Read MoreToday, I encourage anyone in their own journey find a mentor, invest in a business coach, or join a business group program where the leader and the guides have achieved what you most desire. They can help you and elevate you quicker than if you were to go it alone.
Read MoreNo matter where you are in your journey, one, three, five, seven, ten years… two months in, keep going. Stay deeply committed to your goals, hopes, dreams, and what you see for your life. Pay attention to where you’re committed that isn’t in alignment and always be willing to ask the hard questions that will shine light on your truth.
Read MoreThere’s a lot going on isn’t there? I mean even as you’re reading this, you’re likely trailing off in your mind thinking, “Why am I stopping to read this? I’ve got shit to do.” Well, the good news is you’re not alone, and you’ve come to the right place!
Overwhelm used to CLAIM me (sometimes it still does). As a mom to three busy teenagers, wife, sister, daughter, and entrepreneur there is rarely, if ever a shortage of things to do. Then add to all of that, running and growing a business. Yeah…it’s a lot.
Read MoreDo you get as excited as I do to start with a clean slate? And, this can apply to anything! Like, I LOVE the crisp, clean pages of a new journal. A blank whiteboard? Hell yeah…let me at it!
But, what about when it comes to time? Does the thought of a new year, new chapter, new quarter get you all abuzz with excitement, or fill you with overwhelm and anxiety? I’m guessing you could answer with “all of the above.”

Read MoreIt was 2017, 5 years into the growth of JMG, I was in a place where the work I was taking in and providing to clients seemed elementary to my growth, experience and in demand that my clients were beginning to request. I was teetering between elevating our service experience all while what felt like scrounging either to retain current clients or find new one that had a need to some of our basic services. I was exhausted, bored and had entirely lost my motivation. My leadership was feeling halted, and my team vibe was beginning to operate in a monotonous way. I wanted more, but I also knew my company brand had been locked into this positioning that we were limited to what we could offer.
Read MoreI find myself in the woods a lot these days. Stepping back and away. I’m gifting myself more self-care, more peace, quiet, and as I do, I’m laying the foundation of my truth, my trust, and my surrender. I used to believe that my responsibilities superseded experiences, education, belonging, and pure and simple joy. No more. And I encourage you to think on this too. There is medicine in the air, in nature, in the woods, the mountains, the ocean, in getting away, in stillness. Nature never lets us down or disappoints us. And here’s the added bonus. Honoring your need for self-care creates more value to your responsibilities and gives you more space to create impact than it takes away.
Read MoreI recently posted about the seven areas in which to measure your success. Now it’s time to talk about what to do with that information so you can finish out 2021 with higher scores, in whichever area you want to improve!
Read MoreCan you look at yourself in the mirror and say honestly, “I AM SUCCESSFUL?” What does it feel like to add on the words, “...Just as I am today!”? Let me ask you… how are you defining success and how are you measuring up?
I keep hearing a lot of people say that they’re feeling a bit lost right now. With the change of seasons, a lot of us are reflecting, getting back into routines and taking some time to recalibrate. This year has been one filled with hope that was quickly followed by more uncertainty. As a result, many are unsure of what intentions to set for the rest of the year, as it seems more questions than answers loom on the horizon.
Perhaps you’re feeling this way too. If so, read on!
I see the word “vision” being tossed around rather loosely in the entrepreneurial world. It can also be a bit of an elusive term. I see it as a vital factor in staying focused, as well as determining where you’re going and how you’re getting there. So let’s break it down!
Read MoreMany of my coaching and marketing clients are taking a step back right now, looking at all they’ve accomplished this year, and evaluating the key goals they’re still striving to achieve before the clock strikes 2022. They want to know if their marketing strategy is smart and effective, and how they should best spend their time for results. My answer for where they should focus? Show up consistently for those who have already raised their hand to say they want more from you!
Read MoreIf you’re a business owner or in the entrepreneurial world, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about “masterminds.” But maybe you’ve wondered what a mastermind is really like and been curious about the value it provides. In this blog, I’m going to share about my own experience in being a part of a mastermind and the power they can offer entrepreneurs and those in leadership positions.
Read MoreI laugh as I think back to when I opened my business with littles (10 and under) that this work life balance thing would get easier when they became teenagers. HA! I guess laughter is the best medicine after all. As a business owner, you know there is a constant ebb and flow to your intention and attention, and the demands required of you present themselves in a variety of ways from a variety of people. Now toss a few teenage kids into the mix of your work/life responsibility and it is not the same as it was when they were little.
We’re nearing the end of June and about to hit the halfway marker on our 2021 goals and vision. There’s still plenty of time to achieve, but let me ask you this… What are the promises that you’ve made to yourself and in your business this year that you haven’t even gotten started on? I bet you can think of more than just a few! It’s important to get to the root of the problem with this one, and uncover what’s really holding us back, if we want to move forward. We have to dig deeper. Ask yourself how long those promises have been in place? Why are you breaking these promises? Let’s explore this - and how to stop - in this post.
After some much needed time to reflect on my business goals and leadership, as well as focus on some family transitions, I’m BACK! I’m ready to get my butt back in the seat and am here to serve with more clarity, direction, and intention than ever!
Read MoreSometimes it can feel like we’re doing this whole thing alone.
Running a business (or several,) leading a team, being a mom, being a supportive partner, and any number of other personal situations we’re all faced with throughout life.
We are committed to a lot of different people and entities.
But, to me, the commitment to yourself is most important.

Read MorePause for a moment and ask yourself if you are spending your time doing what you want.
I know not every hour of every day can be filled with doing things that are completely thrilling and fun, but I would venture to say that a whole lot more of it can be enjoyable than we are allowing ourselves to experience.
So, are you spending your time doing what you want?
