Sometimes the dialogue in a therapy and coaching session takes us in a different direction. That’s important – actually its critical, because it means that we are expanding in whatever wisdom, guidance, help, and reprieve one can receive. And it means that you are being stretched beyond your comfort zone to places that you need to go; you need to learn about and grow.
In this first of this three part series, dedicated to learning the skills of emotional intelligence, we dive into the story of my client Anastasia.
We also review the five basic competencies of emotional intelligence and the ways in which you can build and strengthen your emotional intelligence, and why you will want to.
Emotional Intelligence was developed as a psychological theory in an article written in 1990 by Peter Salovey and John Mayer which they defined as:
“The ability to perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth.”
In this three part ‘ask dorothy’ series on Emotional Intelligence, I share three very different client stories; each of which highlights what so many of us continue to struggle with: a lack of emotional connection, loneliness and separation from self that can spiral out into other mental health challenges such as, a lack of motivation, withdrawal and isolation, a loss of control, anger, depression, suicidal thoughts, and reckless and risk-taking behavior including abuse of drugs and alcohol.
Your emotional intelligence is something that you can up-level to be more resilient in times of stress and hardship, to practice more of what you love by choice, to have greater clarity of a situation and of what you need to do; and to be able to better identify and express your true thoughts and feelings.
Join me!
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.
If you would like my help as you build these five competencies of EI (emotional intelligence) please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Seeking Love. | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 15
- Because knowing your beauty is far more valuable than being told of it. -
💜
This client story may resonate with you because it illuminates an important theme in all of our lives; and perhaps most important for all women who have at one time or another looked to their father or any man for reassurance, approval, acceptance and love.
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’, I highlight my client’s journey into self-approval and self-love and how she arrived here; her father’s absence in her life and the real experience of abandonment by him that she continued to carry the burden of even though rationally she knew that her father left her mother - and not her.
For my client Samantha, it was about proving herself worthy of love and going above and beyond in each of her love relationships, often to the extent of forfeiting her personal needs in order to find and feel love - love that was always going to be external to her, and love that was often conditional because Samantha was choosing men that unknowingly to her, were much like her father – emotionally unavailable and not skilled in being able to express and connect using their communication of feelings.
As a young girl, a daughter looks to a father for how she is valued and received by members of the opposite gender – not in a sexual way, but rather to feel pretty and beautiful and to be commended for one’s intelligence, confidence, grace, strength, perseverance, and any other of the positive qualities that empower a woman.
If a girl’s confidence is encouraged, if she is supported to use her voice, to stand by her morals, to not settle or acquiesce to other’s ideals, then a father (and a mother) have done well to raise an independent and self-assured female who is confident in her pursuit in life.

This is Self-Love.
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 14
- this episode is dedicated to each and every client that I have been able to help feel the love that exists within; and that they are capable of being -
💜
What if self-love was something that you simply need to open yourself to; and to refrain from what thoughts and then behaviours keep you closed off from feeling its incredible effects?
You may have been struggling with how to feel more self-love, or perhaps you want to live more alive and free in your life; less burdened with the state of your mind and the world.
Could you more easily feel the expression of beauty in life that exists everywhere you look?
I want to share a different perspective of self-love and one that is remarkable because self-love is your optimal state of functioning. It is how you feel at your best and most confident, and in a state of love you also live more authentic and true to who you are; uncompromising, purely creative, and carefree.
I think of it as a natural state of bliss, heaven on earth, and something that we are all able to experience here and now, and yes even in the midst of everything that we all have been living – and especially in the last couple of years.
As you align your thoughts and actions with love, you experience your higher good and your highest self as the pure energy of light.
This is how you feel when you flow easily with ideas, and as you welcome situations and as you are able to think and feel positively about your life and the world. It’s akin to feeling and expressing happiness, joy, and bliss.
So dive in with me. Open your mind and your heart to more of what you already know, or to something completely new that will help you with what self-love truly is, and how easy in fact it can be to live this.
Please check out the list of resources below for all of the goods including The Ultimate Self-Love toolkit.
