You did everything right. So why does Sunday night feel like dread?

This is for the woman who:
• Has the career everyone envies (but fantasizes about sabbaticals)
• Runs the household like a Fortune 500 (while running an actual Fortune 500)
• Gets praised for "having it all together" (while falling apart inside)

But here`s what no one sees:
The 3am anxiety about... nothing and everything.
The irritation when someone asks "what`s for dinner?" after you just closed a $2M deal.
The guilt—about wanting something more when your life is already "so blessed."

So why does success feel like a beautiful prison?

Because that voice keeps whispering:
"This isn`t it. There`s something deeper."

But you push it down. Because who complains about a life this good?

BOLD AF (Activated & Free) is for high-achieving women brave enough to admit:
The life you built is impressive, but it`s not enough anymore.
You feel guilty wanting "more" when you have "so much."

But that guilt? It`s your soul waking up.

One hour to explore:
→ Why your biggest achievement might be your biggest trap
→ What you actually want (hint: it`s not another promotion)
→ How to want more without apologizing

BOLD AF Workshop
Sept 13 at 9am PT
Limited to 20 women

First 5 get a private breakthrough session
You didn`t work this hard to feel like there is more to offer.

DM "READY" to claim your spot.

25 years of marriage.
Hard seasons. Honest conversations. Choosing each other, again and again.

This one’s not about perfection.
It’s about what it really takes to build something lasting, without losing yourself in the process.

If you’re in the thick of it…
If you’re tired of performing…
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to choose you again,
Go read it. This one`s for you.

Coach Certified but no clients?

Here’s why:
Coaching skill ≠ enrollment skill.

Most coaches stop at being great at the craft. But the ones who fill their practice?
They learn how to close.

This Labor Day, honor your work by learning the skill that actually builds your business.

What part of the enrollment process do you avoid most—outreach, offering, or asking for the yes? Drop it below.

Comparison doesn’t always sound like “I wish I had their life.”

Sometimes, it sounds like:
“I should be further along.”
“Why was her launch so effortless?”
“How is she doing all that and still making it look easy?”

Even if you don’t say it out loud…

You feel it in your gut.
And the worst part?

You’re not comparing your actual life to theirs.
You’re comparing your real life to their highlight reel.

Here’s what I remind my clients (and myself):
▪You’re not behind.
▪You’re not failing.
▪You’re not too late.

You’re building a life aligned with who you really are
not what the algorithm rewards.

When you focus on what’s yours to build, the comparison fades.
If this hit home for you, share it with someone who needs this reminder too.
