Kind [of a] B!*ch

The truth about self love and discipline.   What are we getting confused about those two things? Are they opposites? Or are they partners?    How can adding novelty can recharge ordinary things?   How can showing up in more active ways can actually be recharging?   How do we show up when we don't want to?

Today's buzzwords are all about authenticity and vulnerability. But does too much vulnerability start to look unprofessional?   As a fellow oversharer, deep conversation haver, and somewhat open book with those I meet, learning to discern when vulnerability was appropriate was a journey.   We're talking about the fine line between sharing enough to be "human" while still being a Leader and maintai...

We've all been there. Working hard on our personal growth journey only to get completely thrown off course and think:    "Wait I thought I was over this?"   Is it a backslide?

Soft Girl vs Bad B!*ch... which one are you?!    In today's episode we're going to talk about the necessity of needing BOTH.

Let's be clear... This one's for me.    It's the season where we look at our socials and see everybody seemingly going on multiple european vacations, making money from a sailboat, or enjoying lazy days while apparently running massive businesses.    It can be hard to follow the routine when it feels like some folks have achieved something so special! What I'm learning however is that more freedom...

After a few (what I like to call) sad girl days in a row, I thought to myself "there has to be some quick tips to turn these days around."   I'm not talking about crisis or grief... I'm talking about a FUNK.   While I am a huge proponent of sitting with emotions, feeling into them, and taking time to rest, we know that continuing to be a functioning member of society does not always allow that kin...

My least favorite F Word, if we're honest.    Today we're talking about failure and how we can all reframe this very human experience into a potential positive.  This is for you if: You're holding back on doing something because you're afraid of looking stupid.    You're biting your tongue in negotiations for fear of losing it all.   Or you've found yourself reliving a moment of failure over and o...

Honesty in relationships, in friendships, in career, and with yourself....   ...Is a B!*CH.   Today we're addressing how honesty can make you a [insert favorite insult here], but it can also set you free. This has been a tough one for me to learn and it has certainly ruffled some feathers, but the more I am able to deliver honesty with kindness and care (and a backbone) the more free I am and the...

This will be a personal one.   7 years ago we adopted a dog who turned out to have some special needs we were not expecting. He has been one of my greatest teachers in boundary setting, saying no, and advocating for his comfort and safety (and everyone's safety!) no matter whether it disappoints strangers.   AM I THE B!TCH?

I did it again. I overcommitted and made plans in advance, and now the time has come for me to follow through on these plans and I am OVERWHELMED.    But someone else just asked me to help them with a project, or to attend their birthday party, or to pick my brain about how to grow their business.   If I cancel or if I cannot help, aren't they going to be disappointed? Are they going to call me a...

In order to get what you need in this life, you're going to need to be able to SELL. It's not what you think. We're "selling" ourselves every day; from negotiating a raise, courting a new partner, asking for an email response, or simply making a friend.    As a pivot-master and multi-hyphenate, I'm starting to see a pattern of strategies that have allowed me to connect quickly and level up, no mat...
