weather, you can adapt and prepare for for both the emotional showers and the sunshine that are all needed to create our own "flower power". Happy May Day!
Excited about the upcoming Hypnosis Certification Training Program starting in May! Here are a few answers to questions people have who are interested in brining the power of hypnosis into their life and work. Have a question? Let me know. I love what I do (and love training others) and I'm here to help!

In Oprah style... "some love for YOU", "some love for YOU", and "some love for YOU, too!" One of the things that you can share without depletion...
Hope you've been sharing the love today (especially to yourself)!... and you can do it all again tomorrow!
