“The two most powerful words when we’re in struggle:  Me Too.”  Brene Brown

The word is on the street. No one is alone anymore. Millions of women are coming forward acknowledging the burdens of silence they have been carrying around whether from single traumatic events or years of unwanted sexual advances to full on sexual assault and discrimination. Here we are: a force to be reckoned with. And...

“Imagine living a life when the only sex you can get is to force yourself on someone who doesn’t want you. That kind of sex is an act of violence, and not only towards the victim…”

Almost all of the interviews that I do these days are about consent, or more aptly the lack of it on college campuses. Reporters often begin these interviews believing that this issue is isolated to our youth, that...

“Sex is always about emotions.  Good sex is about free emotions; bad sex is about blocked emotions.”  Deepak Chopra

Here is the sad truth about the sex lives in many long-term partnerships: often it is either the glue that keeps the relationship strong or the thorn in its side, a source of persistent pain and discord. Endless books and articles substantiate both the frequency and damage of the...

“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”  George Bernard Shaw

The day I met my creative designer, the first question he asked me was: “can you change?” I paused for a moment, not really knowing what he was wanting me to change and said, “yes, I think I can change.” That was the beginning of the Good Clean Love design as it lives today. It is also a moment I often go back to in...

“Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is…”  Sara Bareilles

Getting an email today asking me to participate in a collective Carpool Karaoke video (which I didn’t even know was a thing until I got the invite…) so I needed to propose a song to sing. After listening to brief clips of old favorites all the way...

“One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one’s perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.”  Tom Robbins

It is odd how we take for granted the most basic of our sensory capacities until life teaches us otherwise. Losing our sight is one that is common to most of us as we age. Although both my parents wore...

“Service is the rent we pay for living. It is the very purpose of our life, and not something you do in your spare time.” Marian Wright Edelman

I make my home in Oregon, a hidden gem of Northwest Pacific Wonderland among our 50 states. Today hundreds of thousands of our beautiful forests are on fire. Half of all the firefighters out working are trying to quell the ravaging burn amidst scorching...

“We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience.”  The Buddha

I have been warning against the massive shift of our attention to social media for years now. I wasn’t surprised when a bunch of studies recently came outconfirming my worst fears- that social media is not really social and that the more that we do it, the worse we feel about ourselves. But new evidence suggests that...

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”  Simone Weil

Love is an inside job. Learning how to learn to love yourself is where it all begins. Without this precious self- regard, we are constantly reliant on people and events outside of our control to fill us up and measure our worthiness. It is a losing game that frequently makes us turn away from the truckloads of love that is...

Shocker! According to a new 2017 “Ingredient Confusion” study released by Label Insight, a SmartLabel solution provider, American women are concerned about what is in their personal care products.Of more than 1,000 consumers surveyed, 68% said they believe it is important or extremely important to consider the ingredients when deciding which products to buy.

“There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. How many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone’s love or even pushed it away? Much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and so find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in.”   – John Welwood