If you would like my help to feel the love that you have and hold for yourself, and to live as this, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The POWER of Self-Honesty: How Honest Are You Willing To Be? | The Questions I ASK of You
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 13
- Think of self-honesty as your superpower. -
How Honest Are You Willing to Be?
It’s a question that arises often in my work with clients and it is a question that I’ve posed and suggested more times than not.
And here are a few others that you will or have already heard me ask...
Is that really true?
Is that completely and wholly honest? and
Are you begin honest with yourself right now?
As I write this I know that it's going to land exactly when you need to hear this message. It's one of the most important values of self that you could develop together with loving-kindness, and respectful behavior that you uphold.
Here’s another thought. You are inherently honest. You learn how to misguide yourself from the truth and it is a conditioned behavior that you are taught early – largely unknowingly.
It’s powerful to practice self-honesty. To be self-honest because this is how you will make the right decisions, even when your decisions will at times challenge you to face your fears, to step up, to be more, to live easier and to feel happy naturally - because in the moments you have nothing to fear, you always have truth to back you.
Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' and a little reveal of the questions that I sometimes, or often... ask of YOU.
And a little story of self-honesty from my life. 💜
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

The Snow Globe Effect: Transformation and Change | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 9
- A special episode for anyone who has faced the ending of a love relationship -
If you are listening because you have recently gone through a life change that was or was not decided by you; it can easily be overwhelming. It can cause you to question your life and what choices you have made and whether you need to rethink everything.
Change is being imposed upon us all of the time. Our lives become more abundant through the change sought through desire, growth, opportunity, new thoughts, and actions. Some change when we label it as: bad, unjust, wrong, only makes it more difficult to accept and navigate as a life experience that is causing us to break open; to think and feel and live beyond what we have - until now.
Therein is the snow globe effect - our world as we know it – shaken upside down for a time; not forever. Then as we watch in anticipation and wonder, we see the snow fall; filling all of the space inside the snow globe, delighting us in the magic of what we are witness to; creating a beautiful scene with nothing more than the simple action of movement; of changing the form of what already is -to reveal so much beauty.
In this episode I share the story of my clients Harold and Delia; and how heartfelt desire and self-honesty is necessary for the change that becomes our personal transformation. Join me!
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

THE HOLIDAY EPISODE
Practical Wisdom for Living The Magic, Wonder and True Meaning of the Holidays
The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Episode 10
A little love, magic and wonder from Season One...
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-2:09 | Episode Intro & Your Thrive Guide to the Holidays: 2:11 | Do You Attempt to Recreate Magical Moments? 2:54 | 2 Questions to Engage Your Inner Wisdom for Joy and Happiness: 5:07 | Create Your Game Plan; aka Your Holiday Strategy: 7:31 | The Full Thrive Guide Formula: 3 Best Practices: 949 | 1. Be Love: 10:08 | 2. Bring Joy: 15:39 | | 3. Offer Peace: 22:22 | Episode Summary and My Wish For You✨: 27:07 | Podcast Outro: 27:54
The psychology behind our desire to recreate and re-live our most cherished memories of holidays past is to feel that same childlike joy, fascination, and wonder that was magical.
In this episode we dive into the three best practices for cultivating the magic of the holidays in real time and the strategy for how to do this most successfully.
This is your thrive guide for the holidays.
TRUTH SERUM: You decide that something is magical and beautiful because of how you choose to think about it. Let your memories of Christmases past be inspiration as you witness the magic and beauty of life all around you. We sometimes forget our ability to conjure magic in simple things.
A-HA MOMENTS: It matters that you find and feel joy in the real meaning of the holidays. Practice being love, bringing joy, and offering peace as you cultivate the present moment experiences of wonder, joy, and enchantment at the holidays.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: It is you that co-creates the magic; by choice. This episode offers an experience of high level consciousness and the best strategy for cultivating magic, wonder and love.
~
Do you aim to recreate the magical moments of holidays past?
Do you imagine yourself at a particular moment in time during childhood where everything was enchanting and as if you were living in a fantasy?
We tend to go to moments of our childhood as they evoke imagination and powerful imagery that immediately places us back in that time of innocence, of wonder and of belief in the magic of the holidays.
Do you think back to memories that evoke pure joy, laughter and fun, so that you can feel those precise feelings now?
