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
I learned balance is possible while achieving my business goals
How to move forward this spring without tipping into burnout A client who just completed the Wintering Q1 Sacred Spiral Program, when asked about the best result, stated, “I learned balance is possible while achieving my business goals.” Amen, sister! As I’m writing this, it’s just after St. Patrick’s Day. There’s a bit more light in the sky, a bit more warmth in the air, and that subtle feeling that something is shifting. We’ve just moved through the equinox, one of those rare moments where the whole planet shares nearly
Why your business energy shifts with the seasons
How slowing down in winter helps you take more aligned action in spring March in New Hampshire has a personality of its own. One day you see patches of bare ground and sunshine, and the next day the wind reminds you that winter is not quite finished yet. For me, that shifting energy is exactly what makes March so interesting. We often hear “in like a lion, out like a lamb,” and it captures the experience perfectly. March can feel windy, unsettled, and full of movement. And when you think
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,
