Written by liesel on July 15, 2014

Over the years I’ve shared inspiring love stories of how couples fell in love. Recently I’ve been feeling called to share stories about women falling in love with themselves. This self love story is from my client Maya. She’s an attorney from the East Coast of the U.S.  Below are excerpts from a recent conversation […]


How to love your body

Written by liesel on June 20, 2014

If you’re like most women you could use some tips on how to love your body more. In fact one study showed that 80% of all American women are dissatisfied with their appearance. 80% of women don’t like their body! And yet when I talk to men about women one of the things they share […]


Alone in the dark, facing my fear

Written by liesel on February 1, 2014

I did something last Saturday night that I was really afraid to do. I slept alone under the stars in the wilderness. I love camping and being outside but when the invitation came to do this vision quest it really scared me… and so I knew I had to do it. As we were heading […]


Grateful for hips and thighs

Written by liesel on December 10, 2013

We are officially in holiday time, the time of year to be grateful. In the U.S. this week, we sit at tables full of food and share what we’re thankful for. And yet I’ve never heard any woman give thanks for her hips. Or her thighs. Or her butt. Now it may not be the […]


How to silence your inner critic

Written by liesel on October 15, 2013

When you’re searching for love and haven’t found it yet, the inner critic can get really loud. It’s that voice inside your head that loves to tell you how you’re screwing up. How you’re not pretty enough, smart enough, thin enough… all the things that keep you feeling small and insecure. To make matters worse, when that voice takes control, it often […]

Here’s the second insight I had while Craig and I were away in the south of Bali celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. He gave me a compliment that surprised me and made me really think about inner vs. outer beauty. To find out what one (really amazing 😉 quality man finds attractive watch this […]


The story I’ve never told…

Written by liesel on March 27, 2013

We all have the “public story” and then we have the REAL story, right? The part that feels comfortable to share with strangers and the story that you tell only to your closest girlfriends. Like the public story that says, “Yes, I’m divorced” and the private story that says “He cheated on me with my […]


Fall into Love

Written by liesel on March 9, 2013

I’m doing an experiment right now. I’m practicing total trust for 6 months. It started from a conversation with my friend Kim before my last workshop in January. She asked me “have you got all of your content ready for the weekend?” And when I said, “no” She said “aren’t you freaking out it’s just […]


How to love what you’re ashamed of

Written by liesel on February 4, 2013

A while ago I taught an intimate workshop about opening your heart fully to receive the gift of love. One of the most powerful exercises had to do with the parts we’re ashamed of in ourselves. Past actions, personality traits, parts that we don’t want other people to know about or see. The things that […]


Love yourself FIRST?

Written by liesel on November 19, 2012

“You have to love yourself first before you can really love someone else.” You’ve heard that one right? Well I call Bullshit. It’s utterly untrue. And you know it too. Yeah, maybe you don’t totally love yourself, but you have absolutely and completely loved HIM. You’ve been head over heals with him. TOTALLY into him. […]
