About

Spoiler alert: I'm a business coach who isn't obsessed with money.

Like, at all.

That's why my coaching is less about MAXIMUM CAPITALISM and more about finding the courage to use your voice, share your gifts, give up on perfectionism, and ask for help.

When you can reliably show up to the world with your gifts on display, priced for profit and laced with meaning -- you find FULFILLMENT. That's what I want you to have, no matter the number of zeroes in your bank account.

True-but-embarrassing fact: I was shamed for not loving money enough the last time I took part in a mastermind group.

Another true-but-embarrassing winner: I've had the totally scalable, no-connection-required 6-figure launch that promised to make me happy...only to feel empty and disconnected as the cash rolled in.

I've taken the classes, plopped down massive cash for the masterminds, read the biz books, listened to the podcasts, and repeatedly decided to go my own way. (I even wrote a biz book by the same title, it's right here!)

Turns out, I value connection more than cash.

It's why I prefer to work intimately with about 25 clients over the course of a year. (Nope, that's not scalable, and YUP, I'm aware of that 'flaw!')

I value what I call 'true wealth.'

That's the spot where a person has enough time, energy, AND money. The hustle-for-14-hours-a-day life isn't for me, no matter how much financial reward lies at the other end of that particular rainbow.

I value authenticity most of all. It's why I tell the truth about my life even when it hurts, it's scary, or I'm sure the internet trolls will come burn my house down.

YES PLEASE:

Honesty and truth, even when it's hard AF. Difficult conversations, growth, laughter, Springsteen, and Tommy Boy.

NO PLEASE:

Cis-het-white-passive-income-guru schemes; Facebook; billionaires; empires; referring to myself as 'busy.' Botox; diet culture; neutrals.
I used to love J.K. Rowling but NEVERMIND.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Offline, buried in a book, making art, playing with Neville, or hanging with Bear -- when I'm not coaching and writing!

i still wish...

The Book Fair would show up at my doorstep and I'd get the thrill of picking out new books like I did in elementary school. Best. Day. Ever!

Running a deeply authentic, true-to-you business is some of the most challenging work on earth.

And I'd be honored to help you do it.

Your truest work won't look or sound or smell or taste or feel like the business of anyone else on earth, so you can end up pretty fucking lonely.

That's where EVERYTHING I DO comes in.

For 12 years and counting, I've shared the deepest, messiest, loneliest, and most difficult experiences of my life and business in order to help you feel less alone in yours.

Let me love you with weekly emails, ongoing magical offers, and (CORONA VACCINE WILLING!) live workshop and retreat announcements.

HALL OF VULNERABILITIES

Um, YES ABSOLUTELY we can talk about sex and learning to be in my body after being a walking mind for 30 years! Start The Long Journey to the Body.

KEEP GOING >

Cannabis is one of the most life-saving substances I've ever encountered, but my inner Nancy Reagan had a hard time accepting this. Let me tell you about it. ;)

I've been grappling with depression for 20 years and running a business with it for 12. How do I cope and what have I learned? Read on!

12 years in, and vulnerability is still so...VULNERABLE.

Around here, authenticity means writing from the scar -- not the wound -- and sharing more than feels comfortable. Here are some of my tenderest places.

HALL OF VULNERABILITIES

Your brain is an asshole. I've been grappling with mine in public with the hopes of helping you manage yours. Let me tell you all I know about how to spot asshole brain, as well as how to outsmart it.

What's more vulnerable than talking about sex and weed and my mental health? HONESTLY? The fact that my chronic health issues have made me really, really good at time management. Get your own 3-hour work day:

I was struggling with thyroid issues that kept me in bed for AT LEAST 12 hours a day. Eventually, I got better...but only through Tiny, Annoying Progress. Lemme tell you about it!

My weekly emails are designed to delight, to inspire, and (of course) to let you know what I'm up to.

“Just wanted to take a second and tell you how much I look forward to your emails, and how, because I love me a good synchronicity, they always arrive just when I've had it up to here, and just want to go lay in the road. Not a literal road, of course, but being hugely sensitive/empathetic/increasingly psychic, staying clear and true and energized has been a challenge…and I'm exhausted. Your emails are a hit of hope. Thank you for sharing you -- it makes me a better me.”
