When clients send little notes that just make your day 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

Fresh turmeric and lemongrass from my niece’s garden. Added chopped chicken, fresh ginger, carrots, bok choy, avocado oil, coconut milk, water, and noodles.

I spent a full 9 days sick after Christmas. First a stomach bug, then immediately strep. Bleh.

This soup did my body good. Full of all my favorite things. And, anti-inflammatory to boot.

I want to feel good this year. That means feel good in my body, in my skin, in my work, relationships, family, travels … all of it. Health and joy. That’s my focus. What’s yours?

Nothing changes if you don't. Get this year star

Nothing changes if you don't.

Get this year started right. Start running your business TODAY how you want it to look a year from now. This means ...

🌟 Set stronger boundaries to protect your personal time.
🌟 Enforce your agreements, cancellation policies, and terms and conditions.
🌟 Start raising your rates for new clients.
🌟 Craft your content and new offerings to speak to your dream clients.
🌟 Communicate changes in policy.
🌟 Set specific work hours. And play hours 😉
🌟 Say no to tasks you don't want to do. And, yes, to more of what you do want.

There is no time like the present to start crafting the future you want! Happy New Year! #happynewyear #nowplaying

What makes you happy?

As this year draws to a close, I’m left feeling a little like I’ve been wrung out. I’ve written about it a good bit. Business has been … weird. Life has been … weird. Sleep as been … spotty. My direction has been … curvy.

But one thing remains behind it all. My daughter. Every decision to scale back. To take time off. To lessen my hours. To say no to a project. To step away from an offering. It all had to do with focusing on having time with my girl. I won’t get these moments back.

As I closed out with a client yesterday, we centered a lot of our conversation around the question: “what would make you happiest?”

So as we begin the mental transition to a new year, I’m curious what makes YOU happy?

And I challenge you to:
💫 stop comparing
💫 step out of what isn’t inspiring you
💫 say no more and focus on the yes’s that you really mean
💫 give more in the little everyday meaningful ways
💫 be brave enough to ask for what you want and need no matter the outcome
💫 believe in yourself the way those around you believe in you
💫 focus on the positive more and not the negative

So the moments like this one in this photo? It makes all the sleepless nights, brain fog, questioning my direction, hurried days, and scaling back worth it.

I couldn’t see it along the way necessarily in the moments of tears, getting up for the 4th time during the night, the soothing of colds/ear infections/viruses, or the constant questioning if I’m doing it all right. But now, as I reflect on the year as a whole (funny how perspective can help), I’ve cleaned house. I have clients I love. I made more (shocked me, too!), worked way less. And, have a babe that loves adventures with her mama and gets to see me throughout the week. I’d say I somehow did it right. Even if it was hard to see along the way.

Happy holidays to you! What makes you happiest? What are you celebrating at the close of this year?

This year has been wild. My behind-the-scenes str

This year has been wild.

My behind-the-scenes struggle has been real. Finding the spunk and spark to run and grow a business while pushing through the sleep deprivation of having a baby is a huge challenge. I chose to be honest with my clients this year. To let them know that while having a baby is a tremendous blessing, I was also struggling to find the right fit for my schedule and my brain power.

I saved every ounce of reserve energy and passion for my active clients this year. I set major boundaries. I said no a lot. I scaled back a huge portion of my business. I let go of clients that didn’t energize me. I tried on new offerings and I was honest when some of them didn’t go quite how I intended. I still wasn’t enough for some people and that’s ok. I feel we found a way to get their deepest needs and desires met.

Integrity and intuition are important to me. I honored both this year in how I ran my business. I leaned into my team a ton and they stepped up to the plate big time.

I’ve felt this nudge all year that more is coming. Something different. Something bigger.

My action-taker wants to leap at it and get it figured out and done. My quieter side keeps reminding me it’s a process. To be patient. That it’s all unfolding. My resistance to getting quiet is softening. My inner voice is saying “almost” instead of “just wait.”

