Who doesn’t love some Oprah and Tony Robbins? Since I attended Unleash the Power Within, which is one of Tony’s signature events, I have been putting this to practice and it has truly made every day better. I have only missed two days since February and continue to grow daily. I don’t know about you, but I used to have a morning practice/ meditation routine that took 20-40 minutes. Once two children were in my home that was just not sustainable so I did nothing. That did not equal a happy mama! I love this so much because it’s effective yet so convenient and doable before my kiddos get out of bed. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I was lucky enough to get to know Signe Nordstrom when I moved to her block in New York City over five years ago. I had known of her for years, mostly because she always seemed to get all the modeling jobs I wanted for myself! I finally met her at a casting one day, and the beautiful face I had seen on the pages, came to life, and in no small way. Part of me didn’t want to like her, but Signe has one of the biggest and brightest personalities I have ever known, and I couldn’t help but fall for her immediately. Signe is always teaching me lessons in personal development, and I admire the way she always strives to grow. From her yoga and meditation practice to her thriving modeling career and work with young girls, Signe is an inspiration.  I”m so excited to introduce her as first of what I hope to be many outstanding women who share their secrets on how they do life.

Hi Signe. Where are you from, and where do you call home now? 

I was born and raised on a organic farm in Sweden. These days I call New York and Gothenburg (Sweden) home and I split time between them.

You travel often, and I know how important it is to stay healthy with all of those flights. Would you share with us your self-care regimen?  [Read more…]

“Be present.
Make love.
Make tea.
Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation.
Buy a plant, water it.
Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed.
Have a smart mouth, and quick wit.
Run.
Make art. Create.
Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain.
Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes.
Learn.
Know your worth.
Love fiercely. Forgive quickly.
Let go of what doesn’t make you happy.
Grow.”
– Paulo Coelho
