When Your Success Outpaces You
If you’re successful on paper but quietly exhausted behind the scenes, this video is for you. So many high-level women reach a point where they can no longer tolerate working at a fever pitch…yet easing up at all feels risky. You might worry that could cost you momentum or income or the impact that you care about so much. In this quick video (less than 2 mins.) I share a story from my work with a client…and a simple mindset shift that can change everything: how you work,


Creating Time For Your Vision
I hope you’re still enjoying the holidays and you finally have some time to REST. This time of year can be magical, wonderful, challenging and stressful, all at once. My video today is about all the energy women put in to taking care of everything (personally and professionally) before the year ends…and what happens when the holidays are over and things go back to “normal”. Watch for more and learn the simplest, most important question you can ask to connect with your vi


How Challenges Impact Your Vision
This week has been intense. Between world events and the busyness of the holidays, it can feel impossible to focus on and be inspired about the year ahead. As I’ve been I’ve been reflecting on how our visions change during times of challenge - and thinking about how my clients have grown through difficult circumstances - I realize that getting clear about what matters most or no longer fits can help us move forward more powerfully . Your vision (whether big, small or in b


Visioning 101: Tools You Can Use
As part of my "visioning" series this month, I’ve shared a bit about how powerful a vision can be (if you missed my video, watch this ) and the impact it can have on your future and the next phase of your business, career and life. But how do you actually vision?? While I have my own proprietary process that I take clients through (and you can experience with my Visioning for 2026 coaching special ), there are many ways to do it. Here are a few ideas… Vision boar


My Story & How Visioning “Works”
Today I want to share my story of how I became a coach because it illustrates the power of visioning in a very “real” way. Many are skeptical that you can imagine something and have it come to life. Even though I’m a believer - because this has happened for me in big ways and small - I still feel skeptical at times too. Action is necessary, of course, but your mind and your imagination are literally tools you can use to change the course of your work and your life. The


"Visioning for 2026" Special Coaching Offer
If you’re anything like the women I coach, you’re already thinking ahead to 2026 - not just about what needs to happen, but about what you want most for your business or career. But let’s be honest: creating a powerful vision isn’t always easy. When you’re juggling multiple roles and responsibilities and you have big ideas about your professional and personal growth, it can be tough to balance it all. While you might wish you had a clear direction and solid plan for the y


Why You Second-Guess Your Success
OK, big question...do you believe you deserve success? Hopefully, your first answer is "of course I do!" - whether you consider yourself to be successful now or not. What I’m wondering is how you really feel deep down. In working with high-achieving women for years, I’ve rarely found anyone who doesn't question, at some level, whether she deserves or can handle all she desires. Each woman defines success differently and your version might look very different than mine


How To Be Smart & Follow Your Passion
One of the themes that’s common for my coaching clients is the conflict between taking risks and playing it safe professionally. This can be tough to manage because decisions around what steps to take (or not to take) are unique to each person’s situation, risk tolerance and capacity for change. You might experience this conflict as doing what inspires you or doing what “makes sense”. Making decisions with your head or with your heart. Pursuing your passion or simply payi

As a Business & Career Coach focused on “success without exhaustion for women”, I often hear from clients who are stressed, stretched and...


Taking Vacation Is Good For Business
We all know vacations support us personally but the good news is they can do wonders for our work as well. To understand why, think...
