When people ask me why I focus on working with mostly women, I used to apologize because I feel really bad when people are left out and I didn’t want to leave out men. #ilovemen I stopped apologizing a couple of years ago, but my energy still shrunk. And now I don’t apologize. I do work with men, and most of the people who are attracted to my work are women. I no longer say “Ignite, the women’s conference.” Ignite is my 3-day event for soulpreneurs. I don’t care if you have boy parts or girl parts, if you aren’t an asshole and you really want to change the world, then you are welcome. And this includes my transgender friends too. #weallwin #equality So why do I work with women? Until everyone has the right to their body and their education, regardless of their anatomy and body parts, I will actively support women and girls. There are many places in the world that tell you that because you have a vagina, your brain doesn’t matter. You are property. Your voice and your goals don’t matter. Your body isn’t yours. And education? You can forget about that too. We have more slaves now than ever in the history of America. When I first heard this, I thought it was #bullshit. How could that be possible? I’m talking about the sex slavery market folks. Humans being sold. In my very state of Utah. And it’s likely happening in yours too, regardless of the country you live in. By the way, this does not diminish the fact that racism still exists and...

It was not a regular Monday night. I sat there feeling stupid. I was behind. I didn’t understand. As the teacher was describing first, second, and third-person verb conjugation in Italian, I suddenly couldn’t remember what that even meant in English, let alone this language that went from being beautiful, to hard and frustrating. I wanted to run. I wanted to quit. Every time I felt stupid in school came rushing back. But I stayed. I leaned in. I practiced the words. I attempted to roll my Rs with my braces and while I’m getting much better, it was hard! When things get hard, do you run, or do you lean in? I see a lot of people run away from the power that a clear message and marketing can provide to their business because they don’t know what to do. Here’s the good news: 1) you are always closer than you think you are, and 2) with a few small adjustments, your message and marketing can make you a lot more money. Can I assist you with putting these pieces together in an intuitive and soulful way? My upcoming Business Alchemy workshop is happening online, or in person in Utah or Australia. It’s three hours together and we’ll get your message and marketing dialed in. It’s only $97 + I’m giving you access to The Money Club for a full year, a training hub for SOULpreneurs to change their relationship with money. It’s not uncommon for really smart people to run, shut down, or distract themselves with busy work, instead of leaning into the discomfort that shows up when they don’t have a crystal...

I remember when my friend Priscilla said, “I’m done chasing the dream, so I choose to LIVE it instead.” That was a couple of years ago and I still think about it because it went straight into my heart. I could so relate with that, considering the path of burning down my business in 2012. Why? Because I was chasing a dream..that wasn’t even mine. It’s what I thought I SHOULD want. Check out her giveaway that is only available through this weekend. What does chasing the dream look like? Well, here’s just one of many examples I can share: A few months back, I overheard a conversation where a mother was talking about her son’s path after high school…. “If he would just go to college and get a degree, he could be driving a BMW by the time he’s 30 and living the life.” My heart sank. I know that feeling – living into and up to an expectation that isn’t even true or real. But we think it MIGHT be real, so we hustle – only to be resentful that we followed all of the rules that promised happiness, but we’re not happy, so what the hell??? Yesterday I spent the afternoon at the spa and had a gorgeous dinner with a dear friend. It was a Thursday afternoon and I did it for no other reason that I chose to. As I was driving to the spa, I was overcome with gratitude. Tears. Full heart. Deep honor. I don’t have a million dollar business. Maybe I will some day, maybe I won’t. I haven’t lost...
