For a long time, I thought power came from pushing. Pushing back, proving myself, having the last word. If someone disrespected me or treated me like I was wrong for not agreeing with them, I felt like I had to fight until they finally saw my point. I wore myself out doing this—mentally, emotionally, and […]

Here’s a truth that many of us don’t want to face: We all have choices in life. You are not stuck unless you choose to be. When things don’t go our way, we can decide the universe is looking out for us… or we can decide it’s just more proof that nothing ever works out […]

Words matter. They impact us physically, emotionally, and energetically. The language we use shapes not just how others experience us, but how we experience ourselves. I was working with a client once who kept saying things like, “I’m grateful my plane didn’t crash,” or “I’m grateful my plants weren’t dead when I got home.” I […]

Feelings are not facts. They’re not your identity. They’re simply messengers. It’s so easy to confuse your feelings with who you are as a person. I’ve done it. We all do it. When you’re feeling anxious, it can sound like I am anxious. When you’re feeling angry, it turns into I am angry. Before you […]

Who decided burnout was noble? (Because it’s not.) Somewhere along the way, we started treating exhaustion like a status symbol. As if running on fumes means you’re serious about your work. As if sleep, space, and stillness are luxuries you’re only allowed to have if you’ve sold your soul to the gods of hustle. Honestly? […]

 And why neither requires perfection People often believe that confidence means having it all together and knowing what to say. Getting it right all the time. Being sure and being in control. But that version of confidence is often rooted in performance, not truth.It’s what we’ve been taught to value: polish, certainty, perfection, dominance. This […]

Perhaps This Is an Unpopular Opinion, But Detailed Planning Is Overrated Ok, I know you Type A people pleasers are shaking your head at me. But hear me out, please. We’ve been taught to worship at the altar of being organized. Having all our ducks in a row. Knowing all the pros and cons. It’s […]

You Can’t Manifest Around Misalignment We love to think a carefully curated vision board and a sprinkle of “good vibes” will magically manifest the life we’re dreaming of. But here’s the hard truth: no amount of glittery affirmations will land if your internal wiring is in chaos. Manifestation isn’t about plastering over your fears with […]

(Why your support system is incredible—but still not the same as working with a coach) Let me start with this:Having strong, soul-nourishing relationships is a gift.The kind of friendships where you can text “WTF am I even doing?” and get an instant voice memo of love, tough truth, and memes? Pure gold. And if you’re […]

Let’s talk about the block that doesn’t show up on your to-do list—but keeps wrecking your momentum. Most people think what’s holding them back is external.Not enough time.Not enough money.Not the right strategy, or skillset, or network. But if you’ve been spinning your wheels, even when you do have the knowledge, the plan, or the […]
