Today, I want to encourage you to be ok with getting a C grade.

Why?

Since you’re here, I know you tend towards perfectionism.

Perfectionism is a form of armor. You can dress it up as wanting to do your best, being a high-achiever, being detail-oriented etc., but at its core, perfecti...

The more comfortable you are in relationship to other people, the more comfortable you feel with yourself.

Let’s talk about the most important relationship in your life; your partnership.

What expectations do you have of your partner?

Are you starting to rattle off a list in your head?

I know...

If you haven't read about my journey with depression and suicidal thinking, you can read about it here. 

I'm open about my mental health struggles because they are a part of who I am. I don't want to hide who I am. I want to live with integrity and feel confident. Honesty, with boundaries, helps...

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 ...

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 you’ve talked too much).

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...

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.

It’s said that how you perform in crisis is a measure of your cha...

I’m in a season of life where things couldn’t feel better.

I feel aligned with my body.

We are in the midst of this Air BnB adventure.

My work feels incredibly fulfilling.

I have a great team around me.

Preston and I are on the same page.

Austin is a hoot.

Not too long ago, life was very diff...

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 Ameri...

"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 myself. I d...

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.

I don’t live in reality because I create stories for everything that happens. So do you, {{first_name}}.

This realization has revolutionized the way I live.

Over time, I have learned that my stories go deeper than I ever imagined.
