In the Middle of the Night
Ever found yourself wide awake at 3 AM, gripped by anxiety and second-guessing everything? Middle of the night mind is real—fueled by the brain’s fear center, it makes small concerns feel urgent and overwhelming. In this article, I share my own 3 AM vulnerability hangover, how I’ve learned to recognize when not to trust my thinking, and the practice of shifting from fear-based reactions to love-based responses. The more we attune to presence, the easier it becomes to see through the “monster filter” of fear and return to alignment—often resulting in peace. Read more now...
Why Pushing & Over-Giving Don’t Work with Clients (And What Does)
As coaches, it’s easy to get caught up in our clients’ progress—wanting more for them, pushing them forward, or even questioning our own effectiveness when they don’t move as expected. But the truth is, your clients are always doing their best. And so are you. The more you unlink your self-worth from their results, the freer you’ll be to trust their process—and your own. When we shift from strategy to wisdom, we open the door to greater presence, possibility, and compassion in our coaching (and in ourselves). Read more…
Everything I Knew About Health Was Wrong
For years, I believed the key to health was less food, more exercise, and a success barometer based on the scale. But when my body started signaling distress through migraines, worsening period symptoms, and eventually a thyroid nodule, I had to reconsider everything I thought I knew. My healing journey led me to a radically different approach—one centered on nourishment, metabolism, and strength. Along the way, my friend and women’s health expert, Holly Perkins, reinforced what I was discovering: true well-being isn’t about deprivation, but about fueling and supporting the body in a way that actually works. In this piece, I share my journey and invite you to explore Holly’s free 3-day program, Mastering Your Body Composition, to help you redefine health on your own terms. Read more now...

When Progress Looks Like Failure
Success isn’t always what it seems. In both health and business, we often rely on narrow metrics—like the scale or income—to measure progress.

This post explores how redefining success can transform the way you approach your coaching business—and your life. Read more…
Wanting vs. Having
