Joy Colour Impact & Dogs

Why should we feel we have to EARN joy? Why should it feel hard to prioritize? Instead, I'd like to introduce you to the concept of 'easy access joy'... joy that's easy to create and experience on a regular basis without having to jump through hoops. The most common objection I hear when introducing the idea of Joy First, is the fear many of us suddenly realize we have, that focusing on joy will h...

Some of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a human, a leader and a woman, have been the direct result of being in the orbit of Natalie MacNeil.  An Emmy award winning media entrepreneur, a coach, a mentor, a futurist and seer Natalie represents a lot of brilliance in a lot of ways… but to me she’s a powerfully feminine (read: gently and quietly fierce) ambassador for hope, technology...

What does passive income actually mean to you? Chances are, in a conversation about 'passive income' what you might really mean is time freedom. You want to take the pressure off of 'hourly rate' work... so that you can continue to earn more income and create more wealth, while also claiming more joy, more spaciousness, and maybe even 'time away' for things like maternity leave, holiday, personal...

Welcome to part 2 of our '10 lessons from Necker Island' (for the first 5 lessons, check out the previous episode) I was invited to Necker Island as a member of The Collective, an impact mastermind for women entrepreneurs led by Natalie MacNeil that is an official partner of Richard Branson’s Virgin Unite. It's a tremendous honor to have the opportunity not once, but twice (so far) to visit t...

Have you heard of Necker Island? How about Sir Richard Branson? If you're a serial entrepreneur like me, if you have ever sought out examples of entrepreneurs who have taken massive risks, again and again, and won - there may be no better example than Sir Richard Branson.. founder of the Virgin Group. I've been fascinated with Richard's "Screw it, Let's Do it" attitude since I very first discovere...

You might be contemplating a rebrand... but how do you know if now is the right time? Or maybe you haven't even been considering a rebrand... but you've got some discomfort or confusion you haven't yet diagnosed... and you're starting to wonder if maybe it's time to double-down on brand (building a personal brand, tightening-up your messaging or positioning, or simply up-leveling the first impress...

Today's podcast topic gets me super fired-up because it's a powerful trend that most people thing is fabulous, but is actually just not good for our wellbeing.

You're probably drawing the same lists and mind maps over and over again... You're probably focused...

A rebrand is more than just a fresh coat of paint; it’s achieving that wholeness, that cohesion that all business owners crave so desperately. In your zone of genius, what’s that one topic that people bring up again and again? Whenever I chat with someone about branding, there’s one concept that’s a near constant – cohesion . We all want that missing link that brings all the disparate parts of you...

“Instinctively we know what joy is and where to get it. . . but what does seem to evade most of those who are born into the capitalist ‘eat, sleep, shop, please, perform, produce’ lifestyle, is how to make time for it.”  -J.Nichole Smith We are raised to live in fear. We uphold money , status , and power , terrified of what will become of us if we fail to achieve them. This is about survival....

What is Color Harmony and Why Should You Care? “Most of the time we don't actively recognize 'harmony'… it's just a good feeling we get.

“By age 12, many children become set in their beliefs—giving parents a decade to mold the learning process, so that it decreases racial bias and improves cultural understanding.” – healthychildren.org Do you consider racism to be an “adults-only” kind of issue?

New Year, New You, right? Well, maybe not. Although the stats tell us resolutions do mostly work ( contrary to popular belief 40-46% of New Year’s resolved will be successful at six months)... it's not setting them that matters... but something else entirely that we'll discuss in this episode. As we enter into this season traditionally laden with fresh starts and heavy expectations of big transfor...

Today I wanted to share a couple big lessons I got from over 12 months of attending the most MEGA business retreat experiences out there, including a cruise through the Greek Islands, a private week at Denise Duffield-Thomas' Rose Farm in Australia and a week on the private island belonging to Sir Richard Branson. Sure there are some obvious highlights associated with trips with this level of luxu...

Picking back up with Denise after part 1 of our conversation (if you are joining us here jump back an episode because you won’t want to miss it) we really get down and dirty with impact, what it means, how to achieve it and be empowered by it. Do we really want to just help people in need or does it make more sense to prevent people from needing help in the first place. It’s certainly not as glamo...
