I have a friendship-type bracelet that I never take off. Until today that is. It's from the show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and it says what Midge's bristly manager barks as a pep talk before she takes the stage: "Titsup." I didn't get it at a Taylor Swift concert, obviously. I got it at a market two years ago when I started my coaching biz, to give me the same pep talk. It has the added bonus of self-selecting my tribe. Many who notice nod knowingly as fans of the show. And others laugh because it's the first time they've heard it, and they think it's pretty cool. This morning, I woke to find all the beads scattered between the sheets. I was devastated. (I mean, I've had it for 2 years, but still!) 'No problem,' I consoled myself, 'I'll restring it.' Except I couldn't find the "I." If any of the colored beads were missing, that'd be an easy fix, but the "I"? That was pretty necessary. I combed through the sheets, the bathroom rug, the other bathroom rug. Nothing. I was officially bummed. But I couldn't let it ruin my day. So I put the beads I had and the broken string in a bowl and stopped the negative self-talk of 'Why didn't you restring that? You bought the elastic months ago!' I know the downward spiral staircase that kind of admonishment puts me on. Then I, in the inspirational words of Elsa, Let it go, Let it go... I made coffee, meditated, journaled, replied to social media comments and then, before I walked out the door, I scratched my back and felt it. A small, hard circle stuck to my shoulder blade. The "I." ‘How funny,’ I giggled. 'How poignant,' I mused. Perhaps the pep talk I needed today was not one of courage, but of individuality. In a sea of "experts" it's easy to forget that there's only one who truly knows what's right for "I" (that's not proper English, but I'm making a point). Every step of growth invites fear and doubt. I can listen to others, but I need to listen to myself more. Things get weird in my head when I don't. "I" also represents what my new, intimate group coaching program, The Inner Compass Collective, is all about. The four directions of the compass, our inner GPS, are: insight, intuition, inner authority, and identity.

I'm interrupting our regularly scheduled programming with a special announcement. Our first Coffee & Connection Call is on Tuesday, January 20th ☕️👯‍♀️ and I really hope you can make it❣️

It’s a new moon in Capricorn ♑️ on January 18.​ 🌑 New moons are for beginnings and intentions, and this one especially supports practical, grounded commitments (not just vibes—real structures, timelines, and boundaries).​ ☀️🌑The sun and moon are together in Capricorn, so themes are: long‑term goals, responsibility, self‑authority, and getting strategic about what you want this year.​ 💫Energetic invitation for you It's a beautiful night to: - Clarify 2–3 concrete commitments around self‑trust and inner authority. - Choose one structure you’ll actually use: a ritual, boundary, or habit that anchors your inner compass in the “real world” (Capricorn loves form).

Welcome to The Level Up Lounge⚡️We are so glad you're here! And because growth can be fun, the lounge is based on the gamified movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott must vanquish all seven of Ramona's evil exes to win her heart. Each victory flashes a "Leveling Up" power bar across the screen and grants Scott additional powers. In The Lounge, the evil exes are internal. They're old, adopted, and ingrained patterns, secretly and stealthily holding you back. As we defeat them, we "level up" and get more power. The love we earn is our own. Meet the 7 Evil Exes: 🗣️The Inner Critic 🤸🏼‍♂️The People-Pleaser 💯The Perfectionist 🙇🏼‍♀️The Overthinker 🏃🏻‍♀️The Hustler/Prover 🙈The Avoider 🫵🏼The Outsourcer We'll defeat them together. Start simple: - Say hi 👋 so I know you made it in. Like this: I'm from__________. Something on my bucket list is______. Share a pic of something that you love.

What we appreciate appreciates. What are we grateful for? I am grateful for my voice. In a zoom training this afternoon, someone complimented me by saying she likes it when I'm on calls for not only what I say, but how I say it. This means the world to me. That our uniqueness is seen as a gift to the world. I was talking about having agency over our lives. Being our own sovereign nation where the only ruler is us. My life works best when I'm the one directing it. When I stay true to my vision, my mission, my passion and my purpose. I know I'm here to help others do the same. This knowing is a gift I give thanks for everyday! What about you? What are you most grateful for today? What do you want more of in your life?
