of being grateful for who you are and who you continue to become.

Set Yourself Free
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Bonus Episode 1
~ This is a message of healing and personal choice ~
💜
Maybe it is one of the hardest decisions - to let go of another person and a relationship that you have had all of your life.
Maybe you have deliberated this for some time, and questioned yourself about your decision to step free.
This episode follows some of the earlier content of Season Three on the topic of abuse, of trauma, and of the ways in which we can heal ourselves.
I wrote this episode as a message of healing and to offer you permission to step away; to set yourself free from those who continue to be hurtful and who have repeatedly shown you that they are not ready nor willing to change.
Whether the pattern of abuse and trauma has occurred in your family of origin, or if it has existed in a workplace environment ~ and if you have felt trapped and unable to break free, let this episode offer you the permission in which to free yourself ~ and to stand strong on your own ground of what you know is right and best for you.
Remember that you need to choose this because others have chosen to continue in their abusive and harmful words and actions.
There is no blame, only acceptance and permission ~ to live in peace.
I hope that my words here will help you ~ empower you ~ liberate you to live free.
Namaste! 💜

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 64
~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~
💜
Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Perhaps in anticipation, in anxiety, in the realization that something is not going as you had hoped?
Maybe your hold your breath when you think about what magic lives in store for you and your future - like when you daydream and wish and manifest your heartfelt desires?
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words.
Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.
Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”
Waiting to exhale is the other side of waiting to enjoy life’s precious moments because you are focused in the end goal rather than the entire journey and what more you seek and learn from the total sum of your experiences.
The lessons are the magic. They are the ways in which life avails to us the importance of our path ~ of the miracles that continue ceaselessly all around us and in all moments and with our conviction.
What are you waiting for?
What are you wishing to change or have or be that seems far reaching and yet perfect for you to discover and experience now?
The perfect basis of your beautiful nature lives inside of you.
To seek and know it is the essence of life in its truest form.
Sending you great 💜 love...

The Dangers of Self-Sacrifice | Q and A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 32
~ Here I answer the questions:
'What is Self-Sacrifice?' and 'How do I know if I am doing this?' ~
💜
The definition of self-sacrifice is not holding belief in yourself; in allowing others to direct your life, in needing false approval and permission from others rather than following through on your own ideals and what matters most to you ~ and of standing tall and in the full authority of knowing that you are more than good enough, accomplished, and successful as you are.
At anytime if you make decisions that impede your life, if there is damage that you cause to yourself because of action or inaction that is unkind, unrelenting, self-critical and self-effacing you are creating damage and suffering.

