Embracing the magic - a time to pursue impact, energy + spirituality. The magic of rituals (morning routine), of friendships, of play. When I’m in my BE state, that’s when the magic happens. When I focus on feeling focused, in flow and abundant, the things that happen are delicious. A new question - How can I bring more light into this situation? Light is joy, understanding, compassion, support, empathy. With my child, my husband, my businesses, myself? Creating spaciousness. Releasing or puttin...

Are you choosing to struggle BECAUSE of your limitations or to grow DESPITE them? I had to ask myself that Sunday night. My nanny came down sick with the flu in one of the most important weeks in my year.

The rest of the week, was finishing the last few edits on my book and running a healthy gut challenge in my wellness business. Suddenly, my 30+ hou...

You get super excited to work on a new idea….you know this will change everything. You write down the steps, you commit to it! You even tell people for the added accountability! You schedule in the time for it, and then…….you can’t seem to get traction….you spend hours working in and around your idea but not ON your idea. Sound familiar? Why? Because you’re getting stuck in the shallow end. It’s a principal one of my coaches discussed years ago I hadn’t heard of, so I went down the google deep d...

Sales = slimy. I NEVER wanted to be in sales…..I studied journalism because I loved to educate people! Yet 20 years later, I’ve overseen more than one billion in real estate sales and more than 20 million in nutritional sales. Why do we think that it’s slimy? The reality is….We are all either in sales or supporting sales. Every service requires customers and no business would thrive (or survive) without new customers and existing customers. Sales is just an energetic exchange that sometimes invo...

I don't know if I can do this. That's what was going through my mind Tuesday night. The night before I was recording my first LIVE, in person podcast.

I was nervous because the stakes had just gotten a LOT higher. Normally, I reach out to my guests. This time, they reached out to me.....for a collabo...

I’ve been quiet for a few weeks. We were waiting for some medical test results back for someone I love and it triggered me to a really difficult place. I didn’t post on social media or record podcasts, because I was frozen in a place of not being able to move forward. It was hard...not only waiting for the results but also the frustration of feeling like my life was on hold. And I’m SO glad that they came back well. But this pattern in my life has happened again and again, and I really dug deep ...

Have you ever set a goal with a friend and then completely forgot about it? And when they shoot you a text reminder, you recommit and get to work on it?
