A new monthly membership program from Attuned Living
Imagine...
No more bending over backwards for the approval of others.
No more using relationships for self-esteem and security.
No more settling for less than what you want or deserve in any area of your life.
That's exactly what's possible with radical self-love.
Radical self-love means loving all parts of yourself—including those parts that you think of as ugly, scary, or shameful—exactly as they all are, right now... and not relying on a relationship or another person or anything outside of yourself for you to feel that way.
Read on to learn more about AWAKEN, a new monthly membership program specifically designed as a guided journey to awaken inner peace, wisdom, and radical self-love.
If true happiness lies within, why can’t we find it?
Over the last 15 years, I've met thousands of people who are passionate and committed to their personal development.
But for so many of them, they wanted to change or grow or be better because, underneath it all, they believed there was something wrong with them.
They believed they needed to change something about themselves to be worthy of a relationship, to be loved by another person, or to simply be "OK."
They knew that they needed to love themselves.
And they believed self-love was possible... but there was always an "if"...
"If I looked younger…"
"If I had a better body..."
"If I got the job…"
"If I was more settled…"
"If someone else loved me…"
…then they could finally love themselves.
But that's a fundamental misunderstanding of who we really are.
The truth is this:
We're all worthy of love and belonging exactly as we are right now.
That's not to say that there's anything wrong with wanting a relationship, wanting more for yourself, or wanting more from life.
On the contrary, those are beautiful intentions.
But if you're looking outside of yourself—at a relationship, people, accomplishments, possessions, or anything else—for approval, self-esteem, or security...
If what's motivating you to keep going is the idea that change will make you lovable or worthy, then what you're currently doing is based on delusion and self-hate.
This is why what you’re doing isn’t working.
If you want to discover your inherent beauty, value, and lovability, you won't find it outside of you.
You need to look inside. Because true happiness lies within.
And I know you've heard that before. You might even believe it to be 100% true.
But very few of us are taught how to harness all of the love we have in our hearts and point it at... ourselves.
And the irony is that, once you can do that, you understand that you have the power to create everything you want from life.
That's radical self-love.
What is radical self-love?
Radical self-love is more than an embodied, emotional experience. It's more than a mental exercise.
Radical self-love is also a spiritual process.
Radical self-love requires turning inward and looking deeply and honestly at all parts of yourself... including the parts you try to keep hidden (sometimes even from yourself).
It's about learning how to see yourself fully and treating yourself with kindness, curiosity, and compassion no matter what you find, what you've done, or what's happened to you in the past.
It's about giving yourself exactly what you need to create a life filled with love, laughter, adventure, abundance, inspiration, and joy.
This is why the AWAKEN monthly membership program includes practices that work on the levels of body, mind, and spirit to awaken radical self-love. Click here to join.
Do any of these statements sound familiar?
"I want to become the best version of myself that I can be."
"I'm working on myself."
"I like growing and getting better and better."
"I'm a work in progress."
"I'm trying to be my best self."
I've heard all of these statements from people who I've worked with... and more.
And they're all lovely sentiments.
But if you’re the one saying these things, then it's important that you don't just look at the words but that you also look at what’s behind the words.
Are the words spoken with kindness, respect, or play?
Do them come with a feeling of lightness, quiet confidence, and joy?
Or are they spoken with harshness, fear, or doubt?
Is there a feeling of hopelessness, desperation, disdain, or even disgust?
Is there an underlying belief that improving is important because it would somehow make you better or or more lovable or enough?
If the latter, then it may be that your insecurity or inner critic is guiding your personal or spiritual growth. And when that’s the case, experiencing radical self-love becomes very difficult if not impossible.
So what do you do?
Many people will tell you to drown out the voice of your inner critic with gratitude or affirmations. Or they'll tell you to "just let it go."
But there are two major problems with those approaches:
That’s just another way of punishing yourself.
Your inner critic is there for a reason. It may not be serving you in the way that is best for you, but it grew out of a desire to protect some wounded part of yourself.
Your inner critic is pointing to a part of yourself that needs your compassionate, loving attention.
Trying to shut your inner critic up, ignore it, or push it down, is just another way of punishing yourself. It’s analogous to ignoring an injury instead of than caring for it tenderly.
Also...
That advice is based on a fundamental misunderstanding.
People often use practices like affirmations, gratitude, journaling and with the belief that their power comes from force or overpowering.