Self-sacrifice carries many forms. It is complex and at times complicated because there can be a fine line between doing for others out of love and loving them completely and action that is driven by fear and impressed upon by ego ~ fear of losing someone’s love, fear of judgment by another, fear of negative consequences, fear of recrimination, the ego’s need for power, praise, authority, and self-righteousness.
Anytime that you act out of fear or ego rather than pure love, you risk sacrificing yourself ~ your happiness, your needs and your highest level ideals because your intentions and actions are misaligned ~ they are not pure nor authentic nor honourable.
It is dishonouring yourself and your morals and values in a way that causes you to feel diminished and less than whether in return for something that feeds your ego or offers a false sense of respect, power, comfort, and privilege.
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 have been struggling with a lack of self-respect, if you continue to self-sabotage thinking it is the answer to feeling loved or cared for, please let me help you live your truth.
Self-sacrifice is not a solution. Self-sacrifice is a lack of self-respect.
Let me help you rebuild the honour and dignity that you deserve. Sending you great love. namaste! 🙏
For this episode, I have curated a formula to release you from self-sabotage and self-sacrifice. Find the PDF here: The Formula for Freedom from Self-Sacrifice
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Love Notes to Yourself ~ A Spiritual Practice
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 28
💜
~ Love notes are to remind you of the words that you can choose to live by.
They are the wisdom that uphold and support you ~ that mesmerizes with the sacred honesty that you need to live ~ and the reassurance that you are more than enough as you already are. ~
The idea of Love Notes written ~ and then read ~ spoken silently or aloud are the real ways in which you receive divine communication. It is how you experience loving-kindness ~ it is what you need to feel reassured, cared for, loved unconditionally, supported, and it is the guidance that you need in all moments.
Right now more than at any other time in the history of our lives, we need to make the right choices based on the wisdom of our highest self ~ and with this ~ to be reminded of what is our right choice and the positive actions that will allow us to thrive. For this it is important to know how to access this inner truth and to do so often.
The practice for opening yourself to this divine communication is what I call ‘Love Notes to Yourself’ because they are the words and messages of wisdom and guidance that remind you that you are never alone ~ and that you can always access your inner wisdom for answers, ‘right’ guidance, and the truth that will help you.
Communicating with your highest self (or whatever words you associate with this most reverent and pure and eternal state of consciousness) is how you (how each one of us) may live more confidently. It is how you may know yourself more completely and to experience self-love as a natural and ongoing state of being.
If you want to feel self-love, if you want to know what this experience truly is ~ open your heart to the love that exists for you ~ from the eternal source of love.
The idea and practice of writing love notes from your highest self to your present moment self is an ever conscious and life affirming space for you to receive what reassurance, wisdom, kindness, encouragement and the practice of what will be a way for you to receive precisely what you need.
Join me for a deep dive into how to write a love note to yourself ~ to have the most incredible impact on your confidence and self-esteem and to remind you of all that you can be now.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Your Epic Summer Bucket List!
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 60
~ Your epic summer awaits... ~
💜
This episode is dedicated to my client Kenzie and every teenager who is excitedly planning and dreaming about what will be their epic summer!
I’s time for both the thrill and the ease of summer. We’ve earned it.
This is your summer to soar – to move in the world with love, and to embrace the idea of limitless possibility.
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share with you the first annual summer epic bucket list that happens to be the brainchild of my client Kenzie who graciously said ‘Yes!’ to allowing me to use her first name and to share much of her list ~ to which I couldn’t help but think that at 15, not only is she wise beyond her years for the items that she has chosen on her list, but also most of these items are what you and I would benefit from and enjoy as well.
Kenzie asked me spontaneously during one of our recent sessions if she could share some of her summer bucket list. We then set out to add a few more items and what I loved was her impromptu explaining of why these were important to her.
Perhaps you too will contemplate why the items on your summer bucket list are meaningful to you. When we name the reasons for why something is important to us, it becomes even more special and we are more likely to seek that out.
As I share some of Kenzie’s list here, let it inspire you to create your own epic summer bucket list!
Enjoy where your ideals and wish-filled desires lead you – beyond adventure, beyond self-awareness and autonomy and into what magic is in store for you as you reach beyond the typical and as you embrace every moment of summer!
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

The Official Name Change Episode
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 59
~ "Change is needed. Change is inevitable. Change is freedom.” - dorothy zennuriye juno ~
💜
What bold and daring decision have you made a reality?
Do you follow your heart regularly and do you follow it through to where it leads you?
Have you ever done something radically different and then fallen in love with it?
Have you ever felt an inner desire that you gave your attention to that spurred you towards action ~ whether it was to write a book, learn an instrument, build a garden, , move your life to a different geography, have a child, give up an addiction, or perhaps to fall in love with yourself and your life?
There are some of the many experiences of making decisions driven by an awakened voice within you and the conscious desire to evolve and transform ~ to live full on and unapologetically as your true self ~ even if at times, you may not know (just yet) where the path unfolding ~ will lead.
This episode is dedicated to each one of you as you begin the steps ~ a simple yet excitable idea that launches you towards sight unseen, what will become a future revelation of you ~ and at other times the giant and indeed scary leaps forward ~ towards the vision you have always held ~ your heart certain ~ all that you need to do is follow its urging towards something new and always in hopes of a brighter and more compelling life ~ that you are choosing.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

