    Don’t Forget to Make a Life: Dolly Parton’s Blueprint for Authentic Success and Soul‑Deep Balance

    In this week’s episode, I honor the incomparable Dolly Parton -  a woman whose life, legacy, and beautiful spirit shaped generations, including mine. When Dolly passed away on August 25th, the world paused. Tributes poured in from every corner of life: different beliefs, backgrounds, and identities. Everyone had something to say about her passing, and none of it was negative.  The kind of universal love that was showered on Dolly at her passing doesn’t happen by accident. It happened because she chose to live with intention, generosity, authenticity, and true joy. Today, I explore the thought that has been in my head since her passing, “Be like Dolly,” especially as it relates to how we’ve been reflecting on who we are becoming. From childhood memories of my mom’s favorite songs to the first time I watched 9 to 5 and saw women rewrite their narratives, Dolly’s influence has been a part of my story, more so than I realized until her passing. As we step into September’s growth conversation, Dolly’s wisdom feels more relevant than ever, which is why in this episode, we’ll walk through three of her most powerful teachings: rewriting your story when the road no longer fits, living on purpose with a clear sense of who you are, and building a life that honors your values instead of your busyness. These are more than just famous quotes for a T-shirt; they’re blueprints for authentic success and soul‑deep balance. If you’ve been craving clarity, courage, or a reminder that you are the author of your story, this episode is the one you need.  Dolly showed us how to make a living and make a life. Now it’s your turn. Are you ready to be like Dolly, but aren’t sure where to start?  Use this link to get started today with a free Strategy Session.

    Who Do You Want to Be by December: Why August is the Perfect In-Between

    In last week’s episode, I introduced the Buddhist concept of Bardo, or being in-between.  This week, I share why August is a true Bardo month, and what that means for you.  August is the season of the in‑between. It is a true Bardo moment where we’re suspended between what’s familiar and what’s still unfolding. This week I explore how mid‑summer transitions invite us to rethink our identity, not just our goals.  Borrowing from last week’s episode highlighting Komal Kamble’s powerful metaphors and the Buddhist concept of Bardo, you’ll learn why this month is the ideal time to pause, recalibrate, and choose the version of yourself you want to grow into.  Come with me as I describe the rainy day moment of my week that reminded me that becoming your future self often starts with one brave choice.  Whether you’re navigating career uncertainty, empty‑nesting, neurodivergent diagnosis, or simply feeling the tug of seasonal change, this episode helps you step into the next chapter with clarity, courage, and intention.  Learn more about Komal Kamble and follow her here:  https://www.instagram.com/komal_reads/ (You can also find the link to her book version of The Train Was Not Late) Ready to step into your own Next experience personalized support that meets you where you are while helping you get to where you want to be?

    You’re Not Late: Your Train, Your Timing, Your Next

    In this week’s episode, I explore this powerful truth: your life isn’t running behind schedule. You are simply on your own route, with your own departure and arrival times. This episode was inspired by Komal Kamble’s train analogy post on Instagram, along with the Buddhist concept of bardo, that I was recently introduced to by a mentor of mine over on LinkedIn. I’ll break down why waiting seasons aren’t delays, but instead they are essential in‑between spaces that shape your next chapter.  Through personal stories, mindset reframes, and real-life examples, you’ll learn how to stop comparing timelines and start trusting your own.  If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or unsure of what’s coming next, this episode offers the clarity, compassion, and courage you need to keep moving forward.  Check out the post that inspired it all: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYWV7RGDVo1/?img_index=1 Learn more about the WBDC: https://www.wbdc.org/en/ If you’re tired of not knowing what to do while in your own waiting space, ready to step into your own Next, and looking for personalized support that meets you where you are while helping you get to where you want to be, Use this link to get started today with a free Strategy Session.

    Stop Carrying What Isn’t Yours: Rewriting Your Story Through Releasing Regret

    In this week’s episode, I share the mic with LeeAnn Webster, author of “That’s Regrettable: Releasing the Past to Fuel Your Future.” LeeAnn is on a mission to help you leverage your past into a powerful future, and she shares how you can start doing that in our conversation.  While living a life with no regrets might not be realistic, the truth LeeAnn wants you to know is that those regrets can be a portal for your transformation - if you don’t let them weigh you down and instead understand how to harness them to build the life you want to live.  Rewriting your life story doesn’t mean that we have to burn it all down and start over. It does mean that we have to let go of the narratives that no longer serve us, and learning how to reframe our regrets is a way to begin that process.  Want to learn more about LeeAnn’s Regret Release Method and try it for yourself?  Visit her website to get started.  In LeeAnn’s extensive work around regrets, she shares that around 65% of people’s regrets are centered around something that they didn’t do.  Don’t be one of them.  Book your free 30‑minute strategy session designed to meet you exactly where you are and take that first step towards your Next.

    Sailing Into Your Second Half: Steering July Toward Your Direction, Dreams, and Definitions of Success

    July is the midpoint of the year, which makes it the perfect time to pause for reflection on how far you’ve already come and look forward to where you are headed. In this week’s episode, I share the thought process that guides me in creating these episodes for you and how that process ties into how you can take advantage of one of the most powerful concepts we can use to achieve our goals.  Coming in fresh from volunteering for the historic Race to Mackinac, I use sailing across Lake Michigan as the framework for how July is a port-of-call within the calendar year, making it the perfect time to reassess your direction, dreams, and definitions of success.  I’ll also share that course correction, including a shifting of goals, can lead to unexpected wins and deeper alignment.  Most importantly, this episode is your reminder that changing your path isn’t failure; it’s freedom. Consider this your invitation to chart a new course for the second half of the year and get the support you need to sail confidently toward your destination.

    Join me for this week’s very special episode with Dr. Victoria Verlezza.  Dr. Verlezza is a multi-award-winning PhD who almost flunked out of high school, not for lack of ability, but because, as she puts it, the system wasn't built for her. She is an Autistic, ADHD, queer woman with multiple learning disabilities, who has made it her life's work to transform the system for others.  I was absolutely thrilled to have Dr. Verlezza share her story and her wisdom on the show.
