Did you know that joy is the most vulnerable emotion we feel? Those who are able to be vulnerable rather than staving it off, do so because they practice gratitude. 

I was reminded of this fact when re-watching a short Brene Brown video that I sent to my client.

I have felt worried about all of my upcoming speaking events.

Getting what I want doesn't mean it's easy.

In my journal, I asked myself, What is the worst thing that could happen? What am I most worried about?

Here was my answer...

That I would finish speaking and nobody would say,...

Your privilege is a treasure.

Did you know that 60% of our global population doesn't have a flushing toilet that properly manages human waste in the home?

This statistic blows my mind. 

Largely speaking, we get to worry about things that are blessings. 

Use your worry wisely.

Today I asked a client, why not you?

She has a desire to start a community youth program and she thinks it's a dream for ten years down the road.

Maybe it is.

With so much self awareness she said, "I don't let myself think about starting that program because I have too many doubts."

I recently heard these words by Rory Vaden at The Summit of Greatness:

Success is never OWNED;

Success is only RENTED - 

And the rent is Due Every day.

What do you think you own that you're actually renting?

I now believe I'm renting...

The waves of sadness keep rolling in, and I'm crying from my gut.

I don't know why. 

I'd like to know why. I'm not sure the why is as important as letting my body guide me through the process.

I'm listening to her.

I told you a couple of weeks ago that I discovered that the lie I...

I'm obsessed with the difference between knowledge v. knowing.

I don't know something until it lives in my bones.

If I know forgiveness only in my head, I don't know forgiveness at all.

Forgiveness, in this case, is nothing more than words.

When I forgive, I know forgiveness. 

We spent...

We forget that we are the most powerful person in our lives.

We forget that our opinion about ourselves is the one that matters most.

We give so much power to our bosses trying to please them and bend to them, because *we think* they are responsible for our future. *We think* that our...

On Saturday I felt so depressed. It came seemingly out of nowhere. I woke up feeling good, had taken Austin to open his own bank account, and once we got home I felt sad and low.  

One of my mentors reminded me that it's important to parent myself, to not let myself descend...

Do you have a desire to grow beyond your wildest imagination into the direction of your destiny?

Do you want to learn how to utilize your unique testimony and talent to serve others while living a life of fulfillment?

Well, me too! 

And guess what?!?!

November 3rd-5th (with special...

I was reminded by my friend, Tecca, that my idea for The Pump Up Session was a fledgling idea back in 2020. Two years later, the session is alive and bringing value to so many lives. I'm so grateful to that group of women who heard me share what I thought she could be.

Boy has it been nice to take a break in July.

I have become very clear that one of my life goals is to be completely off in July and December. Stay tuned. These goals feel very possible.

Here is my big life update....

We bought a lake house on Lake Erie and we close on August 26th!

Austin and I...
