You Are Not Your Feelings

Okay, okay, so I am a little bit behind. I didn’t send out a new year, new you or a happy new year/new decade email.

My gift to you this holiday season.

It’s a twofer! My gift to you this holiday season.

Many people suffer from accidental living.

What do I mean by that? Accidental living is when you live by default rather than by design. Somewhere along the way, you get so caught up in the details of life that you forget to be intentional.

What happens when we live this way is that time goes on, life goes by, and one day, we wake up and wonder how we got to where we are today. Sometimes we like the view, but sometimes we feel like there should be something more.

Does this sound like you? 👂

Don't worry! I've got 3 tried-and-true steps for you to take to reach your goals.

Step 1: Set SMART Goals

Successful goals have 5 main components. They're Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. A good example of a SMART goals is: I will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8 - 9 A.M. for 20 minutes to build my endurance for a relay race I am participating in.

Step 2: Define Your WHY

When you define your WHY for your goals, you will be more likely to achieve it. Remember the example in Step 1? Here is an example of adding your WHY to your goal.

"I will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8 - 9 A.M. for 20 minutes to build my endurance for a relay race I am participating in for my kids fundraiser in 4 weeks."

Step 3: Visualize

To be successful in reaching your goal, it's important to visualize yourself on each step of the journey. Make sure you can really see yourself as your are now, and how you will feel once you reach your destination.

I want to challenge you to think of a goal and write it down in a SMART way. If you're feeling brave, share it with us in the comments! ⬇️

I am excited to announce something I've just recently cooked up! 🎉

Coalescent - an entrepreneurial mastery immersive retreat where who you’re being and what you’re doing collide.

This experience is for coaches and entrepreneurs who are serious about the imprint they are creating and leaving in the world, who want more, enjoy working with and learning from others, and who want to examine 2022 and plan out an excellent 2023.

People tend to either rush toward the end of the year (Q4) and rev up their intensity, or throw up their hands and think - I'll hit it hard next year.

This experience is a chance get away and slow down (pause), have fun with others while learning together to work on your businesses, beingness, and vision.

Doing this in a beautiful setting away from home will enhance your creativity and give the mind the freedom it needs to explore what’s possible.

💫 You will be with other committed businesspeople who will share and contribute their best ideas and lessons learned.

💫 You will be a part of a select group of entrepreneurs who alongside you, will share their knowledge, strategies and best business and personal advice, so that you can coalesce who you’re being and what you’re doing to create meaningful results and a kick butt 2023.

Coalescent takes place Oct. 6th through the 9th and includes the programs, up to 4-nights of lodging, most meals and think tank collaboration.

Most women are living by unspoken rules they got from their families or picked up somewhere along the way.

They make these rules their beliefs and then live in their false self.

The truth is, most of the rules we’ve picked up don’t apply to our truest inner being.

We need to look at the rules we are following and ask ourselves…do they fit?
