Often, I am asked, "What if I don't know who my 'authentic self' truly is?" And ten times out of ten, I respond with "Of course you do." Of COURSE you do.

Powerful AF 08.12.2021

In nearly a decade of coaching, I have learned a surprising truth about people: those who are POWERFUL AF are just as likely as anyone to find themselves caged in by life, if not more. Why? Because powerful people are feared the most and told the most lies about how they AREN'T powerful. They're told repeatedly that who they are is a mistake and everything they do is wrong. They're given the messa...

My husband, Dave, was diagnosed with an autism spectrum condition five years into our marriage. Unlike countless couples with a less-than-happy outcome - with or without the challenges of neurodiversity - we created a happier life together by changing our stories. Grab a coffee, it's time for some thought work.

Behind the Curtain: In My Real Life, In My Real Tragedy 27.10.2021

Addicted to Approval (Throwback) 20.10.2021
RE-DEFINING Self-Worth 13.10.2021

The self-help industry is valued at $11 Billion. Health and wellness? $3 Billion. DIET amounts to a $254 Billion (1/4 Trillion Dollar) industry. The subtext of these industries is toxic and damaging: "Change who you are so you can feel WORTHY." It's bullshit. YOU were born worthy of being who you are. You're worthy. It's your birthright. So let's talk about it. Grab a coffee.

What to Expect When You're Rewiring 22.09.2021

Find Your People 08.09.2021

You might think it's impossible for someone to think WHO YOU REALLY ARE is amazing because you were taught from the time you were very little that you weren't good enough. The truth is, you just haven't found your people. Your people are out there. They are waiting for YOU. They want who you ARE, not who you've been trying to be. The only way to find people who love you is by unapologetically bein...

Self-Worth: The Seeds and the Garden 25.08.2021

Whatever thought you plant in your subconscious mind is what will grow there. The subconscious mind isn't judging anything. That's not its job. It's not questioning ANY thought seed you plant. It's just there to grow the thought into a belief. So today, let's talk about tending to your thoughts to make sure the ones that serve you have the strongest roots.

Self-Worth: Being Yourself Is Not Harder Than the Alternative 11.08.2021

Clients tell me that it's hard to be yourself. It's HARD to speak your truth. It's HARD to set boundaries. It's HARD to prioritize your SELF in your own life. But they don't recognize how much more difficult it is to live in a constantly self-limited way. It is SO MUCH EASIER to live your life as YOURSELF than what you're doing now. That's what today's episode is all about. Grab a coffee and let's...
