My Story

Hello my friends, this is my story:

I am an Emotion, Body, and Belief Code Practitioner. (Energy healing Practitioner).

Why do I do what I do?

Well, because…I have had many struggles in my life. Depression, debilitating anxiety, sexual abuse, health issues, food sensitivities, Diabetes, thyroid issues, digestive disorders…(so much so, that I was on a diet of chicken broth, rice and chicken for 3 years!!)

I always felt like I was looking at my life from the outside. Never connected. Always wondering why I didn’t fit in. Why did I struggle? Why is everything so hard? What was wrong with me? Every day, a symptom, an ailment, a battle, a struggle.

Doctors were of no help to me, so very early on I realized I was on my own. I was always drawn to the more holistic, natural and energetic way of doing things. Without the side effects. Trying to address the root cause of things. Somehow knowing there is more to this than can be analyzed by an M.D. in a 10-minute appointment. There are layers of stuff going on here.

When I became aware that emotions are 93% of the cause of health issues, I realized that this was a no brainer. I always felt like I was caught up in a tornado of emotions. Not knowing what they were, what they meant, or what the hell to do with them. They were a jumbled mess, comparable to the big ball of entangled Christmas lights. You just don’t know where to begin.

So, I played with and experimented with the Emotion Code. Releasing emotion after emotion, probably over 400! I also released all the emotions creating my heart wall. Honestly, I didn’t feel much at first. I would get the immediate relief, which was awesome but there was still always something else.

That’s the thing about this work. It can be profound and immediate, or very subtle. But then I looked back and saw how much my life had changed that next year. I got married, which I swore I would never do…again. I always thought the only way for me to survive was to be on my own. But somehow, I attracted to me the man of my dreams. Actually he was better than my dreams. The old me didn’t know my worth, didn’t know that I deserved to be loved and cherished and treated well. We then bought a house… I travelled overnight for the first time in 15 years… (part of my anxiety). My digestive issues improved. Little by little, the variety of foods I could eat expanded, and now I can eat pretty much whatever I want. Holy crap! How did all of that happen?!?

Then my mom got sick, and the certification for the Emotion Code and Body Code came into my email box. A sign? Maybe. But I took it. It wasn’t about me anymore. I needed to do whatever I could to help her. I got certified and worked on her remotely, while she was in the hospital and during recovery. Releasing layers and layers of emotional gunk and trauma. Along with her medical team and this work, she is doing tremendously well, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Since then, the stories and reports back to me of the things I’ve done and lives I’ve changed because of this, is truly amazing! To be a part of such healing work is humbling and beautiful.

And that’s my story of why I do what I do.

How are those Resolutions working out for ya?

What if it’s not your fault?

Maybe you set some resolutions or intentions this year, maybe you didn’t.

Maybe you worked really hard for a day and a half and then forgot, lost interest, stopped, got discouraged, or it was too hard.

Maybe you figured what’s the point from the get-go.

Maybe you don’t know what you really want.

What if I told you, maybe none of that is your fault?

Weekly Focus- Blocks and programming that keep you stuck.

There are probably areas of your childhood (most of our programming and beliefs are created by the age of 8) that are affecting you to this day.

Things that you wouldn’t even realize still bother you.

These things still affect how you live and even the decisions you make on a daily basis.

You made conclusions about how life works. What you’re worthy of. Conclusions about what’s possible and what is not. You observed behaviors that were modeled to you. Words that were spoken, which formed the belief about who you are.

All of these are things that could be keeping you stuck.

Do any of these sound like you?

You have trouble finding clarity around what it is you want.
You self-sabotage when things are going well.
You have trouble setting goals and sticking with them or even starting them.
You seem to repeat the same patterns.
You’re stuck in your comfort zone.
You have trouble getting or staying motivated.
You procrastinate.
You don’t think things can or will ever be different.

How many of those made you cringe a little?

If you would like some help with any of these areas, the work that I do has profound ability to address the unconscious thoughts, programs, beliefs and patterns that are silently directing your life.

What would it feel like if you could let go of all of that?

Who would you be without that?

What would it hurt to try?

Wouldn’t you like to see what could be possible?

How it could feel to break free?

If you would like to release some blocks and/or mental programming that are standing in your way and help open you up to the possibilities in your life, don't hesitate to reach out! Comment on this post or send me an email at unfilteredsunshine2018@gmail.com or go to my website to learn more.

What if Depression is Ok?

Depression has so many faces and so many stages and factors: hormones, cycles, life stages, grief, loss, seasonal affective disorder (SAD is a real thing. It involves science behind a season with more dark and less light, messing with our circadian rhythm, among other things) From the fleeting mood that lasts a few days to the deep, hopelessness that can go on for years.

It can be debilitating.