Discover new ways to feel the magic and wonder of the holidays by opening your heart and by being grateful for everything as it is now.
What can you say and do to bring joy and comfort to others through your kind words and actions?
Let's begin with a few questions. Right here is a perfect opportunity to engage your inner wisdom. Let whatever intuitive answers that rise up, be what you give your attention to.
What are your sources of joy?
What allows you to feel happiness easily?
Next ask yourself: How will I feel love, joy and happiness throughout the holidays?
The key here is: how will you feel this for yourself. (For example, do you need to to be kind to yourself to feel love? Do you feel joy and happiness when you are doing something that you enjoy?)
Take a few moments here and consider this. Let whatever impressions and pictures that come to mind be helpful cues for you. Record your answers so that you can remember this inspiration and implement it.
Your visual prompts and ideas will help you create a game plan.
The notes that you are making right here, right now will help you decide the strategy of the next several days and weeks of the holidays. It may also give you new ideas for the best practices in which to live your life.
As much as we all love to feel enchantment, magic and wonder, which is often cultivated by reminiscing about a past memory or experience that we associate with feelings of love and joy, I want you to decide how you will evoke these incredible feelings by choosing the specific actions and the attitude that will allow you to feel the way you want to feel throughout the holiday season.
And, and if you've already figured this out, yes indeed - this is about what you can do to evoke these feelings and not what you might wait for or hope that someone will do for you.
In thinking about how you will decide to feel the magic, wonder and love at this time of year, my hope is that this becomes a plan that inspires you to choose how you want to feel and experience life and to remember that above all else, you always have a choice and that it is you that defines your magical moments, whether at the holidays or any time because of your ability to hold presence in the moments of your life and to look for and see the beauty, the magic, in most everything; and perhaps in all of life.
What makes the holidays enjoyable, less stressful and chaotic, more nourishing of love and self-care, is a rather simple yet ingenious formula - your thrive guide if you will, consisting of three effective principles or 'best practices'.
First: 'Be Love'. Practice giving love to yourself - first.
Honor what you believe in and what is right for you (especially since others have different value systems and beliefs relating to the holidays). Ensure that you have ample time for giving to yourself; for what is important to you, and what nourishes your soul. This will always be healthy practices that allow you to feel 'in-balance', supported, and uplifted. Giving to yourself first is not selfish.
The definition of selfish is to lack consideration for others; and to seek or focus on your own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.
Giving to yourself is self-nourishing, and builds healthy self-worth. It is necessary for your well-being and positive mental state to care for and be loving towards yourself.
As you practice and nurture self-love, it is easier to be loving to others; to give to others of your time and care, because you have first been able to care for your needs.
The questions and visualization we did a moment ago was to reveal to you what you need to feel happiness, joy and the energy of love. Ensure that you take these ideas and implement them daily.
As the holidays approach and then as you become immersed in them, give to yourself as the first task of the day; even if in small ways. To acknowledge love unto yourself will have great payoffs. You will feel more 'in balance', happier, more easily able to navigate stress and challenges, and you will find it even easier to give love to others.
This first principle is also a best practice for how to live life.
Learn to take care of your needs on a regular (moment-by-moment) basis so that you can easily be at your best, and to be this with others. Consider that when you are agitated or in a low mood, it will be more difficult to wear a smile and engage with positivism.
From a positive mood state, it is far easier and less stressful to engage in conversation and to be 'on' for the moments when you are in settings that are challenging. If it helps, repeat the mantra: 'be love' or 'I am love'. It will remind you of your higher consciousness directives and it will help so much with a joyful, loving holiday experience.
How do you become better at the choices that will help you take better care of yourself and do what nourishes your soul?
How do you better assess your needs and give yourself more love when there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day for this?
Here are some best practices and the positive mindset that is needed to ensure that you take the best care of yourself because to do so is self-nourishing and self-love.
1. Self-care and self-love begin as a mindset. It's something that you must decide is important first in order for you to make this a priority in your life. In the questions that you have already answered about what are your sources of joy and happiness, use your answers to inspire a plan for how you will practice self-care, balance, and love directed unto yourself during a time of year in which you may feel more pressure and external demands from others, and especially if you are new to this practice.
