“What do you MEAN humans have an ‘off switch’ that can put us to sleep?”I was having a conversation with Leslie Fiala Urbas, and the subject of sleep had come up.I don’t generally have too much trouble falling asleep, but once in a while, it’s like my brain forgets that it even HAS a ‘sleep’ function.So I commented that, if the body must insist on needing sleep, it should at least include an “off switch” instead of refusing to sleep and then complaining about not sleeping.You can imagine my surprise when Leslie said there IS such a switch, and she knew how to activa…

Are you sick of being ghosted, or being told “I need to think about it” by your potential clients? You know they need you. You know you can help them. But instead, they walk away – which means they keep struggling, and you keep not getting paid. So how do you break this cycle, and consistently get paid to transform lives?

You have wisdom that could change lives, if you turned it into the right kind of coaching package. But is something holding you back from sharing it? Maybe you don’t think you have time to figure out how to create a coaching program. Maybe you aren’t sure you have enough material to create an offer people will buy… Or you have TOO MUCH information, and you don’t know how to choose what to include! Maybe you’re afraid of spending hours upon hours creating something you can’t sell. Have you ever felt that way? The good news is,

What do running a business, attracting clients, and moving to a new house have in common? Surprisingly, a lot. In the beginning of June, I moved to a rural area. And it. Was. CHAOS. From playing real-life Tetris with a too-small trailer, to getting stuck with said trailer at the entrance of a field, to getting lost and stranded in the middle of the night, it was a messy and surprisingly instructive comedy of errors. And so, because I'm always trying to help you grow your business and help more people, I decided to share those experiences -

Some days are only funny in hindsight.And some situations can't be fixed - at least, not as quickly and cleanly as you wish they could.For example, days when you're stuck in a U-Haul at a closed gas station in the middle of the night, unable to contact the family member who's waiting for you.The good news is, I had the mindset strategies I needed to minimize my fear and Stress while I was stuck, so I didn't suffer any more than I needed to.If you tend to get super stressed when things go wrong, this video is for you.In it, I'll share my story in all its funny, chaotic glory...And I…
