The Embodied Edge The term “playing small” gets thrown around a lot. Conceptually, it makes sense - doing less than the highest you’re capable of. But pinpointing it for yourself is tricky. I like to say it’s when fear gets wrapped in logic. Your excuses sound reasonable… but they’re really fear in disguise. As a Human Design Projector-type, I can easily spot this in others. But it’s much harder to see in myself. Thankfully, I had coffee with someone this week who pointed out not one but two...

The Embodied Edge A client once told me she was fascinated by how openly I talk about my failures. That wasn’t always me. As a recovering Type-A perfectionist, I used to hide anything that looked like a mistake. The moment that really hit home was after my first baby. We were living with my in-laws while our house was being built, and I felt uncomfortably exposed as I fumbled my way through the lessons of new motherhood. Fast forward to now: I've shared publicly about a bad investment I made....

The Embodied Edge I just got back from the Women’s Leadership Conference in Green Bay, WI. It was a few incredible days of connecting, growing, and learning. As it wrapped up, I looked around the room and realized something: a conference - no matter how inspired you feel when you leave - isn’t what creates a leader. Leaders get activated in powerful rooms, yes. But they get created after they leave. Leaders aren’t made in grand moments. They’re forged in the in-between: How they respond after...

The Embodied Edge Earlier this summer, I helped a former client celebrate the grand opening of her new office. 🍾 We started working together almost a year before. In one of our first Future Self meditations, her guides showed her in a bright, spacious office. She’d completely forgotten about that vision by the time she felt the pull to move. When I saw that detail in her notes, I got chills. Yesterday, I went to a Fire Cider–making event for another former client. 🔥 The same thing happened:...

The Embodied Edge As I navigate my move and divorce, I'm reminded of something that I've come back to over and over: Not everyone will understand. And that's okay. If all humanity operated from our highest, most soulful selves - this (and other big decisions) would be a non-issue. We'd high five and say "cool! I can't wait to see what you learn about yourself trying that out!" However - the human experience has been designed around fear-based belief systems and emotional pain that separate us...

The Embodied Edge ❗PS: The Abundant Self Mixer is this Thursday! Grab your ticket below!❗ Lately, I've been living by the saying "you choose your hard." Many women are waking up to the fact that they don't like an aspect of the life they're in. Yet starting over or building something new feels hard and scary. It feels safer and easier to do nothing. Stay the same. But I can tell you - there's nothing easy about staying in something that doesn't fit you anymore. Staying the same is also hard....

The Embodied Edge Bring a friend for half price! When I was working on bringing in more abundance to my life, my coach challenged me with this: To try on clothes I wouldn't normally try on but felt drawn to. 👗 Including ones that were beyond my typical price range. So I did! I have "pressure to buy" when I go into a small boutique store, so I experimented in a larger department store. I grabbed clothes with colors and textures I was drawn to, but wouldn't normally choose. One shirt was an...

The Embodied Edge I was getting dressed the other day. I grabbed the pair on top - the one with the big hole on the side. They were okay enough, so I kept them in rotation. But as I pulled them on (and my thumb went through the hole), I thought… why am I keeping these? I have plenty of others. I can afford new underwear. Why am I settling for holey underwear? I think a lot about how the clues in our life are doorways into our unconscious. In this case, me keeping holey underwear is a clue...

The Embodied Edge 1 month away from the Abundant Self Mixer! I am a country music OG. 🤠 I'm talking Reba McEntire on cassette tape, seeing Garth Brooks when he was playing small stadiums, country-before-it-was-cool kind of OG. These past few years, though, something's shifted. 📱 My listening time has largely transitioned from music to podcasts. 🎵 And something within me decided it's not spiritual to listen to country. I should be listening to that high vibe stuff. Yet every now and then, I...
