Why "good advice" isn't changing anything
When was the last time you got really good advice… and still didn’t follow through❓ I’ve been thinking about the difference between advice and coaching lately. Because I see it all the time. And I've totally experienced it too! We hear something that clicks . It gives us that little boost of motivation 💥. But a few days go by...and nothing really changes. It's not because you don’t care about "the thing". It's because there's still something underneath there, blocking

Ever replay a meeting in your head afterwards?
It's the month of girl power! 💪 #womenshistorymonth I would love to hear how you celebrated International Women's Day this year! While we're on the subject, let's talk about women and women voices... Have you ever walked away from a meeting replaying what you said — or what you didn’t say? Ever wondered if you came across as too much… or not enough?Ever held back an idea because you weren’t sure how it would land?Ever felt confident one moment… and then second-guessed you

I’ve seen this behind the scenes for years… now I’m doing something about it.
And just like that You, it's February...whew! This month, I wanted to share about the special place that I have in my heart for newly promoted leaders and middle managers. That person who gets promoted into leadership, is handed the figurative 'keys to the castle', basically handed a laptop and told “okay... you’ve totally got this!” on their way out of their boss' door.

Feeling Stretched Thin? Try This.
Happy December to you! We’ve officially entered the season of “so much to do, so little capacity.” The plans, the people, the pressure — it all piles up fast 🏔️. And even if you’ve been cruising through the year, the holidays have a special talent for turning the dial all the way up . 🔥 So this month, I’m sharing two simple tools from my Sustainable Self-Care workshop to help you stay grounded, sane, and maybe even enjoy yourself a little. 👇 First up: Setting an Intentio

🐾What My Dog Taught me About Self-Love
Our dog, Cali, came into our lives when she was just 8 months old — a super sweet, aloof, rescue pup who immediately stole our hearts. My husband and I love her so much .🐾😍 What amazes me though, is how much love she gives us. Even when I’ve lost my patience or accidentally stepped on her paw (the guilt!), she continues to show up with total, unconditional love. She follows me around the house, looks at me with complete admiration, and gets visibly sad when I grab my pur