I get it.

I see you.

You are not alone.

You think you should just “get over it” but it’s not that easy, is it?

This darkness, the shadows lurking in the corner…you know you want to be better, you know you should do something to feel better.

But that’s just it, isn’t it? In this moment, you don’t really want to feel better…

Well of course you do…But the effort…eh!

You don’t want to put forth the effort it requires. You don’t want to pretend. For now, you want to wallow in your self-destructive pity.

No judgement… that’s how I feel when I’m in it. Everything in your head, and out your mouth is negative. You hear it, but you can’t stop it. Everything seems to be going wrong. Nothing is working and nothing makes sense.

You may put on a friendly smile but there is an emptiness in those eyes.

But sometimes, in that darkness, in the stillness, you get answers. You get clarity. Be patient and listen. You may see what is no longer working in your life anymore. Things that you may need to let go of that are no longer serving you. You may get inspiration for things you can change. Inspiration to do what you’ve always wanted to do. Things that wouldn’t have gotten your attention otherwise.

You may get nothing. Just meet with the darkness and sit with it awhile. Without judgement of it, or of yourself, and just be.

In this world, nothing is permanent, not even our struggles. Acceptance and openness are the first steps in lifting yourself up and creating change.

If you need to talk to someone, reach out. I know in my moments, that’s the last thing I wanted to do. But it does help. Write it out. Yell it out! Give your feelings a voice. They just want to be heard, like everyone else.

And when you feel the shift happening, go with it.

Dress up! Make yourself feel pretty (or handsome), even if it is from bedroom to couch. Do something kind to yourself or for someone else. Go for a walk. Do something creative. Journal. Read something inspirational. Give yourself a break. Give yourself credit. Write down 5 things you are good at, and then 5 more.

And if you want additional support, the work that I do has profound ability to address the areas that are keeping you stuck in the loop of despair and hopelessness. There are probably areas of your childhood (most of our programming and beliefs are created by the age of 8) that are affecting you to this day. Things that you wouldn’t even realize still bother you. Things that still affect how you live and even the decisions you make on a daily basis.

Things that could also be contributing to your depression.

What would it feel like if you could let go of all of that? Who would you be without that? What would it hurt to try?

Comment or email me if you would like to see what could be possible. How it would feel to break free!

Setting Intentions

Setting intentions.

The year is coming to a close.
This year brought us many things.
It brought us confusion and fear. It brought us stress and anxiety. It brought uncertainty. It brought change.
It also brought an opportunity.
An opportunity to remember to take care of ourselves a little more. A chance to look at our lives and see what really matters. It allowed us to experiment and try new ways of doing things. Exploring other options, interests and hobbies.
Maybe we can take these things, the lessons learned, the hardships endured, and the new sparks of insight and interests and create a year of possibility.
Set our intentions for the New Year not just as resolutions to quit this, lose that, or try this, but as a new reality.
Creating a life of our dreams, not just a list of things you write down and never look at again.
But as a vision, a feeling..
See your life as you want it to be, feel how amazing it is. See what steps you can take, thoughts you can think (or change) to step into the life you love and deserve.

In love and light and setting intentions

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Have you done this? Are you willing to try this?

Self Care Means Giving the World the Best of You

We all hear about self care and the importance of it.

There may be some of you, that might not know what that really means.

Self care isn’t always about getting your hair or nails done, although that can be part of it.
It’s not always about indulging in a piece of chocolate or glass of wine, but those things do have their place as well.

Self Care is also about going to bed early, creating healthy meals for the week, and giving yourself a moment to breathe.
It’s about having that hard conversation, letting go of toxic relationships, and creating boundaries.
Self care is about forgiving yourself when you don’t live up to your own impossible standards and expectations.
It’s about loving yourself exactly how you are, no matter what, and knowing you are worthy.

Self care is about having a love affair with yourself, and doing the things that make your heart sing.

Self care isn’t always about the shopping spree and material things, it’s a means of survival and a necessity to thrive!!

In love and light and giving you and the world the best of you!

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What is your self care routine or rituals? How do you show up for you? Comment below. You will also find my video on this discussion here.

Are You Stressing About Stress?

How much stress do you have?

We are in the thick of a very stressful time, in an already incredibly stressful year.

It’s Christmas time! We’re shopping, trying to find the perfect gift, stressing that it is enough. The stores are busy, people are grumpy, retail staff are exhausted.

We’re bumping elbows in the aisles, when we’re supposed to be 6 feet away. It’s hot, stuffy, hard to breathe, and for some of us, we can’t see through our fogged up glasses because of our masks. Does that sound about right?

All of that while still maintaining our every day lives–Work schedules, kids, home life, and trying to find balance within it all.
So, I’ve put together a short list of do’s and don’ts to help you get through the holiday season. Hopefully, with a little less stress and a lot more joy.

