Unlock Your Superpowers (No Cape Required)

Hi, ReaderLast week, I bought a new desk. It is one of those sleek, sit/stand modern ones that promises to transform your workspace into a Pinterest-worthy haven. But putting it together? A whole other story. The instructions were missing, so I was sitting there staring at a pile of parts, wondering how on earth it all fit together. It took a few hours and lots of frustration to put something together that does the job, but let‘s just say that it is not going to win any stability...

Hey there, Reader. It’s “Blue Monday,” they say—the so-called gloomiest day of the year. But who made that rule? Today’s just a blank canvas waiting for your spark. Let’s flip the script and make this Monday quietly brilliant, like you. Here’s how we’re turning the blues into a serene power boost: Savor the Small Wins Take a second to acknowledge what’s going well—big or small. Did you tackle a tricky email? Finally organize your desk? Celebrate that! Set One Tiny, Clear GoalNo marathon...

Good morning, Reader. Do you ever have those days where everything feels like a top priority? Where you stare at your to-do list and believe it was designed specifically to make you cry? And somehow, instead of taking action and tackling the list of things that “need” to get done, you end up reorganizing your pantry. I’ve been there, not even that long ago, if I am being honest. I would sit down, ready to take on the world, only to feel completely overwhelmed and eventually stuck. It seemed...

Weekly calendar on sage desk with glasses and coffee for the plan your dream work week email in coach's corner

Hey, Reader! Let’s talk about creating a workweek that works for you. You know that vision of sipping coffee while you tackle meaningful work and still having time for yourself? That’s possible. It’s time to move away from the traditional grind and get intentional about your time. As introverted entrepreneurs, we need a schedule that aligns with our energy levels. Back-to-back calls and constant multitasking aren’t sustainable. The goal is to focus on what matters most and give yourself space...

“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....

I am going to get straight to the point: 2025 is shaping up to be our year. No, not the year we suddenly start networking like a social butterfly or faking enthusiasm for extroverted strategies. Instead, it’s the year introverted online coaches, like us, redefine what success looks like—on our terms. Why? Because the coaching world is shifting, and the trends are looking pretty dang cozy for us quiet and intentional entrepreneurs. Low-ticket offers, launch-free living, and ditching those...

Happy New Year! 🎉 Week 2 of 2025 and I bet you are getting bombarded with “new year, new me” energy - well let’s skip all that because you are already pretty awesome. Look, I know January can feel like a weird mix of “I’m ready to conquer the world” and “I just want to stay in my cozy blanket fort and watch Friends reruns.” But here’s the thing–you don’t need a big overhaul to start the year strong. Sometimes, you only need small tweaks to maintain your “conquer the world” momentum. Last...

Good morning, Reader. Life isn’t easy. But who says it’s supposed to be? If you need a quiet nudge to pump you up for the year ahead, watch this video. It’s called Life is Not Easy, a highlight reel from Matthew McConaughey’s 2016 University of Houston speech. Think of it as the greatest hits album for motivation lovers. What I love about this video isn’t just the beautiful Southern accent delivering it or the lines about being true to yourself, taking the first step, and finding what truly...

What’s the weather like where you are? Here, it’s unusually warm, especially for this time of year—I’m not complaining, though. I am here for it! Inside, though, things are getting hot in a whole other way. If you recall, not too long ago, I shared a bit about my journey to embrace my introverted self in business—after years of trying to fit in in an extroverted world. The feedback from you all? Incredible. I was honestly blown away by how many of you resonated with that. Thank you for...

Clarity is in the Quiet

You know that rush of excitement when you crack open a brand-new planner on January 1st? You’re convinced this is the year you’ll drink eight glasses of water daily, master yoga, and somehow also double your business revenue. Fast forward to February 1st: that planner is gathering dust, and you’re wondering if wine counts as hydration (it doesn’t). If not, you my friend, are a magical unicorn! 🦄 Traditional New Year’s resolutions—bless their optimistic little hearts—rarely stick. Why? Because...
