i help passion-powered small + scaling business owners learn more about the power of intuition-driven decisionmaking in their lives + biz, through my weekly-ish newsletter

are you unconsciously perpetuating this in your passion-powered biz?

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...

hey, turkey club. last week i introduced you to my new website, the update of which had been almost 4 years in the making ultimately though — the timing couldn’t have been more right which doesn’t mean the timeframe hasn’t frustrated the hell outta me frustration is often both catalyst + companion in the pursuit of aligned + meaningful satisfaction, and that’s okay as an intuition-driven decisionmaking coach, it’ll come as no surprise that trusting my intuition has been crucial to the birth +...

hey, baby broccoli. been thinking about getting in on the transformation session special pricing, but not sure if it's for you? here's a peek into one client's experience that may offer some clarity — as long as you understand that these are really bespoke, personalized sessions so if this is the vibe you're going for — amazing! but if you had something else in mind, please don't think that it can't be done here. if you have ANY questions at all, you know i wanna here em in the meantime,...

hey, not-so-simple syrup. sure, intuition-driven decisionmaking sounds cute, i know — but in these uncertain, shitshow times, can it really make the cut? when you’re paring down to only the must-haves for your biz, you might be tempted to chuck work like this into your someday bucket — promising yourself that you’ll come back to it when the world (and your biz) steadies a bit and i get it. if you think of this work as “just” an extension of your self-care practice, you’re bound to bump up...

hey, chocolate cake. i often talk about honoring things like your inner wisdom, your wants, your wishes + your desires, or honoring the call to tend to your self-care but here’s the thing — my understanding of honor + the ways we’ve been traditionally taught to show it are not the same mine has little to do with respect or obligation — which doesn’t mean respect isn’t involved, or that i want you to take it lightly it’s that, for the most part, honor is shown to be a very duty-driven,...
