Share Guest post by Laura Scholz. I was always a good Southern girl. I grew up going to church every Sunday. I was high school valedictorian and graduated from college magna cum laude (and yes, I’m still bitter about that B+ that kept me from graduating summa). I didn’t drink until I was 20. I [...]

The Tree That Wasn't There Before
Share Guest Post by Carla Young One day we planted the tree that wasn’t there before and what happened next symbolized the magnetic power of living your truth. From out of nowhere birds appeared. One after the other after the other. From nowhere and everywhere, they flocked to the tree that wasn’t there before to [...]
How to Change the World
Share A few weeks ago Pace & Kyeli of the Freak Revolution interviewed me for their World-Changing Writing Workshop, and asked me a question no one has asked me before: “How will Live Your Truth change the world?” The problem is I don’t think of it that way. The great work of my life is [...]
How to Be a Curious Monkey
Share Guest post by Wendy Maynard. I’m a tryer on of things. Perhaps it comes from being born in the Year of the Monkey, but I’m driven by curiosity.

The Full Madonna (On Mothering, Using the F Bomb, and being True)

Do You Deserve to Live your Truth?
Share Guest Post by Lisa Robbin Young Sitting still is a rarity for me. Even when writing, I’m usually still for about 5 minutes between entrepreneurial distractions, kidstractions, and other demands. Today, though, I was in the middle of some planned reading. @chipconley‘s “Peak” has been in my hands for about 4 weeks – and [...]
The Bulldog Lie (Or, My First Moment Of Truth)
Share Guest post by Allison Nazarian. When I was 7- or 8-years-old, puffy stickers were all the rage. My girlfriends and I would sit and talk and trade and arrange and organize them for hours on end. “Puffy Stickers” became the name of an actual activity, as in, “See ya later, Mom, I’m going to [...]
The Role of Make-Believe in Finding Your Truth
Share Guest Post by Catherine Caine. Hello, my name is Catherine and I am a geek. A super-geek, in fact. I read comics, I play World of Warcraft and Rock Band, I read XKCD and understand all the jokes. I talk about websites all day. And I play role-playing games. You know, like Dungeons and [...]
10 Moments, Part 1: Being Inconclusive & Getting Screwed
Share So how did I get from a 12 year old girl who wanted to be a physicist, to the women with the Live Your Truth tattoo on the inside of my wrist? As some of you know, I could tell stories for hours, and while a few of you may find that entertaining, a [...]
