We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. Thanksgiving is over, and Hanukkah, Christmas, and the New Year are all on the way. How are you doing? I mean, how are you really doing? As much as I love the holidays (and I do), what I don’t love is the mind field […]

I did it! I am officially a Master Coach through the International Coaching Federation. This is the highest designation a trained and certified coach can get. The achievement process is labor intensive and requires thousands of hours and years of practice and training. When I set out to be a coach four and a half
OMG! I woke up this morning and realized that not only are the holidays here (literally) but we are close to the end of another year (yup, that happened, it’s already November), counting down the completion of a decade. An entire 10 years! In 56 days it’s going to be 2020 (but who’s counting?). When

We all know lying is bad. We learn this very early on. In fact, it’s one of the very first rules that we get as children from our parents and teachers: always tell the truth. Don’t lie. And yet, many of us adults tell lies all the time. Women, especially, learn that it’s better to
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s not enough? Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night feeling unaccomplished? Unworthy of the things you really want, like great health, relationships, career, and finances? When someone compliments you, do you feel like s/he is just “being nice”? If so,

Turning Catch-Ups into Clients
You close the Zoom window and think: ‘Well… that was nice, but… now what?’ If you’ve ever said, “Let’s catch up!” and ended the call wondering why nothing came of it—this one’s for you.
This month’s Coaching For Coaches Newsletter breaks down how to turn reconnection calls into powerful coaching conversations (without being awkward or salesy).
Inside, I’m sharing:
- Why most coaches stay stuck in small talk
- The subtle mindset shift that changes the entire tone
- 3 steps to go from friendly → focused
- Sample questions + exact language for making “the turn”
If you’ve been avoiding outreach or feeling flat in your business, this is the game-changer you need.
Coaches are already using this strategy to turn dormant contacts into dream clients. Don’t miss it—read the newsletter now. The link is in the comments below.

3 Ways to Raise Your Coaching Rates (Without Adding More Calls)
You want to hit your income goals as a coach?
Start with a coaching package that’s built to convert.
Because high-value doesn’t mean more stuff.
It means more intention, more clarity, and more transformation.
Here’s where to focus:
1. Build a Real Roadmap
“Let’s see where this goes” isn’t a strategy—it’s a stall.
Create a step-by-step plan with your client. Know what they want, what’s in the way, and how you’ll get there.
2. Deliver Value Between the Sessions
Transformation doesn’t just happen on Zoom.
It happens in their real life.
Stay connected. Offer tools, check-ins, and support that keeps them moving.
3. Add a Bold, Experiential Component
Want to be unforgettable? Create moments they’ll never forget.
That’s how you build loyalty and referrals.
🔹Retreats
🔹VIP Days
🔹Quarterly Workshops
🔹Bold Challenges
These give your coaching weight. And they make your offer irresistible.
Quick Self-Check:
– What’s the transformation I really deliver?
– Where am I playing small in my offers?
– What would make this unforgettable to the right client?
Don’t just package time.
Package results.
And then Profit!
If this helped you think differently about your offer, it’ll help someone else too.

Why Strong Women Still Feel Like Impostors
You can be confident and conflicted at the same time.
You can lead and still doubt yourself.
You can know the next step—and still hesitate before taking it.
That was me not too long ago.
I had the credentials.
The experience.
The proof that I was qualified.
And yet, every time I stepped into something new, I’d hear the old voice whisper:
“Are you really ready for this?”
But I learned something.
Readiness isn’t a feeling.
It’s a decision.
And confidence?
It’s not the result of getting it perfect.
It’s the reward of showing up—even when it’s messy.
Action builds clarity.
Repetition builds confidence.
Momentum builds belief.
So if you’re a high-achieving woman quietly questioning herself—
This is your reminder:
You don’t need to be more ready.
You just need to be brave enough to begin.

She didn’t plan to snap.
But when her colleague challenged her in the meeting, it was like someone hit a nerve.
Suddenly, her chest was tight. Her tone changed. Her words turned sharp.
That’s the moment to pause—and that’s what the Emotions Cycle Guide helps you do.
And afterward? The shame spiral began.
“Why did I react like that?”
“Where did that come from?”
The truth is:
It wasn’t just about the comment.
It was about the time she was told to tone it down.
The moment she was laughed at for being passionate.
The years she spent believing that being “too much” would cost her love or respect.
I call these Tripwire Emotions—explosions in the present that are rooted in the past.
They show up when a moment pokes at a long-buried story.
And if you’ve built your identity around being in control?
These moments can feel terrifying. Even humiliating.
But they’re not proof that you’re broken.
They’re invitations to heal.
If you’re ready to understand your emotions before they hijack your day—
Grab the Emotions Cycle Guide. It’s short. Simple. And clarifying.

When ‘having it all’ still leaves you anxious at 3AM.
You’ve built a life that looks successful.
But behind the smiles and calendar invites… you’re exhausted.
You’re leading the team. Supporting your family.
And silently wondering, “When will it be my turn?”
That whisper you’ve been ignoring?
It’s not weakness.
It’s wisdom.
And it’s time to listen.
Bold AF (Activated & Free) was built for moments like this.—
A one-hour experience for high-achieving women who are ready to stop performing and start becoming.
We’re stripping away the negative beliefs holding you back from asking for a raise even though you lead the whole team.
Shattering the image that’s been keeping you smiling in public and spiraling in private.
And reclaiming the truth beneath it all… That you’re ready for more but you feel guilty asking for it.
Give me 60 minutes and I’ll help you release the pressure to be everything to everyone.
