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 […]

In part one, we will focus on easy steps to identify what your personal […]

I’m about to get real with you despite the fear and anxiety this truth brings. It happened during a women’s retreat where I was one of the guides, and let me tell you, it was a humbling experience. Picture this: early February, a women’s retreat, me, a guide and leader (I was there to be […]
