How to stop chasing and start living
For years my husband said something to me that should have felt like the most beautiful gift in the world. You don’t need to earn any money. I just want you to create what you’re called to create. And every time, a part of me flinched. Pushed back. Refused to …

Raise your glass to the wise voice within
My husband and I have a tradition. When we sit down with a cocktail or a glass of wine—whether we’re out at a restaurant or curled up on our own couch—we clink glasses and offer a toast. Nothing unusual about that. But here’s where it gets interesting: I often raise …

The language of emotion.
My throat tightened before I even realized I was crying. I was mid-sentence—trying to say something personal, something that mattered—and suddenly I couldn’t get the words out. My chest constricted. My jaw trembled. My voice collapsed into silence. And in that split second, all I could think was: Damn it. …

What if you took up more space?
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to someone for the first time. They said their name—three beautiful syllables—and then added with a quick smile, “But you can call me [short version] if my name is too long for you.” And just like that, something subtle but significant happened. They …

I want more clients (and part of me is ashamed to admit it)
There’s a strange tightrope we’re taught to walk, especially as women. Be ambitious—but not too ambitious. Promote your work—but don’t come off as pushy. If you want more—say it indirectly, with an apologetic smile. For a long time, I danced that dance. I didn’t fully own what a great coach …

What’s one of the juiciest dreams you hold for your life?
“What’s one of the juiciest dreams you hold for your life?” It’s a vulnerable thing to answer that question honestly. Sometimes, we’re not even honest with ourselves about our biggest dreams. They sit tucked away in the quieter corners of our hearts, buried under the weight of busyness, self-doubt, and …

The question that cracked me open
Someone’s gloved hands are stuffed into my mouth, pressing against my inner jaw. The smell of latex and oil. I’m lying on a treatment table, breathing deeply to stay present for what is. There is no talking. Just silence. Stillness. Surrender. After years of stress-related jaw clenching I was receiving …

The “later” trap. The impact of ignoring small tasks.
A few times a year, I think about my vacuum. It’s been broken for five years. I know there’s a repair shop in town, but it’s on the other side of the city and I have no idea how the process works. Will I need an appointment? How long will …
