The Mirror You Want {But Don’t Want} To Look In

We sit across from each other. You speak and I listen. I listen deeply—for what is said beneath your words. First, you tell me about your business. You tell me how frustrated you are. How people hardly ever buy from you. How no one can afford your fees. You tell me about your Clients. How they’re driving you MAD because they’re not committed to change. They say they want this thing that you can help them get, but they’re unwilling to put in the work to get it. Next, you tell me about your dreams. You paint a beautiful picture of possibility. It’s vivid and BIG. It’s all you want…...

Do You Experience Energetic Highs & Lows?

Reinvent

Do you give something your ALL, only to burn out? Feast or famine is typically something you think of when you think of money. It’s not so much something you think of when you think of energy.However, when feast or famine is the place you’re coming from, you tend to find it everywhere. It’s a cycle of extremes, where each extreme drives the other. It’s a cycle that can stretch over days, weeks, years—it doesn’t know time, it only knows high from low, up from down, everything from nothing and nothing in-between. It’s a cycle you can live in for life. And while you can create phenomenal things within its...

The Art of Feeling: When Presence & Sovereignty Collide

Reinvent

Something I’ve been practicing recently is holding and giving space to how I feel, without acting on or withdrawing from it. I’ve been practicing slowing down to experience the fullness of what’s available to me as a human and to give myself choice in how I respond, when I choose to. For most of my life, things have been different. For most of my life, my instinct has been: How do I express this feeling or make it go away? To be human is to feel. And what I find true for me and my people is that we struggle to BE WITH how we feel. We tend to act...

Where Are You Directing Your Willpower?

Reinvent

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. It’s 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 makes it difficult to see when you’re playing for the other team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures what you intend to create, it can be the bars that hold you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for you....

A Reminder For When You’ve Given All You’ve Got

Reinvent

You don’t have to carry the weight of worlds on your back. You don’t have to be a dumping ground for negativity. You don’t have to hold space for those who don’t hold it for you too. It is not your responsibility to provide peace to every person on the planet. You do not have to take this on when and where and with whom you don’t want to. Your energy is your gift to the world. Your presence and the way you share it is a gift. And without discernment, this beautiful gift can tarnish and turn the most precious thing to rust. {Advice for you, and mostly me}....

Are You Living Your Life on the Same Three Mile Loop?

Create, Reinvent

At the beginning of the year, I set an intention to run another half marathon in May. I created a plan and started to train, but by March, it became clear that my body was not up for the task. The training was too rigorous, too soon. And so, knowing better than to ignore my body’s protests, I hatched a new plan: I would master the three mile loop that stretched behind my house and once I could run that with ease, I would increase the mileage. Forwarding through the summer months, I followed my plan consistently—I’d set off early into the fresh morning, feet pounding the golden pavement as...

If You’re Feeling Stagnant…

Create, Reinvent

Where are you “waiting” in your life? What do you keep saying you want to do, but haven’t done yet? Over the past month, I’ve started to see all of the places where I’m waiting. I’m waiting to write until inspiration strikes. I’m waiting to hire my Coach at the 1:1 level. I’m waiting for my person to magically appear. I WAS waiting to ask for a raise at my part-time job, but I ended up doing that last week. {Yay!} The list goes on and on, from big things to little things and everything in-between. My mind wants me to believe that there will be a “right time”—that everything...

The Light & The Dark: What I’ve Learned About Speaking Your Truth

Reinvent

One of the greatest acts of self-love is speaking your truth. When you’re driving yourself mad from bottling up how you feel, when you’re flat out avoiding how you feel, when you’d rather ignore someone important than share how you really feel, your truth goes unexpressed. While speaking your truth may be the scariest, most uncomfortable, most difficult thing you could ever do, speaking your truth will set you free. All that energy you’re using to hide? It will release, redistribute, and realign to something better. I’ve learned this. Many times over the years and especially over the past month. The thing about me is that I’m very intuitive. It’s...

Overcoming the Experience of Feast or Famine

Create, Reinvent

Money has always been a struggle for me. It’s 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 live into feast and famine—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 is infinite. It travels around and around...

The Inner Work I’m Up For in June

Reinvent

It’s easy for me to be a fine mist. It’s much more difficult for me to be a steady stream. Thank you to my Coach for this analogy, because now I can’t get it out of my head. How honest are you? How willing are you to say and do what’s true for you? How willing are you to ask for what you want, even when there’s a possibility of hearing “no” or letting someone down? I’ve always thought of myself as an honest person, but like everything, there’s a chance to embody more of it. I AM honest, but not everywhere. Sometimes, I want to work with someone, but...
