Follow your Spark

What if you didn’t feel like you needed a haircut, to lose 10 pounds, or get an entirely new wardrobe in order to want your picture taken?
In this week’s episode with photographer Nora Hyde, we talk about the power of allowing yourself to be seen right now, exactly as you are. 
You’ll hear stories about what being a clown for children’s parties taught her about not taking yourself too seriously, and what changes when you choose to see the best in yourself and others. 
Ready to love, accept and CELEBRATE who you are in this moment?
Give this episode a listen!
Local to Baltimore and want to share a meal with 25 passionate humans? 
Join us for Devotion Dinner where Nora will be capturing the magic of the night through her lens. I can't want to witness the connections, collaborations and synchronicities that blossom when devoted humans gather!

Ever find yourself obsessing over the “right” steps to take or freaking out when things don’t go as you expected or hoped?
On this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing why a life of devotion can’t be controlled, and how you can tap into the FLOW instead.  🌊
To me, living a devoted life means following the sparks of purpose, passion or curiosity, even when you don’t know where it will all lead. 
It's a deep invitation to surrender control or needing to orchestrate, predict our plan every single step of the way.
Even though I'm committed to living a devoted life…
I still have all kinds of thoughts and feelings when life throws in curveballs like a sprained knee weeks before I’m scheduled to lead a big dance event, or when things don’t go according to my “best laid plans.”
If you're ready to stop controlling, and start flowing...
give this episode a listen to hear a real-time, behind the scenes view of what it's looked like for me lately to live a life of devotion - 
and what can help you do the same too!
