Biddy Tarot

I stumbled upon Brigit and when I reached out about using her information in my book, we immediately connected and I interviewed her for my podcast. You can find her work here.

Vipassana

I did my first Vipassana 10 day meditation at North Fork in August 2008 and have sat every year since. I also visited the pagoda in Mumbai, India and listened to Goenka’s talk with thousands of people. You can attend for any donation that works for you here.

Jill Bolte Taylor

I watched Jill on Oprah and learned that everything happens for a reason. You can watch her TED talk here:

Christiane Northrup

This internationally known gynecologist has been helping women heal holistically for decades. I became friends with her daughter, Kate Northrup, in 2011 and have been a big fan of both of these feminine leaders. Learn more here.

The Pachamama Alliance

In 2011, I participated in Pachamama’s symposium and then went through the facilitator training program because I was so inspired by their work. The story goes that Lynn Twist was have dreams about the indigenous people in the rainforest. When she went there and met the Achuar People, they thanked her for listening to their messages that they sent through their dreams. Lynn has become one of the biggest proponents for environmentalism. Her book, The Soul of Money, inspires people to shift their perspective from having more to realizing they already have enough.Learn more here.

Marianne Williamson

I saw Marianne Williamson speak at the 2011 Lighting In A Bottle festival and gave her a hug afterwards. I attended her Sister Giant event, which educates women about politics. I’ve been to her weekend Course In Miracles. I love this woman and fully support her campaign for Congress. Learn more here.

Dr. Ray Gin

One of my favorite holistic doctors who helped me in 2010 when he diagnosed me with thyroid disorder and adrenal fatigue. He used a technique called NET where he finds the originating incident of “stuck” emotions with kinesiology and clears it. He practices in Dana Point, CA. Learn more here.

Dr. Barry Green

One of the most well renowned holistic therapists in San Diego, Barry started the Mind Body College and has been in practice for over 35 years. Barry has taken me to the root of my feeling of unworthiness and empowered me to heal my mother-father wounds. Learn more here.

Institute for Integrative Nutrition

I went to IIN in 2006-2007 and it changed the trajectory of my life. Even though I am not an official “health counselor” today, I use what I learned on a daily basis. It is the foundation of my work. Most people go to IIN for their own healing and end up changing their career path as a result. If you need a shift, I highly recommend enrolling. 

Celebration of Woman

I went to this four day retreat in Sept 2011 and it was the beginning of my “deep work.” I literally felt like I had been hit by a truck on the second day it was so intense. I am so grateful for this first dip into womanhood, reclaiming my femininity. Let Britta know I sent you! Learn more here.

Ennegram

One of my favorite personality tests! I’m an 8, integrating into a 2 … you’ll figure out what that means when you take the free test. This has helped me in my relationship with people … especially the 9s who I have butt heads with in the past.

Karen Solomon

My sweet angel of a woman made such an impact that I must mention her here if you are looking for relationship coaching. She’s also a stylist. One of her passions is working with younger girls. Learn more here.

My heroine who wrote the incredible book Mighty Be Our Powers and was the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner for stopping the war in Liberia. Watch her Ted talk here:
