A New Way of Doing Business is Calling 🐚

It’s hard to believe it’s been six weeks since I actively marketed my business. No networking. No emails. No social media. I’ve been in a quiet season of contemplation. And it’s felt so good to sink into my life. To unplug from the noise and let my channel run clear. To focus wholeheartedly on pulling potent medicine from, and for, my clients. I finally feel ready to return. But not from the same place—from somewhere new and old; from somewhere remembered. When I traveled to Massachusetts to visit my family and meet my baby nephew in April, I didn’t plan on pressing pause in my business, but that’s what wanted...

Contrary to popular belief, waiting for an invitation is not a passive process. Here are the 4 types of projector invitations and how to leverage them in your business: 1.) THE EXPLICIT PROJECTOR INVITATION This is the kind of invitation that most projectors think they need to wait for in order to book new clients and customers. An explicit projector invitation is...

A New Chapter Begins 📖

Travel, Human Design

I’ve been IN IT lately. Have you? On June 1st, Ryan, Creature, and I packed up our Sayulita apartment and drove clear across the country to start a new chapter in San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its art, rich history, and charming colonial beauty. We chose to spend the summer in San Miguel because the cool, dry weather is a stark contrast to Sayulita’s intense heat and humidity. Little did I consider how tough this new chapter was going to be. Sayulita is my soul home. It’s one of the few places in the world that feels like an expression of who I know myself to...

Having it All: The Unconventional Truth

Manifestation, Travel

What does it mean to “have it all?” In my world, I believe having it all has less to do with accomplishing more and everything to do with how fully we’re showing up as our true selves. Having it all is not a juggling act. It’s not committing to everything and everyone under the sun and then trying to figure out the most efficient and productive way to balance it all out. [Most of the time, having it all is about taking things OFF your plate]. In my world, in order to show up as our true selves, we must get crystal clear on what we value and what’s most...

1 Minute Mindset Reset to Stress Less & Trust More in Your Business

Business

When you’re presented with a challenge as a business owner, the hardest part is not knowing what’s going to happen or how it’s all going to work out.

When this happens, your mind goes into overdrive. —am I going to be okay?—is that sale going to come through?—will I have to go back to my dreadful, soul-sucking job? With all of this mind chatter, how is it possible to stress less and trust more in your business? Here’s the thing: Over the past nine years that I’ve been a business owner, I’ve found that the dots always connect....

The Call Back Home: A Return to What We’ve Lost

Travel

Feet sinking into sand. Sticky air. Heat kissing my face and arms. The sound of waves galloping to shore. Foamy fingers; bubbles popping.The call back home. Birds whistling. Palms rustling. Driftwood everywhere. The sharp scent of smoke. Salt and ash on my tongue. And the foul bowels of low tide. I am here, in my body, tasting every sense, one at a time. My phone is untouched in my backpack. There is no podcast playing. There is no book in my hands. It is just me and the ocean, her heartbeat thumping rhythmically with mine. As a collective, we are losing the experience of presence. The devices in our hands...

What a Bad Surfer Taught Me About Hitting Home Runs

Travel, Business

I learned something new this week: Ryan is pretty bad at surfing. Most days around 5pm, we close our computers and head down to the beach. While Ryan typically surfs in the gray dawn of morning, on Tuesday, he decided to bring his board. Knowing how fond he is of the sport, I was excited to witness him catch a wave. I mean, he’s surfed in Portugal, Australia, and Peru; he had a business training professional athletes; and he was a YES to Sayulita for surfing! He must be good, right?! After picking out an empty spot on the sand, I unfolded my chair, sat down, and scanned the horizon for...

Going On a Trip? Bring Conscious Relating to Travel with These 7 Questions

Relationships, Travel

✈️ Before embarking on each new adventure, my partner and I have a conscious conversation designed to deepen our experience of a trip. Conscious relating is something we’ve been practicing since we met. When we first came together as virtual strangers to live as roommates in Mexico, there were a lot of unknowns. What if our personalities and lifestyles were vastly different? What if our daily routines clashed? What if we got on each other’s nerves and there was conflict? The typical response for me—and, I would assert for many others—is to brush these questions under the rug, let the trip unfold, and then deal [or not deal] with whatever comes up. ...

Love in the Time of Corona: A COVID Love Story

Relationships, Manifestation, Travel

What happens when two virtual strangers move down to Mexico together during a worldwide pandemic? This is mine and Ryan’s COVID love story. ♡ “I’m sorry, but I don’t choose you as my person.” Ryan’s face fell from across the table. It was Saturday night—the night before we were separating while his family came to visit. After dating for a few weeks, Ryan was curious to know where my feelings were. From the start, he had been like a laser. He knew what he wanted. He knew I was who he wanted. I’ll never forget when he asked me out on our first date. He said, “you are everything I...

Do You Have a Marketing Problem or an Avoidance Problem?

Business

If you’re a brand new or new-ish service-based business owner and you think you have a marketing problem, you most likely have an avoidance problem.
