GOOD BYE LONG BEACH, HELLO LOS ANGELES! It is INSANE that we moved to a new house and painted, repaired and rented my Long Beach dream home in the weeks leading up to my retreat. I’m leaving for Bali on Friday, handing over the keys to my tenant on Wednesday. I switched my walls to a neutral white except for the kitchen.

We have donation-based yoga in a nearby … Continue reading »

India-born Caroline Konnoth, pictured here in Bali, is a New York-based physical therapist + energy healer who works miracles! When I first met Caroline she was working too hard for too little. (Anyone relate?) She was so burdened with busy work that she couldn’t spend the time she wanted doing what she loves most: healing clients. Even her capacity to accept new clients was limited. Here’s Caroline’s wild money manifestation journey: first she manifested 86K within her first 24 hours! And that was just the beginning. (Spoiler alert: she then made more in 6 months than she had made in … Continue reading »
