The Power of a Positive Recession Mindset
Regardless of what you think about the economy, are you doing things today that align with your goals, irrespective of what is happening outside your business?

Shifting Intensities
When we can coast at a slower intensity, we can also notice and appreciate all the things we have created. So many of my dear clients create amazing things at work or in their businesses and do not take time to bask in all that they have created. They are on to the next thing, missing opportunities to sit and celebrate.

Approach Worst-case Scenarios Differently
The next time you face uncertainty and your brain goes straight to worry, I invite you to let that happen the intentionally talk it out with yourself or someone you care about a better and best-case scenario.

Freeing All Children, Inside & Out
As a high performer a few years ago, I would have never imagined taking time off in the middle of the week! I used to stress over not having Wi-Fi and missing a client’s call or an email, but all those buffers, caused me to miss the small stuff (OK, well, the beautiful scenery isn't small stuff, but you get the idea). This experience reminded me of the importance of being present in the NOW.

One of the Most Powerful Questions
One of the most powerful questions I ask my clients is, “What are you making this mean?” The reason it's so powerful is that it forces your brain to stop and realize it's an interpretation your brain is coming up with, usually around a situation that's upsetting you.
