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 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

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

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

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

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. I’ve got wisdom, you’ve got wisdom, and sometimes we just need reminders of what we ALREADY know. This week, the Winds of Wisdom whisper this: You already know the

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

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
