I am so honored to share with you a form of Mindset Coaching that truly is “Yoga for the Mind.” It has completely transformed my life and continues to give me a direct path to inner peace in any stressful situation. The heartbeat of my coaching is The Work of Byron Katie – a simple and profound process of identifying and questioning stressful thoughts. It’s a way to clear the painful BS (belief systems) and fall in love with reality, just as it is.
The Work (Inquiry) consists of 4 questions and turnarounds:
- Is it true? (Yes/No)
- Can you absolutely know it’s true? (Yes/No)
- How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
- Who would you be without the thought?
Then we “turn the thought around” to various opposites, which is a way to look at the original stressful thought from different perspectives, thus opening the mind to seeing all possibilities in life (not just the scary ones!). Click here to receive your Free Self-Inquiry Guide.
I’ve been an inquiring student since 2009 and at first, I didn’t think it was possible for something so simple to be the answer to all of my struggles. So I started to test it out over and over and over again – in all of my relationship issues, health, self-judgments, work, sex, food, judgments about corporations, god, even small things like traffic, lawnmowers, & ATM machines. So far, there is nothing inquiry can’t handle. What I realize is that it’s not the person or situation that brings me stress ~ it’s what I’m believing about them that creates my suffering. Some benefits I experience from an ongoing practice of The Work are:
- a greater sense of inner peace + joy
- direct experience of yogic principles such as oneness, presence, non-attachment, non-judgment
- less reactive, more open-minded
- deeper relationships with others + myself
- less tension in my body, decreased physical pain
- fearless approach to experiencing illness, such as cancer
- the ability to see how life happens for me, not to me
- more creativity and clarity in life + work
- more compassion, gratitude, + acceptance
- more energy, less emotional roller coasters
In 2015, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and it returned stage 4 in 2021. Inquiry has been my go-to peace tool for every single challenge this wild, beautiful journey. I’ve learned a completely different perspective on dis-ease: it’s here FOR me. It’s my guru; a teacher of unconditional love, compassion, and presence. Something I once thought would be my worst nightmare has become my greatest blessing. I now say my diagnosis is the “Live the F*ck out of Life” and if you’d like to see this work in action, check out my book baby, My Guru Cancer.
With this work, I continue to find that reality is always kinder than the stories in my head. Whew! Do I still experience stress? Yes. The difference is now I know what to do with it. I have the most compassionate inner support system.
I work with clients all over the world by supporting them through any life challenge, especially those journeying with cancer and chronic health conditions.