This is why it's important to decide and map out in advance, what you are comfortable to do, and what you will decline.
Saying 'yes' to everything may be helpful for some, however if you are honoring your needs and if this includes a need to decline some activities, or to choose how you will participate in something because in doing so, it honors your beliefs, then following this practice of self-care and self-love will help greatly in taking care of yourself.
Discover how you can give to yourself in the ways that will sustain you and allow you to feel inherent joy; and how this is important and not selfish nor self-serving.

Second: 'Bring joy'. When you are inherently happy; when you recognize that authentic happiness is an experience that you choose; and based upon the positive feelings that you allow yourself to feel; that are inherently a part of you, you know that happiness is not the result of what others think, say, or do.
This means that at holiday gatherings, others may not always be at their best; and you as well may have hurt feelings from unresolved past situations.
Without needing anything or anyone to be responsible for your happiness, you can choose to bring joy; to show up at holiday functions and family gatherings in a positive mood state, and this allows you to spread joy; to observe how your innate happiness is like a feel good experience that is contagious.
One of the easiest ways to feel happiness instinctively is through gratitude and love. If you are being loving, you are also going to feel happiness. When you are thankful for what is in your life; for all of the good that you might take for granted, you will immediately elicit feelings of happiness from within.
Be happy and fully present with family and friends. Practice feeling gratitude and love for all that you have in your life; even as you continue to work on making aspects different or better.
The holidays are a time for many of us to come together for a short while; make this time joyful.
Consider how magical it was for you to feel joy and happiness as a child because of how others wanted so much for you to feel the magic of the holidays. Now, bring joy into the lives of others as you decide to be happy and positive and as you share of yourself fully.
"Important for the success of family gatherings at the holidays is the practice of building and nurturing your relationships throughout the year. Then, when you come together at the holidays or at any family gathering, you will have built rapport and closeness which then makes it more enjoyable and easy to be with loved ones." - dorothy zennuriye juno
What would a healthier relationship look like? What are some simple steps that would improve your relationships? How would having better relationships with family members feel?
Here are a few helpful reminders as you navigate the relationships that are important to you, and how to improve connections, gain a deeper appreciation of a loved one, and to cultivate closeness and a positive and loving relationship:
1. Practice building and nurturing your relationships throughout the year so that it will be more enjoyable when you gather for festive occasions. Far in advance of the holidays and as a practice for how you live life fully, plan to keep in touch with loved ones, to make an effort to see people that are important family members, and to address disagreements or conflict so that you can resolve what hurts you (and others) are feeling.
This is an important practice that often gets lost in the busyness of our life and yet, we gain so much from making a conscious decision to invest more in our family relationships.
I've seen firsthand how the ongoing effort to reconnect and build closer relationships leads to much healing of past situations, and an opportunity to feel closeness and comfort in being together, so that you can all enjoy this improved relationship at the holidays, and ongoing.
At the very least, prior to gathering with family and other loved ones, if there is an unresolved hurt that may take some time and effort to resolve, a phone call or loving note to your loved one, explaining your desire to overcome past hurts; will go a long way to feeling the love and making a otherwise uncomfortable situation, far more comfortable.
2. If you are not interesting in the work of building a better relationship with a family member; perhaps because you have tried and this has been one-sided; and you recognize the limitations that exist, do your best to remain neutral; to be in the moment as you are together, rather than to focus on what hurts or bad behaviors have happened in the past. You may give yourself permission to not have a relationship with every person of your extended family.
If your time with this person is limited to gatherings once a year (if that); and if you have made peace with the fact that the person is how they are; that you are not responsible for changing them; then it is important for you to offer peace in your time with them; and not to use this setting to rehash the past or aim to change them.
Practice gratitude for your ability to put in place healthy boundaries and choose instead to offer kindness and peace here in this moment.

My Holiday Wish For You. Live The Magic of Your Heart Wisdom.
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 7
In this special holiday episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share the ways in which you can live the MAGIC of this time of year, in all of the moments of your life.
Join me, as I share the secrets for returning to your childlike wonder, and to live with appreciation, hope, and the joy that fills your being; expressed as love, gratitude and happiness!
