F L O W
The Movement
I am here to awaken & embody my Highest, Most AUTHENTIC Self.
And to support individual & collective AWAKENING.
To a world where we CO-EXIST beyond limitation and separation.
Where every human being is valued and accepted in their inherent WHOLENESS.
Where it is safe to express our most authentic truths.
Where we embrace our humanity with fierce COMPASSION.
Connect to our intrinsic WISDOM with unwavering commitment.
And awaken our SOVEREIGNTY.
To create the expansive lives we have envisioned for ourselves.
And show up with CONSCIOUS AWARENESS in how we shape our reality & our world moment to moment.
So together, we can co-create new systems, communities and a world of deeper connection & harmonious interdependence.
Where EASE, JOY & TRUST F L O W within, between us & with the greater field of evolutionary intelligence.
The Evolution of
FLOW
F L O W is a culmination of a lifelong contemplation, study and exploration into the nature of our human experience and the systems we live in. I’ve been trying to demystify…
Who AM I?
What IS this place?
How do I find LASTING PEACE and FULFILLMENT?
And reach my HIGHEST potential?
This deep questioning has inspired my unconventional & windy path. Definitely not a linear one. It began with a youthful & ever present yearning to continually expand & grow. And to live out the fullest expression of myself, beyond the status quo & the systems that so often seemed to constrain questioning minds, outliers and evolution.
I have tried the conventional path. The one that was driven by external shoulds or the dominant culture, rather than my own internal impulses. I found joy for a while. Yet, somehow constriction always found a way of settling in. Which was quickly followed by a very familiar yearning - the passionate tugs in my heart, the quiet yet persuasive whispers, the flashes of BOLD possibilities!
Even though this yearning has always been convincing, following its guidance still involved risk - like pioneering through uncharted territory, disrupting tradition and plenty of blind curves. Remaining where I was, though, felt like it would require more energy. On the deepest level, I knew my inner knowing had to be honored and expressed. It wasn’t a matter of choice, it was a matter of necessity!
I now see that I always felt a loyalty & trust to this inner knowing that knew there was a different way. A way that was so much more AUTHENTIC to who I was & the VISION I had for my life. So, I followed the subtle curiosities & knowing within, which always seemed to steer me into an opportunity or experience that was even greater & bolder than I imagined! It was the path back to expansion and an integrated way of manifesting through visioning, then aligned action.
It was through this path of many pivots & turns, both personally and professionally, I now have a name for this style of living that is CONSCIOUS & ALIGNED to this inner knowing. A knowing that is so much greater than the limitations and the striving of the ego. It’s a WISDOM that is connected to the greater field of evolutionary intelligence that supports our expansion. It is the wisdom that supports the greater good.
I call this path FLOW. It’s more than a path. It’s a WAY of BEING. Through my own FLOW, I have not only found the answers to my lifelong questions, but I have manifested a path to success on my own terms and the EASE, JOY & EXPANSION I’ve always yearned for… even when life happens.
Manifesting FLOW
It was my yearning & knowing that led me to these opportunities…
Committed 15 years in EDUCATION, pivoting every 3 years - Across Canada to USA, public to private, K - college, neurodiverse to contemplative, SCIENCE to SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) - always prioritizing the whole person & experiential learning.
Transitioned to a HIGH TECH start-up to develop some of the first online interactive projects in the PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PBL) movement & train innovative educators across America.
Completed my MASTERS in SYSTEMS THINKING and was awarded Capstone Paper of the Year by connecting SOCIAL CAPITAL to financial capital at a Silicon Valley Tech company.
Designed & co-authored THE PROJECT HAPPINESS HANDBOOK, supported by the Dalai Lama & Stanford University thought leaders, integrating positive psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness & compassion while connecting youth from California, Nigeria and the Tibetan Children’s Village.
Supported a healing & visionary culture by developing and leading a community wide SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) program, CHANGEMAKERS, at a school for bright, neurodiverse learners.
Deepened my coaching practice & aligned with fellow visionaries from around the world through The Center for TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING & The Shift Network’s 6 month mentorship for CONSCIOUS LEADERS.
The Personal Transformation
These outward experiences have been deeply meaningful and helped me serve the greater good, yet they have also led to my own INNER TRANSFORMATION.
Each pivot opened up another opportunity to push through perceived limits, connect to untapped talents & build new awareness and skill. My path also allowed me to go deeper into my inquiry. As I learned new tools, I applied them in my own life - mindfulness, embodied meditation, gratitude, the science of compassion, energy healing, the neuroscience of change. I committed to live from a place of HIGH CONSCIOUSNESS through my work, my study and lifestyle, which included yearly retreats & living in an intentional community for 9 years with my kids.
Like any seeker’s journey, I accepted the call over and over to dive deeper into figuring out who I wanted to BE. When I needed to LET GO of the old… or OPEN UP to the new. I listened when I felt constricted when things didn’t line up with my values. And I pivoted towards experiences, people and places that felt more aligned. I trusted the wiser vision within that could see ahead when I physically couldn’t.
I realized it was ultimately my inner transformation that I was truly seeking! A shift in my BEING - back to WHOLENESS and my most AUTHENTIC Self. To be in FLOWin my life.
Even when the unexpected and unwanted happened…
Like having my authentic experience denied, the heartbreak of a divided family, trying to regain my grounding as a single parent, exhaustion from supporting neurodiversity in my family in an unbending & conventional system, or the powerlessness of seeing both my parents suffer for years until their final days.
In these moments, I often lost my center, trust in myself and the FLOWof life. Yet, in the stillness… the quiet knowing always prevailed and brought me back to center, to my FLOW. It wasn’t through forcing or an intellectual exercise that I found my way back. It was staying ALIGNED with my personal credos, mission statements or vision boards over the years. And in that moment of constriction, it was by compassionately allowing my full human experience and trusting my inner WISDOM. The wisdom that’s also connected to the greater FLOWof life that knows there’s a season for everything - the dark, the light, endings & beginnings, and all the growth & expansion in between.
I’ve realized that it’s through this WAY of BEING I’ve become the conscious creator of my life, instead of just responding to what life hands me. I’ve manifested some MAGIC & EASE along the way! And I live from a place of TRUST in myself & an abundant and supportive universe.
F L O W is the next evolution on this windy path. It is the integration of all these lessons & life experiences. It is the answer to my youthful quest and I want to share it with you!
F L O W is holistic & heart-centered living.
It’s about living in ALIGNMENT with the WISDOM within.
