I reflect on what happened when I followed hustle-driven advice from a business mentor—and why I ultimately chose a slower, more aligned path instead. This piece explores why hustle culture confuses speed with transformation, how urgency leads to burnout, and what it looks like to build a business rooted in nervous-system safety, integrity, and sustainable success.

I share how a simple practice—looking for bright green cars—helped me understand the power of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how our focus shapes what we notice. By training my mind to look for opportunities instead of problems, I started spotting more aligned collaborations, content ideas, and client insights. This reflection explores how shifting your attention can transform your business, your creativity, and the way opportunities show up for you.

After a full and exhausting holiday weekend, I found myself craving slowness instead of the “finish strong” pressure everywhere online. So I let myself unwind — literally — spending 90 peaceful minutes untangling yarn and settling my nervous system. That intentional pause reminded me that clarity doesn’t come from hustling; it comes from space, softness, and listening. By opting out of urgency, I made room for a new offer, fresh strategic clarity, and a renewed sense of direction as the year closes.

In this piece, I share how my life felt chaotic—sick kids, derailed plans, big emotions—while my business aligned in the most unexpected ways. I explore why creative work has its own timing, how to stay open to opportunities even in messy seasons, and why supportive structure matters for intuitive entrepreneurs

I’ve learned that saying a clear, kind no is one of the most powerful tools in my life and business. In this post, I share a story from a fairy princess birthday party that reminded me how much freedom, clarity, and energy come from setting boundaries. Saying no protects my yes, keeps my schedule and energy aligned, and allows me to focus on opportunities that truly light me up. I also show how I guide members inside the Chakra Path to Consistent Premium Clients to say no confidently, attract aligned opportunities, and build a business that flows with ease rather than overextension.

I’ve been having the same conversation again and again—with brilliant, heart-centered practitioners who are so good at what they do… and still struggling to build a business that supports them back. If you’ve ever felt inconsistent, underpaid, or unsure how to talk about your work without feeling salesy, this is for you. I created The Chakra Path to Consistent Premium Clients to help spiritual and wellness entrepreneurs find the clarity, structure, and confidence that make steady growth feel easeful—and deeply aligned.

Imagine this: a solo road trip in torrential rain, two nights in a tiny hotel room, and one long mastermind day with three other entrepreneurs — a table scattered with crystals, tortilla chips, and so. many. beverages. We talked until our voices went soft, laughed until we cried, and somehow figured out the exact next move for each of our businesses. It felt like a secret passed around the table.

At the start of the year, my spirit guides told me something wild: your business has chakras—just like you. I argued (naturally), then asked them to prove it. What happened next completely changed how I see business energy. In this post, I’m sharing how I learned to read the energy body of a business—and why this practice is unlocking clarity and flow for my clients across every industry.

Four years in business — and wow, what a ride. As I celebrate this milestone, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about visibility that actually feels good.

Plus… yes, birthday gifts are involved. 🎁

After fifteen years of marriage, I’ve learned that love doesn’t have to be hard to be real. For so long, I equated “deep love” with “hard work.” But the truth? The healthiest, most expansive relationships — and businesses — are built on ease, freedom, and trust. In this letter, I share how unlearning struggle transformed both my marriage and my business.

Over the years, my photoshoots have turned into something deeper than marketing. They’ve become portals for transformation. This one cracked open a question I can’t stop asking: Who do I get to become to lead my favorite version of my business?
