Growth starts with a decision to want to become a better version of yourself. It’s about putting yourself out there, trying new things, and learning from mistakes.

Growth is such a personal journey; we all have different versions and visions of what growth means to us-and that’s okay!

Managing your energy in your health coaching business is about setting boundaries and claiming what you want for yourself.

It’s important to carve out time to manage how you want your day to look, how you want to show up, and what is most important to you. 

Anytime you’re interacting with others, there’s energy you’re taking in and energy you’re putting out, and you can definitely be impacted by others’ energy and negativity.

Some of us are highly sensitive and can be more impacted by others’ energies. Do you ever walk into a room and feel the energy is off? Have you ever had a conversation with someone who complains a lot and instantly felt angry and irritable? 

Putting yourself out there on social media, podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you choose to market your health coaching business can often be intimidating, particularly when you’re just starting out.

Much of our nerves  about being visible comes from our Imposter Syndrome; our worry that we don’t know enough or thoughts like, “Who am I to be talking about holistic health or starting my own business?” We worry about failing and what others’ will think.

While it’s perfectly normal to have fears and self-doubt, the truth is we have to be visible at least to some degree in order to help others and run a successful health coaching business…

What I find so ironic about achieving our goals is that goals are defined as a desired result, so if it’s something that we want, how come upwards of 80% of people fail to achieve their new year’s resolutions?

Why the high failure rate? Lots of reasons are at play including lack of clarity, lack of support, subconscious limiting beliefs, setting goals too big or unrealistic, all or nothing/success or failure thinking, or simply “LIFE” getting in the way…

Every December as I’m planning the new year that’s quickly approaching, I love to reflect back on what the current year brought me.

2022 started out with a bang as my hubby Jim and I rang in New Year’s Eve with an epic road trip to Florida (that’s 18 hours of playing the license plate game, counting dead animals on the side of the road, and talking about the most random things like where we were when Kurt Cobain died). We had such an amazing time getting to see our dear friends who moved to Taveniere and my aunt and uncle who moved to Fort Myers…

It’s super easy to get overwhelmed building your online coaching business trying to do all.the.things and wear all the hats (hello marketer, content creator, coach, provider, graphic designer, bookkeeper, trainer, administrative assistant, social media manager, copywriter…).

That’s why being clear on your 2 most important business goals is critical. It helps you wade through your never-ending to-do list and get clear on what truly matters…

Full disclosure, I didn’t start out my professional career as a business coach; I started as a mental health therapist.

I did that for about 20 years, then pivoted to wellness coaching after extreme burnout as a Clinical Director at a mental health agency left me diagnosed with 3 autoimmune disorders.

I’m a business coach and copywriter for health and wellness coaches. I’m also a master certified wellness coach and trainer as well as a mental health therapist.

My superpower is helping my coaching clients to uncover and release their limiting beliefs (good-bye Imposter Syndrome) and inspire them to actually take action on their business building instead of staying stuck behind their computer (helping impact and income)…

A good head-to-toe health strategy is critical for everyone, regardless of age, career, or ability. Incorporating these kinds of healthy strategies into your everyday life is easier than it may sound. Let’s take a look at some of the ways you need to take care of your body and mind in order to maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle…

“There's no doubt that between the parties, after-work drinks, and mandatory family time, the festive period can be exhausting for anyone, but especially for those who value alone time. However, there are a few ways to get through the next month without burning out. Here are five tips for getting through Christmas as an introvert, because taking yourself away from all the merriment might be the best gift you can give yourself.” …

Have you EVER compared yourself to someone else and actually felt better?!?

I know I haven’t.

But I also know when I’m stuck in comparison mode, I’m always comparing myself with someone who is ahead of me; often MANY steps ahead of me. Or they have or do something I want to have or do but currently don’t. And then I feel worse…

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

You’re on a dating website and you message someone you felt attracted to and got no response. You think to yourself, “I’ll never find the right person, so why bother?”

Or, “I ate that piece of cake I wasn’t supposed to so I might as well eat the ice cream too. I’ve blown it. I’m never going to lose those last 15 pounds.” …

Have you ever walked past a colleague in the hallway and asked how she was doing and her response was, “Busy?” Or you ask a friend how their day has been and they respond with “Good, but busy!”

How do you answer this common question? Chances are you haven't given it much thought, but I bet you will start to notice now.

As I type this, I am freezing and both my index fingers are blue.

I am so over winter!

Which makes want to move to the nearest tropical island and forget about all the frosty white stuff on the ground. Who's with me?!?

Well, as much as I'd love to do that, I don't think it's very realistic for most of us, so I guess our time would be better spent on making the most of winter time…

Social anxiety has often been used interchangeably with introversion in our culture today, making those that simply recharge by more solo, quiet activities question whether their way to unwind is problematic or if it borders on having social anxiety. It can be confusing and makes knowing if or when you should get support difficult…

In today’s fast-paced society, with never ending to-do lists and endless amounts of information right at our fingertips, it’s no wonder anxiety is the most common mental health issue. Anxiety affects over 40 million Americans each year, about 18% of the population!

If you’ve ever experienced an anxiety or panic attack, then you know first-hand just how scary and unbearably frustrating they can be…
