I'm so inspired!

Hey Reader, I’ve got to tell you about my client "Shirley" (name changed for privacy"—because her story gives me full-body chills. Shirley hired me because she was having panic attacks just thinking about getting in a car or on a plane. Anxiety had such a grip on her life that even the idea of travel would send her spiraling. She felt like a prisoner to her fear. But Shirley was done living like that. So we started working together. I taught her the tools I use with all my clients—real,...

Hey Reader, Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, “Did they even hear me?”Or maybe it’s more subtle—like shrinking your voice or second-guessing what you said because someone didn’t quite “get” you. If you’re nodding along, I recorded this week’s podcast just for you. In this episode, I’m sharing a really personal story that perfectly illustrates what it feels like to be unseen and unheard, especially when you’re neurodivergent or just wired a little differently.We’re...

Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like no one really gets you? Like you’re constantly giving but not receiving? Like you’re exhausted from trying to meet everyone else’s needs while yours are left on the back burner? If that’s you, I want you to know—you’re not alone. And more importantly, there’s nothing wrong with you. The truth is, many of us (especially sensitive and neurodivergent women) have been taught to mask our needs, to be “easygoing,” to go with the flow—even when we’re drowning...

Hey Reader, I bet you didn't know that confidence is a human need. It's not just something that's "nice to have", it's something we need to feel emotions like joy and fulfillment. But here’s the thing—confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t. It’s not a switch you flip once and never worry about again. It’s a practice. And if you’ve ever wondered why you can feel unstoppable one day and completely unsure the next, it’s because confidence is built, not found. Tomorrow, I’m teaching...

Hey Reader, Do you ever wonder where the line is between thinking just enough and thinking too much? How do you know when it’s too much? Is it when the anxiety hits? Is it when you can’t sleep at night? Or maybe when you can’t stop talking about it? Here’s the thing: I don’t think calling yourself an overthinker is helping. In fact, I’d argue it’s keeping you stuck. When you label yourself as an overthinker, it’s like giving your brain a license to do more of it. And then you try to fix it by...

Hey Reader, I was sitting in a meeting with my son’s high school basketball coach last night, talking about how he could improve and get more time on the court during games. The coach said something that stuck with me: “He needs to start showing that he wants to be the one with the ball.” What he meant was this: My son needed to want the ball more than he was afraid of failing. He needed to take the shot, even if he might miss. Guard the guy, even if he’s twice his size. Show up, try hard,...

Hey Reader, You know, one thing that I have seen is that a lot of us have been sold a lie. We are told if we work hard and do a good job, that we will be rewarded in life. And sometimes that is true. But a lot of the time, we are working and we don’t know what we are working towards. And it shows because we are so unhappy. Sometimes it can feel that we are just on a one-way road to the end of life and that we should just expect the last half of life to be the worse half. But I don’t believe...

Hey Reader, Can a Workshop Truly Change Your Life?In a word? Yes. The first time I attended a Tony Robbins seminar, I had no idea what to expect. But wow—I've never felt so lit up and inspired. I left with big plans and endless motivation. Then… life happened. Slowly, that fire dimmed. The changes I was so excited to make? They faded into the background. Sound familiar? Here’s what I learned: The key to real, lasting transformation isn’t just inspiration—it’s implementation. You might already...
