Struggling in Your Business is Not Making You a Better Person

Last summer, I met Stephanie Koehler in San Miguel for one of her quantum energy sessions. She was going to help me break through to the next income level in my business. At one point, we made a list of twenty-something beliefs that might be holding me back. She explained that she would read each one aloud and use her modality to energetically clear them. All I had to do was signal when I felt a shift, and she’d move onto the next. Well, one by one, she went through the list… And I had little to no reaction.They all felt… neutral. It was almost as if I had already...

The Soul of Your Business Lives Here 🕯️

Business

There’s a question that’s been echoing in my soul ever since my Spanish teacher asked it last week: “¿A que te dedicas?” Where Americans ask: “What do you do?”Mexicans ask: “What are you dedicated to?” This kind of question doesn’t call you outward, it calls you inward—toward the foundation that your life and work are built upon; toward the rituals that shape your frequency. As a business owner who refuses to build success by burning out or betraying what’s true for you, your foundation and frequency aren’t optional—they’re essential. If we explored a new context for leadership in Rooted Visibility, this month we’re identifying the rituals that allow you to actually embody it. One of...

Meet the Most Potent Version of You ⚡️

Business

It’s important for you to know this: Being more you in your business doesn’t mean that taking action will always feel easy or effortless. Sometimes, it will feel hard. Sometimes, it will require courage. The truth is—the actions that feel most authentic and alive will often come with resistance. They are the actions sitting just outside your comfort zone. They are the actions that will stretch and expand you. They will ask you to let more of you out. This past week alone, I found myself stepping beyond my comfort zone more than once. Kicking off the SUSTAINABILITY SESSIONS was one. [Thank you so much to everyone who came—you made it pure magic ✨] The other? Starting...

Stillness is the New Strategy 🌿

Business

I caught myself slipping into old ways this week. After listening to a Saturn in Aries masterclass, I felt inspired to overhaul my freebie and its email sequence. Soon enough, inspiration turned to urgency. And before I knew it, I was lost in my head [and ChatGPT], obsessing over every detail. 💭 What should I rename it?💭 What kind of messaging will resonate most deeply with my ideal client?💭 What kind of funnel will align with Aries energy? I went from expanded and excited to overwhelmed and overstimulated. The more I tried to “get it right,” the more I disconnected from what felt true and alive. This is how the...

A New Way of Doing Business is Calling 🐚

Business

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...

What Does it Mean to Respond as a Generator or Manifesting Generator?

Human Design, Business

“Go out and create what you want,” they say. “Just do it,” they say. “Make it happen,” they say. While this is great advice, it’s not the whole story for 92% of the population. For the majority of us, life, and what we create with it, will feel so much more aligned and purposeful when we honor our human design strategy first. To respond as a generator or manifesting generator means that you are here to surrender to life. Your human design strategy is to let life come to you, and when opportunities show up in your world, you will have a response to them. This response is felt in your...

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...

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...

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. ...

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...