A Love Note of Forgiveness
Words of Wisdom for Self-Forgiveness
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 27
"You are forgiven."
These are the words spoken to offer you a clean slate to remind you that for anything that you have ever said or done, for whatever has happened, for anything that you continue to blame yourself for – that you are forgiven.
What if this were possible?
Would it change how you feel about yourself?
Would you be able to let go of some or perhaps all of what has caused you to feel guilty, alone, sad, sorrowful, remorse or regret?
Can complete forgiveness directed towards yourself for every unkind or hurtful word or action, for every envious, angry, critical thought that you’ve held ~ be a positive step – or even the solution to break free of what holds you back?
This is what we all intrinsically seek. We all want to feel whole and this is why we go in search of it ~ whether consciously or subconsciously.
Join me in this Episode for a certain and radical way to free yourself ~ and to experience self-love and wholeness.

Self-Discipline is What Makes You Successful
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 54
~ The discipline supports the benefit. ~
💜
If you want to live more disciplined, if you want to take self-discipline to the highest level to live this easily and to allow it to work for you in creating a life even more successful and satisfying, this episode is for you.
Discipline is a teachable subject. We learn it first as it is modelled by our family of origin and we learn as we seek to be and become more.
Discipline is tenacity. It is strength. It is willingness to take the steps that manifest your goals and dreams. Self-discipline is what drives and also inspires the work that you do and what action becomes habit, routine, normalcy as a way of life.
In this episode of 'ask dorothy' meet my client Gavin who initially blamed his poor choices and his overall unhappiness on his girlfriend and others before the reality check of criminal charges and being on the verge of academic expulsion stirred within him - the fire of 'tapas' and the self-discipline he needed to turn his life around.
* The name of my client has been changed to protect his privacy. His story is real.

'ask dorothy'
Fall In Love With Your Life
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 52
~ Live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ~ 'perfect as it is’.
This is 'Santosha' or contentment. ~
💜
In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I ask you the questions. They are questions intended to provoke self-introspection, self-realization and a new dialogue for who you want to be.
What can you hold your heart open to? What can you live in full appreciation and contentment of – here and now?
To say the words to yourself ‘I AM content’ in any moment ~ becomes a visceral and definite reminder of a state of being that you choose deliberately. As you truly align with your words, you are already that much closer to happiness and joy.
We choose contentment because we are present with the experiences of each moment without judging them right or wrong, good or bad.
Something important about the teaching of santosha ~ it calls upon us to acquire the skill of abiding calm – an unshakable centre that exists when you realize that there is nothing missing in each moment. There is nothing missing in your life.
There is also space for you to create whatever you wish for and then to take the steps that will bring what is wanted to you.
If you live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ‘perfect as it is’ – this is the practice of santosha – to allow life to reveal itself to you in each moment without you needing to control or seek or grasp something different. This is the path and the joy of living content.
I remind clients of this who become mired in their focus upon what is wrong with their lives or who require certain circumstances in order to feel content.
For example, they will be happy once their son graduates from high school because right now he is behind one full semester, or they will be happy when their divorce is complete because it has been dragging for several months and draining their energy, or happy when they lose the weight they have gained and lost and gained again because they continue to self-soothe through eating.
If you remove yourself from the opportunity and the experience of contentment because you are not where you want or need to be ~ it is no different then when I decided I wouldn’t enjoy cycling because of the effort of hills to climb without contemplating how one can be content in the moment of the climb.
We climb hills every day metaphorically ~ challenges before us, tasks and responsibilities that need our attention and effort.
If you choose to approach your life content, it will lead you into authentic happiness and it will invite you to experience more of life’s wonder and beauty and it will allow you to be content even if you feel discouraged, frustrated, lonely, or sad.
Join me as we discuss how to live in full contentment of your life. I also share four of the best practices of santosha - contentment for you to live now. Namaste!!
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Truth Sets You Free
'ask dorothy'
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 42
~ Truth will lead you out of darkness because it is in illuminating ‘what is’ that you then may in the very next moment, find your path again and into the light. ~
💜
This episode picks up where we left on last in our discussion of the five Yamas – moral disciplines that are recorded in the ancient philosophical texts of the Yoga Sutras and here I dive into some ‘Q and A’ on the topic of truth.
Truthfulness or ‘Satya’ is the second yama or limb of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and this moral vow holds many secrets for how we can free ourselves from our suffering.
There are many ways that truth finds you. As much as some may avoid truth’s yearnings you can never avoid or deny its huge revelations.
I’m going to let you in on a huge secret to what will always bring joy into your life and for what will always reassure you – to live honourably – to feel supported in your decisions – and to always guide you along a right path.
Satya the Sanskrit word for truth is the definitive ground. It is what supports and upholds all of your faithful decisions. It is truth that compels you to seek change and to honour what you stand for and believe in.
Truth is how you create relations and connection and how you show yourself to be trustworthy and reliable. You need to know ‘what is’ true with accuracy and factual information in order to make the right and best decisions.
Truth is not always easy. It is not always what you want to hear or know especially if what is desired is something different. Let me say here that the truth will always be what you need to know.
You can work with truth. You can find your way to your right answers when you have the correct and accurate information.
Making a decision of any importance needs to rest upon knowing the truth.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

