On September 4th, I had the honor of joining Anna Nichols for her Design and Align Your Business Podcast.

In this conversation, we talk about what it really takes to lead and live in alignment: the brave unraveling before the rebuild, the courage to choose your own definition of success, and the quiet, sovereign trust in your inner yes.

On September 2, 2018, we got married at a jazz club in Denver. It wasn’t traditional, and that’s exactly why I loved it. What I loved most about our wedding was that it was so “us”.  Reflecting on that day reminds me of how powerful it can be to block out the noise and choose what matters most. This is what it means to be aligned. 

this past weekend I was in Scottsdale, AZ, attending the Powerhouse Women event, and in the wake of that event, I'm somehow both ready to take on the world and completely drained (thus, the writing in bed part). 

At the event, 600 women from around the world came together for connection, inspiration, and growth. In addition to my Powerhouse Women coaching programs and masterminds I've participated in, I've attended this event for the past three years. I always walk away inspired by the women on stage as much as the women that I meet, all of whom remind me of what is possible. 

The current trend on social media where you put the quote “you look happier” on a video with additional context of why you are happy.

Have you seen it?

This week, I’m attending a Women’s Salon Dinner event where the goal is to have meaningful conversations.

There is no agenda other than connection.

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes with watching life unfold differently than you planned. Our worth is not defined by our timelines and our value is not measured by what we’ve accomplished by a certain age. 

Let’s be honest: saying no isn’t always easy. 
 But every yes costs you.
 

Today, I'm so excited to introduce you to Align Society! 🎉

This program has been on my heart for many years, and I could not be more excited to bring it to life.

I’m gonna say something that might ruffle a few feathers or might surprise you coming from a coach—your goals are too big. 

And before you abandon this post or send me your “dream big” quotes, hear me out. I want you to dream big. I want you to want all the things. I want you to succeed. But if you keep making huge goals without any plan or systems to support you, I’m afraid you won’t reach those goals you're aiming for. 

If you’re setting goals, I encourage you to ask yourself these three questions: 

This week, I'm excited to share this recent feature from Shoutout Colorado! 

Can you use your social media for good? Instead of giving up and deleting your apps altogether, here are some ways I've found to make it a healthier, more positive space. 

I had the opportunity to speak at the Executive Unschool event last week on the topic of Reinvention.

The speakers tackled the topic from every angle—reinventing your business, reinventing your brand, and reinventing yourself from the inside out.

The conversation was captured on Bree’s podcast, How Good Can it Get …

I can think back to a handful of moments in my life when I’ve felt that same uncertainty—a yearning to “reinvent” myself, to rediscover or redefine who I was.

This week, while listening to yet another episode of Armchair Expert, I found myself struck by a deceptively simple question posed by actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry … “What happens when you’re not at work?”

I had a sense of what my word was for this year, but I was having a hard time putting it into one word. So, naturally, I asked my friend Chat GPT to help me.

The transition into a new year is a natural invitation to pause, reflect, and honor the year we’re leaving behind.

2024 was amazing, and hard, and beautiful … and hard. (Yes, I said “hard” twice. Not a typo.) Through it all, I found myself holding tightly to the things that kept me steady amidst the highs and lows.
