Taking Drastic Measures
When you take drastic measures, you get drastic results. It’s time to stop letting old beliefs, habits and opinions (aka dead weight) keep you from living your fullest, lushest life.
The Only Constant is Change
Change is scary. Or at least that’s the narrative I’ve been telling myself lately. But who said that? And is it true? Getting where you want to go requires you to evolve.
Stop Tripping Over Your Laces
I tripped over my shoelaces in the middle of recess. Now, I can tie shoes in my sleep. You probably can as well. You practice and practice until you just do it so naturally you no longer have to consciously think about doing it. It becomes a part of your DNA.

Controlling Other People.
Here’s the hard truth - it's actually not the other person that's making your work difficult. 🤯 Yep, I said that. Think about it for a moment.

Breaking Down Limiting Beliefs.
Last week I was on a Zoom call listening to women spew limiting belief after limiting belief. As a mindset coach, my heart broke. You’ll never believe what this woman was thinking! A coach hears the narrative behind the words coming out of your mouth and helps you manage your mindset. What that means to you is having a trained professional pinpoint the thought(s) keeping you stuck.
The Great Wedding Dress Debacle.
friend, you’re allowed to change your mind. A past dream doesn't have to dictate your choice today. It’s never too late. Whether it’s the dress you’re wearing on your wedding day or how you define a colorful life, make sure your choices are a reflection of YOU.
Supporting New Growth.
Rubber plant - 0. Milo - 1. 🤦♀️ I was a plant mom long before a dog mom. Milo is Patrick’s dog that I’ve adopted. However, he’s specifically “Patrick’s dog” when he’s bad. You get it, right?!
Why My Father Would Be Appalled.
Last week, my low fuel light came on. Keep reading for photographic evidence and to learn what happened when I ignored the light over and over again. My father would be appalled; my mechanic too!
Using Your KitchenAid.
Do you have a KitchenAid stand mixer? I got a new one for Christmas, and it comes with several attachments. I’ve seen them before but never know which one to use when. When you have new tools you aren't sure how to use, do you choose option A, B, or C?
Why Reading 100 Books Was a Problem.
I love to read. From the time I was little, I could be found with a book in my hand. Then why was it a problem when I set out to read 100 books in 1 year?
Henry Ford Got It Right.
The most important conversation you'll have all day is the one happening inside your own head. It's the key to making your vision stick. You have to believe in what's possible for you before you ever see the results.
Winter Works in Your Favor.
While you don’t see a plant’s growth on the outside during winter, it's happening inside and underground as the roots grow deeper. Like a plant, winter is necessary for your growth.
