One-Minute Mindset Reset to Stress Less & Trust More

When we’re presented with a challenge, the hardest part is not knowing what’s going to happen or how it’s all going to work out. We can’t see the future.Or if the dots are going to connect. When this happens, our mind goes into overdrive. —am I going to be okay?—is that sale going to come through?—will I have to go back to my dreadful, soul-sucking job? But here’s the thing: Over the eight years that I’ve been an entrepreneur, I’ve found that the dots ALWAYS connect. Miracles happen.Support rushes in.I figure it out. And so what I’ve realized is that all of that internal struggle—the crippling fear, anxiety, panic, worry,...

What If Awareness is Actually Keeping You Stuck?

Reinvent

Awareness is awesome. Until it isn’t enough. You can rattle off your resistance and describe every inch of how you hold yourself back. You can paint a picture of your patterns and how they keep you stuck. Yet, for how well you see your shadow, you don’t know how to move beyond it to create what feels impossible. You’re stuck IN IT. And all you want is to be free of it. That’s because awareness doesn’t cut it. You have to USE IT. When you’re aware of how you’re blocked, you’re not actually blocked—you’re choosing to be. Where it looks like you have a problem, what if there’s simply a...

The Art of Getting Unstuck: Coming Home to Who You Want to Be

Explore, Reinvent

I carefully lowered myself into a small, shallow pool. It was worn in the smooth rock that spread over the Earth like butter. The water was warm and soft on my skin. Carefully lying back, I found the perfect nook to rest my head in. I took a deep breath and let my hands float to the surface of the water. Before me, sweeping blue mountains rose into rounded peaks. A river rushed forward, bubbling it’s way around boulders and rocks that dotted the bank. The air was pure and fresh with a hint of pine floating off the forest that flanked each side of the river. I sunk deep...

What It Means to Love Your Darkness & Why Your Success Depends On It

Reinvent

I’m inflexible and rigid. An emotional roller coaster. I talk way more than I listen to the ones closest to me. I forget things easily. I can be so focused on what’s going on in my head that I completely miss whole parts of a conversation with Jon. I don’t have sustainable energy. I’m typically late for anything that requires my physical presence. And you know what? I love all of it. I love all of me. But it hasn’t always been like this. There’s a monstrous epidemic in our culture where we have become obsessed with our personal shortcomings; with all of the things we don’t like about ourselves....

5 Ways to Trust More & Worry Less in 2017

Create

As I look out onto the forest before me, a thin mist hangs in the air and lichen clings to the damp, dark trees—their tiny branches like veins pressed against the gray sky. Raw, cold, and wet, the weather today feels cleansing. Like it’s washing away any stale, lingering heaviness from the last week of 2016 and inviting in its place, a new year with new desires to manifest. Have you taken time to set new intentions & goals for 2017? Are you feeling overwhelmed, but also excited by the possibilities? Are you up for the challenge of expansion? With each new year comes the strong desire to be better,...

How to Move Through Disappointment with Grace & Ease

Reinvent

Disappointment is cruel. It steals your presence. And litters your mind with fear. It’s that sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach. That heaviness in your heart. It’s enough to knock you off your feet sometimes. And doubt your ability to manifest and make waves in the world. As I’m nestled in front of the fire on this brisk winter day, I’m dwelling on disappointment. It’s happened for me this week. It’s happened for my community. It’s one of those things that happens for all of us. But as I stare into the flames, licking the cracked white ash of the wood, it becomes so clear that despite the...

The Art of Receptivity: How to Do Less While Inviting in More Success

Create, Reinvent

“Life is a dance between making it happen & letting it happen.” – Arianna Huffington The sun is bright. The sky is pale blue and cloudless. I’m tapping away at my laptop keys outside of a local Starbucks, completely grounded and filled to the brim with an appreciative awe. If I look around at my life, everything I’ve been dreaming of is taking physical form. I’ve risen it from the ground, like Queen Elsa and her magnificent castle of ice. I feel the power in my finger tips. And I’m leaning into this power more than I ever have before, without driving myself into the ground; without working myself to...

Plagued by Overwhelm? How it Serves You & How to Get Rid Of It!

Create, Reinvent

Let’s talk overwhelm. I know it’s an issue because it’s popped up countless times in my coaching sessions recently. What I’m hearing is this: “I just feel so overwhelmed. I’m unclear as to where I’m going. I’m so confused and it’s all too much. I know I need to take action, but I don’t do it because I’m paralyzed.” Overwhelm is a typical reaction as you forge a new path, doing something you’ve never done before. When you feel the call to go BIGGER in your life, to step it up, and to chase down huge goals and dreams, overwhelm occurs… and completely stops you in your tracks. You: 0...

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn If you’re ready to take the leap towards your biggest dreams and desires or maybe you’re just ready to manifest more success in pursuit of them—you need to take stock of what & who you’re surrounding yourself with. Is your environment conducive to the direction you want to go? Are your relationships supportive? Do you have access to people who are where you want to be? Community is crucial. If you want to rise, you have to surround yourself with people who also want to rise + have already risen. Why? Like Jim...

Is the Universe Testing You? How to Stand in Your Unfuckwithable-ness When a Curveball Comes Your Way

Reinvent

There will always be curveballs. There will always be obstacles. There will always be people who doubt you and try to tear you down. The tricky part of living your truth and impacting the world with your light is that there will always be tests along the way. If the path were easy, everyone would be doing it. So if there are always tests along the way, it’s not so much the tests that we need to focus on, but rather on the way we cope with them. “Being on a spiritual path is to commit to daily mental reconditioning.” – Gabby Bernstein So how can we cope with the tests?...
