You don't need to go it alone. Let's sweat it out together, shall we?

Last week I took my first Zoomcation. It was a 7-day break from Zoom. Can I state the obvious? What. A. Gamechanger. I woke up Monday thrilled that “going outside” was on the menu. I capped my emailing at two hours a day and gave myself permission to go on unusual excursions that don’t typically fit into my work week. I drafted this newsletter poolside thanks to Swimply . I cooked my way through…
“So, what kind of coach are you?” I get asked this question a lot. “It depends” doesn’t seem to suffice. At networking events, my go-to is “I help people make more money.” At spiritual gatherings, “I hold space for the stuck folks.” At a recent virtual mixer, I introduced myself as “yet another darn coach.” As someone who used to wanna get her two-sentence pitch down pat, I've since given up that…
When I ran this newsletter through Claude , it told me to change the subject line, trim a few redundant phrases, and make the paragraph transitions punchier. Did I obey? Yes. Did I read the results and realize it didn’t sound like me so I had to go back and undo the edits and all of it ended up taking twice as long to finish putting this newsletter together, let alone find the end of this very…
How do you think about the money you make? I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately with people who want to make more money. But what “make more money” means seems to vary wildly depending on their money story. Take Laila. She thinks of money in terms of gross revenue – the big, impressive number before costs (reality?) show up. Her fuel is competition. She uses other people’s revenue…
TODAY IS THE DAY! The Big But Book: A Graphic Novel About the Detours That Shape Us makes its grand debut. It’s now available on Amazon, at your nearest Barnes & Noble, and if your local bookstore doesn’t carry it yet, request that they get you a copy. It’s my graphic novel about all the big, awkward “buts” that reroute our lives right when we think we’ve got the map figured out. Equal parts…
When you signed up for this newsletter, you and I had an understanding. We basically pinky-swore that I like to write, you like to read, and we’d be an adorable match made in Substack. Then I wrote a book. Which, some would say, is longer than a newsletter. But you and I had an understanding. Instead of flooding your eyeballs with so many words, I distilled a select few thoughts, hired an…
The thing we forget slips through the cracks, no matter how loud the reminders get. The thing we forget doesn’t beg for attention, no matter how much we need it. The thing we forget can fill us with pride or shame once we realize we’ve forgotten it. The thing we forget is how to take care of ourselves. As far back as 1500 BCE, the Vedic sages wrote about the connection between physical health and…
What if you could trade all the busywork you do for real, sustainable momentum? We’re all tired of spinning in place. We get exhausted from worry and excuses stealing our focus. Perhaps you’re ready to pause the hustle and finally do something about creating consistent revenue. You don’t need me to tell you that it starts with how you show up, right? If you’re nodding along, I’ve created an…
Sometimes I forget that I ever hosted a podcast. After 6 years of “solving” business issues on the Breaking Down Your Business podcast – are anyone’s business issues really solved in a twenty-minute episode? – I spent 4 years hosting Why Are We Shouting? , a question I continue to ask myself daily. Whether you’re looking for a business boost or your love language is tastefully placed audio beneath…
Every year, the fan favorite and most widely read newsletter I send is a list of the things I’ve screwed up in my business. It’s what gave birth to my podcast, Why Are We Shouting? , where I used to shout weekly about what I’d messed up this time. This year? A twist. In my efforts to remind you that nobody in business knows what they’re doing – not even if they’ve been in business for 20+ years –…
