This week I ponder the influence our surroundings have on us. I’ve been noticing this in my life and those around me, how we unconsciously assimilate into the environment and culture we find ourselves in.

Who can relate?! However, in recen...

I’m diving deep into the concept of free agency and how it has transformed my approach to work and life.

I want to talk to you about building a tolerance for the tension you receive from the disappointed client. Today’s episode of my podcast is all about what happens when LIFE happens… Previously, and I know this happens a lot in the salon world…I felt I had to make up for taking a vacation, by working extra days before and after. But wait…does your dentist do that? Does your doctor's office do that?...

If I had to give my life a theme, I think it would be Little By Little. So often we only see someone’s before and after. Or where someone currently is in their business or life. And we don’t really know or we forget all the steps, the tiny scary steps it took to get there. This week’s episode I go into how almost every step I've made in my business and life have been kinda scary. But I’ve taken sm...

Today’s episode of She Makes Waves I’m talking about why I choose to be present with my clients as opposed to constantly creating content.  For me, the connections and the services I provide to clients is more important than the content I produce.  I’ll admit, I don’t know how to show up fully and do both without cheapening the experience.  Now I actually do enjoy making videos and...

And I realized I don't want this to be misinterpreted as I don’t have to work or I don’t have to have money… In this week’s episode of She Makes Wave, I dive deeper into this. What we mean is, money’s not enough of a reason to stay in something and we...

One of the biggest things I want for my daughter is for her to be who she is, wherever she is.  Being myself is something I struggled with for a long time. I was always a chameleon, morphing into what I thought people wanted me to be.  Have you ever noticed someone that you’ve been able to get to know, one on one, seems like a different person when they are within a group of others. Like...

Every morning when I wake up, I think about what I want to call into my life that day. Almost every day, I as for support and guidance and to allow the people that want to help me, to surround me.   Yet, so often, when it does show up for me, I deny it.    Today’s episode of She Makes Waves, I recall a day that I turned down help twice…and when I finally accepted the help, it hit me...

I’ve learned that there are 3 major stops on the difficult times struggle bus: 1. Diminish the pain 2. Distract ourselves 3. Let it develop us We tend to just dive deeper into delusions + distractions or… we wake up.  Unless we let the pain teach us, we will continue to live the same story. We can’t outrun the pain so why not let it be your teacher? Today’s episode I talk about my life’s jour...

I thought it would be helpful to talk about something I brought up at an International Women’s Day event that I attended with 4 women who I admire SO much. Asked a question, How do you know how to trust what it is you authentically bring and to let go of what isn’t, to fully step into the unknown but the inner knowing of what you’re called to do. Especially when you are comfortable.  It was s...

This episode spun from a moment I had with my family, thinking I could lump life categories together. Let me explain… I had planned to go for a run by myself and it turned into family walk time…I thought to myself, ‘great, this can fill 2 of my needs’’…but I actually found myself needing to go for a run on the treadmill by myself after the walk with the family when I got home. Now this wasn’t some...

Are you showing your clients who you are and meeting them with whatever is, or are you putting on a show? I was that person…someone who had an act. This week’s episode was inspired by Jay Shetty when I heard him speak about losing his initial passion and zest for the Facebook videos he used to post. He said after a while, it became a performance and stoped serving him. So he let that go. I can rel...

Even though I had a sense of comfort when I kept my head down, what I was really doing was front loading my own discomfort, for others.  I had a life of a slow drip discomfort and never really knew how bad I felt.  Today’s episode, I go on to discuss how I flipped that around. I chose to do the hardest things, the most uncomfortable things, the scariest things…for myself.  I risked...
