I'm often asked how I make decisions in business. And, I hear a lot about past decisions clients have made that they regret. We talk about both of those things in this episode.

Let's find out! It's a fun topic. It's a necessary topic. And, one that I hope helps anyone out there who might be struggling. Or,...

Today, we are talking to Lindsay Poelman (coach) and Kathy Kinghorn (therapist) about the importance of being trauma-informed. If our goal is to help our clients get where they want to go and for us to "do no harm" in helping them get there, then we really need to understand trauma. We need to know what it looks like, how it can present, how to let people have their stories, how to help them work through it, and when to pull in or suggest additional support. In this episode, we get into: - Big '...

How do you feel about sales and selling? I kind of love it! And, the way I think about it may be a really helpful paradigm shift for you. That is what we're diving into in today's episode of the podcast. Are you showing up and selling something that people want to the people who want it? That is how you help people. Selling is helping, selling is leadership - if you approach it that way. And, people want good leaders. We want to know how to take advantage of the awesomeness around us. So, it’s o...

After leaving a job in Silicone Valley ("There was not a dollar amount you could pay that was going to get me to stay.") and disappointing a lot of people along the way, Kelly found the thing that fills he...

When I was hosting the Disruption Sessions earlier this fall and was talking about disruption and disorientation, I was reminded that not everybody wants to lean into that. As human beings, we like to stay comfortable and safe. But, here's the thing... disruption is actually a way to alignment - which most of us DO want. If we want something new or to do what is good and right, that usually requires some sort of disruption, disorientation, discomfort. We can't get there by clinging to what we al...

What would it be like to not betray yourself? Allow me to give you some context... I was listening to Brene Brown recently, and she was talking about how we will often betray ourselves before disappointing others . This is a big one for me. I have definitely grown in this area but there are still times and spaces it sneaks in. I'm wondering if it's the same for you? So, what if we tried that on this week? What if, before any response or action we took, we stopped to consider is this FOR me or is...

It is not only allowed but required that you bring your WHOLE self to your business. In so many ways, we can make ourselves wrong for who we are in business. But, we don't have to. You don't have to do it how anyone else does. And, it doesn't have to be a total slog. If you were to open up the door and let all of you in, what would happen? Why not do what feels better if you're still gonna get the same (or an even better) result? Pop on over to Instagram and let me know your takeaways. What does...

Emotions are the fuel we use to run our lives. But, I think we often get this wrong as a society. We have this perception that some emotions are better than others, that there is a "right" way to feel, or that we are supposed to be happy all of the time. When, in fact, we are able to swing through all of the emotions and are equipped to handle them all. We are meant to live full-spectrum lives. And, there is power in feeling what you're feeling at any given moment. What if we allowed ourselves t...
