The thing I finally admitted to myself in 2021
Over the last month, I’ve been part of a cohort with 31 other small business owners here in San Diego, and the experience has sparked a lot of reflection for me. I’ve loved connecting with people from different backgrounds and perspectives, while also navigating some very human moments of comparison and self-doubt -- wondering if I’m doing "enough" or growing fast enough. But I think it’s important to normalize that even when you’re building something meaningful, you can stil

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.

I’ve seen this behind the scenes for years… now I’m doing something about it.

Explore new perspectives without a complete overhaul
This month of January tends to bring some feelings with it (anyone?) 👋 For some people, it’s all “new year, new goals, let’s go!” 🎉For others, it’s quieter - a pause, a checking-in, a wondering what the year ahead might hold. 👓And for some… it honestly just feels like just another week on the calendar. 📆 There’s a common thread I keep hearing when people talk about work... A sense that something wants to shift. Not necessarily in a “quit your job tomorrow” kind of

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
