Helping successful women feel happier at work and at home.

02/04/2026

We spend so much energy wishing things were different.
Our kids shouldn’t do that.
Our partner shouldn’t say that.
We shouldn’t feel this way.

And without realizing it… we add a second layer of suffering.

Here’s the reframe I worked through with every client yesterday:
✨ I don’t have to like what’s happening — but it is happening.
And from there, we get our power back.

Not by forcing positivity.
Not by pretending it’s easy.
But by choosing how we want to feel and how we want to show up.

This work isn’t effortless — it’s more like burpees with a personal trainer 😅
Hard in the moment.
Strength-building in the long run.

If this resonates, try it today.
Catch the “shoulds.”
Release the resistance.
And choose your next step with intention. 💛

EEEKKK… it’s officially less than 6 weeks until I step onto the TEDx stage in White Rock 😳✨

March 15 is coming FAST.

I’m so excited (and a little nervous — the good kind) to be part of an incredible roster of speakers at TEDx White Rock.

My talk is titled:�Truth Is Making A Comeback

And yes… it’s a little spicy. 🔥
�Honest. Bold. And very much a reflection of the work I care deeply about.

If you love powerful stories, big ideas, and conversations that matter — I would love to see you there.

Deep breaths. Here we go. 💛

This morning I caught an old belief trying to sneak back in. The kind that shows up fast and familiar.
 “I can’t.” “I don’t belong.” “That’s not for someone like me.”

I felt it in my body right away — tight, heavy, uneasy.

And what struck me later… how clearly I can see these moments when it’s happening in my daughter.

I can see instantly when she’s believing something that isn’t true about herself. I know exactly what I’d say. How I’d remind her who she is. How I’d steady her, encourage her, speak truth back to her.

But when it’s us? It’s harder. The stories are quieter. More practiced. More convincing.

So instead of pushing past it, I paused. I stayed with the discomfort. And I coached myself the way I would coach her — the way I coach the women I get to walk alongside.

I noticed the old story. I thanked myself for catching it. I forgave myself for slipping into an identity that once felt safe… and then I chose something truer.

And just like that, the tightness eased. Peace came in. Not because everything was figured out — but because I remembered who I’m becoming.

If an old belief has been whispering to you lately, please know this: You’re not failing because it showed up. You’re being invited to meet yourself with the same compassion and truth you so freely offer others.

And if you’re reading this thinking, “I don’t even know what stories I’m believing anymore” — that’s okay. That’s exactly where this work begins.

I used every tool I teach today — on myself. And if you’d like support learning how to do that too, I’m here — whether that’s together 1:1 or inside Becoming.

You don’t need fixing. Just a little space, truth, and encouragement — the same way you give it to everyone else.

✨ I’m doing something I’ve never done before — and it’s happening today. ✨

I’m opening up a Becoming community call to guests because the lesson I’m teaching feels too important to keep inside the room.

I truly believe every woman needs to hear this.

So many of us carry beautiful dreams and desires on our hearts. The kind that won’t leave us alone.

And yet… they stay just out of reach.

Here’s what I’m uncovering — both in my own journey and in my work with women:

✨ The missing link isn’t the dream.
✨ It’s the belief that we are the woman who gets to live it.

Underneath our goals often live quiet, well-rehearsed lies:
• I’m too old.
• I’m too young.
• I missed my moment.
• Who do I think I am to want this?

Today, on this bonus Becoming call, I’ll be teaching a simple, practical way to notice and begin dismantling the lies you’ve been believing — so the dreams on your heart stop feeling like wishful thinking and start feeling inevitable.

🕓 Today at 4:00 PM PST

💛 If you’re on my email list, watch your inbox — the invitation is coming.

💬 If you’re not, send me a DM and I’ll personally share the link.

Come listen.
Come reflect.
Come begin believing you are already becoming the woman your dreams require.

You are so welcome here. ✨

Ever wake up feeling anxious…
before the day has even started?

Your mind is already racing.
The noise feels loud.
Your body feels on edge.

Here’s a simple tool that can shift everything — and it only takes a few minutes:

🖊️ Ask yourself this one question and write it down:

“What would I have to think and believe today to feel peace?”

Then let your brain unload.
No editing.
No pressure to get it “right.”

Something powerful happens when you give your thoughts somewhere to go.

Anxiety loosens its grip.
Clarity returns.
Peace becomes available again.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about caring for yourself.

You already have what you need within you —
sometimes it just starts with one gentle question.

