Is Willpower Helping You Create More of What You Don’t Want?

When you want something, you want it.You’re persistent and determined. You’re in it for the long haul.You don’t give up or quit easily. Willpower is a blessing, right? It can be—when you’re using it as fuel to create more of what you want. Willpower is tricky because it keeps you in the game, but it can be difficult to see when you’re playing for the wrong team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures up what you intend to create, it can also be a spell that holds you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for...

The Profit First Method: Overcoming Feast or Famine in Your Business

Uncategorized

Money has always been a struggle for me.It’s likely something I’ll be mastering for the rest of my life. While I’ve increased my capacity to earn over the years [from my own hands, tears, and heart], hanging onto it has been a different beast entirely. It’s easy for me to experience feast or famine in my business—to create large sums, reinvest them, and deplete to the point of pain before replenishing again. In November, I had a powerful insight followed by an even more powerful question: 💭 How can I relate to money as a circle instead of a pendulum? A circle has no edges. It’s infinite. It travels around...

The #1 Mindset Hack for Making Your Dreams a REALITY

Business, Manifestation, Travel

Identifying what you want in life and business is easy.Making your dreams a REALITY is an entirely different story. How do you reconcile the two? There was a particular day four years ago—October 1st, 2013 to be exact—when the U.S. government was forced to shut down, and all of the national parks were closed until further notice. While this typically wouldn’t be an issue, that day, it was. It just happened to be the day my best friend and I were leaving to go on our eight week road trip across the U.S. Our intention was to visit all of the national parks 🙈 From the moment we decided to...

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

Uncategorized

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....

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...

Stop Worrying: 4 Signs Success is On the Way

Uncategorized

Are there signs success is on the way in your life and business? Too often, we drive ourselves mad with anxiety, fall into the thick of despair, or decide to quit before the magic happens. When you have a vision and a mission to manifest, and you’re putting in the work to make it happen, it can feel disheartening when the results don’t show up. This is especially true if you’re a high achiever like me. When you’re not making the impact you’re here to make or closing the sales you thought you would, your mind starts spinning—”see, I told you this wouldn’t work. I told you that you weren’t...

4 Subconscious Hacks to Manifest More Success

Manifestation, Business

Contrary to popular belief, manifesting is not an entirely spiritual process. One of the things that sets my approach to manifesting apart is that I’m both spiritual, as well as practical. Do I believe in the Universe and its energy? Yes.Do I believe that manifestation solely occurs because of the Universe and its energy? No. As a student of Psychology, I’ve always been curious about how the mind works and believe me when I say this, the mind plays a major role in what we manifest. Mike Dooley said it best when he coined “thoughts become things.“ When you have a clear thought about something you want to create in...

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...
