Yay for March-New Month, New Opportunities

by

Happy Tuesday Dreamers!

I don’t know about you but I am so happy that we have entered a new month.  For some reason February seemed like a lay low kind of month no matter how much I wanted and needed to get done.  (Mercury retrograde possibly?)  Did you experience your fair share of setbacks too?  Well lucky for us, we are in a new month and spring is on the way! That means new growth, new opportunities, and new ways to work with me!

I was sharing on Facebook today that I am terrible keeping secrets, so I won’t even try (at least not too hard) to keep you in the dark.

Here’s what’s new.

I realize the idea of jumping into one-on-one coaching with me (or with anyone) can be an intimidating thing for many people.  The idea of sharing your deepest dreams with a perfect stranger can be a daunting thing to face especially if you haven’t really embraced the possibility that your dreams can come true.  So, I decided to create a group coaching program that I am testing with a beta group for the month of March.  This coaching option will give you a chance to learn many of the things I share in my one-on-one coaching in a group setting so it doesn’t feel so intimidating.  There will also be a way for you to connect with other dreamers so you have support not only from myself, but from others on their own dream journey.

Interested?

I will be releasing more information about the launch date, how to sign-up, and the specifics of the program in the coming weeks and I don’t want you to miss out on the details.  So, if you haven’t already done so, please sign up for my VIP List so you are the first to know!  I want to keep the group manageable to ensure each participant is getting the most out of the program so space will be limited!

Not sure you want to wait for the group program or are you interested in what individual coaching can do for you?  Contact me to schedule a coaching consultation to chat about your vision and how I can support you in creating the life of your dreams.  This session is totally free and helps you get to know me a bit to see if I am the right coach for you.  It’s also a chance for me to answer any questions you might have about the coaching process and how I work.  I believe in you and I’m ready to support you in bringing your vision to reality.

When Inspiration Fails…Or Does It?

by

Happy Friday Dreamers!

I talk a lot about following your inspiration and not questioning the feeling when you feel the need to act.  I have even stressed the point that when you follow your inspiration there tends to be something special waiting for you that ultimately leads you to the very next step.  But, what happens when the very next step you thought you were moving toward, doesn’t work out?

Did your intuition fail you?

No it didn’t. Click the video below to hear a story about my own inspired action and how I realized my intuition really didn’t fail me.


Can you remember a moment when you thought your intuition/inspiration had failed you, but you realized things turned out for the better?  If so, I would love to hear about it in the comments below!

P.S. Get ready because you are going to be seeing a lot more videos in the months to come.  Stay tuned!

Dream Changer-New Series

by

dreamchanger

I have been thinking about this series for a few weeks now and I am so excited to share with you some truly amazing fellow dreamers and achievers over the course of, well hopefully the rest of the year.  I think it’s important for anyone who is just starting out on a new goal or dream path to hear stories about others who have been where you are.  It’s not only meant to be a source of inspiration, but I hope you can take away some sage advice that can be applied to your own dreams.

So, here’s how it works.  Each week I will highlight a new dreamer and their answer to one simple question:

What is or has been your ‘Dream Changer’?

A Dream Changer can be a moment, a phrase, advice from a friend, or a feeling that changed everything in terms of your dreams.  To start us off, I am going to tell you a little about my dream changer.

If you have read my story, you know I wanted to be a life coach for a very long time, but the ‘traditional’ path I thought I needed to take just wasn’t working for me.  I felt like I was spinning my wheels trying so hard to move forward only to find I hadn’t moved even an inch.  That went on for close to 3 years.  The Dream Changer came in a few simple words from a co-worker who had just signed up to go back to school so she could do what she really wanted to do.

Her words, “Sometimes, you just have to take that leap.”

Those words hit me in my heart.  I knew she was right. That moment and those words began my path into doing what I love, my way.

Instead of following the path of another and finding a way to make myself fit the mold, I created my own path.  That was in April of 2013 and here I am not only writing about coaching, but working with clients, planning new programs, and reaching for the stars! My Dream Changer could very well be called my Dream Maker, because without those words, I might still be spinning my wheels looking for a way to fit the mold.  Luckily a dear friend and coworker shared her sage wisdom with me and I listened.

