Years ago, I started the entrepreneurial journey the same way many people start it: I had a skill I was good at, worked at a place that sucked, and decided “I can do it better than that guy…I should start my OWN business!” I was a hair colorist, working in a salon that was, well, [...]
Just a quick note today, because my head is full. O-ver-flowing, I tell you! See, I just wrapped up with another group from The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge, which is always a bit of a bittersweet moment. Yay, it was awesome! Yay, women are getting gutsier! Being bolder! Speaking their truth! Doing courageous, brave [...]
One of the things I keep finding myself saying to my coaching clients is that there is no “there” to get to, the work is rarely “done” in terms of personal growth, changing habits, or being more of the person you want to be. We set off on a personal growth journey to learn something [...]

One of the things about being a coach is that at least for me, I think it’s really important to walk your talk. In other words, if I’m spending all this energy encouraging other women to be more courageous and gutsy, then I better be pushing my own edge of the envelope from time to [...]
Two fabulous things are happening in the next few weeks: first, The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge begins again on April 4th, and I’ll be having a birthday on March 16th. Hooray for both! I’m not sure which I’m more excited about—I love having birthdays, because it’s an opportunity to take exceptionally good care of [...]

One of the first [...]

I wish I knew what I did to shift things, or could tell you the one magic coaching solution I found that got me to the other side of a bad space I found myself in recently. See, I was in a deep, dark funk late last fall—felt completely incompetent, inadequate, dejected about the state [...]

I love to read. I love just about anything having to do with books, and so if you’ve been a client of mind (or, for that matter, anyone who has had a conversation with me) you’ll know that I am always popping off book recommendations. And recently, I was asked to put together a list [...]

Thank you. Yes, I’m talking to you. You, my biggest fan, my eternal cheerleader, my sounding board, my shoulder to lean on, my fiercest critic, my loyal reader, my constant support system. My friend, my client, my colleague, my cohort. I am so grateful for you. You are there for me, thick and thin, giving [...]

As you may have heard me mention before, I’m not really much of a New Year’s Resolutions kind of gal. (Though truth be told, it wouldn’t hurt me to make a couple. Like a vow to take a daily vitamin. Or a promise to myself to do some core-strengthening exercises that will alleviate my nagging [...]
