Your next breakthrough may not need a new strategy
Why trusting yourself matters more than finding the perfect plan. Many coaches believe their next breakthrough will come from finding the right strategy. And while strategy certainly matters, I’ve noticed something interesting after years of working with entrepreneurs and coaches… Most of the time, strategy only becomes a problem when HESITATION prevents EXECUTION. It’s the second-guessing, the overthinking, the endless loop of asking yourself, “What if this isn’t the right move?” Many people describe this as “getting in their own way.” When growth changes shape There comes a point in
Why visibility feels hard and what to do about it
I hate social media. “I hate social media.” This is a conversation I hear often from coaches and entrepreneurs. Yet in the very next breath comes the question: “How do I get clients without it?” Many people find themselves caught in a push-and-pull relationship with visibility. They want to grow their business, expand their impact, and reach more people. At the same time, certain marketing activities feel exhausting, uncomfortable, or misaligned with their values. Recently, I had a powerful conversation with another coach at an ICF conference. Ironically, I first

The bold practice of being yourself
Sometimes growth is less about changing yourself and more about fully stepping into who you’ve always been. I know you are awesome. But, do YOU??? Welcome to week 3 of Winds of Wisdom! I invite you to pause for a moment and simply have some fun with me here. I believe that if you’re reading this, you’re already a wise person.

When discomfort is actually growth
Growth can feel messy before you become masterful In this week’s Winds of Wisdom, I found myself reflecting on something I hear from entrepreneurs and coaches all the time: “I’m just trying to get clear.” And honestly, I think many people already are clear. They already know the kind of work they want to do. They already know they want to help people. They already know they’ve outgrown certain ways of doing things. But then comes the harder part. Actually >> choosing it. << Actually letting themselves want more. Letting
The coach you are waiting to become already exists
What happens when you stop softening your voice and start leading? This past winter, I periodically grabbed my phone and spoke into my Facebook app through video. I called it the Winter Women’s Wisdom Series. It was informal, unscripted, and something I created in the moment. And it was fun. Now, as we move into Spring and Summer, I felt inspired again. This time, I’m committing to a 10-week series called The Winds of Wisdom. Each week, I’ll share something simple, but meaningful. Something that, if you let it, might
Are you growing or just pushing harder?
Finding the right pace for sustainable growth as a coach Why do successful coaches get stuck when they’re trying to reach the next level? From my experience, it usually comes down to one of two things. Expanding beyond your capacity One of the biggest reasons we get stuck is trying to do more than we actually have the capacity for. In 2022, I tried to expand faster and bigger than I realistically could handle. And it caught up with me. So here’s my advice, based on that experience: >>Go slowly<<
The morning I fainted, and what it reminded me about slowing down
Business thrives when we thrive The other morning reminded me that I am human too. I want to share a story that was unfortunate, but in a strange way, also fortunate. At 6:00 am, I fainted on my kitchen floor. I had an embedded tick, and after a trip to the ER, thankfully, I am fine. The doctors checked me out, and the good news is that physically, everything is okay. What they explained is that my body likely reacted through the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is part of
Stop Being Fine
A simple spring reset to clear the clutter, shift your energy, and finally move toward what you actually want this quarter It’s the beginning of a new month. A new quarter… A new season. And whether you pay attention to the moon, the calendar, the weather, or just that little whisper inside that says “something needs to change,” there is something powerful about a fresh start. As I write this, we’ve just entered the second quarter of the year, and Spring is arriving. The world outside is waking up. Maybe
