    Powerback 187: You Don't Have to Fix Everything

    It is NOT your job to fix everything!

    If you are a master fixer, meaning you see a problem, you see a situation, or someone comes to you and your first instinct is to be like, “I can do it! I can fix it! I can take on all this shit that doesn't belong to me!” Then, my friend, this week's Powerback® episode is just for you.

    Because while there is tremendous value in helping, guiding, and serving, there's also incredible power in harnessing and knowing when it's time to lean in, and when it's time to let things be still.

    We’ll go through:
    Trying to fix something can actually make things worseNavigating when it comes to wanting to fix other people’s shitWhat the instinct to fix things really isThe power of being still, surrendering, and letting things beSome questions to help you pause and reground

    Powerback 186: Get Curious about Discomfort

    Powerback 186: Get Curious about Discomfort

    Nobody wants to be uncomfortable, but what if we look at discomfort through a little bit of a different lens? What if we start thinking, “Hmm, maybe there's information in here.”

    When you start to get curious about your discomfort, that shit holds an incredible wealth of information to help guide you to the next part of your path. So, instead of running away from discomfort and instead of hiding away from change, what if we started to lean into it?

    On today's Powerback® episode, we are talking about discomfort, how to embrace it, and the types of information that it might be wanting to share with you.

    DISCLAIMER! When I talk about discomfort here, I'm not talking about situations, circumstances, people, or surroundings that are inherently unsafe. So, if you're in a place or a situation where you do not feel safe, please take this as your cue to reach out to ask for help, to get guidance.


    What happens when discomfort shows upTemporary discomfort: the space that breaks the moldThe antidote to discomfort is curiosityAn example of how I leaned into my discomfort todayThe 3 types of information discomfort is trying to communicate

    Powerback 185: Living in the Messy Middle

    Powerback 185: Living in the Messy Middle

    A lot of time, effort, emotion, feeling, logistics, and details go into making a decision, and then you finally land on it. You've chosen, you've decided, you're owning it. But everything around you is still reflecting the way that it has been, instead of the way that you envision it is going to be.

    This, my friend, is what I like to call the Messy Middle. This is the space in between time where we're not where we want to be yet, but we've left the space that we once were in. And this often requires a whole new level of diligence, patience, and action.

    So, in today’s Powerback® episode, I’m going to talk about the messy middle and give you some recommendations to help you navigate this in-between space while staying in your aligned self and vision.

    We’ll go through:
    Making aligned decisions and how that changes thingsNotice how your emotions and your actions will try to show upThe power of the being still processConnect with yourself and the bigger picture on a daily basisTake one small intentional action that helps you move forwardAligned action is also caring for yourself
    Resources from this episode

    1-1 Alignment Coaching - After 16+ years in business and working with hundreds of women + entrepreneurs, there’s one thing I know for sure: when you show up in life and business the way you want to, not the way you should, every ounce of success you desire shows up, rapidly. My coaching style combines energetic work with practical action. This isn’t a quick fix or hack – it’s the deeper work that creates forever impact. Together, we’ll make meaningful shifts, align with what you actually want, and simplify the way you build it.
