Be a ”Too Much” Woman
Thursday Oct 06, 2022
Thursday Oct 06, 2022
In today’s episode, I read a poem by Ev’Yan Whitney. And WOW.
How many times have you said to yourself “I am just too much _____” or “who does she think she is?”
This episode is a must-hear!
The poem is powerful and, my thought-provoking rambling after is also worth it!

If You Continue to Ignore Being Present with Yourself
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Today, I decided to record as if I were walking in the woods with my dogs.
In this episode, you get the unedited, (maybe awkward) version of my thoughts on what can happen if you are not present with yourself.
We'll also talk about what to do when you are ready to stop ignoring yourself and start being present with yourself.

Thursday Sep 15, 2022
I hope you enjoy this TBT episode- No Time Like the Present.
During this time of reflection and letting go this fall season- I thought this was a timely reminder.
Let’s take this next season together to live in our own time- not wasting our precious time, or cramming in all the things in the name of making the most of it.
There is no time like the present - This Autumn season - to be present.

Thursday Sep 08, 2022
"I just gotta push through these next couple of days" Does this sound like you?
Today, we're talking all about the high-functioning anxiety frenzy. I'm sharing what I used to do, what I've learned, and how I have shifted.
I hope you are able to listen to my story, take a few things, and reassess how you are functioning.

Make Seasonal Transitioning Your Own Thing - A Thing of Success.
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
I feel like I have 1 foot in Summer, and the other in Autumn. There are still more books on my beach read list, yet pulling on a sweatshirt for morning walks feels so good… And guess what, that is okay!
Join me today to look at different ways to continue writing your story, with pen in hand, in a way YOU are content to do so.
Seasonal living is a real thing, and I hope after listening to this episode you are more excited to make it your thing.

Balance Redefined
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
We are headed into another season - back to school (and fall!) whether we like it or not.
Where does this soon-to-be transition time find you? In the balance you have been craving?
Spoiler alert- balance is possible, but NOT in that perfectionistic way we get stuck in, or like our friend or neighbor or sister. We get to redefine what balance is to us. And, after the last season, you are ready and set to go into this next season.
Join me today to wrap this summer up in a nice, balanced bow :)

We'd love to have you join in on the conversation in our Her Unapologetic Life community!

Creativity and Success
Thursday Aug 18, 2022
Thursday Aug 18, 2022
Often, we put creativity in a box, and typically exclude ourselves from it. I used to think that because I can not free-hand draw or paint without numbers that I am not creative.
Most of the women in my life - clients, team, friends - would not claim to be “creative” or “a creative”, but I am here to tell ya they are. And, you are.
Listen in today, as I chat with you all about creativity, why we are ALL creative, and why it is so life-giving to accept that. It has a lot to do with success, actually.

Money: Blocked or Unlocked?
Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Money is something that was a taboo subject for me when growing up. It was impolite to talk about, and I was NEVER to ask anyone how much something cost or if they bought it.
We are all raised with money beliefs, the good ones, the bad ones, the ugly ones. And, I say - let’s shake it up a little, well… A LOT, and challenge that status quo.
In today’s episode, I share a few trends I see when money comes up in our thoughts and conversations that are holding us back. And, as per usual - I share some ways we can grow and expand into abundance and the ability to use the word MONEY in our daily lives.

Professional Development
Thursday Aug 04, 2022
Thursday Aug 04, 2022
Does anyone else love learning as much as I do? Today, I talk about it in terms of Professional Development. Such a fun topic for me!
The thing is, we can get so caught up in that ‘next’ thing- class, certification, training, etc. that we actually are not moving forward in professional development in a way that is life-giving and fulfilling.
Join me for this in-depth chat and let me know what you think in the Her Unapologetic Life community on Facebook :)