Do you have a Dream Changer or know of someone who would be great for this series?  Please feel free to contact me with their info.  I would love to highlight as many dreamers as possible in this series so others know that they are not alone in the pursuit of an amazing life.  It all starts with one step.

Have you taken that step?  Do you have a dream or passion that is burning in your soul, but you haven’t quite figured out how to make it come to life?  I am a master at untangling the web of anxiety and fear to help you realize your dreams, so shoot me an email and schedule your consultation to find out if I’m the coach for you.  If it turns out I am not, I will help you find a great fit.  It’s a win-win situation. 

Keeping Your Dreams Alive

by

dreamsalive

So you find yourself with this uber-mucho-grande dream of all dreams.  It’s a tall order and the more you envision it, the more excited you get at the possibility of it becoming reality.  All is well as long as you stay in your imagination and allow it to run wild, but at some point, ‘real life’ takes over and you start thinking about the ‘how’.

Questions flood your mind about how you will find the time, money, connections, resources, and know-how to make it happen.

It’s going to take some time, patience, inspiration, and lots of baby steps to move you toward your dreams.

So how do you keep your dreams alive while you patiently move forward?  

Boy, do I know what that’s like and it’s something I hear from my clients all the time.  When you feel like there is a bit of a standstill or specifics that need to be worked out before you can get to the ‘action’ of your dreams, then it can be hard to not allow your dreams fall by the wayside.  Real life has a way of being in our face at all times and bills, jobs, kids, family, etc. tend to take precedence.

But here is what I want you to know.

Your dreams will take some time to come to fruition, but no matter how long they take, they will happen!  All you have to do is find a way to continue to put your energy into your dreams even if it isn’t the active energy you are used to.

Lucky for you I have put together a list of 20 Ways to Keep Your Dreams Alive.  In fact you can grab your copy as a free gift for signing up for my VIP List.  (I promise you want to be on this list because I am working on a new way for you to work with me as well as some awesome free stuff that I want to get out to you in the coming months!)

Signing up for my VIP List is easy, just click here and enter your info.  I promise to keep all of your contact information safe and not to send you anything that isn’t super important or inspiring.

Do you already have some ways you keep your dreams alive?  If so, share in the comments I would love to know!

 

 

“Do It All Right Now”-Syndrome

by

In the last two weeks or so I have had many conversations with fellow dreams who have so many things they want to accomplish and either aren’t sure where to begin or just have to do it all right now. 

I can relate.medium_4242711301

I can be a bit (ahem) impatient at times especially when it comes to my dreams.  I want to help all the women in the world  make their dreams come true, but setting a goal like that is paralyzing.

It’s much easier to accomplish when you take it one step at a time.  After all, this journey is not meant to be a sprint right?  It’s meant to be the most amazing marathon (wait are marathon’s fun, I’ve never done one).  Anyways you get my point.

We aren’t here to do it all right now.  And if we were, by trying to do it all right away, we miss the magical moments and wondrous hours of pure bliss knowing we did it.

So, if you find yourself suffering from “Do It All Right Now”-Syndrome, try a few of my tips below:

    • Breathe- Take nice slow deep breaths to and focus on the moment.  If I have learned anything in yoga it is that we don’t breathe deeply enough in our day-to-day tasks, so just breathe.
    • Focus- Find one thing that you can do right now.  It’s probably going to seem small, but the size of the action doesn’t matter, remember your dreams happen with consistent inspired action and progress.
    • Meditate- I know, I know.  I say this all the time, but I promise it helps.  Take a break and re-center yourself with a meditative walk or guided meditation.  It will not only call the “must act now” vibes, but also help you clear your head so you can take it one step at a time.
    • Remember- Your path is meant to be a journey and if you are so busy moving through the moments just to get to the next you miss an entire barrage of lessons, joy, and experiences you can’t get anywhere else.  So, slow down and know that you will get to it all, but you don’t have to do it all right this very second.
