Authenticity is one of my top values. It has always turned me on, inspired me and makes me feel deeply grateful to whoever takes - what can sometimes be - a risk to be true and authentic. Authenticity can be a challenge for entrepreneurs. The challenge comes when you don’t trust yourself or don’t believe that you can be who you are, do what you love AND be successful. The truth is that authenticity - being true to you and to others - is core to stepping into your greatnes

Dancing solo can be exhilarating. It can be rich and full of expression. Or it can be missing something. If you are an inspired entrepreneur, there is a dance to successfully bringing your very important work to the world. It is a dance of two, the ‘pas de deux’ of devoted calling, and of business. I’ll say more about that but first I want to share something with you. The Pas de Deux theme of this article was inspired. And I also have this “should” thing going on in

I am living in a brand new landscape as of 2 weeks ago. Yet it is the same one where I have been living for almost 2 years. It is a beautiful landscape that is home to the smaller house where I live with my partner and my dog-child Ollie, the larger house of the man who owns the property, and a nice sized pool. It is surrounded by a wooden fence that provides both privacy and a spacious view of the sky, the surrounding mountains and the beautiful trees between us and the moun

“Step into Your Greatness” is a simple — yet profound and often forgotten — spiritual imperative. Stepping into your greatness is waking up to and living from the deepest truth and authenticity of who you really are. It is the loving transformation from being at the effect of the world around you to being the conscious creator of your experience to experiencing “heaven on earth.” These Ten Commandments guide you! 1. You shall remember who you are. You are Spirit e

Almost every entrepreneur I know started their business because of a Big Dream! What is the dream, the vision and the passion that inspired you to be become an entrepreneur? For many entrepreneurs, at some point you find that you are no longer facing or feeling your Big Dream, the fire of your passion, or the light of your Vision. Instead, many of you are facing money issues, lack of clarity and feeling the stress of trying to run a business. There are reasons that this has h

Fear of standing out is really big for a lot of women. This fear can hold you back from soul satisfying success in your business, and from becoming the leader that you naturally are. The fear of standing out has other fears at its roots. Women have an innate need and desire for connection that sometimes leads to a fear of being rejected if they take up too much space, or stand in the spotlight, especially if they are authentic and express their unique ideas, opinions and thou

Have you checked your authenticity, aliveness and connection meter lately? Some years ago when I first started coaching, my passion was just that - authenticity, aliveness and connection. That’s what I wanted for everyone. I still do. I had seen many of my friends trading the precious hours of their lives for a paycheck doing work - or in a system - that crushed their individuality and dulled their senses. While I was a stress management consultant and trainer, I was surpri

Do you have any idea what a powerhouse you are, naturally? The potential energy within you alone could light up the largest city of several million people closest to you. That’s LA for me, it was Boston before. What is the one closest to you? Get that city in your mind and imagine it standing in darkness. In your imagination, make a decision to activate your potential power and light up your nearby city. Visualize the lights coming on until the city is fully lit. Isn’t it

Connection is an experience everyone yearns for. It’s also essential for stepping into your greatness, connecting with others and key to your success. It’s painful to feel disconnected. Even if you are successful by external standards, when you feel disconnected, you experience that you can never do enough, have enough or be enough. It’s like being unplugged from your power source, from what juices you and makes you feel passionate and fully alive. Greater connection is

You are probably wondering if I need to brush up on my spelling. “Greatful” is a deliberate spelling. After being immersed in coaching people to own and express their unique Greatness for a few years, I occasionally found myself writing greatful for grateful, then being unsure which was the correct spelling. So I decided on greatful as the spelling. But the real motivation behind the spelling is that it’s a constant reminder that there is greatness in gratitude. Gratitu

As a spiritually oriented woman (in business), have you ever worried that spirituality and money don’t mix? Do you cringe even reading those two words in the same sentence? Many women feel that way. Women, especially, have been trained to believe that money is not spiritual, even bad. I’ve been there. If you are concerned that spirituality and money don’t mix, you are probably unconsciously sabotaging yourself and your business financially. I’ve done this too. The tru

“Resist not evil” is a quote that has puzzled millions of people for over 2,000 years, and still does today. But what is even more puzzling and frustrating is why we resist our good. Why do we resist what we love, what we are called to do, our deepest yearnings, our biggest dreams and expressing our gifts? I love to speak in front of all sizes of groups of people, and will tell anybody that I do. It’s when I feel the most alive in my purpose, where I feel I make the big
