What Are You Committed To?

Here’s what I’m committed to right now: Waking up by 7:30am.Meditating.Journaling on possibility. Starting work by 9:30am.Writing.Sharing my writing.Inviting all kinds of people to connect.Inviting people who inspire me into coaching conversations.Inviting people I vibe with to work with me.Astonishing my Clients. Doing my own inner work. Going to the gym. Tracking money.Paying for things in cash. Reading.Going to bed by 11pm. Notice: Everything on this list—it’s inside of my control. Too often, we attach our sense of accomplishment to results we have no control over. Then, when the results do not occur, we feel we failed and hopelessness replaces happiness, worthlessness shatters confidence, and fun fades to frustration. We...

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. Here’s why… For you, mastering marketing is alluring. The world of marketing makes you believe that if your marketing was on point, THEN you would have the epic, thriving business you dream of. You know—the one you imagined when you first signed up for entrepreneurship. Seriously though: ❌ If only you could pinpoint your ideal client with the right words, in the right way, she will flock to you!❌ If only you had a solid brand that stands out and shines, she will blow up your inbox!❌...

The Best Two Investments to Fill Your Coaching Practice

Uncategorized

Last month, I accomplished something BIG. And I didn’t share it. I intended to. Especially when it happened; when I was bursting at the seams with excitement. But then, like it tends to, the thrill of accomplishment faded and I had nothing left to fuel my words. I was also scared to share a win that might make you feel uncomfortable. But now, I want to share it {PROUDLY} because if I can do it, so can you. Last month, I officially filled my coaching practice! I booked an additional $22K in services in three weeks {a record for me} and I’ve had to start a waiting list! I’ve been...

What If You Made a Mess?

Uncategorized

It’s been 40 minutes since our call started.And I still don’t see an opening to support you. I know what you want to create.You’re clear on that. You know how to get there.You’re confident in the path. Most Coaches would leave it here and declare you complete.Most Coaches would say, “Great! You know what you want, you know how to get there, now go off and get it done!” I’m not like most Coaches. Instead, I reflect what’s going on within me: “It sounds like you’ve got this. We’ve been talking for 40 minutes and I still don’t see how I can support you. I’m wondering why you raised your...

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

Uncategorized

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…...

Let’s Talk About Selling

Uncategorized

Selling products. Selling services. Selling skills. To preface this post, I want to say: Everyone I choose to work with is a good-hearted person.And if you’re reading this, I’m willing to bet that YOU are a good-hearted person, too. What I find, time and time again—for myself, for my Clients, for us good-hearted people—is that we think we have a sales problem when in reality, we have a BELIEVING problem. All selling is, is a vehicle for transformation.All selling is, is a vehicle for service. Whatever it is you sell, there is a purpose behind it that boils down to: I made this thing to support my fellow humans to...

Do You Believe in Magic?

Uncategorized

When I was a little girl, I believed in magic. I believed in it so much, I thought I was a witch. I made potions from berries that grew wild in the woods. I cast love spells out of poems and flowers. I even made myself a silver wand and told my friends at school that they were witches too. As I grew up and my fairy tale faded, I stopped believing I was a witch, but I never stopped believing in magic. In fact, magic has only become MORE REAL over time. In 2011, I was shocked to learn that a week before graduating, I was the Valedictorian of...

The Gift of Possibility

Uncategorized

When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream? Like, really dream—not, this-is-what-I-can-see-as-happening dreaming. I’m talking about the kind of dreaming that’s free from any form of resistance. The kind of dreaming that goes beyond what the mind can predict. The kind of dreaming that brings you face to face with a vision you didn’t know existed. When was the last time you played a game with possibility? A game where you call out your deepest desires; where the only rules are: What would you create with your life if you knew you could not fail and you had no fear? When I play this game with my people...

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

Business

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...

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

Uncategorized

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...
