I've known these clients longer than I've known my husband. So when they decided my part was the easiest piece to cut, it stung—more than I expected. It wasn't about the budget. It was a choice. Then a colleague I've worked with for decades said one sentence that melted my heart: "I won't work with them if they don't work with you." Here's what she reminded me about how to know your worth—and why generosity and value were never opposites in the first place.

At mile 406 of a very long drive, with a toddler in the back seat and 194 miles still to go, I learned why the finish line always feels harder than the journey. The closer we get to any goal—a business, a healing season, a dream—the heavier the final stretch feels. It's not just that we're tired of the road. We're tired from becoming the person the journey required. If your finish line feels unbearable, it may just mean you're closer than ever. Keep going. ❤️

Why are we so afraid to say what we actually want? We shrink our dreams before anyone asks us to—trading the real version for a safer, more palatable one that's easier to recover from if life says no. But a smaller dream doesn't protect you from disappointment. It just means you start out negotiating against yourself. Here's why learning how to dream big isn't about wanting more—it's about refusing to cut down the dream already living inside you.

Today I walked back into a room from a previous chapter of my life — same conference, same faces, but a completely different me.

In this funny and honest reflection on how to deal with embarrassment, I share the painfully human moment my toddler accidentally helped send an email to a potential client containing the word “a$s” and complete keyboard chaos — plus what to do when shame, perfectionism, and the mortification spiral take over.

Ever walk into a room and suddenly feel like you don’t belong — like the unsure eight-year-old version of you quietly takes over? This deeply personal reflection explores inner child wounds, unworthiness, and the strange way old stories resurface, especially around family or people who knew us “before.” If you’ve ever questioned whether you deserve beautiful things, this gentle reminder is for you: you belong here.

She is wildly successful, stunning, and lights up every room. But beneath the achievements lives an eight-year-old girl who learned that love must be earned through performance. So many of us carry this invisible wound. We build beautiful lives and bank accounts, yet accept breadcrumbs in our relationships because the chaos feels like home. Discover how childhood trauma drives our romantic choices, and why it is finally time to tell that exhausted little girl she can stop per

Forget the green beer. On Day 76 of my journey, I’m looking at the true meaning of St Patrick's Day through the lens of resilience and somatic healing. From my father-in-law’s green suit to the "kidnapped" seasons of our lives, this post explores how to drive out internal snakes—toxic beliefs and demeaning treatment—to reclaim your worth. Whether you're in a "green suit" season or a quiet one, discover why the waddle forward is the only luck you actually need. Suit optional.

Perfectionism isn’t about excellence — it’s about safety. A raw, honest reflection on fear of criticism, inner child wounds, and learning to rest the scales.
