We spend a big part of our lives doing as we’re told. We’re learning from teachers, peers, books and the world. This is called social conditioning. We can’t help it. We get rewarded and punished as children. Ultimately we want to feel safe, loved and like we belong. That follows us into adulthood. This is……
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……
“Why do I keep saying yes, over-committing myself, and feeling overwhelmed as a result?” You’re wondering right now. You are, aren’t you? When was the last time you said “no” to an opportunity, ask or time-consuming project? “How do I even say no!?”, you might be wondering. Trust me, it IS possible. We don’t say……
Imagine the biggest dream you want to achieve this year.What would you say is helping it? What is hindering it? Turning ideas into action isn’t easy. Life is full of fences, speed bumps, detours, and – sometimes – even barbed wire! You didn’t sign up for this – right?! You know those distractions that keep you……
As creative, multi-talented, curious, ambitious doers we have many interests and projects to keep track of.

In my pursuit of figuring out what a soul inspired life might look like, growing into my best, happiest and most productive self often requires using myself as a guinea pig. Today included. One of the nuts……
“It’s only too late if you don’t start now”. Wise words that I love and cherish, spoken by my idol Barbara Sher, grandmother to all scanners as she calls them us: the multi-passionate creatives, creative generalists, multipotentialites… For us especially, but for anyone else with big ideas and goals too, making sure we get to……
I get a lot of emails from people who want to partner with me or have *irresistible* offers for me. They’ve got THE app that will quadruple my productivity or the system that will boost my website traffic into the millions. Usually I dismiss those emails (because you know what… you don’t have to reply……
With the end of August in sight, I can’t help but reflect on where I am in my life and business right now. Don’t mistake the calm that emanates from my words for composure. While I might look all put together on the outside, as I’m writing these words my inner goal-crushing Amazon is frantically……
Whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for a while, I’m sure you heard the phrase “don’t work in your business, work on your business.” I always found this to be such an eye-opening perspective on what building a business actually is.
