I've been in a bit of a winter in business and creativity, but I learned long ago that each season has its positives if we're able to embrace them. In this episode, I share what I've been up to lately as well as what winter, spring, summer, and fall mean in creativity and business.
We discuss the power in surrendering to each one, knowing that none will last forever, how to tell which season you're in and which is next, and how to get the most out of each season.
I hope this gives you a new way to think about creativity and to full embrace whichever season you're in—whether it's the pause and reset of winter, the sprouting of ideas in spring, the full energy of summer, or the harvest of autumn.

As I've entered my late 30s, it seems like everywhere I turn, there is another conversation around aging. I've done my best to reject a lot of the dogma that society teaches women to fear, hide or fix, but I have to do so very intentionally. In this episode are a few of the perspective shifts and reframes that make the biggest difference for me. I hope they help you learn to love your lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, sun spots, and any other signs of aging and a life well lived.

"You can tell a creature's natural habitat by what brings it back to health."
Take a fish out of water, and it's not going to last long. Ask a bird to stay land-bound, and it's going to lose its song. But put those creatures in their most natural environments, and you'll see healthy, thriving creatures. The truth is, you're not so far from nature yourself.
Nature gives us ALL clues about where we are meant to be in our careers, relationships, habits, and thoughts, by what brings us our greatest energy, strength, vitality, and health. Listen to this episode to identify what that looks like for you, just as you could with other creature of nature!

We all have different ideas about why we're here. One of mine is that our souls are here to learn or evolve in some way. In this episode, we discuss how to identify what lessons your soul may be here to learn, how to give yourself more grace as a student who's never done this before, and how to play a bigger game if these lessons are, in fact, part of why you're here and what you're meant to do. 💛

Not sharing this to minimize the discomfort, but to offer hope 🫶 So many of my best chapters came out of my questioning ones...
Feeling unfulfilled in my career led to me starting my own business. Wishing I could be like everyone who seemed to know their passion taught me how to find it (and eventually write a book on it). Heartbreaks led me to new cities...
What you’re learning now may be what you help others with one day. What you’re running up against will become the wisdom you gain. What you’re hating most may be the thing that finally makes you uncomfortable to take a risk on something better. Listen to this episode for more peace, acceptance, and hope 💛

Before I left Corporate America, I dreamt of traveling the world, becoming my own boss, and having total time and location freedom to work from anywhere I chose.

Listen to this episode top lessons learned as a digital nomad for anyone else wanting to become their own boss, travel more, or leap from their comfort zone.

This episode is a short + sweet reminder that your life is yours to edit often—and anywhere you feel limited, you can choose again.

In this episode, let's rewrite your definition of success and give yourself credit for all the ways you are utterly worthy as a human BEING and not just a human DOING.
