Other People’s Opinions–Choosing the Voices That Matter

March 7, 2022

Contrary to popular belief, you can’t please everyone.  I’m not sure where this idea came from, my thought is that it developed through our social media culture and a desire to collect more likes, comments, and shares. But it’s the vanilla flavoring to life that seems to have gotten us all in trouble and feeling lost. (No offense to vanilla, I do love you combined with tea and exotic flavors!) We wa[...]

My Battle With Balance

March 1, 2022

Self-improvement, self-care, and rest are all things I’m passionate about. I talk about it a lot because I don’t think it’s talked about enough, AND I’m not always great at it myself. These last few weeks with the winter blues and too many things on my to-do list have left me feeling exhausted and overwhelmed (A feeling I’m sure I’m not alone in.) We often don’t realize it until it’s too late and[...]

Prioritizing Less–A Spring Cleaning

February 22, 2022

In the last few weeks, I’ve started to feel the shift. When all of a sudden you’re dreaming of plants in your garden, fresh produce on your plate, and longer days spent in the backyard with friends and family. We’re only in the beginning weeks of February, which for Colorado means we have three more months of winter…whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow.  After months of staying indoors and war[...]

Back on Social After 5 Months–With Limits

February 7, 2022

If you follow me on social or are on my newsletter list you'll have seen that last week I got back on social media. This doesn't mean that marketing without social has failed, it's just another experiment I wanted to try. To be perfectly honest, my business has been doing really well the last few months without social and my mental health has been doing even better. So why would I get back on? Why I'm Getting Ba[...]

I’m Out of Control–The Art of Surrendering

January 25, 2022

I’m out of control. No really, I have absolutely no control over how things turn out, what I create, how someone will respond to me, sometimes even how I’ll respond to someone else. To believe that we have any control over anything is an illusion. The last 4-weeks have been pounding this lesson into every ounce of my body.  It started with the Colorado shootings on December 27th. A former colleague[...]

What Does Self-Care Actually Mean?

January 17, 2022

I remember the moment I found out the company I worked for would be closing its doors. It was the height of Covid and the last 7-days had been the hardest I’d ever worked. I was overcome with grief that the dream of this company would come to an end and also, so much relief. The truth was, I was dying inside and my body and mind couldn’t continue on like this for much longer, I was beyond burnout. We often do[...]

How to Make Intentional Goals for the New Year

Setting Intentional Goals in 2022

January 4, 2022

As I planned for all areas of my life for 2022–self-care, community, business, creativity, etc.–I thought about how I want to go about my New Year’s goals differently this year. In the past, I’ve followed the rules about being specific. This often involved numbers. Whether that was a number of followers, an amount of revenue, or numbers of engagement. And while numbers are important, they help us to see r[...]
