The Badass Method™
Start living with more sass and soul
& what you already know!
Before there was a method, there was a mess, and a sneaky voice proclaiming with a lot of Italian hand gestures and Jewish guilt, “You made terrible choices. How are you going to climb out of this midlife rubble?”
Underneath that noise was a yearning for what had vanished, and hope that my life could still be full of bigly dreams and beauty.
What emerged from that gritty season of midlife rebirthing became a repeatable framework: The Badass Method™.
Essential to The Badass Method is rewiring beliefs. Be warned. It’s uncomfortable at times. There are a lotta crappy stories interfering with our desire to live La Bella Vita.

How The Badass Method Works
The Badass Method is a blend of soul, science, somatics, language, love, practical mindfulness and intentional woo-woo to spark change and break patterns that don't serve us.
For example, I often play with language.
Wordsmithing captures attention and wakes up the brain.
Brains have to be efficient, so novelty is essential to get our noggins to interrupt autopilot and invite curiosity. Curiosity leads to growth which leads to change.
That is why the language inside The Badass Method is deliberate and playful with a purpose.
Language shapes perception. Perception shapes belief. Belief shapes reality.
Change beliefs, and that is how we can transform our lives. Also known as the Big M: Manifesting.

The Philosophical Core: From Performing to TransformingAt the heart of The Badass Method™ are two uncomfortable truths.
Much of modern mindfulness practices have become more performative than transformative. And gratitude and appreciation are not the same experience, energetically.
We do the vision boards, repeat the mantras, read the books and journal… and a year later, there’s little if any change because checking off boxes doesn’t shift our habits.
And while gratitude can be beautiful and grounding, it can ask us to shrink our longing, silence our disappointment, and feel thankful before we feel honest.
AWEpreciation moves differently: like an asset that appreciates, it expands what is real, alive, useful, beautiful, revealing, strengthening, or becoming, which is why I call Gratitude the Great Gaslighter and AWEpreciation the Awesome Amplifier.
Why Did I Call it The Badass Arts™?
Because badassery is an art, something you practice and hone.
Because the goal is to be a beautiful, spiritually aligned, creative woman who lives and loves on her terms, truth, and calling.
It's the art of trusting yourself, of choosing wisely, of loving like a badass.
It’s the art of cultivating a life that's bigger than your fears and truer than your excuses.
It’s the art of living bigly with sass, soul, and substance.
The Badass Lexicon
Here’s a list of meaning-loaded words to bring life to our adventures in badassery.
Radical AWEpreciation™ is the art of witnessing with unfiltered reverence that even the mundane becomes holy. It feels like a full‑body “I feel this, I experience this, I embrace this.”
Doubt Goblins™ are limiting beliefs and sneaky inner critics like fear, judgment, shame, and comparison, that sound like “who do you think you are?” in a ratty trenchcoat. They thrive on overthinking, feed on second-guessing, and lose power the moment we name them out loud.
Bigly Feels™ are the full range of our emotions including the ones we struggle with and were taught to manage, minimize, apologize for, or shove into a drawer.
Pattern Paralysis™ is the gap between insight and embodiment. It’s what happens when we can see the loop, name the loop, analyze the loop, explain the loop, and still find ourselves living inside the loop.
Badassfirmations™ are affirmations we Believe that move us toward living and manifesting with greater badassery.
Credit for SoulJourns™ goes to my beloved. It’s fancy for Soul Journey, the intentional return, pause, breath, and descent into the part of us that remembers who we were before the world told us who to be.
Dream Biglys™ are our dreams that feel “too much,” “too bold,” or “too unrealistic” — the ones that tug at our ribcage anyway as we lean into making them as real in the 3D world as they are in spirit.
