Don’t Wait for the Diagnosis
Inspired by a powerful message from Andrew Huberman’s podcast, I reflect on the idea of living without waiting for a diagnosis. Don’t wait for life’s wake-up call to start appreciating and acting on what truly matters. In this post, I discuss how the simple advice, "Don’t wait for the diagnosis," can motivate us to take action and embrace life fully.
What are good coaching questions?
There is not book that can tell you the best coaching question to ask. Instead, I use my gut. My goal is to ask a great coaching questions to help the client learn what's the story behind the way the client is presenting what they are discussing? I want to help the client learn about their own story.
Taking Yourself on a Date: Nurturing Self-Care Through Small Acts of Love
My mom was great at knowing when she needed a break. After a long day, she’d say, "I think I need a mental health day," and take time to care for herself in a way that reconnected her to life. Inspired by this, I’ve come to think of these moments as "taking myself on a date." When we intentionally spend time alone—relaxing, reflecting, and nurturing ourselves—we create space to hear our inner wisdom. In this post, I share ideas for self-care practices to help you reconnect with yourself and embrace your worth.
The Power of Process Goals
Process goals focus on refining how you work rather than obsessing over the final outcome. By developing and testing processes, you can create a sustainable path to success that feels rewarding. Learn how to define, test, and refine your process goals for more effective and enjoyable business growth.
Process goals are a different way of thinking about working on your business. Instead of having “S.M.A.R.T.” goals that are specific measurable, attainable, , relevant, and time-bound, process goals help us work with harder to predict paths. If we are in-process, we are making progress. Refining the process is the goal.

As a culture, we don’t celebrate rest. Even when we go on vacation, it is often about the doing. What if we intentionally embraced rest for body, mind, and soul. Each might need different types of resting practices, but each aspect helps the rest. Let’s put the REST into restoration.
With Doubt Riding Shotgun, I Drive On
There are more than a million reasons why you should never do anything.
If you listen to reason and take stock in what’s at risk, it’s better to just binge-watch the latest Netflix series and go to bed early.
But what if we listen to our dream, instead of our doubt?
Uncovering Limiting Beliefs: How to Unlearn Your Learned Helplessness
The other day, I let my black lab rescue, Lola, outside without her invisible fence collar, and it got me thinking about how we all experience our own “invisible fences”—those limiting beliefs that keep us from testing boundaries. Lola has learned to stop at a certain point, even when chasing a bunny, and in coaching, I’ve seen the same pattern in people who unconsciously limit themselves. In this post, I explore the concept of learned helplessness, how it creates invisible boundaries, and how to recognize and break through these self-imposed limits.
