    “I fit in, but I don’t belong.”

    Are you the kind of person who adapts easily to others? You can fit in and get along with almost anybody (as long as you need to–want is a different story entirely). I was working with a client today who explained that she fit into a social dynamic but didn’t feel like she belonged. I…

  • Impostor Alert!!

    Impostor Alert!!

    I’ve coached students, stay-at-home moms, doctors, coaches, lawyers, scientific researchers, computer technicians, teachers, you name it! Do you know what they all have in common? They compare themselves with others (peers, family, leaders, etc.) and feel like an impostor. Over the last week or so this has been the main topic of my coaching. I…

    The experiment results are in…and I was not ready for this outcome.

    A few weeks ago, I mentioned I was in the middle of an experiment. The time has come to fill you all in on what it was and what the results show. At the beginning of April, I deliberately blew up my comfort zone. As an introvert, homebody, and highly sensitive person (HSP), my comfort…

    I was terrified. So I did the only thing I could think of.

    Hello, my beautiful friend! Today, I want to ask you to ponder what are you hiding from…? Oftentimes I see my clients (and let’s be honest, myself too) hide. We’re afraid to be seen and heard. But we crave to be understood by others. If we’re exposed, we can be judged or rejected. For myself,…

    How I Went From a Wreck to a Badass in 90 Seconds

    Last week I attended my first ever live mastermind event. It was more incredible than I could have imagined! But I didn’t feel that way going into it… When my husband dropped me off at the airport, I was trembling and shaking with anxiety. I was going to meet friends that I had only met…

    What Is Your Insecurity Stopping You From Doing?

    As we grow up, as humans do, we unconsciously take on thoughts and beliefs that others offer up to us. When we were bullied, abused, neglected, told we’re different…we unconsciously made those things mean something about ourselves. We unknowingly create insecurities for ourselves that sounds like:● “I’m not good enough”● “I can’t do that”● “I’m…