Save this for a morning you need it 💛

01/22/2026

Our brains can be sneaky.

Anytime you notice the thoughts
“I have to.”
“I should.”
“I need to.”

Pause.

Those words often create pressure… and pressure quietly turns into resentment.

Try this instead:
👉 I get to.
👉 I choose to.
👉 I want to.

Same situation.
Very different energy.

When you consciously choose what you’re doing—even when it’s hard or inconvenient—you take your power back and show up as the person you want to be.

Today, notice the language your mind is using.
Then gently choose again.

It really can be that simple.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of photos from 2016…
so I decided to look back too.

What surprised me wasn’t how I looked.
It was the stories I was living from.

Not failures.
Not mistakes.
Just beliefs I hadn’t questioned yet.

Looking back now, I feel a lot of compassion for that version of me.
She was doing her best with what she knew.

Awareness didn’t change everything overnight—
but it changed the direction.

And it continues to shape how I show up today:
in my body,
in my relationships,
in my work,
and in the peace I live with now.

If you’re looking back at old photos and noticing stories you’ve outgrown,
you’re not behind.

You’re becoming.

✨ And if this resonates, the final slide shares how my Becoming course supports women in building this kind of awareness in their own lives.

Hey friend 🤍
Just checking in.

If you’ve had a week where your routine fell away…
Where moving your body felt like too much…
And that quiet, critical voice tried to tell a story about it—

Pause.

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do
is tend, not push.

Rest.
Journal.
Sit by the fire.
Be with yourself.

And then—when the moment is right—you’ll feel it.
The nudge to move again.
Not from pressure… but from readiness.

You don’t need to force the timing.
You can trust yourself to know.

Today it was movement for me.
Your “today” might look different—and that’s okay.

✨ Be gentle with yourself.
✨ Swap out the lie for the truth.
✨ Trust your inner knowing.

Save this for the days you need the reminder 🤍

01/15/2026

Some days, what you need most
isn’t to push harder…
it’s to support yourself better.

If you’ve been feeling a little tender, heavy, stuck, or unsure today,
this is your reminder that you’re allowed to get support —
in the way that actually meets you where you are.

For me, that looks like counselling that helps me gently unearth the past,
and coaching that helps me move forward toward the life I want to live.
Both matter.
Both have a place.
And together, they’ve helped me understand why certain dreams feel harder to step into — not because I’m incapable, but because something old still needs care.

You might need someone to help you look back.
You might need someone to help you look forward.
You might need support in your relationships.
Or you might just need a safe space to say what you’re carrying out loud.

Whatever it is for you today,
consider this your permission slip.

You don’t have to do it alone.
And you are worthy of the support you need —
especially on the days you forget that. 💛

Save this for the days you need the reminder.

01/15/2026

If you’re feeling a lot right now—
this is your gentle reminder 💛

Emotions don’t mean something is wrong.
They’re not here to overwhelm you or knock you down.
They’re more like waves.
Some are small. Some feel huge.
But none of them are meant to stay forever.

When we stop fighting what we’re feeling and simply notice it, the wave can move through instead of crashing over and over again.

If today feels tender, heavy, confusing—or all of the above—you’re not broken. You’re human.
And you can handle what’s here.

One breath. One moment at a time.

Sending you so much compassion today. 🤍

Thank you for the reminder 😘

✨ If you’ve been quietly watching… this is your moment.
If Becoming has been sitting in the back of your mind If you’ve saved the posts, read the emails, felt the nudge If a part of you keeps whispering, “This feels like it’s for me…”
This is your sign.

This Thursday, I’m hosting a BONUS LIVE COACHING CALL for all Becoming students — ✨ brand new ✨ halfway through ✨ long-time members who want to reconnect

And the material I’m teaching is new.

This call is about helping you become the woman you feel called to be — not by doing more, fixing yourself, or pushing harder… but by reconnecting to who you already are beneath the noise, the roles, and the expectations.

If you’re newer here, Becoming is my signature course for women who: • feel successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside • are tired of second-guessing themselves • know there’s “more” — but don’t want to burn their life down to find it

Inside the course, we work through: – your worldview – your identity (false vs true) – the stories you’ve been living from – emotional well-being – and a simple process to discern truth from the lies that quietly run your life

No hype. No pressure. Just honest tools, deep reflection, and real transformation.

👉 If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time. 👉 Join Becoming and come to the live call this Thursday. 👉 Details + access are waiting for you in my bio.

You won’t want to miss this one. Not because of me — but because of who you’re becoming.
✨
