Society loves to label success as “luck” because it’s something that’s easier to digest than facing the intense grit, sacrifice and resilience it takes to achieve something big. When people see a “lucky break,” they rarely see the countless nights of self-doubt, the near-misses, the rejection emails, and the times you felt on the edge of giving up.

It took me years of navigating challenging interactions to realize that when someone behaves unreasonably or rudely, it has far more to do with them than with me.

If you truly want something, you'll find a way to accomplish it. In essence, time management isn’t the real issue; desire—or the lack of desire—is.

"Wait, you were working full-time, raising a one-year-old, pregnant with the second child, and at the same time studying to become a coach?" So said an old college friend recently. She said it with such a note of surprise in her voice, as if it were a major accomplishment.

In this post, I explore the transformative concept of "Create vs React" from Steve Chandler’s book and how it can shift your approach to challenging situations.

Have you ever felt that your self-worth is tied entirely to your job title or professional achievements? I know I have. In this post, I reflect on a personal experience and a conversation with a friend that made me realize just how widespread this issue is. We often grow up equating our worth with our successes, but is that really all there is to us? Join me as I explore the deeper meaning of self-worth and why it's time to redefine how we see ourselves beyond our careers.

The life you secretly crave won’t just find you; to achieve the numerous successes you desire in both your personal and professional spheres, you need to be proactive and vocal about your needs and desires.
