don’t “fun” yourself out of this, bloom…

hey, shredded wheat. i was on a monthly20 call with a member of the UPRISING inner sanctum yesterday, and she was looking for support around getting grounded into her WHY — seeking what she referred to as a consistent + constant reminder of the ultimate “point” of the work she’s doing, and new perspectives around what enticing thing can keep drawing her forward right now because she knew that THAT was what would keep her acting on her big plans without getting detoured by distraction or...

hey, turkey taco. how would you rate your self-talk? if you’re not familiar with the concept, i’m talking about all the ways you think about yourself in your head — whether it shows up in clearly identifiable words, pieces of phrases, or full-blown inner monologues or it’s more of an overall feeling or energy you have toward yourself sometimes it comes through in a voice that sounds like yours, other the voice belongs to someone else in your life who, somewhere along the way, made you feel...

hey, spring roll. as we round our way to the end of Q1, you might find your energy largely focused on your biz progress + plans which is amazing. AND… in the words of TLC, now is ALSO a great time to ask: what about your friends? let’s be honest + take a quick inventory… have you been phoning in any friendships lately? so overwhelmed with work + life that maybe you’ve taken some cherished friendships for granted? or maybe you keep making plans with folks who energetically tear you down more...

hey, cilantro stem. it may be march, but have i got a ghost story for you 👻 i recently started dating someone, and it escalated quickly not in a red-flag kinda way — though you might try to fight me on that it was fun + flirty AND we talked about real things too — if you’re not in the (largely online) dating scene, you’re prolly wondering how this could be notable. all i can say is, count your blessings lol our time together was marked by a degree of thoughtfulness (until it wasn’t) that i...

hey, pistachio kernel. i had a powerful realization about my purpose in the world yesterday* when it came through to me, i at once felt both a deep lively resonance AND a wish to make it something different because it involved TEACHING and yeah, i get it if you’re a little confused because teaching is a GOOD thing, right? hell, i WAS a (middle school french) teacher for 17 years! not to mention that, as an intuition-driven decisionmaking coach i teach people every day how to trust themselves...

hey, sodapop. listen — i don’t wanna put any stress or strife ON you that’s not yours, but i DO know that a whole hell of a lot of us are struggling to stay whole, well + grounded lately while ALSO running our businesses like the passion-powered rockstars we are when i found myself mentioning my weeble analogy in two different conversations yesterday, with women on two different continents, i knew it was time to revisit it i wrote “be a weeble, not an amoeba: trusting yourself in these...

hey, baked bean. you know, there’s nothing more ire-inspiring to me than feeling like i’ve got to fit myself into boxes i was meant to break open even in that statement, you KNOW conventional wisdom wants me to strike “ire-inspiring” + just say that it angers me, or maybe even that it pisses me the eff off (you may wish i did, too) but when something sparks you like “ire-inspiring” did me, the more you try to fight it, the more futile it is + the more exhausted + discouraged you get and...

hey, bloom. popping in with a final reminder about the special offer on half-day transformation sessions that’s been extended through TODAY! if you’re feeling called but not entirely sure, hit reply + we can sort out your Qs via email or set up a quick call (i’ll honor the savings if you end up booking, even if our call happens after today!) and i was called to pull a couple cards for you, in case they hold useful guidance they’re both from decks by chris-anne donnelly (@pixiecurio on IG)...

hey, sweet onion. have you been grappling with a decision in your biz that feels very high stakes, but the “obvious” answer just doesn’t feel right? so you keep dragging your heels in order to avoid making any decision at all — which keeps you stuck in this sticky uncomfortable limbo that isn’t doing you or your biz any favors — losing out on revenue and, perhaps even more importantly, feeling like the inspiration + creativity is being sucked clean out of you — leaving you overworked,...

hey, mashed potato. the other day i was talking with a multipassionate, multitalented client who was trying to sift through options for what to do next in her biz — looking for the sweet spot of what lit her up + what the market wanted as we sorted through the possibilities (and inspired by our discussion around a card we pulled on the call), i asked her to shift focus from all the WHATs she had to work with to thoughtful consideration of the WHOs in her life who might unlock inspiring...
