Crazy Sexy Solitude
June 27, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Being yourself is Crazy Sexy. We Crazy Sexy Life readers know this statement rings true. But why is it we sometimes feel blocked from fully being ourselves or muddled about who we really are in the first place? I talk to so many amazing women who tell me that they have a sense of their inner sexiness, but it gets trampled on and snuffed out by work stress, busyness, lack of play and general confusion.… Read More >
Empowered Health

There’s something so annoying about getting sick. Whether it’s the common cold, flu-like symptoms or being hit with the cancer stick – it really is most inconvenient! And let’s be honest, it’s never a good time to get cancer. “I have things to do, thank you very much – you are mucking up my life plan, god damn you!” was my response to my “incurable” disease. I have never been one to do things by… Read More >
New Powers Await You – When You Do Something New
November 14, 2011
By Tama Kieves
Inspiration is an invitation to uncharted abundance. It’s not just the invitation to create a song, a yoga studio, a screenplay and some good money. It’s the invitation to create yourself. The creator is changed by the created. Yet if you refuse to listen to your own beckoning ideas, you hold back exponential resources within. You may think you’re just being practical. But how practical is it to deny your greatest powers? You wouldn’t tell… Read More >
In Praise Of Women: Adoring, Fang-Baring, Fiery Witnesses
October 14, 2011
By Danielle LaPorte
Michelle at Wicked Whimsy inspired me to go deeper with a comment that I made in an interview: I often hear “women are our own worst enemies” in terms of our culture. I’m tired of that argument. I think everyone is their own worst enemy, and I don’t think it’s about something women have specifically against each other. The uh, broadness, of my experience with the women throughout my life leaves me humble, optimistic, proud… Read More >
Transform Yourself from Victim to Visionary
June 9, 2011
By Guest Blogger
By Tancie Trail Let’s face it. We all have voices between our ears that habitually speak, shout or whisper stuff at us that, at times, is pretty horrible to hear. This voice can be constant, reductive and ruthless, and can wreak havoc on our minds, bods and spirits if left unchecked. No fun! The messages are irrelevant and sticky, and at times can take over, finding their way into even the most innocent moments. Moments… Read More >

It’s about time we began spicing things up in our lives. Throwing flavor and sazon on our lives, means we are opened to design milagros! I teach the, “A Course in Miracles.” In Spanish this awesome course is called, “Un Curso de… Read More >
I Had My Inner Critics Arrested and So Can YOU!
January 20, 2011
By Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
My newest book, “Glad No Matter What: Transforming Loss and Change into Gift and Opportunity” was just released from New World Library (I love them!) in November. While on the book tour in Arizona, I appeared on a morning TV show. Soon after, my inner critics all showed up to tell me how I wasn’t “good enough” and other mean things. After the show, I stopped at a grocery store and noticed a police officer… Read More >
Love List: TEDWomen
December 15, 2010
Sisters (and bros), I just got back from the first ever TEDwomen conference in DC and wow did I feel proud to be a gal. Empowering women and girls is a portal to peace, innovation, prosperity and economic stability. I was reminded that educating and investing in women and girls is a brilliant idea worth spreading. Women are writing new and improved rules for finance, business, art and politics, and we’re doing it while refusing… Read More >

Photo Credit: Anastasia Photography By Danielle LaPorte 1. Gratitude is always the best place to begin. Any and every gig is an honour. Thank the host, and thank the audience for the possible mountains they moved to show up and listen to you. 2. Being prepared is an act of love. And intelligence. Even if you can improv with the best of them, do a complete run through in advance, and a written key points… Read More >
How I Transformed My Life
May 6, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Philip McCluskey As I sit in front of my computer and ponder the last four years of my life, I can hardly believe it was “me” living it. There have been many days that I would find my eyes welling up with happy tears and laughing at this newfound joy and happiness I discovered. I’ve been overweight my entire life, tried over 30 diets and was always the biggest kid in school. At 400… Read More >
Self Trust: The First Secret to Success
May 3, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Jen Louden I wish I could claim that title as my own, but it’s from the illustrious Ralph Waldo Emerson. It may seem strange to start a post about self-trust with someone else’s words, but trust also means knowing when someone else can say or do it better than you can yourself. Isn’t it amazingly weird that learning to trust ourselves actually makes us more able to take in useful guidance and learning? When… Read More >
Know~ing Your Worth
April 13, 2010
By Gabrielle Bernstein
A topic at the forefront of my mind has been the unfortunate fact that women still earn 20% less than men.[1] I am totally pissed off thinking of my hardworking female contemporaries under-earning. My immediate reaction is to blame men, society, and government for putting us women in this situation. But the self-help junkie in me knows better. Rather than blame others for my discomfort, I chose to turn inward. I asked myself, “Why do… Read More >

How to Stand Up to Your Inner Mean Girl
March 16, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Amy Ahlers “You don’t deserve it.” “Who do you think you are?” “This will never work out for you, you know that, right?” Recognize that voice? It’s the voice of your Inner Mean Girl. She’s negative. She’s catty. She’s judgmental. She compares your worst to everyone else’s best—in her eyes, you lose every time. She spews cruel words at you and makes you feel like you are in seventh grade again. Her favorite thing… Read More >
From Disabled to Differently-Abled
March 9, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Maria Mooney In a society that values youth, independence, materialism, and duality, the term “disability” has been marred with negativity, much to my dismay, which stigmatizes the victim. Today, I am honored to present to you an alternative, empowering way of viewing illness and disability. My personal experiences with a progressive neurological disease, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD/CRPS), have provided me with first hand experience and perspective on disability. At 25 years… Read More >
Joy is Your Power
February 24, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Tama J. Kieves I am committed to allowing myself to receive more freaking goodness than I can imagine. To begin, I know that, independent of anyone else’s predictions or convictions, my life can be fantastic. I am going to stop calling negativity and limitation “realism.” Instead, I am just going to call them negativity and limitation. We have all bought into the superstition that goodness is a soap bubble about to burst. But I… Read More >

Hey Dreamy Dreamers! I had a dream to complete a mini triathlon and on August 29th, 2009 I did just that. I resent the mini label as .5 mile swim, 18 mile bike, 3.2 mile run…IN A ROW AS FAST AS YOU CAN felt major to my tush! It was truly an amazing event and left me feeling ridiculously inspired. It got me thinking about the nature of dreams and goals and how they enrich… Read More >

“Always follow the highest you know.” —J.J. Dewey, The Immortal Do you ever feel lonely as you pursue the higher truths of this diet-lifestyle? Well, you’re not alone.
