I had planned to write a different blog today. But then something came up for me that I needed to share -- and I think you'll resonate with it as well. It's about the anxiety of this moment -- and how it creeps up on me and sometimes smacks me right over the head out of nowhere. Like Monday night…

Last fall I made a decision I totally regretted - and that decision impacted me in a big way. After it happened, my inner critic swooped in IMMEDIATELY, chastising me by saying: How could you have made this decision? You should have known better than to do this! Here is the mindset flip that helped me to forgive myself, learn, and move on.

You're probably burned out right now. I don't know how you couldn't be feeling it at least a little - the last year and a half has been EXHAUSTING. And, let's face it, you were probably burned out before 2020. Now it's at a whole other level. This is why I decided to create this three part video series on the Three Steps To Recover From Burnout.

In the last week I've spoken with multiple women who've told me they are exhausted, overwhelmed, and feel like they have NOTHING left in their bucket. I've thought a lot about this lately. About burnout and exhaustion and disconnection from ourselves. Here is the conclusion I’ve reached about the cure to burnout.

I purposefully decided to slow down and work less this summer, but when I actually started to do it - it was WEIRD. Old rules showed up telling me to work harder and be more productive. Then, on the morning of June 24, I had a realization that has changed everything for me - and will help you to let go of should and supposed-to as well.

I want to tell you a story that will help you stop feeling guilty for doing things for you. You know, just in case that's a challenge for you 🙂Last fall, a woman made a pitch to her company to pay for coaching from me. They said no - so she said no. Then, four months later she reached back out to me. Here’s what happened next.

On Sunday I put the finishing touches on my patio -- hanging twinkly lights. While I was hanging them, a neighbor stopped by and asked if I was having a party. My response? "No - just me!" The only reason for these lights was joy. MY joy.

I used to be the classic over-doer. I over-did EVERYTHING. School, work, exercise - even fun! And then I realized I didn't want to keep living that way. So I dug in. And I let go. Here are the top three things that are different TODAY from when I was living in constant over-doer, proving mode.

Yesterday I woke up feeling like my legs were made of lead weights adhered to the mattress. I'm tired. But I'm not burned out. Not yet. And I don't want to be. So this year, in 2021, I'm going to take a breath. I have no big, audacious goals for the year. Not one.
