Spring is here. The days are longer. The weather is warmer. Flowers are in bloom. There’s something about the wholesomeness of the season that makes us want to freshen up our living spaces, declutter our homes, and make room for something new. What if this year you decided to expand the concept of spring cleaning […]

Last Wednesday I did something totally out of character. It was around lunchtime, and I was sitting at my desk drowsy and unmotivated, staring at my to-do list. It had been a long week, and I had not been able to disconnect over the weekend because I was training students on how to become effective

Dear Gretchen: I am a mother of four, and we just moved to Studio City from San Jose, CA. My two older kids are not transitioning well. They miss their friends. They hate their new school. And, they may even hate me. What can I do to make this easier for all of us? –

We all have a unique purpose that is God-given and specific to who we are. But we don’t all live it. Some of us know that it’s there. We can see the hazy edges of what it might be, but since it isn’t clear, we can’t bring it into focus. Fear of failure, fear of
Life is made up of seasons, vibrant, painful, joyous, and dry. Like an abundant harvest after the rain, each offers a unique lesson that can lead to peace. Whatever your current circumstances are, good or bad, they will come to an end. Peace, however, is something you can keep. It might be your season to

We’ve all experienced times in life of wrestling with our own negative thoughts. 🤼♀️
When it comes to your coaching business, there is no exception.
“I should have done that better.”
“Why wasn’t I nicer to them when dealing with that?”
“I’m not good enough to do this…Why do I even try?”
“I’ll never make enough money as a coach.”
“I’m a FRAUD.”
When you encounter these thoughts, you’re dealing with your inner critic. 🌪️
These feelings of inadequacy are a normal part of the human experience. And we can all relate.
Your inner critic is a built-in defense mechanism that is constantly trying to protect you from embarrassment and failure. But that can become a bad thing when you allow it to hold you back - when you become paralyzed by fear. 😓
So here are four steps you can take to quiet your inner critic:
1️⃣ Ask yourself, “What is it that my inner critic is trying to protect me from?”
2️⃣ Think about this: When you are the highest and most healed version of yourself - when you’re NOT afraid - what do you know to be true?
3️⃣ Identify an important factor - Whose voice is it that your inner critic is trying to represent? Is it the voice of your parents? A friend? An enemy? Or, is it your own voice?
4️⃣ Take action: What action can you take to move (far) away from these unwanted messages and towards the truth of who you are?
Next time you find yourself fighting with your inner critic, remember: it’s just an outdated coping mechanism.
Don’t let it bully you.
Instead, remind yourself of who you really are and embrace your truth. 💖

Getting ready for BOLD 2024! These women are like a tiny pinecone. They can grow up to create a forest.
Break Free to Bold is for ambitious women who are A-type personalities. They are used to being leaders and achievers but deserve a deep level of rest, attention, and activation that BOLD offers.
These women are ready to look deeper at what no longer serves them, to pull the covers on their selective vulnerability and who are ready to unbecome anything that isn’t really them.
I honor the women who are willing to do this level of work.
Let’s do this!
