Readiness Is An Active Process
A lot of us live under the impression that we just one day arrive at being ready for whatever life is prompting us to do next. We think that eventually we’ll just get there and then we will “know”. Unfortunately this usually leads to…
Why Open Time Is The Most Undervalued Asset In Your Life & Business
One of the greatest deterrents to success is our inability to risk investing in our time. We ONLY want to give ourselves time for the things we KNOW will pay out in some specific way that we can measure. Especially as parents, we will…
![[BEFRIENDING • MY • HUNGER]
Years ago I wrote a blog about this concept while fulfilling a 21 nutritional reset program.
During the 21 days I came face to face with one of my greatest - unknown to me- fears: feeling hunger.
Until that moment I didn’t realize how uncomfortable hunger made me feel. How quickly I would rush to remedy that feeling upon the first inkling that I MIGHT be hungry. How much I would obsess over scheduling events and outings around snacks and food to avoid feeling hungry.
Can you relate?
I felt like a SLAVE to food.
Recently I decided to revisit that practice and have been allowing my body to feel full blown hunger before eating. This typically involves no snacking, way more water, and full meals.
In 3 days of this practice my body feels light, strong, and I feel a whole new awareness of my body and mind.
Such a simple practice. So valuable. You can read the blog on my site, scroll down a bit and you’ll see it.

Carried around my neck,
A reminder that I came here
Not just for me - but for you.
That I came here not just for now,
But for always.
That WE came here,
Able to serve
To uphold
To transform
With love
In love
For love.
I named you,
My beautiful team,
The Movement of Love.
So that, every action you take,
Be fueled with it
Led with it
Infused with it
Living it.
I gave you each,
My beautiful teammates,
The very sacred duty
Of walking the world
A love ambassador of the most high.
Reminding others
Of their power
Divinity
Ability
And Grace.
I lead you,
My partners,
I serve you,
My soul contracts,
I am forever in love.
May all beings be happy,
May all beings be free,
May I have the courage,
To serve them in spite of me.

![[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]
It wasn’t until I decided that feeling good in my body was more important than immediate comfort that my weight dropped.
It wasn’t until I decided to focus on my IMPACT and MISSION instead of what other people thought of me that my business exploded.
It wasn’t until I decided to stop feeling like a victim of my circumstances that my tenacity skyrocketed.
It wasn’t until I decided.
They were just decisions.
Small ones.
Big ones.
Collected, compounded, expanded.
You are just a few decisions away from a totally different life - where is your mindset?](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/1316061c476292a4454c2dc60dba8871/5DB95612/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/66344564_483061742495370_4512848941302207138_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com "[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]

![[OUTSIDER]
At birth, born with a condition that kept me from activities other kids could freely do.
At 15 came out to a family that harshly rejected me and created an environment of shame and secrets.
In my 20s chose a career path that was criticized by peers and family alike as being “beneath” me.
Outsider.
Most of my life was spent on the outside looking in.
I told myself it didn’t matter. I was strong enough. I could go at it alone. I didn’t need approval. I didn’t need anyone but me.
Until I contemplated suicide postpartum. Until I found myself holding this perfect baby in my arms and wanted to drive my car off a cliff at the same time. I could no longer tell myself I was okay alone.
This is when my life broke open. When I was sheltered in the truest love. The truest support. The truest purpose I have ever felt.
Now I get to offer this to other women daily. I get to hold them, speak life into them, cast vision over them, lead them, mentor them.
No longer outside. I welcome all of you who still feel this way. There is a different way. A stronger way.
Looking for 10 women who are ready to build community businesses that empower and uphold LOVE.
