How to Make a Good Business Investment: 4 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

“In one year, I will help you add $100K or more to your bottom line.” This was a lofty promise to make to 25 year-old me, who was just beginning her business, but Bill’s voice was like music to my ears and every one of my pain points. I decided right then and there that his program was a good business investment. By the time I was attending Bill’s business conference in late March 2015, I had already wracked up a good deal of credit card debt in order to make my business “look” and feel legitimate. Bringing in $100K over the next year would solve that problem and then...

Helping a Human Design Projector Experience Career Success

Human Design

Have you ever wondered what’s possible when you receive coaching based on your human design chart? Lean in because I’m about to share my client journey with Dareen, a 4/6 splenic human design projector. When Dareen and I decided to work together earlier this year, she was in a job that was dragging her down. One of her major goals was to leave her current company and land a new role that was more aligned with her values. Here’s how our journey went: 💟 DAREEN IS A HUMAN DESIGN PROJECTOR From the start, it became clear that Dareen was not feeling seen or recognized in her current position. With a...

Unlock the Flow of Abundance With Human Design Strategy and Authority

Human Design, Travel

Last week, Ryan and I decided to go for an afternoon stroll around San Miguel de Allende. As we rounded a bend near the center, we came face to face with a fountain. I stopped in my tracks when I noticed this fountain because while the basin was overflowing with water, the stream was slightly missing its mark. Standing there, observing this happen, I realized how reflective it is of life. What if Life is consistently funneling blessings and opportunities towards us? But… if we’re not positioned to receive them, they simply miss their mark? If only we moved our hands a little to the right, we could catch the...

A New Chapter Begins 📖

Travel, Human Design

I’ve been IN IT lately. Have you? On June 1st, Ryan, Creature, and I packed up our Sayulita apartment and drove clear across the country to start a new chapter in San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its art, rich history, and charming colonial beauty. We chose to spend the summer in San Miguel because the cool, dry weather is a stark contrast to Sayulita’s intense heat and humidity. Little did I consider how tough this new chapter was going to be. Sayulita is my soul home. It’s one of the few places in the world that feels like an expression of who I know myself to...

My Business Fails in 2023 & What’s Working in 2024

Business, Human Design

For many business owners, it’s been a tough year. If you’ve experienced business fails from the shifting economy or the changing landscape within your industry, you are not alone. After receiving clear intuitive guidance that it was time to pivot the foundations of my business model in 2023, I created four different paid offers throughout the year. Of these four offers, two failed completely. Of the other two, one was a smashing success, resulting in five lives changed, one participant becoming a private coaching client, and me having a blast while stepping into the role of teacher. Despite these business fails, what has kept me grounded and attracting opportunities in...

A Gift in the Dark: Lessons on Self-Love & Personal Power

Relationships, Human Design

“What if you’re powerful, even when you’re not creating or expressing? What if your power is never ‘off’—there are simply times when it isn’t visible to the world?”* As I let these questions sink in, my entire body exhaled—a breath I didn’t know I was holding.These are the kind of questions that make your shoulders drop and your thoughts stop. The kind that shake up your world to the point where it will never be the same again. In the span of seconds, I was anchored in and buoyed by a new truth. The puzzle pieces of self-understanding rearranged and clicked into place. And I felt free. Throughout my journey...

Having it All: The Unconventional Truth

Travel

What does it mean to “have it all?” In my world, I believe having it all has less to do with accomplishing more and everything to do with how fully we’re showing up as our true selves. Having it all is not a juggling act. It’s not committing to everything and everyone under the sun and then trying to figure out the most efficient and productive way to balance it all out. [Most of the time, having it all is about taking things OFF your plate]. In my world, in order to show up as our true selves, we must get crystal clear on what we value and what’s most...

4 Trauma-Informed Shifts I’m Making to The Way I Coach

Business

As I sit with the accomplishment of receiving my Trauma-Informed Practitioner Certification, I notice tears welling behind my eyes and full-body tingles radiating from my core to my limbs. I feel proud. And eager to weave the medicine of somatics and nervous system regulation into my practice. Throughout my three month long training, I realized that a number of the ways I’ve been taught to coach are directly at odds with trauma-informed care. It was tough to reconcile, but on the other side, I’ve unlearned and let go of so much. The old ways are composting into something new—new ways that will seed growth and transformation with exponentially more love...