However, these are practices that are most impactful when they flow with compassion and vulnerability and from from the heart.
That's why, to be the most effective, they need to be paired with compassion and other practices that soften and open the heart.
This is why I created AWAKEN.
In AWAKEN, you'll learn proven skills to help you cultivate radical self-love and integrate it into every part of your life—your work, your play, your relationship with your self, your relationships with others, and how you show up for all of life.
You'll also have access to practices like journaling, meditation, gentle movement, gratitude, affirmations, and more specifically designed to heal your body, mind, and spirit so that you can live happy and free and love yourself exactly as you are right now.

A new monthly membership program from Attuned Living.
Here’s what you get when you become a member:
A new lesson each month to help you rediscover your inherent beauty and value.
Each month, you'll get access to one of twelve unique lessons delivered by me to inspire you to grow in self-compassion, cultivate self-forgiveness, and awaken self-love.
In these lessons, I'll show you how to:
* Change old patterns of thoughts, speech, and behavior that contribute to self-criticism and self-sabotage;
* Show up fully for all of life with authenticity, connection, and empowered vulnerability;
*Heal old wounds and conditioned ways of thinking, feeling, and reacting; and
* Explore practices that you can use to deepen your own spiritual path and awaken to the love and life within you.
(An $120 / month value)
Regular practices to help you fall even more deeply in love with yourself.
As part of membership, I'll send you weekly practices to help you integrate that month's lesson.
Practices will include journal prompts, reflection questions, mindfulness exercises, inspiration, or quizzes specifically designed to support you on your radical self-love journey.
Each practice is short enough to be completed in under 30 minutes and also powerful enough to help you deepen more and more into self-love every day.
(A $60 / month value)
Coaching calls where you learn to put your new skills into action.
Each month, you can join me on live calls where I'll:
* Partner with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to love yourself even more.
* Help you get the most out of the practices you're receiving as you go through the program,
* Support you with integrating what you're learning into your daily life so that you start opening your heart to yourself more and more, and
* Answer any questions that you have about the program, about your progress, or anything else you need.
(A $500 / month value)
A new journal each season to honor your journey through the natural cycles of life.
Each season (on the spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox, and winter solstice) you'll receive a digital journal.
Each journal has a different theme to match the season.
And every page contains a quote or a prompt to inspire a regular and consistent transformational journaling practice.
Use these journals to record your growth and transformation, to serve as a witness as your heart heals and opens, to celebrate your progress, and to inspire you along your journey.
(An $80 value for all four)
Gain spiritual friendships and heart-to-heart connections.
By joining AWAKEN, you'll receive exclusive membership to the AWAKEN members-only community.
With this community, you'll know that in any given moment, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, you have a place to go where you can quickly and easily find other people who share your values, who believe in you, and who are on the same self-love journey with you.
If you get stuck on your journey, we’ll lift you up and remind you of how precious you are. If you need help navigating difficult challenges, we’ll be there. If you find yourself caught in fear, anger, resentment, negativity, self-doubt, or regret, we’ll help you find new opportunities to grow in self-love. No one is left behind.
It’s a community designed to help create a world where every woman knows that she's worthy and deserving of love.

In case I missed anything, here are my answers to some of the most commonly asked questions:
How is AWAKEN different from other ways I can work with you?
The biggest difference with AWAKEN is that it's a monthly membership program—you can join at any time and participate as much or as little as you want. As with all my work, the longer you actively participate, the more you’ll get out of it.
What happened to the wellness sessions?
In the past, I also listed as part of the program sessions based on holistic wellness practices that I’ve been teaching for over 10 years. They include gentle movement, breathwork, deep relaxation, visualization, and meditation. And they’re meant to help people tap into the wisdom of their body, mind, and spirit for the purpose of healing and transforming themselves. I am still offering these! As always, I strive to make them appropriate for people with just about any level of experience. If you have any needs that you’d like for me to know about before participating, please don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll work to accommodate you.
Is this program trauma-informed?
Yes. In 2009, I completed an in-depth training program for people working with trauma survivors and began leading these trainings in 2012. I am also a trauma community counselor in California and I am certified in trauma prevention and recovery. All of my offerings are trauma-informed.
Can I invite a friend to join with me?
Absolutely! We're all influenced by the people around us. The more time you spend with other people in AWAKEN and the more committed you are to the program, the sooner you'll feel the difference in all aspects of your life.
