Why your client calendar empties faster than you think
The seasonal mindset that keeps your calendar full and your work flowing I was speaking with a powerful and well known mentor coach the other day. He has been in the coaching world for many years, so I asked him a question I often ask experienced professionals: What do you believe most often gets in the way when coaches are growing their business? His answer was something I learned years ago, and many lessons are timeless. As our businesses grow, we must remember to keep planting seeds. The garden metaphor
A fresh start for March: Strengthening your base layer
Building sustainable habits that support both well-being and success February has been such a beautiful month, and this time of year always feels like a transition point. A chance to reset, refocus, and look at what truly supports us. As we move into the first part of March, I am especially excited because the Overachievers Club is welcoming a very special guest…on Monday! Introducing: Ingrid Elise For those of you who may not know her yet, I am thrilled to introduce Ingrid Elise, often called the green goddess of the
When your schedule runs your life instead of you
How to find clarity, reduce frustration, and focus on what truly matters If you’re trying to level up your work in the world (especially as a coach, entrepreneur, or solopreneur) you may notice something frustrating happening: you’re working hard, doing many things… And yet, you still feel stuck. Often, what sits underneath that feeling of stuckness isn’t a lack of effort. It’s actually the opposite. You may be trying to do too many things at once. Instead of identifying the two or three actions that would truly move the needle,
When doing more stops working
How to work with your capacity instead of against it If you’re a coach who’s been doing this work for a while, this may sound familiar: You keep trying to level up → You set bigger goals → You push yourself to do more and do it better = And yet, somehow, there never seems to be enough time in the day. Over time, this often turns into something subtle but exhausting: unrealistic daily expectations. When you’re honest with yourself, you expect more from each day than a human being
The reason we may suddenly procrastinate
What mid-level coaches need before more leads, better messaging, or bigger goals. I know you’re motivated. I know you want to get somewhere and do something. You’re probably a go-getter. Maybe even an overachiever. You see something, and you go for it. And yet… have you ever noticed that strange moment when you’re doing the thing you said you wanted to do, and suddenly you’re procrastinating? You find yourself standing in the kitchen eating a snack and wondering, “Why am I doing this right now?” That moment isn’t laziness. And
Loving up your money: A February reset for entrepreneurs
An invitation to lead your business with clarity and confidence February is here, and where I am in New Hampshire, it’s one of those perfect bluebird days. Bright sun, blue skies, and that winter beauty that makes you stop and breathe for a minute. February brings more daylight, more sunshine, and yes, the month of love. Which makes it the perfect time to talk about something entrepreneurs don’t always like to admit we struggle with: our relationship with money. As overachievers, we’re wired to want more.That drive can be powerful,
A different way to plan that actually feels like you
Why vision works best when it starts from who you already are Welcome, 2026. Here we are. A new year is beginning. This is usually when people start talking about goals. Or not doing goals. Or visions. Or anti-visions. I believe there is a lot of confusion and pressure hiding behind all of it. If you are feeling pressured, please be assured that you don’t have to force yourself to plan your entire life. This is about finding a way forward that actually feels like YOU. If goals feel heavy,
You need this before the year begins
Using stillness to align with what you truly want Welcome to one of my favorite months of the year. When I look back over the last decade or so, my most treasured moments weren’t the busiest or most productive weeks. They were the quiet ones. Why do I love quiet so much? Because in the quiet, we can finally hear ourselves. And what I know to be true – again and again – is that our answers already live inside us. They just need space to surface. A different approach
Slowing down to move forward
How winter helps you reconnect with clarity, rhythm, and inner knowing Winter gets such a bad reputation. Every time I say I love winter, I can practically see people tilt their heads like, “Are you okay?” And I get it. We’ve been trained to see winter as something to survive. But honestly? Winter is one of my favorite teachers. As I’ve gotten older, and as my work has deepened, I’ve noticed something beautiful. The deeper I go in my own life, the more powerful the work becomes – for me
Courage beats planning for your next bold move
Real insights from real coaches on rising strong I’ve been stepping more fully into my mission of helping coaches (like you?) level up without burning out. Especially mid-level coaches who feel like they’re carrying the weight of doing it all. I ran a quick poll across several coaching groups on LinkedIn, just to understand what coaches feel they need most to rise to their next level. I printed it all out so I could really sit with it. And then something BIG came through. What coaches say they need most
