Face slap!
One of the most powerful things a mentor ever said to me was “your business isn’t about you.” Ouch! At the time it felt like a sharp slap in the face, but she was right. While tough to hear, it changed my life and business forever. That’s what good mentors do if we’re willing to…
They found me out
I KNOW you’ve heard of Impostor Syndrome. You’re bopping along feeling great, maybe you have a new offering coming out, or you get invited to speak on a TV show, and BAM, it hits you. This deep fear that somehow people will “find out” you’re “not that great,” and EVERYONE will know it. The problem…
Offensive bathroom break
You’ll often hear people talk about “scarcity mentality” and “abundance mentality.” I know you’ve read and internalized all the usual signs of “scarcity mentality,” so I won’t repeat what you already know. But there’s one sneaky way scarcity mentality comes up, even in the person most convinced they’re “abundantly minded.” When I’ve pointed it out…
Resisting?
Many years ago I worked with a woman who’d just written a book. She had an incredible personal story to tell and even her publishers knew it was going to blow the F up when it was released. “Marguerite” had one problem though… She kept holding back the book launch. First, it was another round…

Triggered AF
When I was a kid, my sister and I made up a game called “dress of jewels.” You open your closet, look at a dress, then close it and say “I wish for a dress of rubies, emeralds, and diamonds!” If you wished hard enough, it would happen. We always convinced ourselves we’d seen a…
Burnout-Proof
Want to know what one of the biggest fears you’ll encounter when you’re setting new boundaries? It’s a tricky one! A few months ago I was speaking about boundaries with one of our Capacity Shift™ clients on a group call. She was setting new boundaries she wasn’t used to having, but which she needed for…
The Worst Imaginable Thing
I was listening to Bob Iger’s book “The Ride of A Lifetime” in my car while I was on vacation recently. The opening was so intense and riveting; I was 30 minutes late to my doctor’s appointment because I lost track of time. Several years back, one of the worst imaginable tragedies that ever happened…
