She emphasized the importance of controlling what you can, such as work ethic, attitude, and communication. Natasha highlighted the need for transparency, trust, and clear communication to build resilience among employees. She also stressed the significance of listening to customers and maintaining trust through honest feedback. ...

Would you believe I recorded this video  message for you BEFORE Noah Lyles won his gold medal and shared this quote on X, following his performance in the men’s 100-meter final on Sunday, Aug. 4?

Maybe that’s why I absolutely LOVE what he said:

“I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression. But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become. Why Not You!”  ~Noah Lyles

As I walked along the beach in Little Compton, RI, I started contemplating success...

As we wrap up the month of June, it's important to take a moment to reflect on our journey and celebrate the successes we've achieved, no matter how small they may seem. In times of change and disruption, recognizing our progress helps us stay motivated and focused on our long-term goals.

Why Celebrate Small Successes?

1. Boosts Morale: Celebrating small wins can significantly boost morale and motivation. It's a reminder that progress is being made, even if it's incremental.
2. Builds Momentum: A...

In the last 5 years, my husband Scott and I have almost moved on several occasions, but then decided not to at the last minute.

This time was different. I could feel in my bones that it was time to take action and not look back. Our house is now going on the market this month, and I’ve been feeling a lot of emotions following the task of writing a love letter to my home, as requested by my realtor.

It made me realize how grateful and appreciative I am of this home. This home caught us when it ...

I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving break with family and friends.

I'm 100% blown away by how amazing YOU already are!

Here’s what I’m hearing though over and over again from my local and global workshop attendees... as well as those applying for my monthly subscription:

Despite all the amazing things they are doing... “I feel mediocre.”

I hear you.

I’ve felt that way too.

"What Happens When Smart People Think Stupid"

Is it possible that you have everything it takes to achieve what you yearn for and what, I believe, is already rightfully yours? Maybe the reason why you have not achieved the level of success you want and deserve is because of the limitations you place on yourself.

From an evolutionary standpoint, fear is useful. If you are in danger, fear triggers your body to release hormones that prepare you for fight or flight to get out of harm's way.
