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.
Monday Motivation - I focus on what I can control & release the rest.

Hello Reader, Hopefully you had a chance to process any big emotions you had after the election, and to make new plans if needed. (Although it was a full moon last week, so YMMV!) Election results can be a visible and visceral reminder of how little control we have, especially at a national or global level. We do our best by casting our own vote, by campaigning ahead of time, promoting or supporting the candidates and causes we believe in, and possibly attempting to change hearts and minds around us...but in the end we can't control the outcome. So if election results--or anything else in your life!--has you feeling despair or helplessness, you definitely need today's affirmation! "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." Neither you nor I were responsible for the election results. We aren't responsible for global warming, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or systemic inequality. But these are the types of things that can keep us up at night or give us anxiety attacks. Because they certainly exist, they are certainly harmful, and there is a lot of messaging telling us we are responsible for fixing them. But trying to fix everything and everyone is a recipe for burnout. And working yourself into the ground isn't the answer. Instead, we must pick and choose our battles. And it's not cowardly, it's smart to be choosy! Being discerning about how we use our limited time, energy, and attention matters. Keeping us overwhelmed is one way toxic systems keep us powerless, and you and me? We're onto that trick. We aren't going to be distracted. We're going to stay laser focused this week by repeating 21x/day: "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." |

Hello Reader, Today is the winter solstice in the norther hemisphere, and so after this, the days will start getting longer again! Hooray!! Of course, it will be hard to tell at first. But that's the eternal tale of all change and progress, isn't it? You have to just keep going for weeks or months until you can look back and see how much is different. In honor of the darkest day of the year I wanted to offer you a couple free opportunities for learning & growth with me! If you missed my first...
Hello Reader! When we allow ourselves to slow down, we create breathing room, time, and space to evaluate our lives and work. Along those lines, I've been thinking a lot about how I want my business to look in 2025. I'm considering a pivot in my services & offerings, and I've decided to change things up here as well! I'll still be in your inbox every Monday morning with a positive message to empower your week. But there will be new surprises and treats too! It's increasingly important to me...
Hello Reader, It's the countdown to the end of the year. In my social feeds I am bombarded with two conflicting messages: the entrepreneurship crowd is pushing for finishing 2024 strong and knocking our goals out of the park. While the more spiritual or self help accounts are usually pointing out that nature slows down in the winter, so we can too, and not feel guilty about hustling less. This year, I am definitely in that latter camp! I'm heavily affected by the shorter days & colder...
