How to be heard and respected without sparking arguments We all want to feel understood, respected, and seen. That yearning can show up when we give generously but feel underappreciated—or when we speak up and receive pushback or silence. If you’ve ever thought, Why can’t people just show up the way I do?, you’re not alone. This month’s Overachievers Club on June 9 (12–1 PM Eastern) will dig into these very feelings with special guest Jessica Summers, a specialist in rejection dysphoria. If you’ve ever taken a “no” too personally

A boundary-setting guide for high-achievers with big hearts When faced with tricky emotional situations, many of us fall back on behaviors that soothe our nervous system – even when those responses don’t match our values. Maybe you say ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’, soften your language to avoid conflict, or twist yourself into a pretzel trying to keep the peace. It’s human. And it’s exhausting. What if the real secret to better boundaries is learning to honor your energy  – without guilt? In this week’s blog, I’m sharing three ways

Each season brings its own rhythm. Summer energy often sparks a mix of movement, relaxation, and intention. Whether you’re slowing down or

What a cartwheel can teach you about longevity in business If you’re a neurodivergent entrepreneur – or even if you’re not – there’s one essential factor you may be overlooking in your quest for success: fun. Yes, fun. Not just productivity, not just hustle, but joy. When we talk about sustainable success, particularly through the lens of AD/HD or other forms of neurodiversity, the traditional focus on structure and strategy often misses the mark. The real fuel? Motivation, challenge, and novelty. If those aren’t present, your engine simply won’t run

Why your brain thinks everything is a threat—and what to do about it If you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and thought, “Everything is important!”—you’re not alone. Especially if you’re neurodivergent, your brain may process tasks with a heightened sense of urgency, making it feel like there’s no clear starting point. That’s not your fault. It’s how our brains are wired. Your prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for organizing, planning, and managing tasks—is not engaged when you’re overwhelmed. Instead, the limbic system, the more primitive “threat detection”

A powerful podcast, a free mini course, and one client’s inspiring storyWhen You Step Up, So Does “Your Stuff” Every time we raise the bar in our lives or businesses, something surprising tends to happen—old fears, hidden habits, and unresolved emotions resurface. It’s normal. And it’s actually a signal that you’re growing.

We wake up at the same time, follow familiar habits, and complete tasks that feel comfortable. While this consistency can be beneficial, it can also keep us stuck, repeatedly picking the “low-hanging fruit” instead of reaching for bigger, bolder opportunities. Recently, a workshop participant told me that her biggest roadblock was exactly this—defaulting to easy tasks instead of pursuing the larger goals that truly mattered

You don’t have to do it all. Find out how to maximize your impact without exhaustion or overwhelm As a solopreneur, you started your business because you wanted to make a real difference. You have a vision, a purpose, and a desire to leave the world better than you found it. But let’s be honest—the world can feel overwhelming right now.
