Get your gutsy on

Permission to be…

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 [...]

My Favorite Personal Growth Books: A Short List

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, YOU.

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 [...]

The Year In Review (and a little something for YOU)

Every year, about this time, I like to reflect back on the year drawing to a close, and do some intention-setting around the year ahead. I’m not exactly a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but that being said, I think there is great value in spending some time consciously envisioning what lies ahead and what [...]

What if you ask better questions?

I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty easy for me to get caught up in the “what if” spiral. What if I make a mistake? What if they don’t like me? What if I end up looking like a total idiot? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don’t have enough [...]

Happy? Carry on.

I came across this flow chart the other day, and thought I’d share it, because it completely distills down the path to happiness into a very simple, executable process. Okay, I know it’s kind of silly, and maybe even simplistic. But I still think it’s brilliant. So simple, so straightforward. Though not necessarily easy. The [...]

Everyday Ordinary Courage

I keep pondering the word gutsy. It should be no surprise that I spend a lot of time thinking about this word and what it means. After all, I have a tagline that says “helping gutsy women do cool things”.  I’ve got a new group coaching program beginning in January called The 28 Day Gutsy [...]

99 Things to Cherish Right Now

There’s a saying to the effect of “what you focus on, grows”. I’ve been thinking a bunch about that lately. About how it’s easy to focus on the negative, to focus on what we DON’T have rather than what we DO have, to wish for things to be something other than what they are, to [...]

Better Living Through White Space

I don’t know about you, but I can get super-focused on making everything about some kind of accomplishment. I don’t just go for a bike ride, I have to ride 100 miles. Or I’ll ride my favorite route, and try to hit a personal best time for it. Or I’ll have a goal to write [...]
