Here I go again…  Diving into my passion, another creative project. It’s there, and the words are flowing. Then, all of a sudden I pause. I need more coffee. A snack perhaps. Shall I change the laundry? A scene so familiar I know to sit with it and ask, “Is this rest? Or resistance? Do I truly need a break? Or am I about to embark on a breakthrough?” Why does one resist what they desire? Why stop the flow? What is the underlying fear? And in this space I know, ...

“You should…”“You need…”“You must…” There are so many opinions, strategies, ideas… that you can find yourself doing things that feel heavy because you’ve been told you should, or it’s what everyone else is doing. Here’s the thing. Your body knows when something is aligned for you and when it isn’t. Listen within.Notice how you feel. How do you want to feel? I’ve found my way has been finding my ...

Someone needs to hear what you have to say. “I needed to hear this. Thank you.” A comment that moves me to tears and reminds me why I share. Your voice matters. Your voice makes a difference. When you feel called to speak, to write, to share…. listen to that call. Someone somewhere needs to hear it. Sometimes you’ll hear that feedback and gratitude, sometimes you’ll think no one noticed your words and wonder why you sent them out into the air. You’re not ...

Don’t “figure it out,” FEEL it out. We learn by doing, not thinking. Perfectionist and over-thinker confession. Many times I would try to figure everything out before sharing it with the world. I wanted it to be perfect and I wanted to be ready. What did I learn? It’s never going to be perfect. (What is perfect anyway? ) I’m never going to be ready. We can’t hide behind the scenes attempting to master things. Well, we can- however that’s where ...

People get behind your mission, not your marketing. People don’t want to consume information. They want to connect with experience. They want to connect with YOU. When marketing your business, remind yourself of your mission, your “why.” Speak from this place to connect and serve not to seek consumption and sales. A business is relationships. Real ones. When you are real and authentic, so is your business. The world needs who YOU are. Your light. Your gifts. Your voice. Focus ...

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been one of those people who tries to do everything myself. Either I don’t want to burden someone else, don’t want to “wait” for someone else (hello impatience!), want to be sure it’s done the way I want (umm, control freak anyone?), or am trying to save money (which usually ends up costing me more). We all have our own unique strengths, gifts and talents- our “Zone of Genius” as stated by Gay Hendricks ...

I was recently inspired to make some updates on my website. I LOVE to be creative. I initially dove in with a sense of joy and play. And then, the play turned into thinking, trying to “figure it out.” One page. Five pages. This design. That design. This info. That info. My head began to spin. Notice the “head” spin. I was no longer connected to my body, my own wisdom and personal truth- I was up in my head trying to figure it and “get it right.” Then, I ...

*Language Alert* Have you ever felt “I really want to____ but I better not because _____.”Why the fuck not?? Because it’s not the norm?Because that’s not how it’s ‘supposed’ to be done?Because, what will people think?Because, who do you think you are?Because, what if it doesn’t work?Because what if you’re not enough?BUT what if…It’s your new norm.It’s the way you’re supposed to do it.It will show people a new way to ...

“It doesn’t have to be perfect to make an impact.” I was talking with one of my fellow BodyMind coaches a little while back, and these are the words she said in our conversation. I immediately felt their power and told her I was quoting her! How many times do we hesitate, striving for “perfection?” I know I am guilty of this. It’s not ready yet. Just needs a few more things. Tear it apart, start over… But truly, perfection doesn’t get achieved, ...

Have you ever felt the pissy-ness of the people pleaser? I have. I actually wrote this last year, but it can definitely creep back up. Now that I recognize it and have the tools, it doesn’t take over like it used to. As I try to be all the things I feel I need to be to keep everyone happy and safe, I feel the pissed-off-ness of myself rising. I pause…. and realize in this state of be-ing: “a pissed off people pleaser,” NO ONE is being pleased. Whatever I give or do is ...
