Time to Pivot

With a surprise turn of events on a Sunday afternoon after I felt God working on my heart, I suddenly was asked to stand in for a friend and lead a Pilates class! Am I experienced enough or qualified to do that? Questionable. However, the inspiration to use our God-given Spiritual Gifts from Amy Pendergraft in her sermon that morning, coupled with hearing a recent inspirational acronym P.O.O.R. (P...

After chatting with a friend about a tough decision to be made, I realized it’s the decisions we avoid making that cause us the most stress.  In an effort to free ourselves from being in this indecision limbo, we have to bite the bullet, knowing there’s more peace on the other side.  This is when we must be brave and bold, decisive and focused, to get on the fast track to success!

You may think you need to keep doing “the work,” research, plan, get your ducks in a row, which is great in the beginning, but sometimes you need to be bold and brave and take action, even if it’s messy!  It’s so wild how we can think we have a plan, have prepped ahead, and suddenly we realize there was something completely different that was meant for us all along.  I experienced that f...

From the first days of summer to the final ones, we experienced lots of joys and some pretty significant losses. Every opportunity more apparent than the last that we get to choose how we’ll respond.  I was introduced to this poem a while back and it was interesting then, and more meaningful many months later when I discovered it again.  Hopefully, it encourages you to see things with a...

After a few heavy weeks of loss and new perspectives on life, we’re leaning all the way into embracing change with confidence this summer!  That started with a Mom’s Night Out at the legendary Gas Lite in Santa Monica, CA, singing some old school jams like Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s Shoop, and led to the confidence boost I needed to tackle other new opportunities I had been putting off for too long.&nbs...

Why am I so excited to talk about fear? Because we all experience it on some level; it’s normal. It’s a trigger that’s meant to keep us safe, but more often than not, it keeps us stuck or even paralyzed.  Again, why the excitement? Because we can absolutely learn to move through that fear and even use it to do great things, serve others, experience acceptance, surrender, joy, gratitude, peace...

Knowing that at any moment our time here could be cut short and actually experiencing that firsthand has brought us a new perspective of living with intention.  Recently our family and community has endured several losses of loved ones of all ages, and some days the grief feels overwhelming.

After recent success with a speaking program I completed, and receiving two awards for a talk I gave, panic started to set in when new opportunities flooded my inbox.  As much as I had hoped for this to happen, I didn’t expect my body to respond the way it did, to higher levels of anxiety than I’m used to. What started as shock and excitement when I woke up to multiple new inquiries about my...

Let’s talk about how we stay motivated during a pivot!  On this episode, I’m sharing the WHY? HOW? WHEN? phases we typically go through when we are in a time of transition.  We’re asking questions like: Is our why (family, service, financial freedom, etc.) big enough to keep us motivated to continue pursuing our goals? How can we use the 3 E’s to stay on track? When is it appropriate to...

What’s holding you back from success? Anxiety, the unknown, your confidence, the details of how to get it all done?  I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was fearing success itself.
