In the last year, not a day goes by without an industry leader, colleague, or client texting me to ask me, “what can I do” in today’s climate. Leaders are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with their energy… Wanting to help but not sure how to do it when they are being so affected by what is happening. That’s on the global scale.   And on the business side, they ask me why things that used to work aren’t working anymore. Why do people seem so quiet? Why isn’t their community responding to this thing that always worked so well? Why does it feel like everything is falling apart globally and in their industry? So many leaders who have platforms of influence … Continued

When I first met Jadah Sellner, her first business, Simple Green Smoothies, was already a seven figure success and boasted over a million followers on social media. She was highly respected in the entrepreneurial world and her first biz was doing GREAT. But she was now being called into the next level of her legacy — launching her own successful personal brand.   She had also just been invited to be keynote speaker at the famous World Domination Summit, in front of 3,000 people. This was her next level as a leader & an opportunity to get known for her own personal message, vs the message of her first business. “Leaders need support too. And I just knew that you … Continued

My dearest fellow leader, I was blown away to see the response so many of you had to last week’s blog post.   The post was about how to not just survive but also LEAD in the chaos, pain, & distress we are experiencing right now. (So that we actually help, instead of get overwhelmed and give up).   If you missed it, don’t. Read it.   (I put the link at the bottom of this short letter to make it easier for you.) In that blog post I wrote about how our world as we have known it is dying. The foundations of racism, misogyny, and the abuse that our world has been built on is being revealed.   … Continued

It’s 8am on a Saturday, and I’m wading through the outpouring of news articles on the situation at the US border and cracking into a million pieces.   My godchildren have just come to visit a week earlier — 7, 4 and 2 years old. I am trying to imagine what it would feel like if they were ripped away from me by strangers & I had no idea what might happen to them.   A horrible feeling comes over me. I feel like I am going to lose my f*&king mind.    And yet, people are going through this, a desperate, keening voice within me wails. I take a deep breath, feeling myself on the edge of something terrifying, … Continued

It’s a fact that most people who feel called to leave a legacy in the world are also highly sensitive and empathic. If you didn’t have that ability to empathize, you wouldn’t have that drive to use your impact and your influence to make a positive change in the world. But I also know that being empathic & highly sensitive can be overwhelming. We can feel everything in the room around us, in our clients, in the people we interact with. Many of the women leaders I work with are making huge waves with their work and struggling with energy levels & burnout due to not knowing how to manage their empathic side.   They know they are called here … Continued
