Limiting beliefs are the most common obstacle holding us back. A limiting belief is something we believe to be true about ourselves or our circumstances but is not based on fact.

This week it’s time to get back to the basics. Although I refer to the “7 spokes” almost every week, it has been quite some time since we talked on the blog about what they are. Our lives are a complex balance of many areas. If you’re anything like me, you often feel like an […]
Did you know that you have a glass ceiling of joy? That most likely YOU are self-imposing? Several years ago I read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. I had so many aha-moments that I have re-read it several times since. (And highly recommend it to everyone.) In his book, Hendricks says that we have […]

Ten years ago I sat on my back porch with a pillow under my tailbone, my legs crossed, my fingers touched together and tried to quiet my mind. Not even two minutes later I realized I had wandered off to random thoughts and was just sitting in a ridiculous position while I thought about my […]
There was a season of my life I participated in hustle culture, mostly from my teen years through early twenties. I believed that burning the candle at both ends and running myself ragged would help me get to the top faster. I specifically remember one speaker in college who greatly inspired me. He was a […]
