Hitting that metaphorical 9-to-5 wall, Groundhog Day, running on a hamster wheel of mindless work – choose a career cliché for how you’re feeling right now. Ok, so now what? You’re ready for a more dramatic change this year, and not just something small or incremental. It’s a new decade, and the pressure of a……
There’s a difference between doing things mindlessly and doing things consciously. Have you ever gone grocery shopping and realized once you got home that you bought *some* (ahem, a lot) of unhealthy options? Aaand you forgot the apples? Being intentional about that journey is a small example of how we ignore sets of behaviours. Now……
Ruslana is a professional make-up artist and hair stylist, currently based in Rome, Italy. I met Ruslana when I was in Rome in 2015 for a branding photoshoot (my first one!) with the incredibly talented Wendy Yalom. Ruslana and I connected right away. Her positive attitude, and enthusiasm were contagious! Not to mention her incredible……
Remember when you were younger, and you did those career quizzes to find out which one was right for you? Sometimes it was consistent if you took the quiz multiple times. Other times, your options were quite varied. It was hard to choose between a lawyer and a writer, or a teacher and a diplomat……
A client recently shared they’ve been out of the workforce for 10 years and now taking a giant leap into entrepreneurship, but that it doesn’t come without a lot of fear and self-doubt. The result?

I recently reflected on why it’s important for women to stop feeling guilty for choosing ourselves. Throughout a big part of my life, that guilt (often doubled with shame, anxiety, or fear) stood in the way of what I really wanted. It kept me small. Silent. Like it does with so many other women. And……

The high standards we hold for ourselves and what we create make us (when we finally get around to it) produce some of the most wonderful, detailed and precise work. It’s true that being a perfectionist has many benefits. But……
With my upcoming Dream Bigger Course + Program it’s all about goal-setting and planning the year ahead for me right now. What I love most about this season is the promise of all the dreams that will come true, and the joy of merely thinking about them. But with that comes one of the most……
As creative, multi-talented, curious, ambitious doers we have many interests and projects to keep track of. Every day is a fresh page in our planner with different work obligations, goals to aim for and a life to take care of. But that’s not all. We also have a mission – to make a difference, change……
