I was Told I was Crazy Sep 20, 2021

Five years ago, I was launching a live event.

As part of the marketing, I decided to create a video to Adele's song, Hello, using my own lyrics.

Watch it here.

At the time, I was part of a high-end mastermind group and the lovely man leading the charge saw my video and said, "Er, no. You need to...

Please Stop Saying This Sep 13, 2021

In the last week have you said any version of the following?

 

I'm sorry. I've taken up way too much of your time.

I didn't mean to ramble on.

I just talked a lot. I hope I made sense.

- Wow, did anything I say make sense?

- You're welcome (after feeling like...

Do you say this word a lot? Sep 07, 2021

I say this to almost every client.

Replace should with could or want.

I hear the word should all the time.

I should have said that instead.

I should have remembered his birthday.

I should have chosen differently.

The context of should is often beating yourself up.

Enough.

Most of us, most of the...

I’m back from Texas.

 

What a trip.

 

We were literally greeted at the airport with Covid. My in-laws had it and didn’t realize, and tested positive three days later.

 

Austin woke up with all the symptoms on the fourth day.

Bragging About Tecca Jul 22, 2021

I have so much to say but the words won't come out.

Tecca Thompson is a former client, and friend, whose light has always been bright. 

How does a young girl who knows she is supposed to be on stage stare into the crowd, unable to speak, when sharing the announcements at Church?

How does an...

How do you Inspire? Jul 13, 2021

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the women to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

I love this quote because it speaks to my need to be given the answer. If you give me the answer, I don't have to think for...

The Opposite is Unthinkable Jul 06, 2021

This morning I was driving Austin to school thinking about how this is one of the last times I will make this drive.

He currently attends a pre-school close to downtown Columbus about 12 minutes from our house.

His new school, where he starts Kindergarten at the end of August, is a 7 minute walk....

You Think you Live in Reality. Here's Why you Don't. Jun 28, 2021

This realization has revolutionized the way I live.

Stories have little bearing on the truth....

I'm Learning to Trust Myself. Are you? Jun 22, 2021

Every person I coach is looking to trust themselves more.

No exceptions.

I want to share an important experience that helped me find my voice that little bit more.

A few months ago I was invited to be considered to speak at an event. The event sounded fantastic; the biggest audience I would have...

A Story About Being More of Me Jun 15, 2021

On the day of the 2016 election, I wrote a blog that I was advised by someone I trusted to hold back on submitting because it was controversial.

In hindsight, I listened too much to this person and not enough to my own voice.

I shared that I was turned off by how fellow women in the coaching...
