Because that’s no way to live. And I should know, because I’ve been there!

In fact, much of my adult life has been spent this way . . . 

• working in soul-sucking jobs, usually with a real-life Michael Scott for a boss (if you didn’t get that reference, please stop reading and immediately go to Netflix and watch The Office. I’ll be waiting here when you get back.)
• being (and staying) in relationships with one Mr. Wrong after another (not to be confused with Mr. Wong, who is my Mr. Right 😉
• and missing out on so many experiences and adventures because of my self-limiting beliefs that “I could never do that.”

I wasted so much time going through the motions and living a life that wasn’t really what I wanted. 

And all the while craving freedom, adventure, and fulfillment, and feeling like I was meant for so much more. 

Now, there were some things I did right along the way . . . and the one thing those right choices all have in common is they were all done with intention.

Once I figured this out, I started to understand the power of intentional living.

It’s empowered me to move from settling for a mediocre life to living a life that’s aligned with my purpose, values, and passions.

It’s a work in progress, but the more intentional I get about the different areas of my life, the more aligned and awesome my life becomes. 

I’d love to help you create a more intentional and aligned life, too!

What is intentional living?

There are different ideas and definitions for intentional living, but to me it means being intentional in what you do, how you think, and how you are in order to create the life you truly desire.

It’s not settling for a life that’s anything less than what you really, really want it to be. 

It’s getting super clear on your values, your purpose, and what makes you happy, so that you can start shifting your actions, thoughts, and ultimately your life to be in alignment with these things.

And sometimes it’s about making tough choices . . . giving up something you like so you can have/do/be something you love.

And no matter where you are in the course of your life, it’s never too late to start living with more intention (I’m just figuring out this whole intentional living thing in my forties). The right time is right now!

But what if you aren’t even sure what your intentions are?

This is where your intuition comes in! When you learn to connect with your intuition and access your inner wisdom, it becomes so much easier to see the path you’re meant to follow. Your intuition is like your inner compass and a North Star that guides you on your journey.

There are a lot of ways to get more connected with your intuition, but my favorite is using spiritual tools like Oracle cards, Tarot cards, and Runes. They aren’t just for fortune tellers! I love using them in my own life and in my coaching, and it’s pretty amazing the insight they provide.

Intentional living also becomes easier when you’re working with the natural flow and cycles of life.

For me, this means using the energy of the seasons and the phases of the Moon to guide me in my planning, intention setting, and actions.  

It also means using ancient mystical tools like astrology and numerology to gain a better understanding of who I am, what’s happening in my life (and the world), and how to use this information to my advantage when setting my intentions and planning my course of action.

These are helpful tools I use in my coaching practice, too.

Like so many things, intentional and intuitive living are a journey rather than a destination. I certainly haven’t mastered them, but I’ve been able to use them to make some really positive changes in my life.

I’m excited to help you connect with your intuition and live with intention, so you can get unstuck and create a life that lights you up!

A little more about me . . .

I’m a small-town Southern girl from rural Georgia, now living in Orlando, Florida with my husband and our two sweet (but very mischievous) cats.

I’m a huge animal lover, and one day I’d love to have a big farm in the mountains where I could have an animal sanctuary (still waiting for my husband to get on board with this!).

A few of my great loves are travel, really good food, being in nature, mysteries, history and archaeology (I wanted to be a female Indiana Jones growing up), learning, music, and all things cozy.

I’m a tea drinker and have a collection of really cute tea cups and mugs. Every morning it’s a very important decision figuring out which cup is just right for that day. 🙂

I’m kind of a nerd and obsessed with my planner, pretty office supplies, and books, blogs, and podcasts about personal development, productivity, spirituality, and business.
