This episode is your guide/coaching episode that will help you tap into the self-belief that you need to push through those new, hard things!
Folks, I’m talking about those moments when things just feel…. impossible. When a life or career transition seems impossible. When getting good at that new job feels impossible. When tackling your fitness goal or starting your business seems… really darn impossible!
Here’s the thing though: you CAN DO IT. Why? Because you’ve done hard, scary, new things before.
I’m here to help you tap back into that belief and be your strongest, most resourceful sel ..read more

"I haven't taken a sick day in 5 years," says Joe, every time someone else takes a day off.
"Judy is such a hard worker- she hasn't taken a day off in the 10 years I've worked here."
We all know the Joe's and Judy's of the world. Heck, maybe some of us fall into these very same patterns.
And if we don't, maybe we're right there applauding them for their "work ethic", their "perseverance", their "dedication to the job". Guilty? Me too.
What's more, when we end up taking our necessary sick day, we feel guilty, call ourselves lazy, and often see ourselves as less than the Judy's a ..read more

Are you hiding your true self behind a facade? Scared to let yourself be seen for who you are, to showcase your gifts, or to speak. up for what you care about?
Standing out can be scary- especially when we're standing out for who we really are: for what means the most to us, what we're most passionate about...for what we really care about. It's an incredibly vulnerable place, because when we attract that attention, we open ourselves to a more personal type of rejection.
...Sometimes, it feels so much easier to just blend in, doesn't it?
Just like anything, what's easiest isn't what is ..read more

Do you spend a hell of a lot of time trying to be good at the things you suck at?
Trust me, I’ve been there. I lived in that space for most of my life- trying to be the person who could organize papers, the person who was detail oriented, the person who knew where everything is.
I tried to fake it, and I felt inadequate and ashamed every day. Frankly, it didn’t get me very far: it just spiralled me further and further into shame, and left me drifting further and further from where I was meant to be.
But here’s the thing: why did it HAVE to be that way? Why did I HAVE TO FIT that box?&nb ..read more

Have you ever been stuck on the brink of making a decision?
Perhaps you don’t know where to start. Perhaps you’re scared of what will happen if you do.
Perhaps you’re scared of judgement: from your family, from your friends, from your colleagues.
Perhaps you’re scared of failure, of the unknown, or of what happens if you make the wrong choice?
Here’s the thing, friends: when we sit in indecision, we’re choosing inaction. And when we choose inaction, the problem— the anxiety behind the indecision, the lack of information that keeps us stuck, only continues to grow.
Join me for this fear busting ..read more

Has the complacency that has kept you going through the pandemic become a bad habit?
Has the acceptance that got you through the early days started to make you feel a little numb? Bored? Maybe just... blah??
Well, you're definitely not alone. We've settled into this pandemic bubble, one where we don't think forward beyond that shirt we keep at our desk for that impromptu zoom call.
Our need to be present, to take it one day at a time, was necessary-- hell, it was survival! It kept going during some of the hardest days of our lives, and now we're starting to see the light at the e ..read more

You're on road to developing more confidence, owning what you really want, and creating a life that you love.
And yet, somehow, you often feel like your needs just aren't being met. Like you're not being seen or heard. Like you're biting off more than you can chew while swimming around dazed and confused. And what's more: nobody seems to be helping you out!
Let's talk about that important missing piece of the puzzle: self-advocacy!
This empowering skill is something a lot of us a) don't know how to do, b) are scared to do, or c)forget this is an option in our lives, relationships, and care ..read more

"I just don't have the confidence to do that..."
We've all been there before: wanting to do something, but feeling so fearful and so completely self-doubting that we don't think it possible.
We hope that one day we just might have the confidence to go after our dreams, but until then, we keep ourselves small (after all, it's safer that way).
We look at others, knocking off their accomplishments one after another, and either think that they're much more talented than we are, or simply that they have a 'natural' confidence that you just weren't born with.
Well guess what, folks? You're not g ..read more

Have you had one of those moments where it suddenly became crystal clear that you belong somewhere else?
Where you were so damn sick of feeling like you didn’t fit the mold, that you decided to re-create it and redefine life on your own terms?
I have! Many times, over and over and over again.
Join me for a real, raw, and vulnerable story of how I learned to say "f*ck this sh*t" to what no longer served me, and thrive authentically as myself, and to learn how you can do so too.
