It’s Father’s Day in the states which brings up a lot of mixed emotions for me this time round - and it’s not just pregnancy hormones. On the one hand, I’ve got an amazing husband, the father to my babies, the man who redefined what being a dad meant to me - consistency, steadfastness, unconditional support. And on the other… I miss my dad. Take ownership and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Ideas are like chances. They are dreams to be seized. They are visions to be realized. They are possibilities to be honed, sharpened and beautified. They are money to be received. Lock in your ideas and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
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 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 have a belief. I’ll warn you…it’s quite controversial. You see, I used to have this desperate, dire fear of being wrong. GASP! NO! Say it isn’t so! From this fear-based belief, it led me down a dark and windy, lonely road to perfectionism. All or nothing. Nothing was ever good enough. 99% = Failure. Only 100% or more.

It boggles my mind when I see this come up in business - stealing customers. Gasp! Oh no, say it ain’t so! And not in a “How could someone do that to someone else?” No, no, no… It’s in a “how can someone think it’s even possible to “steal” a client?” Like, do you own them? Are you their master? And are they your slave? Because dear Lord, if we head down that road, we’re headed for trouble. Discover a mindset of abundance and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
While “influencers” with audiences, or at least follower counts way bigger than mine are broke and struggling to monetize their audience - struggling to make even 4-figures a month, let alone five...But they’ve got a FOLLOWING. And that’s the problem. Leaders inspire, create, and buy from leaders…not followers. Discover how you can become a GREAT leader instead of a good follower on the blog.
Freedom. I’ve been meditating a lot on what it means to be free. What is freedom? Freedom is many things, and like every other word, it has very different meanings to every single person. For some, they feel freedom when they feel safe. For others, they feel freedom when they can make their own choices. Discover what freedom means for you and liberate your definition from plagiarized programming to have it be 100% uniquely yours.
Feeling the feels of scarcity these past few weeks? I have. We’ve been going for a BIG goal, like a massive leap goal and in the thick of it, I feel like...I...just...keep...miss-ing. The. be-at. It feels like frustration, anger, impatience, annoyance. And I’ve realized that I need to give myself permission to just freaking be in it. Like REALLY in it. Still working. But also fully surrendering.
Right now with everything going on with the greatest civil rights movement in the history of the US - 50 states standing for justice FOR black lives matter - it feels wrong to promote anything - my business included. Do I still believe it is your social responsibility to keep selling? 💯 percent. Do I still believe that it’s essential to our economy to keep our businesses going and growing right now if you have an online-based business? ….Especially now. 10000% yes. Do I still believe that by growing your business you will be able to make MORE of a difference by being able to donate more to causes to support people of color? Absolutely. Do I still believe that by growing your business, you will be able to make MORE of a difference by creating an extraordinary, diverse, anti-racist company culture, that teaches, preaches, and lives it’s company’s values of diversity, discovery, and acceptance? YAS! YAS! YAS! Do I still believe that by growing your business, you can HIRE more people of color? 100% YAAAAAAS QUEEN. But does it still feel wrong at this moment to talk about anything other than that black lives matter? For me, yes.
Even I have days where I want to quit, where I wonder what's the f*ing point in all this work. Where I literally question EVERYTHING and want to choose the easy road, where the questions tickle my mind… Maybe I could be normal? Maybe I could just settle for another job, something that I didn't really care about and allow my art and creativity and absolutely love for what I do go to the back burner or go onto simmer? Maybe I could tone it down and not have such big dreams? Maybe I could TRY, desperately, to quiet the voice inside of me that pushes me on to do MORE, have MORE, be MORE? Because with passion for potential comes PAIN when people don’t recognize that their DREAM IS POSSIBLE.
