Hustle, grind, crush it and all that jazz…

Hustle, grind, crush it, the early bird gets the worm and all that jazz. By all means work hard, smart, and with passion. BUT life is more than crushing it day in and day out! Here is what I know for sure. It’s not always about slaying the dragon… it’s not about…

The Whole Truth

These shoes are amazing for so many reasons… but the idea of walking in them hurts me. Kudos to those who can… I prefer a platform or wedge with sass. Yet, when I look at this picture I am drawn to it. Is this what success looks like? Maybe to some. There…

Life’s a Beach

Let’s face it, sometimes life’s a beach… and some summers are better than others. And if you live north of the 49th parallel (which a majority of Canada and Northern US citizens do) then you are well aware that summer is a short season. Summer in parts of North America is 90…

Don’t listen to what they say – you most certainly can, and should!

It’s said you can’t go back. I am here to say you most certainly can, and should, go back. If you have read Frock Off: Living Undisguised you know that life as a child was challenging. My parents struggled with even the basics in life. That said, I do have some very happy memories…

Is this what you want?

How many times have you been asked what you want only to respond with what you don’t want? The distinction between what you want and what you don’t want is one each of us must face. If you believe in the law of attraction, then you understand the importance of stating what…

Everything is Everything…or is it?

Everything is everything. Translation – it’s all good or it is as it is. No it’s not. Not all the time! How often do we say it’s all good, fine or okay when really what we feel is beaten up, freaked out, isolated or overwhelmed? I believe that when we state falsely,…

What if you have only a thousand?

What if you only had one thousand tomorrows left to live? A thousand tomorrows (1000 days) equals 2.74 years, 24,000 hours, 1,440,000 minutes or 86,400,000 seconds. What if you only had a thousand tomorrows? Would it be enough? Tomorrow is abstract – never spent and yet we bank on it, as though…

Committed or Interested

So my dear, you say you’re committed. You say you are dedicated and will do whatever it takes and yet, you waiver in the face of adversity or worse you bolt! Is this harsh? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the truth. The kind of truth that wakes you at night. Or the kind…

Women BREAKING the Rules!

I have a crush on women who move beyond their circumstances, overcome great odds, old stories, stereotypes, ageism, cultural restraints and simply put BS – Belief Systems. Being an entrepreneur can be rough, dirty, heartbreaking and taxing at times. It takes big girl panties or big boy shorts. That is why successful…

I touched a nerve!

Last month I posted a blog about the importance of being present in all we do. The importance of access, clarity, community, and accountability. Of going, growing, learning and the importance of attending live events. The blog addressed the lack of human interaction that online programs offer. They aren’t a ‘one perfect solution’…

Settle for More!

How will you remember 2016? Will it be your blessing or your curse? Of late I have seen so many social media posts about how ready people are to leave 2016 behind them, implying it was a curse. And although I have witnessed many tough and trying obstacles, I have also seen…

What’s Your Ace?

Having returned recently from one of our events, I again noticed a common thread – worth, or lack thereof. And I found myself wondering why some moments or experiences are so pivotal in our lives, that we forever accept them as truth, even when they’re holding us back and keeping us stuck.…

Just stop it!

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word ‘beget’ is a verb, and is in the top 20% of words used today. Interesting, since it has a long history.  The simple definition of beget:  to cause (something) to happen or exist. I love words that have history and substance – words that can…

Growth, Comfort & Mindset

Having a child is as real as it gets. I was a young woman when I married and became a mother. Talk about growth – I remember looking down at my baby girl and thinking her life would be different. She was, at the very least, going to have a roof over…

Happiness, opportunity, failure, success and all that jazz!

So often we are told don’t quit. Stay the course and push through it. BUT what if quitting is valid and the best option? What if quitting that thing you are doing right now is the path to happiness, success, your future, and all the possibilities? What then? How do you determine…

Are you a Social Entrepreneur Superhero?

Although there is no shortage of connection online, more than ever people are reporting a desire, and longing for more human contact – person to person, eyeball to eyeball.  Not just small talk, but beyond the superficial to deeper, more fulfilling connections.  And this, thank goodness, extends to business. With access to…

Oh those Summer Nights

Summer in parts of North America is 90 days. But what can you do in 90 days? YOU can impact every area of your life, relationship and business. Frequently, I’m asked how I manage to juggle all the balls in the air. I live a 90-day cycle and, at times, 180 days.…

YES…because it’s way more fun than NO!

Hey, do you know self-sabotage? Many entrepreneurs know her well; to me she is a she. She is cunning, powerful and undermining at times – mostly she is insecure and fears success. If I touched a nerve keep reading… Self-sabotage is the reality, truth and often the justification as to why or…
