A participant at my yearly Mary Magdalene retreat in France.   A few years ago, I got to be a witness to one of the worst program launches in history. My poor friend had poured months of work into this new program and opening day was here! But EVERYTHING went wrong. She had THREE THOUSAND people signed up for her webinars where she would sell her new program. But on the day of the webinar, the software had an unforeseeable glitch. This was not her fault at all. It was an uncontrollable tech meltdown. But thousands of people couldn’t get on to the webinar. Only 300 were able to attend in the end. She received over 250 emails in her …

Teaching clients about capacity in a recent in-home retreat.   “I just spent two weeks in bed.” Her voice was trembling as she fought back tears.  My client had just led her first live event with eighty people attending, it had been her largest group to date. And now she couldn’t move. Worst of all, this was the third time she’d been THIS sick in only three months. In between sobs, blowing her nose into tissues, she blurted out to me, “What’s wrong with me? Do I just not have what it takes to go to my next level or to make the impact I want to make?
