Making Courage Out Of Fear
July 25, 2018 05:00 - 27 minutes - 31.3 MBIt’s a Monday morning. I’ve been up since 4 am feeling stuck. Sitting in one of the scariest emotions ever - FEAR. I’m scared of my own self-induced changes - and there’s been A LOT of them. I’m scared of having them all fail. And if you read my post, I wanna see you be brave, you’ll see I’m also afraid of them succeeding. I’ve had a lot of time to think about fear.

To celebrate my 9 year anniversary, I've dumped 9 years worth of entrepreneurial experience into a 1-hour podcast episode. (It was NOT easy and I talk really fast - so beware.) Grab a notebook and your favorite pen - and feel free to pause as often as you need. I didn't structure it like a talk, so it's not a pretty account - it's my raw, real memory of everything I remember lear...
You can’t schedule creativity.
March 21, 2018 06:00 - 25 minutes - 29.1 MB“You can’t schedule creativity.” I said this in a recent podcast episode. It's a phrase that's been haunting me lately. More like, forever. Determination means nothing if you’re not in the right mindset. (I know, because I'm a REALLY determined woman.) You can’t force the creative process. You can't sit down and will it into being. You will end up getting up to do the laundry or clean floors before it shows up. And it will show up when you least expect it. Read the FULL blog post and get...

I LOVE love.
February 14, 2018 07:00 - 20 minutes - 24 MBValentine's Day has been a REALLY hard day for me for the last 14 years. And I have a good reason why. But this year, it's changing. And it's because of something a woman said to me and my guy at a tea shop in DC when we first got together. It made me realize I had a decision to make - and that decision was not something based on anyone else. It was 100% my decision and no one else could change my mind. Whether you love Valentine's Day or think it's just another Hallmark holiday, this epi...
The Beauty of Imperfection
February 07, 2018 07:00 - 21 minutes - 24.6 MBHow often do we find ourselves criticizing ourselves and/or work? Even to the point that we never share it with anyone without filtering it?

I recently went to Isla Mujeres on a personal development trip with 11 other ladies. We created visions for our lives, worked on big ideas, created steps to ...

What Are YOUR Core Values?
January 17, 2018 07:00 - 43 minutes - 60 MBIf I asked everyone at your office your core values, could they recite them? Do you have them for yourself? Do you know what core values are?

You have a story you need to share.
August 23, 2017 04:00 - 11 minutes - 15.3 MBEach of us has a story. A lot of us just think that our story is insignificant. I’m here to let you know you couldn’t be more wrong.

I saw that on a billboard on my way to the tattoo artist in Bali. I hadn’t been sure what to get on my arm, but I was literally given a sign that this should be the phrase. Not only did Bali shake up my physical self – #alltheyoga – it shook up my mindset. I came back from my trip feeling invigorated, fresh and ready for a big, big change.
