wrong question
Me with some of my beautiful clients during an in-person capacity retreat. Back in August, I was on the phone with an amazing woman who was interested in working with me. She’d been one of the founding members of a successful startup and was in the process of selling it. And now, it was time…
they tried to find the “dirty” in me
a picture I took shortly after our final convo, feeling like an elephant was taken off my shoulders! I went to go see the new Mr. Rogers film a few weeks ago. Have you seen it yet? I learned something HUGE about capacity that I want to share with you because I have a…
duct tape
Picture of me and clients in tea ceremony at a Capacity Retreat in my home. Last week I was scrolling through my Instagram account and I came across a series of posts from quite a few different women about the same topic: things falling apart or unraveling in their lives & businesses. Just…
how i escaped the wildfire
On the left, me at the vet at 7:30 am & on the right, in a smoke mask sitting in my car doing phone calls. On Monday I had to rush one of my dogs to the vet at 7:30 am and pay an unexpected $300 bill because she had somehow scratched her cornea. My…
fear tango
A hand written note to Lisa from a client. A few weeks ago I was outside in my robe and slippers taking my dogs for their morning walk. The morning mist was coming over the mountains and the smell of ocean salt was in the air. When I’m in Santa Barbara, the place where I…
you, yourself and you
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…
secret language
Me with my first crush… who ALSO didn’t like me back! Back in my teens and early twenties I had a pattern of falling in infatuation with “unrequited love” kind of people. First, it was the guy who talked to me for hours and poured his heart out to me on the phone once…
boundary trifecta
Photo of me with attendees at a speaking engagement. I have an important question for you to ask yourself and journal on today. Ready for it? How often have you found yourself investing in other things that you think are more urgent or important right now than your boundaries? Truly. Get really honest with…
the Oprah effect
Photo of me with attendees at a speaking engagement. Have you ever heard of the “Oprah effect?” It’s what happens when you’re a small company and Oprah or some other big-name person/company mentions you and suddenly you blow up and everyone wants to order your product or pay for your services. One of the most…
pretzel
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,…
