In this episode, I discuss the importance of getting the branding foundation right from the beginning, befor...

This is one of the most common blocks that I see again and again with clients, myself, and friends. We are sabotaging ourselves and preventing our businesses from growing, all in pursuit of the ever elusive "perfect" outcome.

What does the process of working with a Holistic Business coach to birth a new soul-aligned venture actually look like?

So you’ve started a business, or you’re starting a “side hustle” that you hope will grow into your main gig. . . The MOST important thing at this point is to look legitimate and professional, so potential clients/ customers know that you’re an expert in your field and that they can trust you to help them create the transformation they’re seeking.  Your website is the HOME of your brand. It’s where...

We all want to work less and make more, right?! Working 8 hours day/ 5 days a week is actually pretty crazy when you’re an entrepreneur!  You are always on, you are always putting yourself out as the FACE of the brand. You’re always doing ALL the behind the scenes work to keep the wheels moving, in addition to working with clients. This takes much more energy than a traditional job, where you have...

This is an episode that has been in the back of my mind for a while. It was a little bit challenging to record! If you haven't reflected back on your "journey", I highly suggest creating a voice memo or writing down all of the steps you've taken on the path to get to where you are. Because wherever you are, it's perfect. And I am so grateful for the long, windy, sometimes unsure path that lead me...

We hear the term “money mindset” a lot in the entrepreneurial space lately. What does this mean? How can you identify what is holding you back, when it comes to earning, spending and saving money? And how can you shift your mindset towards more abundance, ease and clarity when it comes to money?   The patriarchal society that we all live in has a lot to do with the value we place on money, and how...

Recently I returned from a three week trip to Costa Rica, which included a 6 day silent retreat in the jungle. Looking back, I see so many benefits to this period that I didn’t even count on, including taking a break from technology and my schedule, spending time immersed in nature, reconnecting to my inner voice, and much more. But one of the most valuable pieces is how it helped me nurture my cr...
