RESOURCES

These are the healers, change-makers, and revolutionaries that have helped awaken and inspire me for decades. Their books are my ”How to Life” library (in no particular order).

The Path to Love

by Deepak Chopra

The Path to Love helped me finally understand and believe “I am all the Love I need.”  I met my partner within 3 months of reading it, and our relationship is a testament to the power of self-love.  It is rich with nuggets to help you experience life from a place of loving yourself so that you can love everything more fully.

The Game of Life and How to Play It

by Florence Scovel Shinn

​Florence is the original godmother of New Age spirituality. She inspired a young Louise Hay to become the New Thought leader we know today. Florence keeps it simple and direct with olde tyme-y language and a thing for Jesus. I can’t believe she wasn’t awarded a Nobel Prize for life mastery, or burned as a heretic.

The 5 Love Languages

by Gary Chapman

If communication is your relationship kryptonite, then this book is a must. For couples, coworkers, kids and family.  We each give and receive love in a distinct language. If you’re speaking Cantonese to a partner who only speaks Portuguese, you’re in for an insanely frustrating relationship.  Learn your languages and let the loving communication begin to really flow.

Mama Gena's School of the Womanly Arts

by Regena Thomashauer

Women-identified people often become more "masculine" to feel safe, to be taken seriously, and to survive the toxicity of a male-supremacist world. Hiding and denying our feminine aspects, qualities, shadows and gifts, separates women from their true power. It messes with our relationships, our health, or our sense of worth. Mama Gena is ALL about reconnecting you with your essence, your birthright of pleasure and sensuality, and the strength that comes from owning and operating your feminine power. Let's face it, on the spectrum of expansive gender identity, our world needs a feminine re-balancing.  And our relationship with "the Feminine" needs individual and collective healing.

Living with Joy

by Sanaya Roman

A channeled guide to sensing energy, understanding energy, and using energy to create the relationships and the life you want. We are powerful, energetic beings, but we’re not tapping into the support and guidance that energy constantly offers. This book helps restore your intuitive connection to the wisdom of the Universe so you can have a richer, more joyous human experience. Source has a huge cheerleading squad just for you.

You are a Badass

by Jen Sincero

When I first ran across Jen I freaked out. She’d beat me to the punch of being... me? We’d both been “starving musicians” who struggled with worth, money and selling out. We rejected the cheese factor of personal development, and the flouncy, woo woo packaging of spiritual growth.  We crack wise while dropping soul science. And we both became fabulous Life Coaches! Once I got over the shock of feeling like I was reading my own memoir, I realized she is a soul sister who's self-love gave me permission to be the woo woo unicorn rocker coach I am, and build a life on my own terms.  The book will do that for anyone - it’s kinda the point.

Singing the Soul Back Home

by Caitlin Matthews
A text from my Shamanic apprenticeship. A fabulous primer and manual for anyone who feels drawn to explore and expand your own spiritual connection with the visible and invisible worlds. I am not a shaman. I have studied Native American Shamanism as a European-American woman with white (and other) privilege. In my ongoing journey of learning, awakening and divesting from ways of empire, I am now pursuing knowledge from my own ancestral lineage, which I recently learned is Scottish, Irish, and Norwegian (thank you to my cousin who gifted me DNA testing). Hear more of my adoption story on the About page.

Outrageous Openness

by Tosha Silver

If you love your spiritual pearls of wisdom delivered with hilarious wit and lots of love, then this collection of columns is a great way to get your ah-ha’s with your ha-ha’s.  Tosha floors you with deep soul knowledge just as you’re regrouping from the last chuckle.

Nonviolent Communication

by Marshall B. Rosenberg

Learn a new language! Our ordinary way of speaking with others is woefully lacking in the one thing that truly connects us with one another - Empathy.  Listening and speaking with empathy are crucial to the coaching process, and to respecting and honoring every being we engage with. The practices in this book reveal the patterns that aren’t working for us as individuals or a culture, and show how to engage in a way that makes any interaction an opportunity to connect and heal.
