the LIVE LOVESPEAKS blog
At the root of love is life. In order to live, we have to love. Love is hard. Love is work and love can be messy. But, love is always worth it. When we live our life with love, love becomes comfortable, safe, and joyful. We laugh more and live more. We forgive more. To have a career we love, to fall in love, or to love ourselves, we have to be willing to do the hardest work of our lives. In the end, love is all that matters. Let love speak in your life and join me as we do the work together and enjoy living lovespeaks.

Speaking of Recovery
“Get it girl” is my guest Kelley Kitley’s mantra. Tomorrow Kelley celebrates 7 years being sober and today she sits down to talk with me about recovery. Kelley says “We are all recovering from something” and she should know. As a psychotherapist and owner of...
Speaking of Purpose
One of my favorite mantras I write about in my book SPEAK is “Fear has no access when you are in your purpose.” No one represents this idea more than my friend and television entertainment reporter Danielle Robay. If I am speaking your language you will want to take a...
Speaking of Music
“If you want people to try something new, lead them with something familiar.” That’s Val Haller’s, founder of valsList – a music site that helps busy adults keep up with new music – secret weapon. She will throw a Van Morrison or a Tom Petty onto a playlist so we...
Speaking of Soul
I have a habit of inserting myself into the lives of people who inspire me with their heart and their bravery. Joshua Waddell is one of those people. I was an audience member in one of his speaking engagements called Soul Cycle! If you have read my book SPEAK you have...
