Embrace Who YOU Are On today's UNSCRIPTED, I shared about an experience I had yesterday that moved me to tears.I was in a course to learn your Business Archetype. Reviewing the types, I wanted to be the badass! The rebel! The trailblazer!Have you ever wanted to be that? Or perhaps you are!So when the quiz results came back showing, "The Innocent," I sighed.  It reminded me of when I was in college and decided to go out one night sporting a leather biker jacket and some kick-ass ...

They look like they've got it all! Today's UNSCRIPTED live was about this. You can watch the replay here: Or the Podcast Version here.How many times have you compared or measured yourself based upon what something appears to be, or what someone appears to have?So many times what we "see" isn't what it appears to be.Usually when you scroll online, you mostly see everyones life all together.Businesses launching programs and services. That perfect couple that is so in love. The one who lost their ...

The most important part of planning... It's not the income goal. It's not the calendar commitments to showing up. It's not the mindset shift. It's not the promises. It's not the resolutions. It's not even the goal or the vision...Yes, these things are important for sure... and there is one thing that is more important, and often a step not talked about or thought about.That step? Presence.While it's great to plan for the future, it's vital to be here, today. In this moment. To be present as you ...

Merry Christmas! I'm gonna lose my shit! Are you feeling overwhelmed this season? The shopping, the cleaning, the wrapping…  Perhaps you too are processing grief? It's not only holiday tasks on my plate, it's other unexpected to-do's that keep showing up, right alongside the underlying sadness of a “first” Christmas with new empty seats around the table. Merry Christmas! I’m gonna lose my shit!  Those are the words that I felt the other day as I tried to hold ...

I thought about it long enough... And allllll that thinking was having me hiding backstage. Stuck in the swirl of questions. Thinking and thinking, but taking no action...Well, except making pretty banners to declare it, whenever I'd finally be ready to share it.UNSCRIPTED. Why? Precisely for this reason! To let it be real, raw, messy and vulnerable! To get out of my head and just do the darn thing!Yet old patterns of resistance took hold. There I was, fumbling behind the scenes, doing all the ...

You lead by living. One of my mentors was talking today about how simply witnessing someone transformed their life. See, it’s not always about what products or services we offer. It’s about how we show up. It’s about who we are. It’s about how we live. We’ve all heard the saying, “do as I say, not as I do.” Yet, we all know that it’s the “doing” that has more impact. Therefore your truest leadership is how you are showing up to ...

I was in my studio, working on my next book, and I hit a block. In these moments it’s SO easy to reach for my phone, check social media, decide to go get something to eat, start cleaning something, think of all the things I could be doing, call someone to talk, and so on… Every part of me wants to stop. Shove it to the side for another day (which may be days or weeks later). Yet, it’s in this moment, this moment of decision of what I choose to do, that makes all the ...

I received a lovely message about spending, and it inspired me to remember this teaching I received from one of my mentors. As we move into the season where lots of “spending” typically occurs, I thought this would be a timely share to inspire YOU as well. When we “spend” it typically feels like we are losing what we spend… We “spend” our money, now it’s gone.We “spend” our time, now it’s gone.We “spend” our ...

It’s too cold to go in my writing studio. I’m hungry. I have other things to do. I’ll do it tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’m feeling inspired enough right now. Resistance. All of the reasons to not pursue my dream, my want, my desire, my soul calling. These reasons, thoughts, chatter… seem to creep in to distract and challenge us as we move in our desired direction. Have you ever wanted something and then find yourself hearing the excuses as to why it’s ...

I might need that, or want that someday. That sentence right there has had me hold on to a lot of stuff. See, I’ve gotten rid of stuff before, then later regretted it. That jacket I never wore? Well, as soon as I donated it, it was suddenly the jacket that would have complimented every outfit. That story, and others like it, have me hanging on to a lot of stuff, just in case of some day… We all have stories that can keep us where we are, doing what we are doing, and holding on to ...
