A lot of people I know run a small biz these days – sometimes as their only source of income, but often as a hobby biz on the side. I started my biz in 2006, and it grew very organically along the way initially without the amazing social media we have at our hands today. Over the years, I’ve coached friends and clients to help them overcome the blocks stopping them from starting, or growing, their small…
I’ve never really believed in the old saying “two halves make a whole”. It never really made sense to me. Don’t two whole people make a better partnership? If you’re half a person then you’re always looking for someone else to meet your needs instead of you being able to fill your cup without external sources.

“Drifting is the decision you’re making when you don’t make a decision about where you’re heading” I heard this statement in a podcast the other day and it really hit as a truth. A lot of people are coasting/drifting through life, day by day feeling like it’s Groundhog Day, without any real sense of purpose or meaning.

Everything is out of control.” I heard this quote on a podcast recently where they were talking about the current pandemic and increased fear and anxiety globally. While of course there are things that we can control, like our own personal hygiene, there is much we cannot. So instead of joining everyone else in panicking, do…
It doesn’t matter who you are, or how successful you are – we all have shit from our past that can keep us stuck. Old, core wound shit that has led to feelings of being unlovable, unworthy, useless, stupid, not good enough. The core wound shit that has attracted people, situations and relationships into our lives that “prove” that we aren’t good enough over and over – until we do the work to heal our wounds. This stuff happens to all of us on some…
