Lets Be Honest Before We Start Pretending

I often get asked, “what do I do with the goals I had from last year, is it ok to continue with it this year, is it still a worthy goal?”  The answer of course, is “what do you think?” and YES, keep it going.  Here’s why.  Worthy goals inspire action, motivation, and passion. They begin the goal-setting process because they encourage you to dream big. These big dreams are important...

We are fast approaching the holidays, and whenever I think of that the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” runs through my head like an ear worm!  It also makes me giggle because what I know is that often the holidays create a level of stress that is the opposite of the song’s message.  You may know that what drives that is “should”, it’s true.  Today we dive into having...

Today Carolyn Stine and I are going to have a conversation about the importance of storytelling as both a tool for connecting you deeply to your audience, what it opens within you to be s...

Something I’ve been exploring a lot of is this mysterious thing called “self-care”.  We hear about it all the time and yet what does it really mean?  It’s different for everyone and certainly is a vehicle to being the best version of you and yet start to have a conversation about it and you might be met with some eye rolls. Why is that?  For many, self-care isn’t something that is s...

You know you are a genius, right? Ooooh just that question alone can really stir up some uncomfortableness.  I get it, we often dim our brilliance, as if it is not ok to shine and shine bright.

As we move through August, we are talking about things from the context of comfort zone and th...

One of my favorite questions is “have you thought of…”?  It can often spark a deep desire I never knew I had or wanted.  I especially love this question when it is not coming from someone else’s agenda/opinion rather something they are seeing or hearing from me that I am not even aware I have been putting out there!  It’s such a great question that opens possibilities versus ignitin...
