No More 'Good Girl'

This is a breathwork workshop I did in my good friend, Andrea Crisp's group and it was so beautiful.  It's about opening yourself up to receiving more abundance in your life and stepping into who you need to become to create what you desire.  I'm a mentor for ambitious moms and I love supporting you on your journey in this space and through my breathwork and coaching practices!    You can find me...

I always used to wonder why people would stay in bad relationships, their circumstances, and in the same patterns in life that didn't serve them well.  Then I started learning about how the brain works and it all came full circle for me.  The thing is, your brain is wired for survival. It's job is to keep you alive and that's about it. Your brain also thinks that familiar = safe which is why most...

This one is a little spicy today, but you hear so many coaches telling you to ask your people what they want.  And if they're like most, they may know some results they want to create, but you are the leader in your field and you know how results will best be achieved for YOUR community.  So you get to choose what feels right + aligned for you and believe that it will land well within the people w...

When we take inspired action, we get the results we desire.   But when we don't allow ourselves to lean into the guidance, downloads, or ideas that come to us, we block ourselves from doing what feels aligned.  Taking inspired action is to trust yourself and believe in what you are doing + who you are.  I'm a mentor for ambitious moms and I love supporting you on your journey in this space and thr...

Hello! On Braving the Mountain this week we are talking about having hard conversations with your partner. Communication is key to a healthy relationship so let's dive in a little deeper into what that can look like! At the beginning of my marriage things were rough. There's a lot to adjust to and learn when you're first figuring out life together. Keep in mind that change is good and necessary! T...

I think a lot of times we as moms wear our 'busy' like a badge of honor and it's time to let that shiz go!  Society teaches us that mom life needs to be a struggle and that leaves those of us who have a dream for our lives tucking it up on a shelf and saving it for another day...  When the kids are in school  When we have more time, money, or resources And all that does is keeps you in a state of...

What got you here won't get you there... this is the same whether you apply it to life or business.  The thing is, a lot of us are afraid to change, but what happens on the other side of that change is so much growth.  Sometimes we worry about how much work it's going to take to get us to the other side of the change we are looking to make so we don't start.  But if you never start, where will you...

Hey everyone! I wanted to talk about how I found out that breathwork will far outweigh the benefits of mindset work. I have a lot of experience with mindset work and breathwork is something that is relatively new to me but it has changed my life and I want to share it with you!   So many times in my life I have gone through a super rough patch, wanted to make changes, and didn't see results how I...

Perhaps it's time to stop comparing yourself to others because it's just about where your priorities are at.  Some people prioritize their looks and being fit while others prioritize their business and success on their terms. But we all get hung up in the comparison game from time to time and I just wanted to offer you this shift in perspective.  For me, I don't prioritize having 6-pack abs, but I...

Now if you know me, you know that I'm a tough love type of coach. I lived in my excuses too long to let you!  I used to be really good at playing victim to my circumstances which kept me so stuck in life and business.  I don't want this for you and if you're here I know that you don't want it either. So on today's pep talk I'm giving you a little chat on getting out of victimhood and stepping into...

Hey hey everyone! On Braving the Mountain this week I wanted to talk about wanting vs deciding to feel better. The line between wanting to feel better and deciding to feel better can get a little fuzzy sometimes and when we think we are changing because we WANT to feel better, we aren't really getting anywhere. You really have to DECIDE to feel better and the difference is taking action. There doe...

Today I'm teaching you how you can shift the energy within yourself so that you believe in yourself more.  Because when you have that belief in yourself, you take the necessary action that helps you reach your goals even faster.  I'm giving you the tool of breathwork in this episode and teaching you how you can use it to step into showing up how you need so that you close the gap between where you...

If you want to get what you want out of life and in business, you've gotta believe in yourself.  Even if you don't have a wholehearted, 100% belief that you can accomplish everything you desire... you can still hang onto the belief that if she can do it so can I mentality and take steps to move you in the direction that you desire.  A part of holding the belief in yourself is taking aligned action...

Hey there! This week on Braving the Mountain I wanted to talk about casting the vision for your life and how you want your days to feel. There's so many ways to go about doing this and once you find what works for you, you'll find that it's a lot more achievable than you think. What I've found that works for me is breathwork. Breathwork allows me to really visualize that life I want in a calm and...

Breathwork has helped me so much in my life and business and one thing that it has helped me with even more than I thought it would is in mom life.  It has helped me expand my capacity to hold more space for my kids without losing my shiz and it has also helped me to show up as the mom I want to be everyday.  I had no idea what it could do for me when I jumped into the program to become certified....

Hello hello! For this week's episode of Braving the Mountain I chose the topic before you should on yourself, decide who you want to be.  There's so much social media influencing going on these days and with that comes comparing yourself to other moms or just other people thinking you SHOULD be doing what they're doing. But when it really comes down to it, are they doing what you WANT to be doing?...
