Here’s the hard truth - it's actually not the other person that's making your work difficult. We can’t control other people’s behavior. What we can do is control our experience of that person.

Last week I was on a Zoom call listening to women spew limiting belief after limiting belief. As a mindset coach, my heart broke. You’ll never believe what this woman was thinking! A coach hears the narrative behind the words coming out of your mouth and helps you manage your mindset. What that means to you is having a trained professional pinpoint the thought(s) keeping you stuck.

friend, you’re allowed to change your mind. A past dream doesn't have to dictate your choice today. It’s never too late. Whether it’s the dress you’re wearing on your wedding day or how you define a colorful life, make sure your choices are a reflection of YOU.

Rubber plant - 0. Milo - 1. 🤦‍♀️ I was a plant mom long before a dog mom. Milo is Patrick’s dog that I’ve adopted. However, he’s specifically “Patrick’s dog” when he’s bad. You get it, right?! 

Last week, my low fuel light came on. Keep reading for photographic evidence and to learn what happened when I ignored the light over and over again. My father would be appalled; my mechanic too!

Do you have a KitchenAid stand mixer? I got a new one for Christmas, and it comes with several attachments. I’ve seen them before but never know which one to use when.  When you have new tools you aren't sure how to use, do you choose option A, B, or C?

I love to read. From the time I was little, I could be found with a book in my hand. Then why was it a problem when I set out to read 100 books in 1 year?

The most important conversation you'll have all day is the one happening inside your own head. It's the key to making your vision stick. You have to believe in what's possible for you before you ever see the results.

While you don’t see a plant’s growth on the outside during winter, it's happening inside and underground as the roots grow deeper. Like a plant, winter is necessary for your growth.

Have you ever gone somewhere you’ve never been before? It's easy to assume you know the way.

You had every intention of going one place but then ended up in a completely different spot.  

Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you experiencing good discomfort or bad discomfort? Keep reading to learn the difference and how to move forward regardless.

It’s easy to forget about the abundance of people, things, ideas + resources, both tangible and intangible, not within your direct line of sight. But Charlie Brown got it right.

Would you say you’re an optimistic person when it comes to your future? If you’re reading this blog, there’s a good chance you’re nodding your head “yes” right now. Let me phrase it a different way and see if you feel the same.

Gratitude goes further when you get specific. Give these 3 sentences a try.

Do you ever have those days where it seems like everything that can go wrong does? Those are the times when you can really experience the life-changing power of gratitude.

My monkey moment. It’s the day my life changed. 🐒 I was at a low point in my life. To the world, I had it all together. Yet, I was slowly crumbling inside. I was overworked, overwhelmed and at a loss for how to change. Maybe you feel this way? Bali changed that. But how did I get to Bali?

Yesterday morning, I awoke to silence. Glorious, beautiful silence. I made my way to the coffee maker, brewed an extra large cup of joe, grabbed my journal, and headed to the front porch. Whenever that silence was promptly cut short, I found myself asking this hard question.

As long as I can remember, I’ve been a “fixer.” Not in the illegal, Ray Donovan way, but in the enneagram 2, always a helper way. During my time studying life coaching with Martha Beck, I learned about Karpman’s Drama Triangle and realized that my helping was actually harming. So why, then, did I recently step into the rescuer role when I knew better?

As we continue our series on heart-centered relationships, this week we’re focusing on those we surrounded ourselves with, our besties. It is often said you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Who is that for you? (If your answer included a toddler, keep reading!)
