Patience is the portal to connection
April 6, 2026
This month, we’re diving into the theme of Patience—a quality that can feel elusive but is so powerful when you learn to cultivate it.
In this week’s video, I talk about what patience really means and why it is such an important quality to consciously cultivate.
I share some practical ways to nurture patience, from breathing techniques to mindset shifts, and how embracing patience can transform your relationships and bring more peace into your everyday lives.

🌱 Exciting News…Mark your Calendar! 🌱
I’m honored to be a contributing author in a powerful new book called Perfectly Imperfect Families, launching May 8th. Alongside other leading voices in conscious parenting and relationship work, I share the raw, real, and transformative stories behind what it means to navigate family life in all its beauty and messiness.
In my chapter, I open up about one of the most pivotal moments in my parenting journey—and how it led me to discover the One Simple Question that now guides me in every relationship.
For me, the conversation around conscious parenting and family dynamics is more than important—it’s essential. It’s not just about how we raise our kids, but how we raise ourselves in the process.
It’s a call to deeper self-awareness, radical compassion, and true empowerment in the relationships that shape us most.
And if you’re a woman navigating life in the middle of it all—kids, a partner, aging parents, adult siblings, a career—you know how complex and layered that can be.
This is for you.
📅 So mark your calendar for May 8th.
More soon—this is going to be good.
Here’s to cultivating patience together,
