Are weedy thoughts choking what you want to grow?
Ā
We're heading into winter soon so wanna tell this story real quick while it's still relevant.
So...Once a week the lawn people come and mow my yard.
And right after they mow, everything looks so good, and even, and level...
But by the next morning, inevitably, a weed has shot up out o...

When small tweaks cause major chaos
I hurt my knee earlier this week while cramming in some early morning yardwork.
You know the deal...when you think "Oh, I can just check that off the list real quick."
So out I went to do my annual fall chopping-of-the-clematis-off-my-trellis in my Adidas slides.
(i.e. not dressed parti...

Are you truly enjoying the chase?
"Find what you love and let it kill you."
To be clear, that's my dog.
She loves tennis balls. And I'm pretty sure that if she could, she'd chase them to fatal exhaustion.
The more I throw the ball, the more she runs after it.
She's huffing, puffing and panting and still running after it.....

Stop doing "stuff". Start moving forward.
Ever have times where you're like, "Dude, what am IĀ even doing?"
You spent the whole day doing stuff...but don't really know what it was.
Or you spent the whole day doing stuff...when you really should have been doing other stuff.
And at the end, all that "doing" ends up feeling like it d...

Life sabotaging what you want?
"I feel like I'm back to January 1st."
That's what a client said to me earlier this week.
"The kids are back to school and I can get back to functioning."
We like to think our personal lives don't have an impact on our work. But the reality is, it's all directly linked.
It's SO easy to ge...

How do you feel about conflict? (an honest question)
Today I'm here to ask the question: Conflict...is it really all that bad?
It doesn't feel good. That's for sure.
But it'sĀ been coming up a lot. So let's dig in.
For example in my world, recently a team member and I got on a video call (note I said video call - because we understand the va...

Which hat are you wearing today?
Ā
Coming to you today to talk about something I'm hearing from a lot of you.
I don't know if it's because kids are home from school, or because of everything going on in the world, or if it's the kind of people (the "Do Everything"-ers!) who are being attracted into my circle.
But it's this...

Do you cling to things being removed from your life?
The other day I was feeling kind of low and in a bit of chaos, and needed to get a refresh.
So I spent some time in Hebrews 10...if you're not familiar, it's one of the books in the Bible in the New Testament.Ā
For me, God's word is where I go for insight, focus and reflection. (You might go ...

Landing doesn't mean you can't relaunch
A client once sent me a testimonial, and in it they said...
"When you start a journey and you don't have direction, you may never reach your destination."
Makes sense, right?
Yet so often in business and in life, we start a journey without a direction.
We get ideas from the ether. Or a podcas...

My š½ wants to know about you
Picture this: You've had a really long day. You get home, and head down to the basement to drop some things off in your home office.
Your puppy's in the lead, and rounds the corner before you can...
...And starts barking up a storm.
You just got home. You're tired. You're hungry. And now you'r...

The secret to stop breaking up with opportunities
Ā
Have you ever struggled with confidence? Maybe in yourself, maybe even in others.
Confidence is a game changer, but just saying "believe in yourself" isn't helpful.
So how do you handle things when your confidence dips?
I'll be real.
I used to 'break up' with people. Or opportunities.
I'd b...

My clumsy gardening taught me an interesting life lesson
Ā
Feel like your life's running wild?
I have this beautiful clematis that my sister-in-love gave to me years ago.
It makes me feel pretty successful because for those who know me, I enjoy the outdoorsĀ now, but that took a lot of work.
So bear in mind that keeping plants alive isn't really my ...
