I used to think a new planner would fix everything

Hey [First Name], If you’ve ever convinced yourself this planner, this time-blocking method, this new app was finally going to help you stay on top of everything—same. But none of those things ever helped me stop the burnout from coming back. Because the problem wasn’t my tools. It was that I was following external routines that weren’t actually made for me. This week, I’m diving into this even deeper—talking about why burnout feels like it keeps creeping back even when you’re "doing...

calming background with title keep your success, lose the stress

Hey Reader, Burnout is not a requirement when you're in a season of building the beautiful life and work you want. Because building with anxiety & stress takes you out of clarity and safety.

burning wood on fire pit

If you're silently nodding "Uh-huh!" you're not alone Reader, One of my clients was ready to walk away from the business she built. She was like "I'm really starting to be sick of all this shit" Even though her business was profitable she was ready to burn it down. During one of our weekly coaching sessions, I helped her take a pause from making a drastic decision fueled by frustration and lack of energy. We went through each aspect of her business from her offers, marketing, processes, and...

Hey Reader, Quick check-in—but with something I’ve been working on behind the scenes that’s really close to my heart (and hopefully yours too). I’ve been building a short, bingeable audio experience—just for entrepreneurs and high-achieving women who are tired of pushing through and pretending everything’s fine. This isn’t a training.It’s not another podcast episode.It’s medicine. It’s the kind of thing I wish I had when I was spinning in stress and second-guessing every move. I’m calling it...

How I Chose Harmony Instead of Hustle March 17 - 23 1️⃣ I Let Myself Feel It — I lost a nice chunk of my income the week before last, and I won’t lie this could’ve sent me into full-on fix-it mode. Instead, I gave myself space to be frustrated, to vent, and to process my emotions instead of forcing myself to “stay positive” or move on too quickly. 2️⃣ I Gave A Compliment that Turned into A Connection – she was dressed to the NINES you hear me! Crisp pixie haircut, Valentino shoes, RL blouse,...

Hey Reader, If last week taught me anything, it’s this: the sudden loss of income isn’t the big problem — your indecision is. missed what happened? catch up here I could’ve spent the whole week pacing, overthinking, spiraling on “what ifs.”But instead, I sat with the facts, felt my feelings… and made a clear decision. 👉🏽 I decided to stop over-managing the moment and trust the next move would become obvious when I allowed space. If you're an established business owner, founder, creative or...

Hey Reader, Last Monday, just four days before my birthday, I got the news—my position at my side job was being dissolved due to funding freezes and non-reimbursed grants. In case you weren't around, I took on the position at a non-profit last summer as a way to rapidly add into my retirement fund, and reorganize my business with ease, while I recovered from major surgery. Yep. That happened. And listen, if there's one thing I know as a high-achiever and long-time entrepreneur, it’s this: we...