I’m stepping into this new year honoring my inner knowing. Trusting the timing. Trusting there IS time. Knowing that when the picture becomes clear, the timing will be right.

It’s forming, slowly. And I know it will be more beautiful than I can see now. It always is.

There is still momentum even if it’s slow progress. Even if your self care comes first. Even if you can’t see the full path yet. Each step forward creates momentum. Trust those nudges. Focus on the parts that make you feel alive and excited. Gift yourself time to explore them. There is time.

Here we go @glennondoyle 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Already writing the most beautiful stories my mind can conjure about about life. Thank you in advance! 💫

Business owners carry a lot of responsibility to have it ALL figured out ALL the time.

*Peeks behind the curtain at the wizard* Sometimes it's just a tangle of ideas back here.

The good news is ... YOU'RE HUMAN!

There is nothing wrong with getting it wrong sometimes. We learn through our mistakes and missteps! This is where the magic is! I promise.

Or, not being sure what to do next. This is an invitation to get quiet (stop avoiding it!) and listen closely to what your soul is calling you to do.

Or, not making as much as the next person (who may not be making that much as you think they are after all the ads, contractors, and experts they've hired).

Or, marketing differently than the "experts" tell you to. *News flash* There are plenty of ways to make money and get in front of your ideal audience that don't involve social media.

Or, wanting to reinvent a bit. We're not all creatures of habit and as you evolve and change, so will your business. I'd be willing to bet, though, that the foundation of what you want to do will stay the same. It's just how you do it that will be different!

Just want you to know that if you don't feel like you fit in this business world, you're not alone. And you probably fit just perfectly. You're just comparing to the 5-star stories people publish. We're all human behind the curtain ;)

Soul mates and heartbreak. It's been a tough few

Soul mates and heartbreak.

It's been a tough few months around here as I watched my best friend of almost 17 years decline. Slowly at first and then faster. I knew our days were coming to a close and I agonized over when the right time was.

Tippy was way more than a pet. Far more than just a dog. During the majority of my years living alone, she and my cat were my companions. Tippy only knew love. In fact, she didn't do negative emotions. When I was heartbroken and crying from some guy, or disappointed and struggling in business, or feeling self-doubt, she wouldn't come near me. Nothing less than happy, joyful, and stepping into my complete self was worthy of her attention. I loved her for it. She was a great emotional gauge. Full of adventure. Only twice met a person she didn't like in her whole life. Always excited to see water bottles, a backpack, and a tent. After our weekend adventures, we would ride home and she would sit on the center console beside me exhausted, and tuck her head behind my shoulder as I drove us home.

Even after I had my daughter, she would follow me closely but give me space. Then, when the baby was sleeping, she would hop up on the couch and snuggle with me. Always there, watching, patiently waiting for her turn for cuddles.

As my heart and my mind fought to make this decision, my sister sent me an article that posed the question, 'what are you waiting for?' It outlined the hard facts of this type of decision ... waiting for x number of days of no eating, or so much pain, or an accident. When you know the next step is the ultimately horrible unpleasant one, maybe you choose a decision of love.

And so, last Tuesday, knowing our next steps would be the hardest in our journey, and the hardest on Tippy, we said our goodbyes. I cried as she fell asleep peacefully in my arms as I whispered all the things I told her everyday about how much I loved her.

And, so, now I wonder what a world would look like through Tippy's eyes. Where we all step fully into our own gifts. Love ourselves. Didn't settle for less than love, joy, and happiness. What can you shift this coming year to honor your soul? I'll be doing that to honor Tippy.

Unpopular opinion.

I’m not living this life looking for riches and fame. There’s a lot of responsibility that comes with that level of visibility.

I love my life and I want to live more of it.

My goal is to find success, comfort, and respect in my industry to support my life.

I love the close, comfortable nature of my relationships with my clients. I like the flexibility to change it up.

