Inner Impact

Today's episode is a quick check-in from my desk to yours. A voice note where I sit with you in the messy middle, where there's a lot brewing, shifting, and drifting, plus a sense of stuckness while waiting for the new path to form. I hope this holds space for anyone else who recognizes that swirling uncertainty. 🌀 JOIN ME AT THE OCTOBER COMPASS CIRCLE Free Zoom Gathering on Friday 9, 11 AM Centr...

Today, I explore one the most typical obstacles that keeps us stuck (a potentially infinite list of things we need to do) and how asking different questions can help us get out of the mud. 🌀 JOIN ME AT THE OCTOBER COMPASS CIRCLE Free Zoom Gathering on Friday 9, 11 AM Central Time. Clarify what you want to create next month and what can help you take action, with a sprinkle of oracle card magic. S...

Today, I explore why even the most driven among us get stuck. Using my own "struggles" as a case study, I unpack the difference between “just doing it” and understanding the specific barriers that block our follow-through.

Lately, I've been noticing something: many of us are standing at the end of a cycle, sensing change coming but not yet seeing what lies ahead. And when the destination isn't clear, taking action can feel impossible. In this episode, I share what surfaced in a recent conversation about prison abolition that reshaped how I think about uncertainty, solutions, and the questions we ask ourselves when w...

In today's episode, I'm sharing a change that has been quietly taking shape: the podcast and newsletter have a new name. It all started when I noticed that the words my clients and listeners kept using were pointing to something I hadn't fully articulated yet. I'll tell you the story of how the new name came to be, what it reveals about how I think about building a business, and the concept that n...

In today's episode, I'm naming something I couldn't quite put into words until recently: the sense of subtle bewilderment that many of us are living with right now. Between personal challenges, global crises, and the rising tensions in our countries, it makes sense that we feel lost. I'll share what helped my activist group and how this inspired a free gathering I'm hosting next week. We won't loo...

This approach is the heart of Joyful Impact Summer Camp, which opens...

In this episode, I'm digging into what happens when the expansion stage of our work cycle meets the inevitable dip in late summer. Last week, we named the "exploitation loop", that cycle of pushing until there's nothing left. Today, I want to explore what interrupts that loop before it burns us out completely. How do you reconnect with what fuels you when you're disconnected? And what does it look...

In this episode, I'm unpacking what happens when we push ourselves until there's nothing left, physically, creatively, emotionally. I call it the "exploitation loop," and it shows up in our businesses, our creative work, and our lives. Why do we keep exhausting ourselves even when we know better? Where does this loop come from? And why does it feel so automatic? Let's explore this together. We'll...

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the paradox of knowing exactly what we need to recharge, yet forgetting to do it when life gets busy.

This episode arrives a little differently than planned, and that felt worth acknowledging. I start by sharing a few honest thoughts about timing, energy, and what it means to let yourself slow down without turning it into a problem to fix. From there, I open a quiet space for reflection, the kind that doesn’t rush or demand conclusions. If the past year feels strangely far away, or if you’re unsur...

In this episode, I dig into why sometimes chasing outcomes can leave us strangely unsatisfied, and how tuning back int...

Letting go may sound easy… until you’re actually faced with doing it. It's one of those phrases that float around in all the “growth” spaces, but what if our bodies tense up at just the mention of it? In this episode, I share a personal story that made “letting go” a totally embodied practice, why our sense of safety plays a starring role in the process, and how nature can support us, too. Whether...

I found myself hesitating before hitting record on this one. You know that familiar tug-of-war—wanting every piece of content to provide “value” in just the right way, polished and perfect. But what happens when “giving value” gets tangled up with feeling valuable yourself?