~Do embrace the spirit of giving.~ Don’t go overboard, or beyond what you can afford. Give from the heart and that will always be enough.
~Do try to find little moments and make them special~ Don’t forget what the spirit and magic of the season is really about
~Do things that bring you joy

Drink hot cocoa
Go on a search for the best Christmas light display
Start a new tradition (It’s a good year to do that since it may be different for you this year anyway)
Watch Christmas movies- (my favorites are Elf, Christmas Vacation, and I’m a sucker for Hallmark movies)

~Don’t forget to give to yourself and know when you need a break
~Do remember to be kind. To yourself, to a stranger, and to everyone you meet. ~Don’t forget we are all in this together!

In love and light and finding the magic of Christmas!

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

What brings you joy? What moments did you make special? What are your favorite Christmas movies or traditions?

Please leave a comment and share with me.

Acknowledging the Good

There is always something to be grateful for..

Seems simple..right? I know first hand what it feels like to forget what you’re grateful for. Some days it’s hard to see through what’s going wrong, and see all the things that are going right.
But gratitude is the quickest way to turn around a thought. A mood. A day. Your life!

Do you ever just see those people that radiate being alive! I had the privilege of listening to a conversation yesterday with one of those people. You could just tell, he was so appreciative of his life, his experiences, his opportunities. He was full of energy and it just felt good to hear him talk. And by no means did he have it easy, he had had a rough start to life. He had learned to see things a new way. He was grateful.

Being grateful has a way of bringing you more things, people, and opportunities to be grateful for.
If we could start each day with a grateful heart, and finding all the things throughout our day we can be grateful for, I think we would be surprised at how things change and start to show up for us.

So the challenge is, for starters, wake up each morning and list 3 things you’re grateful for. If this is hard at first, pay attention to the not so obvious, obvious ones. The things we take for granted…

Our bed and the good night’s sleep it gave us. For the person you get to wake up next to. Or if that isn’t a reality, for having the whole bed to yourself! Our home. Our pets. The water we drink. The cup of coffee we have. –I know I’m grateful for that!
And really feel it. Feel how good that bed felt, the pillow under your head, the softness of the sheets, the coziness and warmth that shields you from the crisp air just beyond them. The way your dog greets you in the morning. The way he loves you and protects you. The way he asks you to pet him. How he even follows you to the bathroom!

How that coffee tastes, the warm sweetness of it. Grateful for the feeling. Like a warm embrace deep within your soul.

Try to feel the gratitude, not just list your 3 things and go about your day hating everything else. I would be curious, if this changes anything for you. You just might be surprised.
I say try it! What have we got to lose? We can go back to being grumpy next week.

I would also like to express my gratitude for each and every one of you. For being a part of my tribe, for your love and support and for showing up with me every single week.

In love and light and feeling grateful!

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. How does this work for you? Do you notice a change? Do you feel better? What is on your list? Comment below, you can also watch my video on this discussion here.

Smiling Through Our Masks

I don’t think this quote was actually meant for this pandemic or COVID. I think it has a deeper meaning to it. But we can appreciate it for both reasons.

I’ve got to say, I really feel this.
I try not to go out too much these days. When I do, it’s just to the grocery store. I find myself shocked that..

This is actually happening. This is our reality.

And, the total disconnect I feel from everyone around me.

Normally, I’m a smiley person, I try to smile at everyone I see or pass by. Luckily I have the ability to smile with my eyes. But I find myself not even doing that as much. My head is down. I keep my distance. Get in. Get what I need, and Get Out! Then sanitize the hell out of myself! None of that process feels good to me.
We have experienced an immense division this year. Divided by our color, our political view, our age and even our health.
I guess it’s always been this way. It just seems more blatant this year.
And now everyone’s wearing a mask…Not just the proverbial mask we’ve all been wearing for lifetimes, but ACTUAL masks!
Let me add, that I do believe masks are important and necessary right now. That is not the point of my story. So keep wearing them!
But maybe we can start uncovering the soul that is underneath it. The one we have kept hidden long before it was mandated to hide behind one. Our true spirit. Our authentic selves. The parts of us we like, and the parts we are afraid to show, even to ourselves. Show your personality! Smile with your eyes!

I see people out there who have brought their personality into their masks, as a fashion statement or something humorous.

Maybe we can start a movement~~~a #smilingthroughourmasks movement.
Let’s draw a smile onto our masks and bring back some unity.
We don’t need to hate each other, judge each other, be divided or angry. Fighting each other on who is right and who is wrong. Fighting against being “told” what to do.
Can we just support each other? Protect each other?

