The holiday high was so good. Now, it’s back to Zoom meetings, virtual schooling, and the anxiety of what this year holds. I think most resolutions read, simply: Survive. I see you, ladies. And I feel you, too. Sure, there’s a lot we can’t control. But there’s also a lot that we can. So I’m launching […]

A client of mine began the year intending to quit the job she hates so she could start her own business. Then, COVID happened, so she let go of that dream and stayed put. It all just seemed too risky. But during a recent group coaching call, I encouraged her to share the fears that […]

“I don’t even know what my own interests are anymore.” My client spoke those words, and although the comment didn’t surprise me, it still cracked a little piece of my heart. She’s a successful, ambitious, hardworking 40-something executive with a husband and kids. Which means she’s in the same boat a lot of us are—left […]

Dear Friends, I see you. I hear you. And I want to help you find clarity amidst this uncertainty. While I typically offer only 12-month packages for one-on-one coaching, I’m opening a limited number of slots for a special bundle: A one-hour, one-on-one coaching intensive and unlimited access to my self-guided, 9-session, Your Life Your […]

A client sent me a note recently. My gut is starting to speak loudly to me. Starting? No, I told her, it always has. And I really believe that. If ever you feel like you’ve lost your intuition, your sense of inner knowing, my guess is you’ve likely stopped listening to your gut. Perhaps you […]

I’ve talked to a handful of clients and friends recently about how life forced them to create space. One friend had been talking about leaving her lackluster and high-stress job for over 10 years. It seemed she always had one more project to see through, though—until her position was eliminated. “That was the best gift […]

Last winter, my husband, Nick, and I took our girls sledding on a bright and perfect January afternoon. It was a disaster. The girls were little, so Nick hopped on the sled with them to help keep it balanced. His weight caused the snow to billow out from underneath and spray them in the face. […]

You gotta be brave before you can be good. I heard the line while watching the movie “Hearts Beat Loud,” and it keeps coming back to me—this idea that bravery precedes many of our successes. It’s a New Year, and many of us have a resolution or two for the next 12 months. But I […]

I was on the phone this week with a potential client, a driven and successful woman who was toying with the idea of investing in a coach. “Honestly,” she said, “I think life coaches are a joke.” “Me too!” I told her. Because I do. I totally and completely understand why you might be skeptical […]

My ideal Saturday goes as follows: I sleep in (and by sleep in, I mean wait for my kids to wake me up instead of setting an alarm). Head up to our local cafe, Fox in the Snow, for a killer cup of coffee, an egg sandwich and a donut. I do something fun with […]

I can ask that question—have you made peace with imperfection?—because I’m a recovering perfectionist myself. And frankly, my desire to make things “perfect” have made for a whole lot of wasted time and lost sleep. Can you relate? It’s no secret that striving for perfection sets us up for disappointment, frustration, and strained relationships, making […]

I don’t do coffee dates. As someone who listens for a living, I’m often asked to “grab lunch” or “meet for coffee” throughout the week. I won’t do it. I decline these offers (with love) because I want to protect the time I get to spend on my business. And I’m always transparent with those […]
