If you’ve never had this experience, I’ll be shocked… You have a vision for something you want to create. You care about it, deeply. You know it will make a difference. You know it’s yours to pursue. And then…you think about what it will take to actually make it happen and…rush of fear…it’s going to be so haaaaaard. We can absolutely be simultaneously inspired, fired up and ready to rock, while anticipating the grind ahead with heavy fear. So how to lighten the load? Especially when the work is in a territory that is charged, full of challenge and grit,

Overriding your instincts? Coaching for the Collective
Can you trust your instincts? Do you make decisions and lead your work and life from that which feels aligned with what you’re called to do? Or do you find yourself overwhelmed by the noise, people pleasing or picking up what’s not yours to carry? Meet Julia. When the pandemic struck, it became clear that the career she was embarking on wouldn’t be possible in the near future. Inspiringly, she pivoted and started her own business! Now as she builds her body of work, she’s looking to sharpen her instincts for alignment, to cut out the noise and advice of
Are you playing to the critics? New Coaching for the Collective Episode.
Are you just totally confident and comfy in certain contexts, but frozen, over-thinking and self-criticizing in others? Does it feel baffling that you can go from being in-the-flow, aligned and clear one minute to blank and blocked the next? In this episode of Coaching for the Collective, we explore the phenomenon of being able to freely jam when in conversation and relationship, but how a blank page brings forth all the demons! What if they don’t like it? What if it isn’t good enough? What if this exposes me? Are you editing your message before you even begin? Anticipating how
Future proofing your partnership? New Coaching for the Collective
This episode of Coaching for the Collective was so fun to record because I got to jam with TWO values centered entrepreneurs who are taking their friendship to the next level: Business Partners. What could go wrong, right? There are so many that caution forming business partnerships with friends or loved ones. But when done well, this can be a way to truly merge vision, values and genius to co-create something extraordinary! Not only do we cover some practical ways to future proof a partnership (which can totally apply to other relationship agreements btw!), we also explore how to embed
Does this add up? Small moves. Big vision.
Have you ever had a vision be so big that any steps you take toward it feel pale, inadequate and like they’ll never add up? Like the reality of your work, efforts, and results are in and of themselves evidence of failure or mediocrity? The enormity of what’s needed, utterly daunting? When the gap between vision and the current manifestation of things is big and when you look around at people who are carrying out such visions, such bigness, such impact, anything that’s in the shadow of that vision can seem so small. Perhaps you tell yourself, those are big
Do you need to see a finish line before you can hit your creative stride?
Has this pandemic shocked your creative system? Rhythms have changed. The world has changed. The up and downs of trying to process what’s happening alone can take all the energy! For Robyn, this extra time at home feels like she’s back in her twenties- hangin’ out, lots of time for creative projects- awesome, right? Or panic-inducing. Maybe you’re used to rolling out projects on an assembly line. Deadlines and feedback are what usually keep your creative juices flowing, and now you’re looking for a set of quarantine rules to keep you accountable and engaged. In this mini-coaching session, we explore
Got the adapting disease? Know when to disrupt.
You’ve done the training. You know your stuff. You’re called to this. But there’s something in the way. If you’ve ever felt like your sensitivity or attunement to others is holding you back from claiming your seat at the table, this session of Coaching for the Collective is for you. Meet Tui. Chameleon extraordinaire, who observes a space and can adapt herself to meet what’s needed. Do you share that adaptive superpower? At what cost? Join us as we explore the nuances of creating a business practice as an intuitive shapeshifter. We talk about finding and nurturing your own voice,
But what if I suck?
The slugs have decimated my kale and I’m pissed about it. So much effort, love and attention in setting up this little growing paradise and half the plants are gone. This is a metaphor for life, my lovely neighbour. I’m not reaching, stay with me here. Slugs are the small, inner narratives that slowly creep in when it’s dark and eat away at the parts of us that are trying to find the light and grow. They don’t start with the stems. They don’t go after that which is hardy and stable, they go after the leaves. The delicate, new growth
I can’t believe I almost got this tattoo
Several years ago, I was planning to get a massive owl tattoo on my shoulder. I’d talked myself into the meaning and significance of this bird and chosen an artist who came recommended by the server at the organic pie shop who had beautiful, vintage butterflies tattooed down her arm. Then I had an awakening. Not the kind that comes from a steady meditation practice or Ayahuasca journey. This awakening happened in the middle of Exposure Home, a basic, trendy home store on Commercial Drive in Vancouver. I saw this cool owl book end in the style I was thinking
The collapse of life and work. How are we adapting?
Balancing ‘work’ and ‘life’ right now is what one might call a ‘shit show’. I love it. Kind of. I just tried to record a video for you. Twice. Both ended when my toddler started screaming outside my office door. Actually, the first one, I just kept going, because many parents now have a new ‘work soundtrack’ and it sounds like their kids! But then my dog started barking, the distractions became intolerable and I just really wanted to be living BY MYSELF in a hotel room so I could work in peace. As I write this I can hear
