Led by school founder and coach Susanna Liller, our blog offers practical tools and real-life stories to help you navigate life's challenges and discover the extraordinary within yourself.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.

Do you want to see the world and stay in one place? Go to The Parliament of the World’s Religions which is what I did last month, from August 13-17th – in Chicago. (But you’ll...
I said “yes.” It was a suggestion – not a request… a suggestion:
“Why don’t you come?”
Without knowing much about what I was getting into – really, nothing at all – I said, “yes” and stepped out into the unknown.
I’m attending The Parliament of the World’s Religions.
I’m here. I’m in my hotel r...
“Stop using weak language.” If you’re a woman, you’ve probably gotten this advice from a mentor, a coach or a teacher. If you want to be heard, use more forceful language. If you want a raise or a promotion, demand it. As the saying goes, nice girls don’t get the corner office.
This advice may be w...
Heroines listen to their inner voice.
They might try to put it aside or ignore it or tell it to “shush.”
They say,
“I can’t.”
“I will never make enough money if I did that.”
“I can’t leave him. He’s their father and he provides for us.”

The coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (such as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of cau...
I’ve been hearing this lately. “I can’t think of myself as a Heroine.”
What? Why is this so hard? Well, I know why. I’ve been there. We think:
“Who am I? I haven’t done anything to warrant calling myself that! I’m nobody in the big sea of women doing amazing things. I’m existing, surviving…a heroi...
I bet you knew I’d get here eventually – The Divine Masculine. Yes, there is such a thing – of course, there is! I am still learning. As I’ve said, that’s what my pilgrimage is about…learning. Here’s my statement, again:Â

The Tsunami is coming!
If you knew a tsunami was coming and no one else did – what would you do?
If it was coming…soon! Like, today…!
What would your reaction be? How would you feel? Fea...

(Though it occurs to me that maybe that’s not to be achieved for some topics.) Maybe I’d refer to it...
