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! Below are quotes from a recent survey where I asked several moms who've successfully weathered career transitions what advice they’d give, and they've generously shared their insights.

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.

Between work, family, and the general busyness of our lives, finding a moment to pause and reflect on our own goals and values can sometimes be a struggle. Fortunately, all it takes is a small amount of time to lead you towards more focus and clarity in life, career, or general well-being.

I recently hosted and facilitated a Reset and Recharge workshop with partner coaches, Amy Lauer and Tres Jimenez. Amy is a transformational leadership coach and Tres is a creative catalyst who coaches on career. My coaching focuses on career and well-being. The focus of our workshop was to create a community where each attendee could create space to reflect and focus on what’s important to them as we start the new year.

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.”
