Over the weekend, I was perched up in my favorite little French bistro with my biz bestie, Ashley Hogan, where I was sharing with her how I crafted my yearly and monthly income goals based on everything I was truly desiring to manifest in 2017. Now let me tell you, the numbers I came up with did not feel like an easy feat. But seeing them mapped out in a such a way made them feel REAL. And when things feel real, they’re totally possible, right? So today, I want to share my step-by-step process with you so that you can become super excited about your own POSSIBILITIES and the...
How Not to Live Your Life {Unless You Want to Be Successful AND Free}
Today, I’m writing to you from a cute little coffee shop in North Conway. The sky is bright and clear. The air is crisp and freshly fallen leaves blanket the sidewalks. The colors are unreal. Brilliant yellows. Blazing reds. Bright oranges. Being so far from home, tucked away before sweeping mountain views, I can’t help but revel in how grateful I am for my life. For where I am in this exact moment. It was only three years ago that I was a tiny spec on the map of America, puttering my way through the lush beauty of the state of Oregon on the road trip that would change my...
How to Activate Your Personal Power in 3 Steps
During the transition from July to August of this year, something shifted within me. Similar to how a switch flips on and fills a room with light, a switch flipped on within me and activated a part of my personal power that was previously persisting in darkness. When I finally raised my coaching fees, in many ways, I stepped up my game, but none more powerful than in my coaching itself. It’s hard to describe the exact shift that occurred, but what I do know is that I became fearless. What I do know is that I started to trust my intuition and my uncanny ability to make connections. What...
How I Manifested My First $5K Month & It’s Not What the Gurus Are Telling You
This is a momentous moment. I feel it so deeply. Right down to the marrow in my bones. Celebration, gratitude, awe, happiness, magic—all of it. I almost can’t believe it, but at the same time, I really can. After all, I worked for this. For 20 months before this moment, I worked for this. And I finally did it: I manifested my first $5K month! [$5K cash in the bank, not projected sales]. Wow. The iconic $5,000 month. The money goal that every new or struggling entrepreneur seems to strive for. The kind of money goal that makes financial freedom feel attainable. The kind of money goal that blesses you...
3 Practices to Move Through an Ebb in Productivity
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”-Lao Tzu Rhythms. Cycles. Seasons. Can we take a hint from nature about an ebb in productivity? Contrary to popular belief, we are not meant to be “ON” all the time in order to be successful and bank the fruits of our efforts. We’re meant to live rhythmically, like the beat of a heart.We’re meant to cycle, like the push and pull of ocean tides.We’re meant to experience seasons—like spring when seeds are sown, or winter, when a deep freeze is necessary. The belief that we need to be productive all the time in order to be successful is simply a deeply conditioned...
Turn Your Biggest Flaw Into Your Greatest Gift
Do you remember that annoying girl in high school who would preach about the dangers of underage drinking and drugging? Or the partner who put you up on a pedestal and only chose to see the very best within you, even if you didn’t feel as awesome as s/he made you out to be? Yup. That was me. What was once my biggest flaw is now my greatest gift—the ability to see and cultivate the highest potential in those around me. While this is a beautiful gift to have, I didn’t understand how to best utilize it when I was younger. Having this gift made my life feel dark and...
Is Your Debt Consuming You? Read This.
DEBT. Do you have it? How does it make you feel? What comes up for you? Typically, the word debt conjures up icky feelings—shame, guilt, frustration, fear—and often times, we suffer in silence because it’s not something we feel comfortable talking about. It doesn’t have to be this way, though. In fact, if your feelings are predominantly negative towards your debt, it’s likely that you’ll continue to attract more of it because when you become so consumed with worry over your financial situation, you actually send out an energetic signal to the Universe to bring you more worry. Remember—YOU create your reality and your thoughts dictate what shows up in...

Survivor Mode OFF: Why Being on Purpose Makes You Rich
Last week, I was lucky enough to be on a mastermind call with Dr. Fab Mancini, a world renowned transformational thought leader, an expert on self-healing, and the author of multiple best-selling books. He’s also Dr. Phil’s chiropractor! How cools is that?! Anyways, Dr. Fab said something that really struck a chord within my core and now, I want to share his message with you. He said: “There are two ways you can do business. Either from survival or service.” And if we really think about it—if we really expand this truth to life in general, aren’t there two ways to live?

How to Become More Successful With This One Radical Truth
If I asked you, “do you feel successful?” What would you say? The answers I’ve heard most often are: “Yes, but…” “I’ll get there someday.” “Nope, not at all.” These answers break my heart because it doesn’t have to be this way, but I also totally get why it is this way. I would have said the same things a few months ago. Ever since I can remember, I’ve held the bar extremely high for myself. When I’ve been successful in others’ eyes, I’ve felt lacking in my own. In fact, when it came time to reflect on my first year in business, I felt that familiar feeling of disappointment;...
