Burn bridges as needed. OK - not really. But "don't burn a bridge" is vague, blanket advice we really need to think twice before sharing. In general the sentiment of not burning a bridge is the encouragement to keep a positive relationship and professional communication. While it's well intended advice, and I'd suggest
Experiences don’t matter if they aren’t shared... There’s a lot of talk about “everyone has a story” and "your story matters”. It's true, YOU matter and you have some experiences that were incredibly transformational. Ones that you carry into everything you do, every decision you make, and the overall way you live your
Standards & Expectations You have them. Even when they're unspoken. Standards for how certain things should be done, how we treat one another, communication, and nearly every action in life has some sort standard associated to it. It's easy to think of standards and expectations in terms of work and professional relationships. Businesses
Consistency is Key Well, that's what they say in all the self-help books and all the health and wellness content. At some point it starts to feel cliche and especially when you're struggling... annoying and frustrating. Consistency creates routine. Routine compounds small wins over time until you wake up 10 pounds lighter, fluent
What goes up... must come down. It's the law of gravity. We expect it when we throw a baseball, when confetti flies, and especially when my my husband is rough housing with our dogs. So what about life? As you keep moving forward (or up), are you holding your breath for the other
Keep it simple. The right answer and the best solution aren’t often the most complicated or complex, and there isn’t much value in something nobody understands. I’ve spent a number of years working in paid digital advertising where I would do things like write proposals, monitor and manage campaigns, and discuss performance to
What does confidence look like? How does it sound? Feel? Are you envisioning someone whose confidence you admire? Perhaps yourself? Relaxed body language, assertive voice tone, criticism acceptance, resilience and optimism, ambitious might be a few signals of what we call a confident person. Confidence is an overused term we’re great at giving
One of my closest friends has been talking a lot about the significance of obedience in her faith walk. As she digs deeper, her mantra, “delayed obedience is disobedience”, it's a stark truth that thrust her into making some (good!) hard decisions. For me, I hear that more like a warning. A big
What would happen if you... narrowed your focus gave yourself room to breathe allowed space for the silly and the unexpected said no stopped doing things out of habit or familiarity and pursued only that which fuels and energizes you? Perhaps you'd be more by simply DOING less... More energized, focused, and confident.
A different kind of tired. A different kind of tired. We’ve all been there. Drained, exhausted, our well has run dry. It’s not necessarily that we need more sleep. That could be part of it, but really at the core of the fatigue we’re feeling in this case is something more. A lack
I desire to live boldly, and man do I have a zest for life. I carry big energy, and walk with urgency. I believe with ever fiber of my being that every moment on this earth is critical because there is so much hurt, pain, sadness, and most devastating of all…loneliness. Time is a currency we can’t create, so I’m not going to spend mine in any lukewarm kind of way. For me it’s a lot more than marketing, coaching, or even story telling. It’s connection.
