When pushing harder isn’t the answer
In 2025, there were moments I caught myself pushing against the current.
Doing more.
Taking on more.
Moving faster.
What if December is Your Secret Advantage?
Yes, it’s December. Yes, it’s time to have fun. Dance. Laugh. Celebrate. Let the sequence fly! (Yes, I still love and wear sequence). Have amazing experiences that make unforgettable memories. But there’s something most people forget: December isn’t a pause button on your vision.
What if the fear you’re feeling isn’t a stop sign, but a signal to elevate?
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to get comfortable inside the environments that once kept us safe but no longer help us grow.
I’ve done it many times.
There were years (even recently) when I played small. I told myself I was being humble, grounded, grateful but if I’m being honest, I was afraid. I was afraid of being misunderstood, of standing out too much, of being too much.
Brighter and Brighter: Why Joy Isn’t Reserved for Later in Life
Do you ever look around at everything you’ve built the career, the family, the achievements and still feel like something’s missing? Like no matter how much you’ve accomplished, you’re running on empty, pushing harder but feeling emptier inside?
If so, you’re not alone.
It’s Okay Not to Be Okay
We are human beings, navigating life’s messy ups and downs while trying to raise families, build businesses, grow careers, and keep it all together. And here’s the real talk, life happens to every single one of us.
Money Isn’t the Problem
Okay, let’s talk about an interesting word.
A word people treat like its cursed. A word that keeps people up at night and makes them crazy!
You ready for this one?
Money. 💸
They Told Me I’d Fail. I Did It Anyway.
Most people mean well. But that doesn’t mean they know what’s right for you.
I’ve been told I’d fail more times than I can count.
When I started my staffing business in 1999 during the dot-com explosion, people thought I was crazy. “Why would you go into staffing when you could land a job with stock options?” they asked. To them, I was being reckless. To me, it was right.
Do You Think You’re Missing Clarity? It Might Be Something Else…
What if the thing you’ve been waiting for the opportunity, the breakthrough, the permission, the magical moment—isn’t what’s missing?
What if clarity isn’t the problem at all?
You might already have the coach.
The partner who supports you.
The community that believes in what you’re building.
But even with all that in place… you might still feel stuck.
Here’s Your Permission to Breathe
A few weeks ago, I found myself standing in my kitchen, staring at a to-do list that felt heavier than usual.
I had just finished hosting 20 beautiful souls for Easter dinner. Not long after, our community lost two beloved members — unexpectedly. A dear friend of mine opened up about their addiction and needed support. Another friend went through a brutal breakup and needed to lean on someone.
I hit pause. Not because I was “burnt out” or incapable… but because I was human.
You Want Fierce Confidence? Stop Waiting for Life to Calm Down
Have you ever walked through a season where everything felt heavy?
Your chest tightens before you even open your eyes.
Your shoulders ache from the invisible weight of it all.
You move through the day, but it’s like your body is dragging through molasses—heavy, tired, foggy.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You’re likely in the middle of a storm.
