Happy Monday Reader! There are so many types of relationships in our lives. We have close friends & family, acquaintances, coworkers, distant relatives, possibly even estranged family, and more. From the deep to the shallow, the frequent to occasional, every type has its place. But of course our deepest relationships are the most fulfilling. If you want more of those relationships, our affirmation this week will help: "I attract positive and enriching relationships into my life effortlessly." When we were kids in school, it was easy to make friends. We were stuck together all day all week after all! We had forced time & proximity together. I hear from a lot of folks these days how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. And it is hard! It takes time, effort, vulnerability, and consistency. These things may not come naturally to you. They didn't to me! It was super scary to start putting myself out there at networking events, and even now I find them draining & need more quiet time to recharge afterwards. But now I know from experience that putting yourself out there is worth it. I now have a set of entrepreneur friends and that is so helpful because owning a business is hella hard and requires a lot of specific support. And I wouldn't have had that if I hadn't started putting in the time & effort to meet those folks. To start building (or increase) our most valuable and fulfilling relationships, we repeat to ourselves 21x every day this week: "I attract positive and enriching relationships into my life effortlessly." And if that doesn't feel true yet, shoot me an email. We can set up a virtual coffee to make an action plan for you to meet people in ways that feel fun and rewarding to you. Because you won't find the time to prioritize it if it's not. 💕
Bonus: Free Weekly Training VideoOur cell phones are a tool, which means they aren’t inherently good or bad. They’re what we make of them. But they are addicting and they are compulsive. And I want YOU to be in charge of how often or how much of your time your phone steals! Check out this Live video on practical techniques to reclaim time from your phone! As always, affirmations work best when you truly believe them. They need to resonate with you and feel achievable. So feel free to modify any I suggest, or develop entirely new ones! Say them as long as you want. I'm sharing a new affirmation each week, but that doesn't mean you have to switch it up each week unless it feels right. You can add new ones as often as you want and have as many as you want. You can say a different affirmation every day, or at different times of the day. You choose! I'd love to hear the impact it has! (But if you decide affirmations are not for you, click here to be removed from this weekly email.) I hope this affirmation sets you up for a kick ass week and I'll see you next Monday for a new one to try! Ready to make time for great things in 2024?

Time is the single most valuable thing we have. I help busy business owners get out of overwhelm to work fewer hours in their business (without sacrificing income!) so they can get back to enjoying their business and their life again.
Happy Monday Reader! How familiar are you with "imposter syndrome"? Maybe you have heard the term. Maybe you understand what it means & entails....or perhaps you've even experienced it yourself. One of my favorite teams on the internet is Vital Voice Training. This duo sends amazing weekly emails about public speaking, using our voice, and unapologetically taking up space. If you've ever experienced imposter syndrome, you know how revolutionary those things can be! Their email from last week...
Happy Monday Reader! Well, last week kicked my butt! I'm still adjusting to my new schedule, and it's been more of a struggle than I expected! I didn't write out my week in my planner like I usually do, and that came back to bite me in the ass. I managed my time pretty poorly...which feels like a shameful thing to admit as your time creation coach! But as I encourage my clients to give themselves grace when they mess up, and to look at it as information, I can do the same for myself. "I am...
Happy Monday Reader! What does your body need right now? We're officially in the fall season in the northern hemisphere. The days are getting shorter. The temps are cooling down. (In the mornings, at least! It still hit high 80s over the weekend here in KC.) With all these changes, do you need to pay a bit more attention to what your body or mind is craving right now? "It is safe to listen to my body." When I get busy, it's easy to stop listening. The things that recharge me best--art,...
