Being a business owner is lonely

Here’s a truth I don’t think we talk about enough: Leadership is lonely.Being a business owner is lonely. You can try to talk to your partner about the emotional weight you feel from being a service-provider in a world that is so heavy right now, but they just don’t get it. You can try to talk to your friends about what’s going on in your business, but they don’t get it either. You can try to talk to your team, but you’re here to lead them first, not be their friend. Who are you relying on to feel supported and resourced?Who is holding you, while you hold everyone else? Who...

The Soul of Your Business Lives Here 🕯️

Business
The soul of your business lives here

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...

Working with a human design projector on career success

Have you ever wondered what’s possible when you receive coaching based on your human design chart? Lean in because I’m about to share my client journey with Dareen, a 4/6 splenic human design projector. When Dareen and I decided to work together earlier this year, she was in a job that was dragging her down. One of her major goals was to leave her current company and land a new role that was more aligned with her values. Here’s how our journey went: 💟 DAREEN IS A HUMAN DESIGN PROJECTOR From the start, it became clear that Dareen was not feeling seen or recognized in her current position. With a...

A Gift in the Dark: Lessons on Self-Love & Personal Power

Relationships, Human Design
Power

“What if you’re powerful, even when you’re not creating or expressing? What if your power is never ‘off’—there are simply times when it isn’t visible to the world?”* As I let these questions sink in, my entire body exhaled—a breath I didn’t know I was holding.These are the kind of questions that make your shoulders drop and your thoughts stop. The kind that shake up your world to the point where it will never be the same again. In the span of seconds, I was anchored in and buoyed by a new truth. The puzzle pieces of self-understanding rearranged and clicked into place. And I felt free. Throughout my journey...

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.

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....

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

Relationships
speaking your truth

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 of 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....

What Really Happens When You Attend a Rich Litvin Intensive…

Rich Litvin Intensive

It’s quickly becoming a tradition to pull out my lap top on the flight home from a Rich Litvin Intensive to sift through the weekend. This year, my reflection will be different. Putting transformation to words is difficult. This is heart transformation, not head. Unlike last year, I didn’t go to the Rich Litvin Intensive to be a participant. I went to the Rich Litvin Intensive to be on the leadership team, which is made up of the source team and the coaching team. As a member of the source team, I volunteered to work behind-the-scenes to ensure that the event ran smoothly, while also offering support to the coaches,...

The world is falling down around you.Negative thoughts cloud your mind like thick fog in early morning.Your chest is heavy with feeling. Lead weight. It’s hard to breathe. It’s another one of those days/weeks/months where you can’t seem to catch a break. You work hard to create what you want and just when things start to happen, an unseen force yanks you back to where you don’t want to be.

You spend so much time here, treading water and searching for the shore, that you...

Manifestation, Business
signs you're on the other side

What happened? Not long ago, you were lit up by your work and your ideas. You were taking action and thriving. You were dreaming BIG and creating. And then, you weren’t. Excitement and possibility took a hard brake and you were catapulted into a black hole of exhaustion and smallness. Now you’re trying to find your way out because 1.) it’s uncomfortable and 2.) you know you’re meant for more. I totally get it. And actually, for how uncomfortable and confusing it is, you’re in the best place you can be. Even though you can’t see it yet, magic is afoot and pretty soon, you’re going to blast out of...

What It Means to Love Your Darkness & Why Your Success Depends On It

Relationships
love your darkness

I’m inflexible and rigid.An emotional roller coaster.I talk way more than I listen to the ones closest to me.I forget things easily.I can be so focused on what’s going on in my head that I completely miss whole parts of a conversation with my partner.I don’t have sustainable energy.I’m typically late for anything that requires my physical presence. And you know what? I love all of it. I love all of me. But it hasn’t always been like this. There’s a monstrous epidemic in our culture where we have become obsessed with our personal shortcomings; with all of the things we don’t like about ourselves. There’s a lot of pressure,...
