Leading Yourself

oday, I want to talk about a quote that’s been sitting with me lately. It’s from George Bernard Shaw, who said: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

It's October, and if you're anything like me, you might be feeling that familiar end-of-year fatigue starting to creep in. You know what I'm talking about—that feeling where your initial New Year's excitement has worn off, but December still feels so far away. You're tired, maybe a little burned out, and the thought of pushing through the final quarter feels overwhelming. Well,...

Learning to no longer be young — to accept and understand that stage of life — is the longest and hardest lesson we face. It’s often interpreted not as a lament about getting older, but as an observation that maturity is a continuous, lifelong process — one that requires wisdom, humility, and grace.

I can’t believe we’re already in October. And if you’re anything like me, this time of year comes with two competing thoughts: On one hand, ‘Wow, the year is almost over.’ And on the other, ‘Wait… I still have so much I wanted to do this year!’ Here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait until January to make a fresh start. In fact, October is the perfect time to refocus, reset, and reignite your...

“True wisdom isn’t in knowing all the answers, but trusting yourself to handle whatever comes.”

Last week we talked about the habits that hold us back — the ones that quietly keep us stuck. And you know me, I believe every coin has two sides. Which means… if there are habits that drain us, there are also habits that can lift us up. So today, we’re flipping that coin. I’m sharing seven super-simple habits that can transform your day — not months from now, but in just a matter of days. Think o...

Today, I want to talk about something we all wrestle with — habits. But not the good ones like drinking water, moving your body, or journaling. I’m talking about the sneaky habits that keep us stuck . And here’s the tricky part — these habits don’t always look ‘bad.’ Some of them masquerade as hard work, high standards, or just being realistic . But if you zoom out, you realize they’re the very th...

Now, I didn’t go into this certification because I wanted another title or to check another box.

“Self-discovery is a journey of peeling back the layers until you find the real you.”

“Your potential is limitless. Only your own beliefs can hold you back. Choose beliefs that empower you.”
