As you know, everything begins with choice. Consciously or unconsciously, every moment of our lives, we are making a decision - to create the future or repeat the past. Do you like what’s on repeat? If not, maybe it’s time to choose something new? Here’s what I choose... I am choosing to live an extraordinary life. Discover your choices and tap into your reign.

There have been moments - I will totally OWN it - when I have thought: "God, it would have been soooo much easier had I really started growing my business without having kids!" I would have had so much more time. I could have made so much more money. I wouldn't have had to struggle so much in the beginning. And down the woulda-coulda-shoulda rabbit hole, I would go. Own your choices and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
I was asked recently on a podcast what I think is the most insidious problem facing the world today. In one word. I said this, “BLAME.” You see, BLAME is a result. It's the effect. And it causes more shitty results. It gets you stuck in a cycle of being either the victim of your circumstances or the villain of your life, swinging the pendulum back and forth, but never actually gaining momentum forward.

I remember back before Decky was born when my business was making pittance - and by that I mean, absolutely nada - that I was living in the lap of this one luxury. No, it was not our one-bedroom apartment in Koreatown. Nor was it the fancy designer handbags and shoes I’d vigilantly saved up to buy year after year.

Every next level requires a deepening, a recommitment, a remembrance of the vision you are creating. When Spike and I first made the decision to stay in Australia, we made the commitment not knowing when we would return. He thought a few weeks I thought a few months. And here we are over one year later. I joke we packed for three weeks and are now staying for three years. Rediscover your commitments and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
Ever feel like there’s never enough money? I used to as well. Back when I first started my business I was stuck in a paradigm of “never enough.” “Never enough money.” “Never enough time.” Pure scarcity. As I started to tweak and hone my mindset, reshaping and reframing these beliefs. Money is all around you. It’s in the phone you hold in your hand. It’s the laptop you work on. It’s the person. It’s the coffee shop itself. Shift your mindset and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died. Particularly the songs, “Without You” and “Seasons of Love” - probably more so the latter since Decky loves the song because it has numbers in it. 523,600 minutes. 523,000 moments so dear. 523,600 minutes, how do you measure a year? Each one of those 523,600 minutes is a moment to LOVE. Choose to love and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
Declan‘s “trucks” really sounds it’s rhyming f-bomb. Thing is, trash trucks are currently his favorite thing on the planet. Every morning at our place in the Gold Coast we have at least three to six pass-and-collects by our giant floor to ceiling windows...beginning at 6:14 AM. And while the windows provide a world-class surround-sound experience earlier than I would like at that moment (I’m still in my quiet-hours of morning routine + getting stuff done), Declan is ecstatic, enraptured in over-the-moon jubilation over these waste vehicles. I mean, picture Mick Jagger or Tony Robbins or Lady Gaga style fandom, and that is my son - a garbage truck groupie. Unapologetic for his unabashed love of waste receptacle vehicles. And the joy he experiences...EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING....is the BEST cup of Decky you could ever have.
Who says you HAVE to feel fear right now? (And, BTW, why are you listening to them?) This isn't about the realness COVID as a disease, or that many people are losing their jobs, have lost their businesses, or that we’re in the middle of the greatest economic recession of all time, or the new hardships we’re all facing to varying degrees with #quarantinelife. This is about QUESTIONING what you're being told to FEEL in the midst of hardship. Who says you're "SUPPOSED" to feel panic? Who says you "SHOULD" feel fear? YOU FEEL WHAT YOU FREAKING FEEL. Why can’t you feel joy, love, and a deeper connection to your family right now? Who says you can’t be excited about the transformation going on both in your life and in the lives of everyone around the world? Why can’t you feel gratitude for this time of hibernation from the busy and allow yourself to create?? Who says you can't feel excited for this time of innovation and pivoting in your business? Why can’t you feel grateful for this time of worldwide service to the health of others? And, yes, I get certain life circumstances don’t always make it easy to reach for joy and faith and courage.
