Why does making time for pleasure bring up resistance? One of my dear soul sisters came over for a feast of smoked bleu cheese, farmer’s market peaches, organic vino, to be followed by grilled fish with lemon and oregano (both from my garden) on Sunday night. As we sat outside around the fire pit, watching the hummingbirds dart around, we were deep in inquiry around how much resistance seems to come up around creating space for a pleasure practice. I see this in women all the time, and in myself. I call these ‘Radiance Rituals’ and teach these rituals to the women who go through my programs, as a core practice that allows us to care for ourselves as we would treat ...

I can feel the warmth of the sun on the back of my head as I’m sitting on my patio, iphone in one hand and a cup of earl grey in the other. I open my email and there it is. The message reads “Gabriella, I need to move on.’ Gulp. The words appear innocent, yet they land with a thud in my solar plexus. “Am I being dumped???” My gut is churning with a visceral response to feeling rejected and suddenly I feel breathless, my mind starts spinning with anxious thoughts of “What did I do wrong?” In comes my conscious mind, which knows the truth, that I didn't do anything wrong, yet the feelings inside of my body can’t differentiate between what is ...

I've been debating on whether or not to share what's going on behind the scenes with Nicholas and myself, yet if our story can serve you, it's worth it. As you may know, although we've been together for nearly 10 years, our official wedding was scheduled for this past June in Florence, Italy and thanks to Covid, that date has come and gone. We remain here in Los Angeles, in a state of heightened precaution going on five months now, (my Cancerian homebody has revelled in not needing to leave the house for more than a quick run to the Farmer's Market on Sundays since March!). A plan that has thrust us deep in the heart of therapeutic intervention with a ...

“The law of cause and effect recognizes that the intention informs the cause. Before you take an action, there is a reason for you in taking that action. And the reason for the action is what’s going to show up in your life on the other end.” - Oprah Your actions, and the reasons behind the actions, are filled with rich information about your underlying motives. Getting curious about where you are coming from inside is often far more revealing and liberating to observe rather than focus on the the thing you are doing that you may not like. All behaviors have an underlying motivation that belies your inner reality. Your behaviors reveal what you really believe, which points you in the direction ...
