There’s about to be a lot of noise online about New Year’s resolutions, goal setting, etc. We see it every year. The gym is packed with tons of new faces, everyone is doing a cleanse or dry January, or making huge declarations about their 2023 goals and then two weeks later… most of them have […]

Here’s what I’m doing instead of New Year’s resolutions

Being featured on Influence Digest as one of the top 15 coaches in Santa Rosa in 2022 was both an honor, and a surprise!  Someone messaged me on LinkedIn saying congrats on the feature and I had no idea what they were even talking about until I googled it lol.  So I reached out to […]

Influence Digest: Top 15 Coaches in Santa Rosa

After a 12 hour direct flight from Sweden back to SF, Chris and I crashed into bed at 8pm last night. When I woke up at 5am this morning (oh hey, jetlag!) I was reflecting on my biggest takeaways from our month long trip in Europe (Spain and Sweden). The biggest one was how much […]

Why I sucked at boundaries last month

Our group was huddled together staring at the physical challenge in front of us. We argued and brainstormed and tried different strategies. Sometimes we’d succeed. Most often we’d fail. And when we failed, there was always a calm and whimsical voice that responded “begin again”. No judgement. No drama. Just a reminder to start over. […]

Begin again

Think about some of your goals and dreams. Are there any of them that truly inspire you, but you just aren’t making progress or seeing results? If so, ask yourself this: Are you actually putting in the work? This is one of the areas where I see people get stuck: not putting in the work. […]

Putting in the work and doing the thing

Last night I started writing this post in the notes app on my iPhone, while laying awkwardly on my side in bed. It was almost midnight and I should’ve been sleeping because I was getting up early today to work out. But, instead I had been furiously typing away on my phone, attempting to capture […]

Stepping into the arena

Sometimes I feel more like a detective than a coach. A master of curiosity. When I partner with a client, we work together looking for clues. Every clue provides us with more information, which then moves us closer to the next clue. I’m not the expert on their lives. They are. And yet, most of […]

Replacing judgment with curiosity

The dreaded question. Deer in headlights was about all I could muster in response throughout school and well into my twenties. How was one supposed to know? I liked a lot of things. Too many things. In fact, the endless possibilities and “you can be whatever you want to be” urgings of my generation’s supporters […]

What do you want to be when you grow up?

August 24, 2014: I’ve made a few updates to this blog post, which was originally published in 2015, to reflect how I’m doing things differently now. People often ask me which tools I use to run my location independent business. This is something I TOTALLY geek out on, so I love sharing useful resources. In […]

Tools I use to run my online business

As I posted on Facebook recently, I’M BRINGIN’ SEXY BACK! This is what I mean by sexy: I want you to love and accept your body. I want you to love and accept your whole damn self, actually. When you’re feeling sexy (whatever that means to you) you are more powerful, more present, and more […]
