The First Steps Toward True Confidence
I talk to a lot of clients who want to be more confident in their life. This is a wonderful thing, and I know I can help them take steps toward finding that for themselves. The trouble is when someone expects to become confident overnight. Like, it’s just going to magically happen for them. In all actuality, the first step toward true confidence is one you will probably have to take over and over and over again. You see, at the core, confidence is a belief in yourself. A certainty that you can do something. A certainty that you can be who you want to be. So the real question…
Stop Confusion, Now.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived my life as an indecisive person. Please don’t ask me to make a decision, I don’t want to be responsible for that! Cue anxious thoughts, and swirling mind drama! I remember agonizing in confusion over what to major in in college. It seemed like it was an impossible choice with no right answer. Eventually I had to just figure it out and pick something because I was out of time. And throughout my life, I always hoped no one would ask me where to eat! I don’t want that kind of pressure! Haha. We’ve all probably been there. Big decisions or…
How To Be More Satisfied in Life, Today!
If I only had _____ (you fill in the blank). What is that thing that you think would make you happier, more satisfied, make life easier, or more fulfilled? For me it has been many things throughout the years and it’s kinda silly looking back on it. The oldest example I can think of is pretty funny, actually. When I was a little girl, I wasn’t allowed to get my ears pierced until I turned 12. For some reason, turning 12 and getting my ears pierced seemed like a MAGIC number. “When I’m 12, I’ll be mature and responsible.” Well I turned 12, and I actually somehow convinced my parents…
How to Find Purpose in Your Job
It seems like now more than every, we want to find the ideal job. That unicorn that is everything we are looking for that will give us purpose. So how do you find purpose in the job you have, even if you don’t love your job? I have a few thoughts and ideas that may help. For years, I worked in positions that were definitely not glamorous. I was some form of a secretary, administrator, or assistant. It’s so easy to think “I’m unimportant, I don’t make a difference, my job is boring or my job is not what I want to be doing.” I’m not perfect and there were times I…
The Powerful Questions That Can Change Your Life
I don’t know about you, but sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Like you have all these ideas and dreams and goals, but what do you do about it? How do you laser focus in on something? Some of us were born knowing what we wanted to do in life, and others of us have to explore and try things out. I fall into the latter category for sure. One thing that I learned while attending a personal coaching workshop dramatically changed how I think about guiding myself through problem solving toward achieving my goals. That thing is how to ask powerful questions. What is a powerful question? A powerful question…

How to Make Your Mornings Easy
I am not a morning person. There, I said it. I’ve always been secretly envious of the people who can kick off the covers, jump out of bed, and instantly be in a joyful mood, ready to face the day. For me, I’d rather snuggy up and stay in my warm bed. Buuuut that would mean I don’t ever get anything done! Because my natural state is to NOT want to get up, I’ve created some morning routines. These can help you ease your way into your day and make your mornings easy. If you are like me and struggle to make your mornings productive, I hope these ideas will…

The stylist, Penny, that I went to used Amika products on my hair for my…
Understanding the Enneagram Basics
The Enneagram personality test is something I’ve heard a lot about in the past few years. Many people whom I admire greatly talk about have raved about it as a way to better understand yourself and relate to others. But I had a hard time understanding the enneagram basics. To be honest, I took several tests online and was very confused by all the different tests. I could never remember my “number.” I felt like the test overall only focused on negative descriptions. It was hard for me to feel connected to it or any of the results. But that all changed as I learned more about it. It all…
