What Would Become Possible if You Stopped Stopping?

Uncategorized

You’re either all the way on, completely off, or somewhere in the middle, revving up the momentum you lost from the last time you decided to stop. You’ve chosen greatness because greatness is who you are. And yeah—sometimes the journey gets tough and uncomfortable and like day fading into night, you want a break. You move from actively making your mark on the world back into yourself and the quiet stillness of an ordinary human life. You choose stillness because stillness is who you are too. The thing is though: Stillness will never be enough on its own. That’s because the other part of yourself—the part that’s here to lead...

The #1 Mindset Hack for Making Your Dreams a REALITY

Business, Manifestation, Travel
making your dreams a reality; Mountain View

Identifying what you want in life and business is easy.Making your dreams a REALITY is an entirely different story. How do you reconcile the two? There was a particular day four years ago—October 1st, 2013 to be exact—when the U.S. government was forced to shut down, and all of the national parks were closed until further notice. While this typically wouldn’t be an issue, that day, it was. It just happened to be the day my best friend and I were leaving to go on our eight week road trip across the U.S. Our intention was to visit all of the national parks 🙈 From the moment we decided to...

When Did You Stop Growing?

Uncategorized

If you only let in what “feels good,” are you shortchanging your growth? I used to be defensive as hell. I hated feedback. I hated reflections. {Even when people had permission to give them}. They made me cringe. They made me cry. I made them mean that I was “doing something wrong.” AKA: a major trigger for me. To protect myself, I was like water on canvas—I never let them sink in. In fact, I went to war. I was “RIGHT.” They were “WRONG.” And as a result, I defended exactly where I didn’t want to stay. That’s the thing with creating what feels impossible—the way you’re used to being...

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,...

3 Powerful Insights From a Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive

Travel, Business
Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive

Before we left the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive to go back to our lives, and a world that didn’t expand like we did, Rich encouraged us to sit with our experiences and insights—to keep them to ourselves and let them shift how we show up in the world. He encouraged us to let people feel our expansion, rather than talk about it. While I have every intention of honoring his wisdom, I also know myself well enough to know that my expansion integrates more deeply from turning around and teaching. While I can’t possibly fit the magnitude of what I experienced at the Rich Litvin Coaching Intensive into a single...

Are You Trying to Be Like Everyone Else When it Comes to Doing What You Love?

Manifest More Success

Maybe it feels safer that way. Maybe it makes more sense when you really think about it. Maybe it’s easier because then you don’t have to show people who you really are, or even deeper yet—you don’t have to admit who you really are to yourself. If there’s one thing I know about success, it’s that success only comes when you are 100% aligned. So if you aren’t experiencing the level of success you’d like to experience {or even some version of it, because yes, it does take time for success to unfold}, ask yourself: Where am I out of alignment? Am I doing what I’m doing in my life...

Manifest More Success

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.

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}

Travel

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

Uncategorized
personal power

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

first $5k month

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...
