I was talking to a colleague the other day about her podcast, “Fine is a Four-Letter Word,” and I had a moment thinking about the people I know who always answer the question of “How are you?” with, “Fine.” You know these people.

The Brave Healer Blog Party is a tradition now. I hold this event at the finish of each Intuitive Writing and Speaking for Healers class I run, to showcase the incredibly talented coaches and practitioners who join me on the journey to finding and sharing our authentic voices in a bigger way.
