Coming clean
Every time I find some excuse not to do the thing, I am just showing that I don’t actually fully trust myself. Every time I show up and put in the work, the universe nudges me along toward what I most want for myself.

Insights on inner transformation and outer contribution from my coaching practice.
Lower the bar
Feeling successful has an alluring, habit-forming quality. You will naturally be drawn to do whatever makes you feel successful and proud of yourself.
Pain is not the enemy
It’s not actually our pain that stands in our way. It’s our wounds that hinder us. It’s our wounds that need to be healed. Our pain is simply the loyal messenger that will keep delivering its message until it is heeded.

Harnessing your unique creative power
Our genius might be thought of as our unique creative power. It is creative because it brings new ideas, expressions, or behaviors into being. It is a power because it allows us to shape ourselves and the world.