Magic arises as you choose to see the perfection and the beautiful in all of life; to look for magic; to open yourself to its definition experienced in many ways and as you choose to live hopeful, grateful and in appreciation of life’s pure blessings that shower you in a state of love; and as you continue to witness the moments that are filled with all that is still to come – so that you can imagine and live in the magic of life that you live now.
Look towards all of what possibilities of magic live everywhere.
Find the magic in the life you live now, in the precious moments that you live fully present and awake; and in what you gift to yourself as imagination and ideas that come to life.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! 🎄🕊💜
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Path of Light (Part 3/3)
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 5
“Knowledge is power. The knowledge that you hold when as you think about all that you are capable of is the knowledge of light; of wisdom – of your heart out flowing into deep and certain wonder and appreciation.” - Dorothy Ratusny
In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, we dive into the final of a three-part episodic journey into knowing your truth and how to live it.
With the knowledge that you are the co-creator of your life, you open yourself to the incredible inspiration of your soul infused with light and the messages of wonder and wisdom that you receive.
‘The Path of Light is the wisdom that each one of us is capable of living as pureness and love.” In this episode, I share what it means to live a path of light; how you must choose this intentionally... and the steps to do this.
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

Overcome the Fear of 'singlehood'| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 2
It is something that we all experience; singlehood. A time in which you are un-partnered, indivisible by one. To be single is to consist as a separate and unique whole.
And still, it may be the most avoided and feared experience together with public speaking and something that most of us would not like to admit - the fear of being alone and ‘un’ partnered as one enters the latter chapters of one’s life.
There is the obvious reason for why so many people yearn to be a part of a couple. We want to experience love and to to be loved; and to love another. It is a part of why we exist.
The love that two people share in a partner relationship has the potential to grow, to evoke and transform each one of us as we enjoy a sacred bond with another.
But if you fear being alone then what you will attract; what you will draw to you; what you will settle for will never be enough because it is chosen out of fear and not love, confidence, desire based on autonomy.
What is it that motivates us to begin looking for the next relationship and a new person to “make us happy” when the truth is... a lack of happiness can only be fixed from within one’s self.
Ultimately happiness is a choice. It is the freedom that you bring to everything you do.
It is the appreciation and love that you hold for yourself, and the choices that you make independent of another person that reminds you that you are enough; you are more than enough.
Bobby admitted to himself and to me that he was afraid of being alone. An only child to parents who themselves had a tumultuous relationship; there were some well-driven fears that were relatable. His father’s unstable mental health was a discriminant factor in what became a lonely and bittersweet marriage that drifted apart early in Bobby’s life. His mother, never remarried and his father’s relationships with women were filled with drama and conflict.
One can understand the desire for not wanting to be alone; for as an only child one can feel alone in the world; and especially after a parent or both passes.
To fear being alone means that you don’t feel the significance of being with yourself. To feel alone is to ignore the relationship with yourself that you have the potential to experience; that is how you learn that you are already complete, already whole.
Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' of The WISDOM podcast and why you need to be single for a time; why this time is significant in which to develop the relationship you hold with yourself. Then, with the confidence and self-love you possess, and the clarity of what you want in a partner; you will manifest this.
*The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. His story is real.
Sending you great 💜love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Path of Truth
+ A Guided Meditation
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 1
Welcome to Season Three of The WISDOM podcast. We begin with the premise that you already know what is right for you.
Each time that you follow a path that honours you, that supports what you want; that lifts your spirit; that nourishes your inner being and allows you to live successful to what you have always wanted, there is a certain calmness that is felt. It is a state of inner peace, and the confidence that you have found what is right and best suited for you.
This is your path of truth.
In the accompanying meditation, you are encouraged to find your sacred path into light; into goodness; into doing what is right and best for you – for the situation, and ultimately as the right teaching of your heart.
It's a meditation that is meant to be experienced as a means of starting you along your spiritual path; for deepening your connection within, and for reminding you of all of the truth and wisdom you hold.
Next Sunday at 8pm EST, join me in Part Two of this Three part series in 'How Do I Live My Truth?'
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.
