Allowing and Taking Action

For the last few months, I’ve had this huge desire to just be by the ocean. It was hanging in the back of my mind, but I kept making excuses. “Not the right moment,” “The budget isn’t there,” “Too busy.” et cetera.. et cetera.. But lately, the feeling was getting louder. During a call with…

A Rose and A Thorn

I watched Rental Family (with Brendan Fraser) on Disney+ the other day. It’s such a touching and real film.

Loving Yourself Through Challenges

A couple of weeks ago, I facilitated a heartfelt check-in with the Project Maven community, a group of purpose-driven women leaders I hosted. It was a really nice call, reminded me that no matter our roles or titles, we are all going through challenges in life. In our call, we shared so many insights and talked about…

The Day I Decided to Become a Coach

My journey to becoming a coach started as long ago as I can remember. I recall my life being changed after I read “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” by Sean Covey in high school. But then, life kind of just happens… About seven years ago, I went through a period of depression. That…
