Survival Mode

Taking the seat farthest away. Scribbling notes instead of voicing ideas. Criticizing others because you’re afraid of failure. Settling for the seat even if your perspective is unwelcome.

How have we survived just to be tolerated?

Embracing visibility allows you to own your story, grow courage, and create a lasting legacy. Discover how stepping into the light can empower you and others.

Is it Time for a Life Pulse Check?

Do you take time off and still take work calls? Or constantly check your phone for texts and work emails? How about this one? Are you so busy doing but you feel like you haven’t accomplished much?

If we find ourselves in any of the previous, it might be time for a life pulse check. Your life pulse is the rhythm that sets the tone for what you experience and locks in step with what you believe, feel, and do. Your pulse could be erratic or in harmony.

Let’s check. The picture below is a wheel of life. Each area is a life category reflecting to where you spend your moments.

How to do it?

1. Review the categories. You may have to adjust a few to fit your current life. For example, your new business might replace career.
2. Second, rate the importance of each category by placing a dot or X on the number that best represents your rating. (0=not at all to 10=extremely important)
3. Connect each dot or X across the categories.

When I coach leaders, we go one step further.
4. Repeat the process, rating your level of satisfaction in each category. (0=not at all to 10=extremely satisfied)

Then see if you focus on what matters most. Are there spikes in areas you’d like to change? Or

If not, congratulations. How can you do more of it … easier?

If yes, what can you stop, start or continue to bring more alignment into your experience?

Share what your wheel looks like and let’s grow together.

Habit or Genuine?

Today I sent out “Happy New Year” gifs to friends and clients.

Was it automatic? No. Originally, those three words felt disingenuous so I searched for something more meaningful.

GIFs are really limited when searching for the right words to share. Then I thought what does “Happy New Year” really mean?

Here’s what I realized.

Happiness is more than relying on what happens. It is choosing an inner joy that shifts the environment and brings grace in tough places.

New. We have an opportunity to walk a road less traveled..show up as light. See differently as we embark on this year’s adventure.

2025. Another 365 days to create what we desire. To make new choices. To be love.

Happy New Year is my way of saying ..

I hope you experience an inside-out kind of joy that comes from love and restarts each day with intention, wisdom, truth, and empowerment.

Locked access

Needing to open a door without having the key is a frustrating experience. I remember one day I didn’t have a key and I knocked repeatedly for someone to open the door. Yelled for help! Pacedup and down. It was a sense of frustration and dread. Who will come and let me in? Why is it taking so long? Are they listening to my call for help?

Then without warning. Finally the door slowly opened.

I felt relieved!

Like I was heard

and answered.

If you’ve ever had your account blocked then you can imagine how I might react.

Frustrated
Anxious
Outside the community

For some reason, I wasn’t . I was on day 18 of the 21-day journal challenge and couldn’t post, go live, respond. Nothing.

So I decided to do what I could to address the situation then diverted my thinking to connecting to my soul’s treasure. Singing. Connecting with other forms of inspiration. Listening for wisdom and being available to be used however.

So having a blocked account was unexpected but peaceful. Hope this post inspires you to choose a different way to respond when barriers keep you from accessing help, out of places you belong, or block you from being heard.

Seek what matters most
Do what you can
Know there is a plan for you
Be led by order
Know all things are working for your good

It’s nice to be back!
