Growing up, in my earliest years, my sister was like a second mom to me. She would carry me around, tie my shoes, and play games with me endlessly. At a certain age, my older brother decided that I was annoying and he started to tease me behind my parents backs. My sister, understandably not wanting...

At the beginning of 2014 I set out with the intention to fall more deeply in love with myself than I ever had before. And when I get an idea in my head, I commit to it fully. I hired a self-love coach that I checked in with at least once per week. I started working with a therapist to dig into some...

One of the worst things that the era of romantic love has taught you is that you are supposed to find a soul mate in a significant other who will be able to meet all of your needs flawlessly, often without even having to communicate their needs...

Today on The Intentional Life, I have amazing-badass-superwoman, and one of my personal coaches over the last two years, Kelsey Grant.

At the time of my writing these words, I’ve been a full time sex and relationship coach for about seven years.

Your weight. Your height. Your eye colour. Your income. Your job title. The car you drive. Your wrinkles. Your fat. Your cellulite. Your bra size. Your penis length. Your hairline. Anything and everything that you obsess about when you look in the mirror. It’s all noise. All of those...
