Whatever the topic, today I’m sharing 5 tips for any Big Conversation in your life. I've used these tips in coaching sessions, heated discussions with family, and even in my most challenging moments as a parent.

What are the hidden, under-the-surface beliefs and thoughts that keep you from giving yourself what you need?

I’ve been walking my own path toward deeper self-trust for almost a year, and today I thought I’d share what I’ve been doing and what I’m learning.

There’s a lot I want to see changed about our world – so much, in fact. And yet, when I consider The Domino (and by that I mean, the one dominant factor that will topple the rest)? It’s self-trust.

Our cultural narrative says that hard work is king, that rest is lazy, and that to get ahead anywhere, we have to out hustle everyone else... but I’m done living strenuously, and I invite you to join me.

Not having it all figured out isn’t a sign of weakness. Not having it all figured out is a sign that you’re curious, creative, brave and resilient.

Do you know what feels restful to you? Do you do it? This isn’t just about me telling you to put your oxygen mask on first (eye roll). This is about you being able to physically, emotionally, and mentally stay healthy.

I don’t think we talk enough about the ripple effects of our decisions – about how one single choice creates long-term, life-altering impacts on our careers, on our lives, and on who we are becoming.

When you show your work – your rough ideas, your initial thinking, your first steps – you inspire people with the possibility of what you’re creating. You’re inviting them in to get excited and create the future with you.
