It all started about four years ago with the offer of more drugs…from my doctor. Thankfully it was followed by “I know that’s probably not what you want but it’s an option.”

When you do things differently people either love it or think you are crazy (or a little of both).

I was recently looking back at my notes on Find Your Why and while this was looked at in the view of business, it’s also applicable to other areas of your life with massive changes.

Simply close those pretty little peepers of yours, take several deep, intentional breaths, and release the BS that is causing your thoughts to be jumbled. The big stuff comes back but you can deal with it better now that you have a clearer mind. Aim for 2-5 minutes when you start. This allows you to get used to sitting silently and without your phone.

So many times this is because we’re hiding our lack of control in another area and we are desperately trying to throw the “not good enough” scent off of us. And, we might not even know what is really going on. We are just surviving.

Holidays + travel = well, this part depends on your planning! Read these tips for how to plan for holidays and travel so that you get to enjoy your time.

In the pursuit of personal growth, gratitude is one of the most transformative tools you can use. In this blog I explore why incorporating a gratitude practice into your journey is a critical step toward achieving your goals. If you are seeking a mindset or life coach to navigate life's complexities and unlock your full potential, I’m here to help!

I think people should learn to trust their instincts, learn to think for themselves, and be able to manage without me.

With coaching, you are going to have a period of growth where you're like oh sh!t, I'm in some stuff I don't really know how to figure out. That’s when you find a coach that you are in alignment with and have them help you figure the sh!t out.

Pairing poor wifi and cell service with an amazing view of the falls, I was able to loosen my grip on the to-do list for a few days. It created the capacity for creativity. Some details of the experience are accurate and some are fabricated, but we were all scared we would crash at any moment.

Creativity isn’t just traditional art.

It’s gardening, making a beautiful lattice crust pie (save me a slice!), and according to the Oxford dictionary, it’s using your imagination.

So, what ideas do you think during the day? If they are about making and producing things…you are already on a creative track!

All. The. Sales!

How does one decide?

How does one afford to take everyone up on every opportunity they want to grab?

They likely can’t so they either delete them all thinking things are terrible because they can’t afford all the cool things. Or buy them all and go into more and more debt resulting in feeling bad about their finances.

The topic of boundaries has come up quite a bit in my personal life lately. It's always a hot topic in my professional life so that doesn’t even make a blip on the radar of life when I have those conversations. The other day I had someone say to me “You are so good at setting boundaries and keeping them.” It made me start thinking about how I got to this point.

I’m so glad I started listening to what my body (some also call this intuition) was telling me. While the other values I listed earlier are important, they are not the ones that are the most important to me. The ones that make me feel happy, safe, and excited to be in a situation are…

I was taught to be a pleaser. I used to force myself to go out. I did things I didn’t want to do to make others happy with me. Most of the time I didn’t care anything about the event I went to so I had to fake smile all effing night. This led to major burnout…

There are three reasons for the failure of group brainstorming: Social loafing, production blocking, and evaluation apprehension. Here are 3 ways to impact your success.

Clear out your mental junk drawer.

Oh boy, where do I even begin? The struggle is definitely real when it comes to expectations placed upon us... especially in my experience as a woman.

The purpose of a Fierce Support Squad is not to provide a sanctuary for those wallowing in pity. It is not to hear that there is nothing they can do.

It is to provide a sacred space for those prepared to shift their mindset, smash through self-imposed barriers, and achieve things that make them feel great. 

Together, we cultivate a culture of accountability that sets our souls on fire. I want you to refuse to settle for less than your potential.

You might be wondering if this feeling will ever end.

Will the spin cycle ever stop?

If you’ve ever struggled with mental health, even a little, you know that it can feel oppressive and hopeless. I’ve had a day, a week or so, and months of struggle over the years.

Practicality, determination, loyalty, appreciation of beauty, and sensitivity are qualities that can help anyone stay focused on their goals and more. By embracing these qualities, we can live like a Taurus and thrive in various aspects of our lives.

Gen X grew up during rapid technological change and with working moms who ran the house, took care of the kids, and either worked a part-time job down the street so they could pick up kids from school or started their own companies. They were exhausted and thought life couldn’t get any better.

Generation X is the demographic force of nature born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s. My generation experienced such a shift in cultural, economic, and technological changes. These shaped (or warped) our personalities, work ethics, and values. 

If you know someone from this generation, they likely have some traits in common that make me…I mean us… seem like mythical creatures that can do anything they set their mind to - especially the Gen X women.
