❤ Hi there Better Lifers!
In a culture where everyone is a self-proclaimed "warrior" (I live in northern California...), sometimes I'm more of a worrier..
Not because I'm smart;
It's not an "I'm worried about the future of the world" post.
(Although I ...

As you may or may not know,
I overcame 2 challenging depression periods in my life.
Without medication.
"Challenging" is a delicate definition.
I'm not writing to brag,

"Be a winner."
"You're such a loser."
"You have to win in life."
"Nice guys finish last."
"You'll never get anywhere in life."
Is culture putting too much on us?
And if so, is it really some external force (e.g., 'culture') that 'does it to us'?
And what does w...

One of the most common questions I get asked is an extremely critical question:
How can I know if the "voice"/guidance that I'm hearing is the voice of my authentic self/higher self/Love/God/Holy Spirit/trusted soul guide etc.,
or that of the ego/demons/...

Hey there Better Lifers!
Three levels of karma:
1. "Spiritual" karma:
That's the most famous one.
It relates to past lives, reincarnations, etc.
It can be helpful if you use it in certain ways,
but for most people, it's more interesting than usef...

It seems like recently,
every birthday of mine comes with a drama…
In 2020 we were evacuated and ran away from the fires.
And this year…
I’ll tell you in a minute.
But before that, I wa...

❤ Hey there Better Lifers!
Judging from your responses,
last week’s email stirred up some emotions and fears for many of you...
So let’s deal with that.
“I want more money because if I have enough money I’ll have freedom, happiness and safety.”

How can coaching help? How do I help?
I've been asked this question a lot.
And I get it: "Coaching" is a very vague term.
There are different types of coaching (for example, executive, life, and business coaching) each aimed at helping ...

Unlike many others,
I’m not a “you can manifest reality” kind of guy.
Oh, no.
Don’t even get me started about that.
But there is one thing you DO create all the time, consciously and unconsciously, and that is ...

The most important elections of your life happen inside your head.
Every. Single. Moment.
I’m not saying that the elections for president/prime minister are not important. But the more important question, perhaps the most ...

560 fires. At the same time.
California is burning.
Over 1,000,000 acres have already burned in 1 week.
How big is that?
It’s like ⅕ of the grand canyon burning on fire.
It’s like the entire island of Maui, Hawaii, burn...

Pain and suffering are a serious issue.
But sometimes the best way to learn - and to remember - how to deal with it all,

As the Course in Miracles says -
part of the problem is that we are rememberi...

In a mother’s womb were two twin babies.
The first baby asked the other:
“Do you believe in life after delivery?”
The other baby replied, “Of course.
There has to be something after delivery.

We all want a happier, better life.
Yet we often find that Buddha had a point (to say the least) when he said that life is full of suffering 😉.
He did, however, also say why we suffer - as do other traditions.
But not too many people seem to no...

Do you sometimes get so worried that you can’t even sleep?
A new coaching client of mine shared how now that his business of many years is completely closed, he can’t sleep well.
He had a business in the tourism industry and had to close...
