I used to think checking the amount owed on my student loans was extremely overwhelming. I had negative thoughts and emotions around the idea of paying them down and thought I'd be paying the minimum balance for years, just throwing my money away at interest.
Until one day, I decided I had enough...
TIME. People will argue that it’s the most important commodity in life. It slips away from us in the blink of an eye. Take my nephew for example. He’s 13 and in the eighth grade. Now, I see him at holidays and visit whenever I can, but it seems he grows an inch every time I see...
When I started working with my first coach, she advised me to start journaling. I thought it was a bit silly at first but thought “what do I have to lose?” If I wanted to create real change in my life and start reaching my goals instead of just daydreaming about them, I figured I...
What is Buffering
It’s eating mindlessly while binge watching a show on Netflix. It’s gossiping about anything and everything at work. It’s spending 3 hours scrolling Instagram because you don’t want to go to bed or wake up in the morning to go to work.

Why Your Thoughts Matter
I used to daydream about being a coach every day. Honestly, I would think about it all the time. I would think to myself, “Why can’t I just go for it? What's stopping me?” Worse, I would think “What’s wrong with me?”

UGGGGH! Another nasty gram just hit your inbox, and you’re already having an awful day!
Nothing is going as planned. You had an emergency pipe burst in Arden Pointe and have already been yelled at by 3 homeowners in Blue Ridge because the siding vendor left building materials in their...

So, how do you set boundaries to...
Are you looking for a promotion, to work less hours or to just feel a little less stressed out? I hate to be the one to say it, but whatever your goal is, the reason you’re not accomplishing it may be because you’re standing in your own way!
Stress can cause nasty overindulging...
Do you ever find yourself feeling trapped or completely burned out after work? Do you even consider quitting your job because you don’t know if you can take it anymore?
I know the feeling because I have been there. Here’s my story.
I had plans to meet friends on a...
I don’t ever claim to be perfect. I do, however, promise to practice what I preach.
Nixing a bad habit is no small feat. That’s why I believe it’s so important to celebrate every small win.
As my clients work to eliminate bad habits (scrolling, overeating, gossiping,...
We all have one: the friend who complains and worries about everything. From dissecting past encounters to forecasting all the possible ways an upcoming event can (and will) go wrong, a ruminator drains your energy. Ruminators obsess and fantasize about minute, seemingly unimportant details until...
There is a lot of noise out there as to what coaching is and what it isn’t. At first, I thought coaching was a bunch of self-helpers trying to be therapists without putting in the dedicated work of getting licensed. I figured these coaches were wanna-be influencers who had something to...
