Authenticity has become a bit of a buzz word in the self improvement/personal development/branding space… and it kind of pisses me off. Because a word that is so dear to me that it’s one of my core desired feelings being used as a catch phrase really cheapens the beauty, the IMMENSITY and the power of it.
So fuck that.
A lot of people find it surprising that I consider myself to be an introvert… you wouldn’t know it to chat with me. I’m not exactly SHY (see the pink hair!), and because of my theatre and improv training, I am good on my feet and handle social situations pretty well.

I’m super stoked to use this planner as a way of integrating my CDFs into my every day life.

I was one of the chosen entrepreneurs, and you can read the list here. My quote was all about leading with generosity. A large majority of my networking and promotion is done in Facebook groups where I do Q&As, and in my free consult calls. I don’t hold back info, and put relationship building before the sale. Now don’t get me wrong… sales are important. But my experience is that the more I share, the more revenue I end up bringing in.
Here’s why I think it’s important to lead with generosity…
It's been a little quiet around these parts... I've been devoting a lot of my attention to my client's projects and the retreat I'd been planning with my other business, and it's kept me away from posting here. I've missed you bunches, of course. But here's the...
This year, I decided to try something new when I was doing my planning and preparation for 2016. I chose one word to make as my theme for the year: ABUNDANCE. When I hosted Seeds of Light with Juliette from 3 Fold Balance, I sat in the Spirit realm, speaking to the...
