*Let’s pretend that peek is spelled correctly in the above image. 🙂 Knowing my Human Design was a huge revelation for my business (and my life) so much so that I have every client discover their Human Design so I can support them even better. This is NOT about fitting yourself in a box. What this IS about is identifying your energy with more clarity so you can actualize your life and business with more ease and with fewer pitfalls. During this training, Kris talked about how she can spot projectors easily when her friends have kids over to play. The projectors are the kids who are observing -checking things out. They may have the solution or idea, but until they are invited, they don’t know where there place is. This hit home for me big-time. In fact, it brings tears to my eyes as I write this because as a kid, I always wondered what was wrong with me and why I couldn’t just go into a circle of kids and make things happen. So I had fewer friends, I had smaller circles than a lot of people. Even now, I know a lot of people, but my inner circle is small. It’s only been the last five years that I’ve seen how this is a gift, and not something that makes me weird. Projectors “wait to be invited.” And then sometimes when we are invited, we say yes because it feels so good to be invited, rather than it’s something that truly aligns with our heart’s desires. If you are a projector, then hear this: your universal...

SOULpreneurs from five countries joined Shannon Hernandez and I on this training! As a natural connector, it’s easy to see how to pair people up with solutions for their life and business. I have people who tell me years after attending one of my events that the people they connected to are still people they do business with. It’s just what I do. Over the holidays this past year, after the president of the US was announced, I spent several weeks in deep thought. I was asking myself this question: what can I do to make a difference. The importance of connection, collaboration, and community came up over and over again. So I made the commitment to have more connection chats with people. After all, relationships are what a successful and sustainable business are built upon. But as a natural connector, I’ve been burned out by a lack of reciprocal connections or even thank-yous. The other challenge I’ve experienced with connection chats as I call them, or potential JV chats is the lack of reciprocity in how we can support each other. Over the years, I have done a lot of introductions and connections and not received the same level of effort. My primary love language is Words of Affirmation, so I know that not receiving a thank-you for the connections I make probably makes a bigger impact on me. Additionally, as a connector one of the shadows is you are so busy doing all of the connecting, you aren’t building your own business. It can be common to do the connecting but not receive anything back from people, even a...

First, please do your due diligence on anything you invest in your business. I’m sharing the following details to simply give some insight and possibilities of how you can run your online business without using systems like Ontraport or InfusionSoft. Secondly, when I mention ConvertKit below, I’m including my affiliate link. You do not have to use the link below and can simply google the software that I mention below. I’ve looked at many options including Click Funnels, Active Campaign, Mail Chimp, Aweber, in addition to several learning platforms to host my membership levels for my digital products. For a few years, I was with InfusionSoft. I didn’t enjoy their vibe and really didn’t like their selling tactics – I don’t believe that “every business needs InfusionSoft.” My experience with it was that it was complex and for super complex online businesses, I’m sure it made sense. I was also tired of paying a car payment for a system that I couldn’t use without a high-end VA (Virtual Assistant) or OBM (Online Business Manager). Lastly, I didn’t like the process of creating sequences. AND I fully get that with any system, if you dedicate the time to know it inside and out, it works. So after spending three years using the system, I was ready for a change. I made the switch to Ontraport. I was in heaven – it was MUCH easier for me to use. It got off to a rough start when the OBM I hired lost 8,000 of my contacts and didn’t migrate things over correctly. That was really challenging. And it was a great...

I will be sharing the stage with Elizabeth Gilbert next month in Seattle at an event called Connect: Transform What Really Matters hosted by Darla LeDoux. My eyes leak a little when I really think about this. I’m delighted, honored, and so excited to share my message about Courage. This book has changed my life. I’ve recommended it to hundreds of people and bought for close to a dozen people. Listening to it is my favorite – it’s just Liz and I doing the dishes or running errands. One of my favorite parts of the book is when she says if you aren’t creating something, you are destroying something. Our creative energy has to go somewhere and what I know is that when I’m not using that energy to create what I desire, I create a whole lotta drama and struggle in my life. When I’m not in the flow of my own life, then I am destroying part of my truth in order to live the lie that I can’t have what I really desire. When I don’t create, I justify my limitations. I have to “think” about things instead of choose IN and move. I stall out. I delay my dreams. And then I judge the hell out of myself for falling into that trap again. Damn am I grateful I do this far less often as I used to! When I’m not in the flow of my own life, I am destroying part of my truth in order to live the lie that I can’t have what I really desire. I’ve been a little obsessed with...
