As women, we do a lot. We’re the thinkers, the planners, the managers, the caretakers.We’re the chief operating officers of our households—and oh yeah, many of us are also running businesses orworking full-time jobs. We make sure the right people are celebrated, the logistics are handled, the feelings are considered, and the wheels keep turning. […]

Let’s clear something up: You don’t need a niche. You don’t need a polished website. You don’t need a perfectly branded business. What you need is a perception shift. Your ability to create clients is directly tied to how you see yourself—and how your potential clients see the value of coaching. Because this entire business?

Ever catch yourself reacting in a way that feels out of proportion? HALT is a simple acronym used in coaching, therapy, and recovery spaces because it gets to the root of so many difficult moments. It stands for: These four states make us more reactive, less patient, and far more likely to misinterpret what’s happening

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being loved meant being less. We said “it’s okay” when it wasn’t. We smiled through things that hurt. We made ourselves small to keep things smooth. I know I did. I used to believe I had to accept sarcastic digs to feel close to someone. I

What’s for dinner?It’s such a simple question.And yet… it drives me crazy. I hate this topic. Before I had kids, dinner was just something you ate and maybe even enjoyed.It wasn’t complicated.It certainly wasn’t something I obsessed about or dreaded. Now, after 21 years of parenting, and 21 years of meal planning, it feels like

“That could’ve gone better,”

The women who came to the BOLD AF Workshop last week didn’t show up to get hyped.
They showed up to get honest—with themselves.
They looked at the pressure to perform.
The labels they’ve carried.
The rules they’ve followed to stay liked, keep peace, and be “enough.”
And they broke the silence.
Here’s what happened next:
- They felt lighter. More honest. Less alone.
- They left with a new language—and a new level of permission.
- They remembered who they were before the world told them who to be.
The next BOLD AF Workshop is in August—and registration is already open. The link to register is in the comments below.
Let August be the month you say, no more hiding.

Coaches need coaches too. And this method will show you why.
Because no matter how many tools you’ve mastered…
how many frameworks you’ve taught…
or how many breakthroughs you’ve facilitated for others—
You’re still human.
You still carry narratives.
And some of them are running the show in ways you can’t see—yet.
Maybe it’s the belief that you have to prove your worth with every client result.
Or that you shouldn’t charge “too much” because coaching is supposed to be “in service.”
Or that being visible means being salesy—and that makes you uncomfortable.
These stories don’t just shape how you coach.
They shape how you show up in your business.
And that’s where the ACT Method comes in.
Awareness. Choice. Transformation.
1. Awareness – Naming the story you’ve been believing.
“I’m not far enough ahead to lead others.”
“I have to be perfect to be credible.”
2. Choice – Deciding what gets to stay—and what you’re ready to rewrite.
You don’t have to hold onto that old version of success.
You get to choose a new narrative.
3. Transformation – Showing up differently—on video, in sales conversations, on client calls—because you believe differently.
And your clients feel it.
Working with a master coach doesn’t mean you’re behind.
It means you’re ready to go further—faster.
It means you want to be even more aligned, intentional, and powerful—for you and your clients.

We do a lot as women.
We manage, plan, organize, caretake, and anticipate. Not because we want to do it all—but because we’re afraid of what might happen if we don’t.
This week’s post is a personal reflection and a permission slip.
It’s about choosing self-care that actually sustains you.
It’s about letting others in.
It’s about learning to say: I matter too.
The latest newsletter is now live on the blog—check it out here:

Let it be enough. Let it include you.

When was the last time you felt like you?
Not the version who gets it done.
Not the one who shows up strong.
Not the one who holds it together for everyone else.face
But the real you—
the one with wants, feelings, and dreams
that haven’t made it to the to-do list in years.
The BOLD AF (Activated & Free) Workshop isn’t just another webinar.
It’s a call to come home to yourself.
One hour. One conversation. One decision to stop abandoning your truth.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to pause, breathe, and remember who you are—this is it.
June 18. 5 PM PST. Live on Zoom.
We’re not performing here. We’re becoming.
Drop a “BOLD” below if I’ll see you there.
