How Not to Live Your Life {Unless You Want to Be Successful AND Free}

Today, I’m writing to you from a cute little coffee shop in North Conway. The sky is bright and clear. The air is crisp and freshly fallen leaves blanket the sidewalks. The colors are unreal. Brilliant yellows. Blazing reds. Bright oranges. Being so far from home, tucked away before sweeping mountain views, I can’t help but revel in how grateful I am for my life. For where I am in this exact moment. It was only three years ago that I was a tiny spec on the map of America, puttering my way through the lush beauty of the state of Oregon on the road trip that would change my...

How to Activate Your Personal Power in 3 Steps

Uncategorized

During the transition from July to August of this year, something shifted within me. Similar to how a switch flips on and fills a room with light, a switch flipped on within me and activated a part of my personal power that was previously persisting in darkness. When I finally raised my coaching fees, in many ways, I stepped up my game, but none more powerful than in my coaching itself. It’s hard to describe the exact shift that occurred, but what I do know is that I became fearless. What I do know is that I started to trust my intuition and my uncanny ability to make connections. What...

How I Manifested My First $5K Month & It’s Not What the Gurus Are Telling You

Business, Manifestation

This is a momentous moment. I feel it so deeply. Right down to the marrow in my bones. Celebration, gratitude, awe, happiness, magic—all of it. I almost can’t believe it, but at the same time, I really can. After all, I worked for this. For 20 months before this moment, I worked for this. And I finally did it: I manifested my first $5K month! [$5K cash in the bank, not projected sales]. Wow. The iconic $5,000 month. The money goal that every new or struggling entrepreneur seems to strive for. The kind of money goal that makes financial freedom feel attainable. The kind of money goal that blesses you...

How to Use the Know Like Trust Factor to Succeed in Business

Business, Relationships

If you’re a business owner, I want you to think back to the first sale you ever made. I’m willing to bet that the sale was to a friend or family member, someone you built a solid relationship with, or someone who received a high recommendation for your services or product. What do all of these things have in common? Something called KLT or the Know Like Trust Factor. While I can’t claim this term as my own, I first discovered it when I dove into the world of marketing. It’s also something that comes so naturally to me, that I didn’t even realize how I masterful I was at...

The Art of Receptivity: How to Do Less to Manifest More Success

Manifestation, Business

“Life is a dance between making it happen & letting it happen.“-Arianna Huffington The sun is bright. The sky is pale blue and cloudless. I’m tapping away at my laptop outside of a local Starbucks, completely grounded and filled to the brim with awe. If I look at my life, everything I’ve been dreaming of is taking physical form. I’m practicing the art of receptivity. I’ve risen my dreams from the ground, like Queen Elsa and her magnificent castle of ice. I feel the power in my finger tips. And I’m leaning into this power more than I ever have before without driving myself into the ground; without working myself...

How to Stop Sabotaging Success

Business, Manifestation

Operating in the depths of your subconscious mind is a matrix of programming that rules you. This matrix rules the way you think, the way you feel, and the way you act. While it may seem like you’re in complete control of how you operate, this isn’t always the case. So, how does this matrix form and how do you work with it to stop sabotaging success? Fundamentally, humans are hardwired for survival. As you grow up and experience the world around you, you learn what thoughts, feelings, and actions WORK—what keeps you alive—and then, with repetition, what works gets programmed into the subconscious mind. Some life experiences foster a...

How to Manifest A Successful Business Easily and Effortlessly

Manifestation, Business, Travel

There was once a moment in time where I almost gave up on my business. I questioned if I was really meant to be a coach.Every time I was about to get on a call, I felt so much resistance.Everything about coaching felt hard. And not to mention, I didn’t have any paying clients. Every time I launched an offer, I was greeted with the sound no entrepreneur wants to hear: crickets. I needed a miracle if I was going to manifest a successful business. While I waited for my miracle to occur, I turned my attention to writing and creating products. I went to a retreat in Bali to...

3 Practices to Move Through an Ebb in Productivity

Business

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”-Lao Tzu Rhythms. Cycles. Seasons. Can we take a hint from nature about an ebb in productivity? Contrary to popular belief, we are not meant to be “ON” all the time in order to be successful and bank the fruits of our efforts. We’re meant to live rhythmically, like the beat of a heart.We’re meant to cycle, like the push and pull of ocean tides.We’re meant to experience seasons—like spring when seeds are sown, or winter, when a deep freeze is necessary. The belief that we need to be productive all the time in order to be successful is simply a deeply conditioned...

6 Ways to Overcome Overwhelm

Business

Let’s talk overwhelm. Overwhelm is a struggle that has popped up countless times in coaching sessions with clients. What I’m hearing is this: “I feel so overwhelmed. I’m unclear about where I’m going. I’m so confused and it’s too much. I know I need to take action in my business, but I don’t do it because I’m paralyzed.“ Overwhelm is a completely normal response to forging a new path and doing something you’ve never done before. When you feel the call to up level your life or business or to chase down big dreams and goals that you previously deemed impossible, overwhelm occurs… and it’s designed to completely stop you...
