Hi Reader! This weekend, one of my clients brought me to a conference with her team. I got to learn, soak up the room, and be around people doing BIG things. Groundbreaking for the profession. I also got to support her, so we could find ways to get her better results too! When you surround yourself with the right people, things happen. When a CEO is winning and shares that with her team, everybody wins. More money coming into your practice or business means more VALUE for your community. It...

Good morning Reader! Summer's officially done (this is the first weekend we've been home since mid-July 😳), school's back in session, and my youngest started 4K this past week. He's never been away from anyone but family before, sooo... drop-off has been rough. For him, and for me too. There may have been a few tears shed on both sides. Here's to hoping next week is much better. 🤞🏼 So... needless to say, I feel a little behind on what I think I "should" be doing. But I'm at ease about it,...

Happy Friday Reader! I've had the same conversation about six times these past couple of weeks. With clients, with people close to me, with myself. Fear. One of my clients said it flat out: making that first invitation, sending that email, that DM... It's not the words that are hard; it's her head, her mindset. She just needs to push send. Someone close to me is ready to start her own thing, and the only thing in her way is putting herself out there. So a few mornings this week, I sent her...

Reader, So, if you read my last email, you may remember how I said we were taking a mini vacay, and the boys wanted to try out tent camping... Well, here's how that went. Night one, it poured. And somewhere between "settling in" and "questioning our life choices," we discovered both tents had holes in them. Did we check that beforehand? We did not. So night two, we upgraded ourselves to a hotel room until our cabin opened up. Then, day two of the actual vacation, we hit something with the...

Reader, I wanted new brand photos. Not just the smiling-at-the-camera kind — action shots, lifestyle, some abstract stuff mixed in so I had photos for social, blogs, website, etc. My plan was simple: hire a professional. My husband had a different plan. He used to do photography on the side, and still does a few things here and there, so he offered to take them. "You don't have to pay anyone," he said. "I can do it." I obliged, because he is good at it! But.... Here's the thing, though. I...

Reader, Today is International Self-Care Day, and I wanted to take a minute to speak directly to the practitioners and all the women who spend so much of their time caring for everyone else. You spend your days helping people feel better, have more energy, and find answers they've never gotten before... And I know personally how much of a difference that care can make in someone's life! As a business owner and a mom of four, it is really easy for me to put my own needs at the bottom of the...

Reader, Summer mornings are my favorite part of the day. Coffee, journaling, and a little work on the deck before the kids wake up. Slow and quiet, exactly how I like it. But this morning, my littlest man woke up screaming because he couldn't find me, and he thought I'd left him. Which, okay, there's a backstory...so I understand. Last summer, we were all outside doing our own thing when my mother-in-law called and told us the boat lift had broken, and the boat had dropped into the water. So,...

Reader,There's a country festival near us that I used to go to every single year when I was younger, no kids, definitely not thinking about anyone's bedtime. This year, the boys’ favorite artist, Kane Brown, was there, so we decided to surprise the kids with tickets to the show. Which meant first convincing myself this was actually a place for kids. (Another story for another day. Let's just say a lot has changed in twenty years. Also, so many chairs…Who sits down at a concert? I want names.)...
