One lesson I’ve learned and re-learned over the years is the importance of values.  Especially in business, our values are what can ground us when wobbly, give us clarity for the future, and what we can always reconfigure to fit our ever-changing BEING.  Our brand values – not to be confused with core values – are so important in fact, that I’ve dedicated this entire show to...

I’ve been in business for 17 years.  17 years I’ve learned and unlearned and found a framework that’s worked for me.  It’s one that allows me to keep myself balanced and sane and focused in my business.  It’s one you can use too.  It simply cultivates both the BEING and the DOING in our lives so we can really get to the secret sauce of what we have to offer this world.  I’...

Let me start by saying – I’m not a big pot smoker, I’m not into drugs, this isn’t part of my usual routine.  But I accidently had a trip.  I won’t give away the whole story (it’s more fun to listen to it) but one of the amazing things about it (maybe the only amazing thing) was the amount of lessons I took from it.  Now, I’m not saying a trip is the way to gain your lessons, b...

I want to share a valuable truth with you today:  You have everything you need.  I’m realizing that there is a lot of noise out there.  Noise that we are missing out, that should/could do more, that we aren’t as good as, etc.  It’s so easy for us humans, especially us business owners, to fall into this noise.  In this episode it’s my intention to remind you that you have e...

Bet on Yourself Again & Again  Stop stopping yourself. I said it.  It’s time to stop stopping yourself.  The truth is, we are the ones holding ourselves back.  We are the ones not giving ourselves permission, waiting to be rescued, looking to something else for our purpose.  We’ve got to start betting on ourselves.  I started years ago and it’s changed my world.&n...

Are you a self-leader?  What does that mean to you?  For me, being a self-leader is what allows me to move from crappy to sassy.  It’s the reason I can take ownership of my thoughts, actions, and feelings.  In fact, I find it to be very powerful and one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.  You can have this gift too.  I’m sharing how and what I know to be true ab...

How familiar are you with your cycles of expansion and contraction?  I find myself in an upleveling season right now…and with that comes pitfalls.  I’ve seen and experienced these uplevel cycles many times before and have come to learn some pitfalls that come along with them.  I want to save you some time and misery, so I’m sharing these 3 major pitfalls, and what you can do i...

  Have you ever belonged to a mastermind group or considered it?  If so, this episode is one I think you’ll enjoy.  I’m breaking down the lessons I’ve learned from belonging to (many) mastermind groups, including high-level ones, over the years.  There’s a LOT I share in this episode, but just to give you an idea, I share:  2:50 – What is a high level mastermind and...

How GOOD can you let it be?  I was asked this poignant question a few years ago and it really helped me see that sometimes I was shutting out the good with the bad.  I wasn’t allowing the good.  The same has felt true for my own ambition.  The truth is that my ambition has scared me.  That’s no longer the case. Now, I see “joyful ambition” as a possibility for me – f...

Do you know which phase of business you are in?  You will after listening to this episode!  I’m breaking down the 3 core phases of business so you can determine which you are in and have some guidance and framework for where to focus and how to create your unique strategies for each phase.  These have been so helpful for myself and my clients and helping us understand our business’...

Are you ready to take aligned action (aka be a DOER) in your business?  If you are as ambitious as I think you are, I bet the answer is yes.  Sometimes we get stuck in the “BE” part of ourselves, dreaming of our desires and who we are becoming that we disconnect from the DO part.  I offer you my knowledge and support in how you can enjoy both the BE and the DO (and the HAVE) in this...

Let’s slow down for a moment together.  As we come to the end of the year, I know many of us are racing to see 2020 end.  I understand why we are doing this, but I want to also encourage you to pause for a moment and reflect.  The truth is, January 1st can mean something big for us, or it doesn’t have to mean anything.  We don’t know what may change in 2021.  We can’t cont...

I’m coming at you fired up about some lessons I learned in 2020.  2020 has been a weird year, right? With Covid and the election I spent a portion of 2020 stressed  and overthinking, but I’m glad I did.  Because these lessons didn’t come easily, but they are BIG lessons.  They’re big lessons for me, for you and for the world.  Enjoy this little recap and dive into my 2020...

Did you pick a word of the year this year?  I picked 3 (y’all know I’m not concise, why start now!).  You may remember, they were : Open Heart Slow Tango Big Profit Of course, I thought I knew what those meant for me this year. Then 2020 happened.  Now that I have actually experienced these words this year I have some reflections on them and what they really meant.  Sharing thi...

Some things in the personal development world drive me nuts. There are 3 things in particular that I’m just not down with.  Not because I just have a pet peeve, but because they are promises that I KNOW lead to misery in my clients.  They are ways of thinking and telling us to BE that just don’t jive with me.  I’m gonna debunk these 3 places where I feel mainline personal developmen...

If you’re like me, you’re coming off a long weekend celebrating Thanksgiving in a way that’s not familiar.  Maybe you created new traditions, or had another family Zoom, whatever it was, it probably wasn’t “normal’. You may be naturally reflecting back on this year as well, and as we look back it’s easy for us to remember how awful 2020 was.  I want to remind you that it was wonderful to...

I heard a question the other day that asked, “are you an ambitious leader or an authentic leader”?  And something hit within me when I read that.  They gave an either/or. You had to pick one.  But I can’t pick one.  I am a woman of range.  We all are. We’re people of range.  Not either/or.  We can be ambitious AND tender.  Heart-centered AND desire profit.&n...

The best advice I can give you in any situation – and especially when you are feeling off – is to just breathe.  The simple act of a breath connects your head and body to your spirit.   We’ve been enduring a lot this year, mentally, socially, physically, and if you are like me, you are feeling the need for some DEEP breaths. This week, I want to invite you to actually ta...

I can’t believe I haven’t done today’s podcast before honestly. It’s all about being a decider.  The decider in your biz, your life, your family, FOR you.  I want to share this today because I see many of you suffering in drama, in money stuff, in not having the success you want in your biz, in things that honestly, you can control.  Sometimes it’s easier to froth and not choose tha...

How do you get work done in your business?  I used to be the type of person that ONLY took inspired action.  Meaning I waited until I felt a hit of inspo and then I moved fast, took risks, and liked the stimulation of the challenge.  Inspired action was rewarding. It was great when I was building my biz.  However, it gave me holes too – in my creativity, in my business, i...

Well hell… I got caught in my own teaching this week.  I found myself avoiding the next right step.  Maybe this sounds familiar… You have a task or goal or “to-do” in front of you that subconsciously you are avoiding by: procrastinating “getting ready” to get ready getting stuck doing absolutely anything else feeling doubt overthinking   I call this frothing .  It’s a nerv...

Let’s talk about drama… Have you been experiencing more of it lately?  It seems like we all are.  I want you to understand the purpose drama plays in our brains and the impact it can have in your business. This week’s podcast is all about DRAMA…what it is, where it is useful, and where it makes things worse.  The truth is we don’t need to make it worse… We all may be practicin...
