If You’re Feeling Stagnant…

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 Power in Declaring it Quits

Create

Not long ago, you were on top of the world when you declared: THIS! This is it! This is what I want to create next! With excitement fizzing through your veins, you generated a plan. You set goals and deadlines. You determined the actions you needed to take. You even took on some of those actions, riding the high that flows with forward momentum. And then—not ill-meaning on your part—you put the project down because other things required your attention too. And as you focused on those other things {rightfully so}, this beautiful, thrilling idea began to collect dust in the dark corner of your to-do list. The space between...

What If Your Short-Comings Were a Gift?

Reinvent

How often have you beaten yourself up for your perceived short-comings? Short-comings meaning: Things about you that do not fit with the image of who you should be or who you think you need to be in order to succeed. Think about your short-comings right now. And ask yourself: What do these things tell me about myself + what I’m really gifted at? On the other side of a perceived short-coming, there’s always a parallel and equal strength. But only if you choose to see it. Sometimes out of curiosity, I’ll open a LinkedIn email that lists job openings suited to my skills. I’ll peruse what the companies want in...

The Stuff That Will Turn Your Dreams to Reality

Create

The week before the new year is like a sacred sigh. It’s the culmination of celebration for what transpired and the {sometimes uncomfortable} realization of what didn’t. It’s a time to reflect on what you’re taking with you and what you’d like to let go of. It’s a time to envision what’s next. The week unfolds slow and fast, all at the same time. Possibility is palpable. You hold your breath, waiting for the first light of January when you can hit the ground running. The list of what you want to create is a mile long and there’s no time to waste before getting started. If you’re like me,...

When Did You Stop Growing?

Create, Reinvent

If you only let in what “feels good,” are you shortchanging your growth? I used to be defensive as hell. I hated feedback. I hated reflections. {Even when people had permission to give them}. They made me cringe. They made me cry. I made them mean that I was “doing something wrong.” AKA: a major trigger for me. To protect myself, I was like water on canvas—I never let them sink in. In fact, I went to war. I was “RIGHT.” They were “WRONG.” And as a result, I defended exactly where I didn’t want to stay. That’s the thing with creating what feels impossible—the way you’re used to being...

Three Powerful Shifts From Rich Litvin’s Coaching Intensive

Explore, Reinvent

Before we left the 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 our 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 into a single blog post, I can share the most powerful...

The Best Tool You Already Have to Manifest More Success

Reinvent

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 could 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 issue, she told me a story about a fellow colleague who had caught a potentially serious incident with one of his Clients before it could get worse. At this point, we were getting somewhere. Next, I asked her how her colleague caught...

How to Manifest With the Moon

Create

There is a soft, yet powerful energy that can be harnessed from the natural cycles of the Earth. After all, these cycles are not only found in the external world, but they also live within each of us. Birth. Death. Sleep. Awake. Ebb. Flow. Life. Growth. Creation. Expansion. Destruction. Completion. We are simply mirrors that reflect a much larger design. So why do we sometimes resist this? If we reflect the natural rhythms of the Earth, why do we fight them? What if, in fact, we could create more with less if we simply surrendered to these cycles and amplified their energy? What if instead of resisting them, we lived...

What’s Your Word for 2017?

Create, Reinvent

My word for 2016 was CONNECTION. In choosing this word, I set the divine intention to connect deeper to my Truth, to my intuition, and to my Tribe. Looking back on the year that has passed, I’m in shock as to how deeply this intention has manifested. Officially in 2016, I’ve owned my Truth as a powerful Coach & Manifestor. I’ve allowed myself to operate from the intuitive guidance I am given, no matter how scary or counter-intuitive it feels. And I’ve built an extremely engaged social media Tribe + a rock solid local community, where the relationships run deep and the energy is truly focused on positive support and...

{Stop Worrying} 4 Signs Success is On The Way

Reinvent

Too often, we drive ourselves mad with anxiety, we fall into the thick of despair, or we decide to quit BEFORE THE MAGIC EVEN HAPPENS. When you have a vision and a mission to manifest and you’re putting in the work to bring it to life, it can be disheartening when the results you desire don’t happen. This is especially true if you’re a high achiever like me. When you don’t feel like you’re making the impact or getting the opportunities or making the sales you thought you would, your Ego has an easy invitation to start spinning your wheels—”see, I told you this wouldn’t work. I told you you...
