Gratitude even when times are tough
Hey there, I read some posts on gratitude yesterday that really resonated with my spirit.
And now's obviously the season to share.
It's easy to be grateful when life is good. When you're harvesting the fruits of abundance.
(Even so, with the busy-ness of our lives, we still don't take time to...

Maybe this is what you need to bloom
When we took a break, I decided to get outside and move my body by taking a little walk.
I saw water in the distance, and walked down to the edge of what happened to be the Mississippi.
As I got closer to the water, I noticed a lot of the foliage, grass and weeds were darkened and crunchy, almost...

You choose by not choosing
Wanna know something that makes my stomach turn?
When people say, "You're just so busy..." or "I know how busy you are..."
It always makes me think, "Oh, man, have I made you feel that way?" or "Did it take too long for you to get on my calendar?" or "Are you just following my antics on social me...

Finding meaning in every season
Hey, it's October! Let's talk seasons.
What I love about the word 'seasons' is, it makes it feel like there's an end to a time I'm walking through.
ALL seasons have an end.
In the Spring...
We enjoy the warming temps, rapid growth, and budding leaves and flowers. (But maybe you don't look forward...

The TWO types of rest (one you're probably missing)
Not sure if you're a driver (I am), but hopefully this'll still resonate with you regardless.
Drivers tend to drive toward making stuff happen. Hard.
But one the things us drivers don't drive super fierce toward?
REST.
And as a driver, let it be said: This isn't be a topic I've loved in the past....

Being afraid to rock the boat
Have you ever heard the saying...?
"Correction is direction, not rejection."
It's a powerful little statement I frequently remind people of when we're running together.
A lot of time because I'm sharing feedback with people, right? I might say, "Permission to coach?" Or "Permission to be direct...

Does everything feel messy?
I got to hear from an incredible speaker in the last week or so, named Kindra Hall.
One of the things she said is,
"It's not the magnitude of your story, it's that you tell it."
So I'm telling my story today in case it encourages somebody else.
In March of 2022, I had believed a story for a rea...

Be real: Are you doing it...or not doing it?
A bit of an above-the-fold mention real quick of something before I dig into this week's topic (which totally relates!)
On August 20th from 9-12, I'm hosting a live workshop made to help you get into momentum on your most important goals.
So quick question...is there a goal you've had, that you j...

Momentum. It's not always in the direction you think.
I got wise words in-person from THE James Clear (of bestseller Atomic Habits) this past weekend!
He was keynote speaker at a health convention I was at. (You may already know I've been on a health journey since March of 2022.)
There were some incredible takeaways that I want to share with you fro...

That time a building made me cry
You may have heard...
"If nothing changes, nothing changes. If you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting."
Courtney Stephens wrote that in her book The Lies About Truth. She follows it up with:
"If you want change, make some."
With that in mind, here's ...

From feedback to Target tantrums: "Sticking it" to other people
I might look a little haggard in today's video. It was just before jammie time.
I'd had three of the longest (and most amazing) days in a row since launching my business.
As the week started, I had thought "Oh my gosh, there's so much happening."
But as I got through those three days, I realized ...

It's not what you don't know...it's what you're not doing
I read a quote the other day.
"What keeps people stuck isn't what they don't know. It's what they're not doing."
Oof. Kind of a gut punch, but I appreciate those from time to time.
So anyway, I was mulling that around, and then we went camping. (Well, actually glamping because if you know me, I...