Let’s reach out through our smiles, our souls, and really see each other. Be a light for someone else until they can shine on their own. In a time that is uncertain and can be dark and lonely and isolating, behind our masks. Let’s see what a privilege it is to see a soul.

In love and light and #smilingthroughourmasks

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Comment below, you can also watch my video on this discussion. Take a picture of yourself with your smile on your mask and place it in one of the social media posts! I’d be thrilled to see all your smiling faces!!

Victim or Victor?

Alright, so we know life is going to challenge us. We know we are going to be faced with obstacles, and we will have to deal with problems.
That’s a given.
But what do we do when they come?
Do we rise to the challenge or do we fall?
Do we face it head on or do we run and hide?
Do we see that it’s helping us or think that life is just against us?
Do we accept it and figure out what we can do about it or do we look for who we can blame for it?
It can be tough to battle the hard knocks life throws at us.

The slaps in the face, the gut punches, the kick ya when you’re downs, the run your ass over with a semi truck, that backs up and does it again, just to finish the job…Sorry. I got a little carried away with that. HaHa. But it’s true. It can be tough to pick yourself up every time you get knocked down.
We have to know that every test or challenge is what makes us who we are. We might not know our strengths or resilience without overcoming our struggles.
I know a lot of people want to point blame at something or someone to justify why their life is not working. Some may find it easier to make excuses for why they stay stuck.

We see this everywhere! It’s in politics, social injustice, racism, corporate America.. It’s all over the place!!
BUT… the choice is always ours.
How do YOU want to be?
Do you want to blame, complain, be an angry victim and miserable? Trying to control what you can’t? Or.. Do you want to be resilient, strong, confident, happy, and winning at life? Taking control of what you can, your life and your actions.
I have been knocked down more times than I can count. There have been times that I did want to crawl into a corner, scrunch up into the fetal position and give up! But.. every time, I pick myself up, dust off my hiney, adjust my crown, and spread my tattered wings, and rise again.
Keeping focus on the silver lining and the benefit of everything. Each time, soaring to a new level of self awareness, confidence and possibility.
What’s your choice? Victim or Victor?

In love and light and being victorious!!

Do You Believe in Karma?

Ahhh.. Karma..

What goes around, comes around…

You never win playing dirty..

And of course, the famous declaration of Karma is a bitch…right?

I have a love/hate relationship with the use of the word karma.

I find it hilarious actually, that the ones that hide behind the stance of karma is a bitch, are usually the ones that have the most vicious kind coming to them.

They believe by saying it, loudly, at someone’s behavior, it’ll somehow bypass them, by pointing the blame at someone else.
“She did it!!!”
Like a 3 year old kid, directing karma where to go. Ha Ha.
I’m not sure that’s how it works…
However, that being said, I do believe karma is real.
Good things do happen to good people, not to those that just pretend to be.

Sometimes, those most deserving of a good dose of karmic punishment, don’t ever seem to get it. At least in our eyes. But that’s not our call. It’s not up to us. We can’t be sitting around and waiting, trying to tip the scale of karmic justice.
So instead, I choose to believe in kindness.

I believe in love.

I believe in trying to do your best and be your best every day.

I believe in inspiration and uplifting others.

I believe in allowing people to be who they are.

And the beautiful thing is, I believe we always have a choice on who gets to be in our lives, and who doesn’t. Therefore, removing the need to be the karma police.
So, whether you believe in karma or not…Or feel you have been designated as the authority on who goes to karma purgatory…Or you feel like karma has something against you..
It’s never too late to be kind, to yourself and others. To see the humanness in everyone. To start attracting the things you want in your life .And just trying to BE better, every day and in every way.
In love and light

Take the First Step

This is a very relatable quote in my life.
I’m the type of person that needs to see the whole picture. I need to know the outcome of any given situation, before I can move forward.
And, I must admit, even then, it’s still hard to move forward. Doubts, insecurities, and what if questions come flooding in.
I want to know the answer before I even know the question! I want to know the outcome before I even take the first step.
Looking at things this way can be extremely overwhelming! For crying out loud, look at all of those steps! That staircase is massive!! How will I ever get to the top?!
It’s no wonder that climb is intimidating. No wonder things don’t get accomplished. And no wonder I stay exactly where I am.
Not to mention, going about life and goals this way, sure takes away the magic and surprises of your day to day experiences.
So, my challenge is to take away the whole staircase. It’s a little less daunting that way.
Take away the how, and the outcome, and just focus on the first step. What’s one thing I can do right now that moves me in the direction I want to go?
Take that one step, which will then unfold into the next step and the next.
Before you know it you’ll be at the top of that staircase, looking down, surprised and rewarded with how far you’ve come.
Allowing the best outcomes to reveal themselves one step at a time.

In love and light and taking that first step!
