We don’t talk enough about the quiet markers of health.

Grip strength is one of them.

It reflects how our nervous system, muscles, and joints work together — and it shows up in the moments that actually matter.

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about building a body that can carry you forward.

One small hold at a time.

SMART goals aren’t about doing things perfectly.

They’re about creating clarity — the kind that helps you move with ease instead of pressure.

This week, I’m breaking down a more soulful version of SMART:
one that honors your energy, your values, and your real life.

If you usually abandon goals by mid-January…
this is the series that will change that.

Supplements can be supportive —
but only when they’re intentional.

More isn’t better.
Clear is better.

I believe supplements deserve time.
Time to notice how they feel in your body.
Time to understand what they’re actually supporting.

Time to decide whether they still belong.

Not decisions made from a reel, a trend, or pressure.

I don’t prescribe supplements, and I don’t question medical advice.

What I offer is a supportive space to review what you’re already taking, understand the why, and simplify where it makes sense.

I use to support clients with practitioner-grade supplements at a discount — and for a limited time, I’m pairing that with a 30-minute clarity call to help you make sense of it all.

If supplements feel confusing or noisy right now,
DM me SUPPLEMENTS and let’s talk.

Loneliness at the Top: A Hidden Challenge for Leaders

Leadership can be profoundly lonely. A recent survey found 25% of CEOs report frequent loneliness, and over half have experienced significant isolation — especially during upheaval, crisis, or tough decisions.

The Irish Times article (Aug 15, 2025) points to two key strategies:
1️⃣ Self-care & reflection
2️⃣ Building a trusted tribe

This mirrors what I see in my work with C-suite and senior leaders.

Coaching offers what many leaders can’t find elsewhere: space to pause, reflect, and ask — Am I living in alignment with my values?

When they are, leaders notice they show up stronger for their teams, clients, and themselves.

Coaching provides:
✨ A confidential partner
✨ A mirror to realign with purpose
✨ Protection of time to think, not just react
✨ A way to transform isolation into clarity

Leadership isn’t meant to be solitary. Building your “trusted tribe” can — and should — include a coach.

Golf isn’t really about the ball. It’s about the space between swings— it’s where I try and capture the patience to stand still, breathe, and see the whole course before the shot.

Life’s the same way. Pause long enough, and you might catch the rare beauty in the stillness like when a swan mirrors perfectly in the water—
and yourself reflected in the moment.🏌️‍♂️🦢✨

It’s a practice… I’m practicing. Every. Single. Day. 😉🙃😘

Life lessons from the golf course - Day 3, but really everyday!

Play the course you’re on!

You can’t control the wind, the sand traps, or the slope, or the moss hit — only your next shot.

Life’s the same: respond to this moment, not the one you wish you had. Have a beginners mind and stay curious and positive!

When you stray from this truth, you miss the beauty that’s right in front of you and opportunity to experience life’s beauty and the places you can grow.

Sometimes the best shot isn’t the prettiest one—it’s the one you laughed your way through. (One of my many golf mantras!)

On the course, like in life, we can get so caught up in the perfect stance, the right grip, the flawless swing… that we forget the whole point is to enjoy the round.

Some days the wind is wild, the lie is awkward, or the putt is a mile long—and you’ll do better to relax, let go of “perfect,” let the joy carry you through, and be with your favorite people!

Today the theme is “Rhythm and the Rainbow.” 🌈

In golf, a steady rhythm keeps your swing smooth and your mind calm.

You swing with force it; you let the club flow naturally, shot after shot.

Life’s the same — when you move in your own rhythm instead of rushing or forcing outcomes, good things have space to appear.

And sometimes, like after the last putt when the rain clears, life surprises you with a rainbow — a reminder that beauty often shows up when you’ve played your round with patience and grace.

(I’m not perfect at this… but it’s my practice and intention)
