The #1 question in my DMs right now is, "how do you write a book?"  So, I created three super empowering things to help answer this question: 1. My instagr...

It takes absolutely no effort to WORRY, right?! We can easily slip into those thought patterns & plan for the worst case scenario-- i.e.: I'm gunna fail, I'll waste my time/money, I won't get any customers, etc. But, if we're always planning for the worst, we're robbing ourselves of JOY. So, that's why we've got to challenge ourselves to plan for the BEST-- t...

All aboard the tough love train, baby! Today's episode is a fiery pep talk style episode that's all about AVOIDING! Because let's be real: sometimes when it comes to our goals, applying for a new job, or even going to the doctor or dentist, we tend to avoid it because it's uncomfy or scary.

Today, we're chatting all about being SUPERRRRRR frustrated & stuck! When we're feeling THAT intense level of frustration and stuck-ness, we sometimes go into a fixed & scarcity mindset, which winds up making us dwell into that poor me/victim mindset place, as well as telling ourselves a whole host of other stories that do not serve us. Even though we're in the thick of feel...

But... does it HAVE TO be that way? Of course, it doesn't! Oftentimes, we use "not feeling ready" as an excuse, which unintentionally keeps us stuck.  The truth is ta...
