I thought I was prepared. I was wrong.

Hey there Reader! This latest Going Deeper conversation with Jen Liddy was an absolute blast to record (we decided to drop all of the professional pretense, and just talk like real friends and women going through life in today's world) and I've been getting great feedback already from those of you that it's resonating with. Apparently, Jen's not the only one who wasn't prepared for the EMPTY NEST and all of the connotations that it brought with it... “I really thought I could think my way...

Thinking it's just you? It's not.

Hey there Reader! Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who's looking back at you? Feel that wave of irrational irritation creeping in over the smallest of things? The feeling of defeat as things in your body continue to change, and nothing works the way it used to? Thinking it's just you? Turns out... It's not. When I was prepping for this Going Deeper conversation with Sam Beau Patrick, a hormone specialist of over 35 years, I asked my peer group and friends if there were any...

You don't have to be RIGHT to WRITE...

Hey there, Reader! The blank page... one of the most terrifying things I'm faced with! So many ideas... so little room for imperfection! And then analysis paralysis kicks in... or is it the dreaded writer's block? Terri Trespicio — author of Unfollow Your Passion — joined me in this latest episode of Going Deeper and dropped a wonderful Truth Bomb: There’s no such thing as writer’s block. There’s just the desire to write — and the desire to be right. If your fear of being wrong overrides...

Substack may be my new fave thing... Are you on there?

Hey there, Reader! I recently jumped into one of Terri Trespicio's New Rules Studio open sessions, and immediately regretted not doing it more often! After just 30 mins of writing with no agenda, I walked away with a buried childhood memory that gave me the exact guidance I'd been looking for that morning... as well as a renewed fire in my belly to CREATE. After the (immense, more-than-anticipated) dedicated effort of recreating the new The Growth Cycle™ from the ground up, that creative...

Do you have the air con on full blast...

I asked a client recently what her life was like before she started working with The Growth Cycle, and she laughed, and said, “the best way to describe it was like having the air conditioning on full blast, and then realizing all of the doors and windows are wide open… I was working NON-STOP, but getting no further ahead...” “I spent so much time, energy, and money doing ALL the things - therapy sessions, going on retreats, having energy work done, buying another time management planner,...

Yup, you've done the work... All of it.

🍂 November...Closing Doors Lead to New Adventures...! 🍂

"Discovery is what happens when awareness catches up to wisdom." - Kate Vanden Bos Hello, Reader! As a recovering ‘think-a-holic’, I need all of the help I can get keeping my mind here in this present moment - and just ‘being’ with my intuition! That’s why I regularly use oracle cards, alongside my Growth Cycle framework, to keep me focused on the here and now. I also use them in my client sessions as a guidance tool for what to pay attention to - in an ever-increasingly-noisy world! >> I...
