“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
From the moment we’re born, we’re handed a map to guide us. Family expectations, school grade minimums, career ladders. All those pre-paved paths that promise safety and success-if we just follow the rules and stay on course. But what happens when the so-called “right” path feels more like a rut? When the pre-determined version of success doesn’t quite fit your soul? Nothing. Nothing changes. You don’t grow, you don’t thrive. The world moves forward, and you? You stay stuck on a path that feels like it’s going nowhere. That’s the real tragedy. The world evolves because of trailblazers—the bold, the quiet, the dreamers who catch the faintest whisper of possibility and dare to chase it. Even if it means stomping through the underbrush, carving a new way forward, and leaving their mark. So, what fresh trail will you blaze this week? It doesn’t have to be big, sometimes a small pivot leads to extraordinary places. Tweak your morning routine to create more space for reflection or finally launch that business idea that’s been simmering in the back of your mind. What ever it may be, create your own path. Let’s make this week the one where you start leaving your mark. xox, |

Support for introverted coaches stuck in the messy middle. This time last year, I had to have a serious conversation with myself. I’d just made the decision to stop offering 1:1 client work—big move, felt right, still scary. But even after that choice, I found myself slipping into the same old pattern: Prioritizing everyone else’s business over my own. If it were a client doing that? I’d call them out—kindly but directly. I’d remind them their business deserves attention too. That their...
All month, I’ve been writing about reviewing what’s working in your business, refining your offers, and making small shifts that bring things back into alignment. And then last week? I almost deleted everything. Not metaphorically. Like… hovering-over-the-trash-icon, everything must go kind of energy. Nothing dramatic had happened. I just hit that familiar wall where everything felt off. Clothes didn’t fit right. My writing felt flat. The mirror was rude. Even my morning coffee annoyed me....
Support for introverted coaches stuck in the messy middle. Earlier in the month, we talked about what to clear out—those half-loved offers gathering digital dust. (If you missed it, catch the blog here.) This week, we’re shifting the focus:Once the clutter’s gone, what’s left that actually matters? Not what’s trending. Not what gets the most clicks.But what still feels aligned with you—the person you are now, not the one who built it two years ago during a caffeine-fueled brainstorm. This is...
