What a Lack of Motivation Really Means & What to Do About It

It’s been raining in Massachusetts for a month.Every day has been cloudy, cold, and bleak.Winter is clinging desperately, digging its heels into the fresh soil of spring. While it would be easy to blame my lack of motivation in my business on winter’s inability to surrender, I know deep down that my energetic rut isn’t about the weather—it’s the same old pattern coming back around again. You know, the pattern you think you’ve healed, only to have it show up on your doorstep wrapped in different paper. For the majority of my life, I’ve struggled with getting stuck in a lack of motivation and cycling through energetic highs and lows....

What Tulum Taught Me About Manifesting More Success

Travel

It took me three days to completely turn off. In one of the most beautiful paradises I’ve ever been to, it took me three whole days to leave the computer locked in the tent and to pack the personal development books back in my suitcase. Three whole days—lost to the illusion that one can be “on” while simultaneously turning “off.” What Tulum taught me, with all of its beauty and magic, was how to relax again. And I’m not talking about the kind where you kid yourself by having one foot in and one foot out—I’m talking full on relaxation. What Tulum taught me was the kind of relaxation where...

3 Powerful Insights From a Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive

Travel, Business

Before we left the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive to go back to our lives, and a world that didn’t expand like we did, Rich encouraged us to sit with our experiences and insights—to keep them to ourselves and let them shift how we show up in the world. He encouraged us to let people feel our expansion, rather than talk about it. While I have every intention of honoring his wisdom, I also know myself well enough to know that my expansion integrates more deeply from turning around and teaching. While I can’t possibly fit the magnitude of what I experienced at the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive into a single...

Intuition: The Best Tool to Manifest More Success

Manifestation, Business

I was speaking with a client last week about her discomfort with the need to prove herself. For much of her career, she’s felt the drive to continuously learn and gain more knowledge so that she can appear as a true expert. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing—I was curious about the motivation behind her drive to learn. What was it? As we dove deeper into the conversation, she told me a story about a fellow colleague who had avoided a serious and dangerous incident with one of his clients before it went sideways. I asked her how her colleague had caught the incident. Her answer was where the...

What is Your Anchor?

Uncategorized

Pursuing and living your calling is one of the highest forms of WAKING UP. When you’re anchored in the world by your calling, you feel a sense of fulfillment that is no match to what any relationship, any drug, or any amount of money from a soul-sucking job could provide. I know this because I’ve experienced it myself. There was a time in my life when I was anchored in the world not by my calling, but by the men I dated. They WERE MY WORLD and I let my life revolve around them. I let them be my purpose—to the point where I became obsessed. So obsessed that I...

I AM NOT YOUR SAVIOR

Uncategorized

When I first stepped off the traditional career path to do what I love, I had this skewed idea of what Coaching could really do. I knew Coaching was powerful, but I also thought that Coaching could guarantee results. I thought that Coaches possessed magical guidance that would poof me into the reality I dreamed about—that just because I invested money into a program, meant that I would receive the results the program promised. How could you blame me though, when I didn’t have a guide to warn me about inflated marketing? Or about multi-million dollar Coaches who were way out of integrity? I had no one. Not a friend....

Are You Trying to Be Like Everyone Else When it Comes to Doing What You Love?

Uncategorized

Maybe it feels safer that way. Maybe it makes more sense when you really think about it. Maybe it’s easier because then you don’t have to show people who you really are, or even deeper yet—you don’t have to admit who you really are to yourself. If there’s one thing I know about success, it’s that success only comes when you are 100% aligned. So if you aren’t experiencing the level of success you’d like to experience {or even some version of it, because yes, it does take time for success to unfold}, ask yourself: Where am I out of alignment? Am I doing what I’m doing in my life...

How to Manifest With the Moon

Manifestation

This year, I made a spiritual commitment to manifest with the moon. At her core, the moon represents feminine energy and the process of creation. Not only does she influence the ebb and flow of the tides, she influences the ebb and flow of our feelings and energy. She invites us to reflect and explore our inner world more deeply. When the moon is new in the sky, she is death—dark and hollow. I like to think of her as an empty container, waiting to be filled with light. The new moon asks us to plant seeds in the void. She asks us to set intentions and goals so that...

Victim vs. Creator: Who Are You Being?

Travel

Hit the rewind button to three years ago, when I was stuffed in a car for thirty hours on the way home from our last stop in Denver. It had been eight weeks since I’d lived a normal life and returning home felt like a cage. {Listen on SoundCloud >>here} I remember watching the tiny beads of rain cling to the windshield and feeling their pain as they were ripped away by the wind. Outside, miles of flat farmland swept by. Somewhere on the horizon of Missouri, with legs folded on the seat and journal pressed against my thighs, my hair stood on end and my heart sank into my...

5 Ways to Trust More & Worry Less in 2017

Uncategorized

As I look out onto the forest before me, a thin mist hangs in the air and lichen clings to the damp, dark trees—their tiny branches like veins pressed against the gray sky. Raw, cold, and wet, the weather today feels cleansing. Like it’s washing away any stale, lingering heaviness from the last week of 2016 and inviting in its place, a new year with new desires to manifest. Have you taken time to set new intentions & goals for 2017? Are you feeling overwhelmed, but also excited by the possibilities? Are you up for the challenge of expansion? With each new year comes the strong desire to be better,...
