Putting your heart and soul into something and then offering it out to the world may be one of the bravest and most vulnerable things you’ll ever do. When we’re creators and service providers, collaborators and artists, feedback can fine tune our offerings and elevate our art. When we take the lead on something that matters, feedback or critique can help sharpen our sword and deepen our impact. But what happens when feedback cuts through our tender underbelly and guts us? How do we process, integrate and grieve feedback that opens old wounds or undercuts our sense of self-worth? Meet

Working from home? A survivor’s guide
Families are getting a crash course in how to work from home together with their children and before mass insanity ensues, I thought I’d drop some tips. My family has mastered this shit. I’ve run my business online with location independence since 2009. My husband also works from home, running a non-profit, going to grad school and holding the role of DDP (default daytime parent.) We have an 18 month old toddler and 12 year old and some hot tips for how to juggle. Here is all you need to know. You’re welcome. Have a solid morning ritual: We like
From Fear to Freedom
Do you feel clear on what you want but are paralyzed by fear, unable to move forward? How about figuring out how to move into new territory when you’re under-resourced? (and who isn’t under-resourced these days!?) Or do you tend to pay attention to allllllll the ways that you’re not progressing enough and forget to notice and celebrate the victories? If you want forward momentum, enthusiasm, play and joy, it’s not just going to drop from the heavens, you need to practice it. But how? We cover all of these topics in our most recent mini-coaching session that we’re now
Why is this so hard?
Whoever says change is easy is selling something. Not to be a hypocrite (since I’m definitely selling things), but I recoil at the oversimplification of what it takes to create change. The wisdo-tainment industry (ahem, personal-development space) is rampant with the bait of convenience. The 5-simple-steps-to-your-perfect-life approach can make the most committed among us feel like losers. But we’re not losers. We’re human. And humans (among many things) are a collection of habits, patterns and processing systems that repeat. So why are changing these patterns so hard? Because death. Change requires death. Death of identity. Death of habits. Death of
Fear of Expansion? When your dreams are coming for you…
Have you ever felt yourself resisting or blocking your expansion? As though the incoming success and change may threaten what’s already good and beautiful and true in your life? Fear of success is a real and common experience. Why? Because when we move into more, more will be asked of us. And life and love as we know it will change. And what if…what if…what if… Join the dear Karine Bell and me as we dive into a Mini-Coaching Session exploring the fears that bubble up in the face of next level leadership, visibility and contribution. Do you feel the
What goes when things blow?
Did you see those January memes going around? How is it January 74th already? Does anyone know if 2020 has any other months? I felt so seen. My family got sick in January and it dragged on for weeks, glommed onto February and cycled back over and over again. It became a dark comedy except the only thing that was funny about it was the relentlessness. It was like that David goes to the dentist video. “Is this real life? Will it be like this forever?” I had to put things down that I didn’t want to. In a fog
Does your strategy include the mystery?
I love strategies. I love making plans. True story: When my husband and I first started dating, I was about to head out for a five-week trip to Costa Rica and was packing a pretty full schedule. I’d suggested we open the calendar together and do a little planning. He said yes, with enthusiasm. He had me at his willingness to get into planning mode with me, but really won me over when he said “This is great, now we know all the times we’ll get to spend together.” *giggle swoon* Fast forward six years and he groans at calendar time and gives
Your gifts may be rough. Offer them anyway.
Diamonds start rough and so do our gifts. The measure of what we have to offer should not be in its popularity or ‘people getting it’ or likes or uptake. The measure of what we have to offer is by how much it’s killing us to keep it inside and who is suffering without it. My friends, I know the fears. “It’s been done before, it’s been said before, my ideas aren’t unique.” “I’ll be judged or shamed or persecuted. Or worse, I’ll be boring, irrelevant.” “It’s too noisy, people want quick fixes, success and ethics don’t mix.” “I’ll lose
My Inconvenient Holiday Miracle
I’m not here to share about the last 10 years, but what happened in the last 10 days. My holiday miracle. This miracle made time stretch out like taffy, my Christmas socks sticking to the present moment without slipping in the usual ways. Our home was bursting with guests and food and wine and music. Busy. And yet, with this miracle came a different kind of silence, stillness. Space between the moments. My mind settled, less grasping, less reaching, less distracting. Fullness came rushing in. Connections right in front of me became my whole world. I got to put down
Creative constipation? Have a message to share?
If you know you want to refine your messaging and really claim your voice but feel blocked, stopped and like you can’t get traction, this mini-coaching session is for you! Join Mary as she shares a sense of urgency to pivot into new work while being called to express her messaging. But despite feeling clear and committed, the act clarifying that messaging and sharing all of what she knows and sees and wants to offer is not coming together. Can we find a new way in to approaching this creative conundrum? Let’s find out… Would you love to take your