No shade if you’re looking for rich and famous. That’s awesome. Just not my goal. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What about you?

So many of you are reaching out because:
😩you (and your schedules) are overwhelmed and exhausted with pay-by-the-hour clients. *that's not the part I love ... it pains me to hear you feeling overwhelmed*

🤪You're telling me how hard it is to make sense of what you’re offering anymore because so many people need help and you don’t have a clear path for them.
- And yet - you LOVE what you do! *that is SO clear*

🕖You need more time in your schedule so *you* can have some time off.

💓You're craving deeper connections with your clients to really be able to move them forward.

And I *love* this growing season in business even though it's uncomfortable. You're about to step into deeper work, longer-term clients, and

Here's the part I love about our work together. We can:

Dun Dun Dun ... the endless scroll. You know the one. Where you don't even realize your finger is scrolling and your eyes have glazed over while your mind races.

Why do you stop the scroll? Because something catches your attention. Usually, that something has big personality or a bold statement. Don’t be afraid to show who you are on your social feeds, your website, and your marketing! Remember: prospects don't know you yet. Give them a taste of who you are. Like attracts like so if you want to pull in totally aligned clients, let your interests, musings, and humor shine.

Ever noticed how magnetized you are to the people

Ever noticed how magnetized you are to the people who tell their story? They keep it real, they talk about the raw emotions. They aren't scared of the truths that presented themselves in their struggle.

An ultimate unravel happens when you begin to tug on the end of that string that has laced up your fears and the whole mess of you unravels and tumbles out into the open. Hurt, angry, hopeful, scared, uncertain … it’s all there. It’s a really beautiful thing.
How can I say that spilling your emotions out into the open can be a beautiful thing?

Because, to me, being real is the most beautiful thing of all. Once you let it all spill out, you are finally free to take a long hard look at it. And confront it. What the heck is causing such pain in your life that you wanted to hide? What’s still working? What can you leave behind? *this is the secret to growth*

If you could run your business from anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

It's the entrepreneur's dream, right? Work from ANYWHERE.

Frankly, I don't want to take my computer to a hot, sandy beach. I can't see the screen and ... I hate sand.

But the mountains? Now that I can get behind! Take me to a new national park every month. Let me work 4 hours a day, let me hike to my heart's content. Mmmm, that would be heaven.

I took a month-long sabbatical several years ago. I traveled through Colorado with some friends. I worked a few hours each morning from my friend's RV. I slept in a tent every night. I hiked for hours every day. I watched the stars and ate s'mores every night. My friends and I drove up to the highest peaks and grabbed our sleeping bags and counted shooting stars for hours always saying, "ooh, it's time to go to bed ... but just one more!!!"

I've never felt so grounded and clear-headed. When my daughter is old enough, I will definitely be doing that again!!

What about you? If you could work from anywhere, where would it be and why?

Years ago, I began to wonder … ⠀
⠀
What happens when you finally surrender? ⠀
⠀
When you stop fighting yourself? ⠀
⠀
When you hit pause on all the reasons that you *don’t* deserve it yet? ⠀
⠀
When you finally allow life give you *all the good stuff* it possibly can. ⠀
⠀
All the stuff that is waiting just beyond the line of what you perceive is your upper limit. And you stop wondering or worrying about how it’s going to get here and who might deliver it. Better yet, you stop trying to *control* how it’s all going to happen. ⠀
⠀
Instead, you simply allow. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be loved. ⠀
✨To be unapologetically happy. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be as successful as you can dream up. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be safe. ⠀
✨To be supported. ⠀
✨To go after that dream you put on the back burner. ⠀
✨To work with who you want to work with. ⠀
✨To do the work you really love to do. ⠀
✨You allow opportunities to come into life ... and you actually take them. ⠀
⠀
Even though you don’t know the potential they hold yet. Gasp! ⠀
⠀
What would happen if even just for this week, you believed you could have it all? ⠀
⠀
