The introvert was networking! And she remembered to take photos!

Meeting business owner-friends made it easier. We jumped right into conversation and introducing new people.

Lifting each other up.

Loved seeing you with Kate Waage

Big thanks to for hosting and sponsoring.

It could not have been a prettier night to gather.

If you’re thinking about diversifying your income, taking on a side gig, exploring what would keep you more financially stable in this unstable economy, I have some thoughts!

Take a spin through these slides and let me know what you think.

The main point: be strategic and creative in a way that keeps you open.

I’m here to commiserate, brainstorm and more.

Stop into my next virtual group Strategy Session on Friday June 5 or schedule a free session on my calendar. Links to both in my bio.

What helps you get a fresh perspective?

Lately I find myself asking clients and friends if the exact opposite (of whatever they say) can be true.

Is it possible that we don’t have to make money in the strict ways we’re told we need to, or that relationships can look and feel differently?

That whatever we think we have to do a certain way can work better for us instead.

I returned to this photo I took at the fun because it feels that way.

That we shouldn’t always believe our eyes.

Things can be different and we need instead to open our minds to other possibilities.

Something to consider going into this weekend.

The best kind of business meeting: sweet treats in a light-filled space and easy, expansive conversation.

Enjoyed our time as always,

Your work empowering women investing and women owners of businesses in the $2-20M range is transformational.

Were your ears ringing, Jasmine Graham, Beth Bengtson and Laura Washington, Cristin McPeake?

We discussed investing locally to make a difference in our neighborhoods, and your organizations came up. | |

These espresso frappés were delicious. Thank you for bringing Italian delicacies to Kingston,

Apologies to all I speak with for the rest of the day as I am over caffeinated and enthusiastic. 🤩

The first step in being able to talk about money? Safety.

While not a financial expert, more of my conversations with business owners involve money because of the space we’ve created for honesty and openness.

Neither one of us need the answers in that conversation, as much as we need the willingness to say hard things.

Admit the challenge to stay afloat or to understand what it takes to succeed.

Once you can feel comfortable opening up, it feels more possible to do something about it.

Then you can build a budget or apply for a loan.

So if you’re having trouble even looking at your quickbooks, reading a P&L, or opening up your latest credit card statement, consider first finding someone you trust.

To sit with these things together.

To say hard or uncomfortable things.

And feel supported and heard.

No doubt you’ll be more able to take a step after that.

Joy post! Tell me your joys, personal and professional. We need the feed cleanse.

✨ I’ve had so many great meetings lately. Every one has given me a chance to live vicariously through other businesses. Grateful.

✨ My new website is nearly ready, just submitted final edits today!

✨ Heading back to DC tomorrow for a weekend celebrating with . I miss the place and the people so much.

✨ A couple celebrity sightings at this week, including and j9burrito who rocked. Someday maybe we can have hot dogs at together.

✨ We covered a lot during the strategy session with my Advisory Alliance members this week. Putting yourself out there. Handling tough feedback. Managing others. Can’t wait for the next one on May 1.

✨ Speaking of meetings, I reconnected with a teacher from my coaching certification 20 years ago. It’s our anniversary year! To be seen so fully again, so immediately, during our conversation is a gift.

✨ A stranger called out to me while sitting in the park, “I know dogs, and yours is adorable!” 🐾

I hope these are inspiring your own list of joys.

Please reply here, make your own list offline, or hold your hand to your heart and recite them.

Take in some good. Xoxo

Let me tell you about the support circle helping me clarify & grow my business.

This is my 20th year as a coach (!!!) and it feels like the right time for an upleveling of my work.

Behind the scenes, two of the women charting this path with me are ASHLEY | Nervous System Coach and Researcher and Kristin Reimer

Ashley has been my business coach for a number of years and took on a new role as designer of my logo, brand colors and website coming soon.

Kristin has brought her talent to capturing a number of HV Women in Business events while I was at the helm, and taking many of the photos on my current site, simplyleap.com. If you’ve seen the shots of me with my tree Addie, or when I’m throwing leaves or confetti, those are all Kristin’s.

💪Who is in your support circle?💪

We can’t do this work alone!

We need trusted advisors, colleagues and mentors to talk it through — and Take Steps. Make a decision and do the thing.

💕 I’d love for you to comment and tag some of the people formally and informally on your team. 💕

They deserve lifting up too.

Speaking of, this beautiful one-of-a-kind vest was designed by Bianca Kuttickattu of N A M A I. She doesn’t know me yet, but I’m counting her on my team.

I have a business & a job!

Last week I started working part time for behind the counter selling delicious food and beverages walkable from my home.

Why?

I admire the owner, their attention to detail and focus on flavor.

I also want to understand the food industry better because several of my consulting clients right now are restaurant owners.

Donning this apron a couple times a week feels like its own MBA.

Life classroom instead of the traditional kind.

I’m getting direct experience in pricing, customer service, margins, what it’s like having two different staffs (kitchen & counter) that need to balance each other.

More stories and lessons to come, but for now I’ll make a recommendation.

What do you want to understand better?

What’s a unique way to learn more about it?

Be creative.

Ask questions.

Surround yourself with fun people to learn from.

*Caveat that there is a lot of privilege in this choice I’ve made. You may not have the time or energy to add anything right now.

But maybe you can still ask a new question.

Tax prep pep talk from me & 🐾

As we round into April, a number of us have been avoiding, dreading this time of year.

You can do it.

You will feel stronger, more capable having looked at your finances and filled out those forms.

And know that you are not alone.

A lot of us feel the same way.

Let’s do it together!

Let me know how this tax season is going for you.

I want to hear from bookkeepers and accountants too. I also believe in you!

Best wishes everyone.
