How much is enough? I invite you to consider that right now. You may not know the answer yet. So, give it a couple of minutes. When we’re solopreneurs and doing most (or ALL) of the work ourselves, we often feel as though we have to stay ahead of everything. We tell ourselves: “I love my business.” “I love my clients.” “I love my work.” And that’s wonderful. Of course it is. But because we love what we do, we just keep doing MORE of it. We create posts. We
When the right strategy still isn’t working
Understanding what your business needs next Sometimes, you can follow EVERY recommended strategy, complete every task, and make every “this should work” adjustment… and yet your business still does not move forward the way you expected. And when that happens, it’s SO easy to think: “I just need a better plan… a new strategy… another program…” But what if the real issue is not strategy at all? Before leaving for vacation, I had a really grounding conversation with Dr. Heather Tucker about exactly this idea – what might actually be
Selling without feeling salesy
You do not have to become someone else to sell your work well Here we are in mid to late July, one of my favorite times of the year. Today, I want to talk about something that comes up again and again for coaches, consultants, healers, and heart-centered business owners: How do we invite people to work with us without feeling awkward, pushy, or overly salesy? Because the truth is, a lot of us love the work we do. We love helping people. We believe in what we offer. But
The second half of the year deserves a plan too
Create room for meaningful work, real rest, and the experiences you do not want summer to leave behind I’m currently preparing the workbook and presentation for my upcoming Second Chance at Summer workshop, and something has been on my mind. I’ve spoken with several people about the workshop. Some have said they are interested but busy. Others have said they will absolutely be there. And a few have said, “It’s probably not something I need.” That response made me curious. Do we really not need time to think intentionally about
Your next level starts with being seen
Your next level may not require a new credential, website, or identity. There is a familiar moment many solopreneurs, coaches, and purpose-driven leaders know well. You can feel yourself standing at the edge of your next level. You know there is more you are READY to offer, more people you are here to serve, and a bigger version of your work trying to emerge. And then the mind begins its negotiation. But most of the time, the missing piece is not what you think you need. The missing piece may
The invisible belief keeping brilliant badasses exhausted
Growth is beautiful, but you were never meant to use it as proof that you are finally enough. Today is about exhaustion, which apparently I’ve got. And I want to talk about one of the lies, maybe THE lie, that keeps brilliant coaches just like you (okay…and me…), exhausted. The lie that keeps us exhausted There is this unconscious belief that creates a little friction inside us. It sounds something like this: That’s what you need to do to be brilliant, right? Growth is beautiful. However… underneath that beautiful desire
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
