One common denominator found in almost every great leader is they are investing in a coach. Whether that’s a business coach, life coach, or one of the hundreds of differentiations that exist, the bottom line is they are hiring someone to help them get better in an area of their lives. It makes sense right? You […]

What we have gotten wrong about growth
Hey Faves, On Saturday I officially uploaded Chapter 1 to my editor for my book that will come out later this year. This is an excerpt from that chapter that has been on my mind a lot lately. “I’ve often heard it said that there is no such thing as stagnant. You are either growing, […]
I See You
I see you, the real you. When I look at you, I see your greatness. I see your potential. You are already worthy and have value in my eyes without needing to justify anything to me. If you need someone to believe in you, I do. If you feel like there is all this potential […]
Do I owe them an explanation?
The same topic has come up on three of my coaching calls recently. It’s something I know I have personally struggled with so much in my life as well. My clients have shared with me the fallout they fear will follow them making a change. They know what change they want to make. They know […]
Can we lower the bar? Actually….yes.
If any part of the holiday season is beginning to overwhelm you, I want to offer you a word of encouragement. You don’t have to do it all. Just in case you need me to say it again with other words, it’s okay to let go of some things. In fact, it’s probably healthy. Maybe […]

Who exactly hires a life coach?
Who exactly hires a life coach? Most people do not understand what a life coach does. The majority of people have never worked with one. And if they have, each individual is as diverse an experience as one restaurant is to another. So for this week’s blog post, I thought it would be fun to […]
Are you too much?
Have you ever been told you are too much of something? I’ve been told this my entire life. You are too loud. Too talkative. Too bossy. Too bold. Too smart. Too honest. Too intimidating. Too committed. Too energetic. Too passionate. Too serious. Too busy. I was a lot of too many things. I don’t recall […]
The phrase that won’t leave my mind
I heard this phrase the other day that I cannot get out of my mind. Your favorite self. It’s just three words, but the inferences of the phrase say so much more. Phrases like “your best self” and “your potential” and “step into your greatness” have always left me feeling off. I have used them […]