What is Your Path of Joy? | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 36
- The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honors your heart in light of your moment by moment choices. -
💜
Timestamps:
Podcast Theme Intro: 0-1:32 | An Intro to this Episode and A Memory of 'Joy' of My Life: | What is Your Path of Joy? Question For Your Contemplation: 2:53 | My Client Sarah*: 5:04 | Sarah's Path of Joy: 6:42 | How Joy is Experienced: 9:10 | How Sarah Would Reclaim Her Path of Joy: 9:55 | The One Protocol That Will Always Illuminates Your Path of Joy: 11:32 | Podcast Theme Outro: 13:43
What is your path of joy? How is joy your inspiration; leading you on your journey through life? Where in your physical being do you feel joy? How does joy reveal itself to you?
For my client Sarah, joy became a desired longing and a precious gift the longer that she remained out of joy.
In our session, Sarah reminded herself of her path of joy – of how it felt as the energy of lightness and ease and of the happiness.
Joy is experienced in the simple and deliberate expressions of gratitude and abundance. Joy is always with you. It is easily accessible as you acknowledge its existence and as you hold a place in your heart for its infinite love in the present moment ~ and in your pure witnessing of it.
The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honors your heart in light of your moment by moment choices.
Sarah would need to be wholly honest with herself to reclaim her path of joy. You need to do the same. We all do. Joy is easily accessible. It is the acknowledgement of all that you are in appreciation of, and the kindness you hold in your thoughts and words for yourself and others.
Joy lived in Sarah’s expression of honesty and acknowledgement of what she needed to be happy.
Could you live in your expression of self-honesty? Could you follow what is truly your right path, moment by moment?
*My client’s name has been changed to maintain confidentiality.
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 honor your path and your life.
If you would like my help to find your path back to joy and authentic happiness, please reach out to me.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

How to Release the Trauma You've Been Keeping. Emotional Intelligence and Trauma | A Real Life Client Story
Part 3/3 on Emotional Intelligence
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 24
Warning: Sensitive Content
~ Your past trauma does not define you. ~
Here in Part Three of this series, we discuss how trauma impacts emotional reactivity – namely, situations where you are triggered based on a previous trauma - thereby causing the same or a similar heightened emotional reaction.
How well you react in a present moment situation that is triggered by a past trauma is reflected in your level of emotional intelligence.
Since trauma can alter brain functioning and therefore our ability to regulate emotions, we dive into how the brain is impacted by trauma and the importance of neuroplasticity - making it possible to re-wire our brain, to learn healthy coping responses and to change your fear reaction in perceived and real situations of stress.
Thank you so much for joining me in this 3-part series on emotional intelligence. Please share out each of these episodes with a loved one who could be helped by building greater emotional intelligence.
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 to build your Emotional Intelligence as one part of your plan to overcome the reactions of a traumatic experience, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
