In our fast-moving world, it’s challenging to slow down. We’re always on the go, always trying to make things happen faster, trying to quickly finish that big project at work, or get that next promotion. And most of us think it’s unnecessary to slow down and make time for rest. Some of us go through the day so quickly we don’t remember what we did. We go through the motions of life without really being present in what we’re doing. We’re stressed and have been consistently for the past few years for many external reasons.

Have you ever felt stuck, held back by self-doubt, or overwhelmed by habits you can’t seem to change? I have. That’s why I coach. I believe that with the right support and tools, anyone can break free from those patterns and create a life filled with purpose and clarity.

Growing up, I didn’t have the tools or guidance to make conscious choices or build habits that served me. My inner critic ruled my mind, making me second-guess myself at every turn. Over the years, through getting coached myself, ongoing training, and helping over 100 people find greater passion and clarity, I’ve learned that change is always possible.

Are you a mom pondering a career shift, or are you already navigating this challenging path? Just know that you're not alone!

Life is an unpredictable journey filled with twists and turns, especially when it comes to our careers. Throughout our professional lives, we often find ourselves at crossroads, contemplating the direction we should take. It was during one of these pivotal moments that my lovable Corgi named Lucky, provided unexpected insights and helped me navigate the challenging path of career transition. In this blog, I will share how my furry, “loaf” aka corgi taught me valuable lessons about self-reflection, adaptability, and following my passion.

Positive Intelligence is a framework developed by Shirzad Chamine that aims to help individuals boost mental fitness, resilience, and a more positive mindset. One of the key aspects of the Positive Intelligence framework is the concept of “Saboteurs”.

Saboteurs are defined as the negative internal voices or limiting beliefs that can undermine our confidence, happiness, and overall well-being.

What exactly is coaching and how is it useful or impactful? Coaches get this question a lot so I wanted to share the definition, a real life example, what the process of finding coaching can look like, as well as the types of breakthroughs someone can make.

Coaching is partnering with a client “in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.”
