I’m so sick of the hustle mentality. It’s time someone called BS on the toxic “hustle culture” that’s burning us all out. You know the drill. Wake up at 5am, crush a protein shake, bang out a 5 mile run…and that’s just before your first meeting. The message is clear: If you’re not running yourself […]

I know you may have cringed with the subject line here but I’m watching so many of us fall apart at the seams and we need to have another chat about the importance of self-care. You might think it’s all bubble baths and spa days, but let’s face it — sometimes you just need to […]

“Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.“ I love this quote from Goethe because it doesn’t say “whatever you know you can do.” He says “whatever you think you can do” or “believe you can do.” Our beliefs shape our reality. […]

You may be searching for motivation, but that’s not where you should be looking. No matter who you are or what your job is, consistent output is important. You may even say it’s crucial to success.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just dream something up, decide how to get it and then have all of the puzzle pieces fall perfectly into place? It’s a lovely little image, isn’t it? But reality is, our lives and businesses take many different twists and turns and, sometimes, we never get to that […]

We all have that one task—the one that makes us groan just thinking about it. The one we’ve pushed to the bottom of our to-do list, buried under a mountain of less daunting tasks. Avoidance becomes our companion, and the longer we avoid, the more daunting the task seems. But there comes a moment when […]

Through years of self-work I’ve come to learn that alignment (which is a word I use often) is less about achieving a state of perfection and more about embracing a journey of awareness and continuous recalibration.   Alignment is often misconstrued as a destination—a perfect place where everything falls neatly into place, and life flows without […]

I remember the day it all came crashing down. Clients were lined up out the door (this is a good problem, of course, but I was at max capacity and something had to give) and all I could do was scroll through Facebook. I was working hard but I was not working smart. I was […]

When I first started my business, I thought I needed to be available 24/7 in order to be successful. That led clients to think I was always available and caused frustration and exhaustion on my part. I knew I couldn’t continue like that so I took a serious look at what I wanted and identified […]

A Love Affair… The most successful people out there, the ones who appear to have it all together, are in on an amazing secret. They know of something that basically guarantees their potential for greatness and they make it a daily habit. Guess what, so do I! One might consider it a secret love affair. […]
