The other day, I needed to buy tickets for an event. Easy enough, right? Except the app wasn’t cooperating. After a couple of failed tries, I thought, I’ll just reach out to the person who sent me the link.
But then I stopped myself.
And I’m so glad I did.
I realized right in that moment that rea...
There’s this unspoken message out there that dreaming is for the young.
That there’s a window—and if you didn’t climb through it by a certain age, well, maybe you missed your chance.
I never bought into that.
I’m still dreaming.
And I don’t plan to stop.
Maybe the dreams look a little different n...
Picture this.
You’ve finally made it through your day. Dinner and dishes are done. Another load of laundry is started. The house is quiet. And now, it's your turn to relax. You settle in, grab a little snack, just a handful of something, and then almost without thinking, your phone's in your hand.
...We don’t always notice when it happens.
One day, you’re asking yourself what you want… and before you realize it, you’re adjusting your choices based on what they might think.
Not because you’re unsure.
Not because you don’t care.
But because it’s just what we do. We keep the peace. We try to be ki...
I’ve been repeating a specific mantra to myself lately, especially on the days when I’m dragging or dreading the to-do list. It’s not a magic phrase, but it has been changing things for me in bigger ways than I ever expected.
“I get to.”
Three simple words that shift everything.
Not I have to.
No...
I’ve tried a lot of diets.
And the truth?
They all work.
Until they don’t.
Until I quit.
You know what I mean?
I’ve counted points, tracked macros, timed my meals, given up carbs, added more protein, tried fasting, swore off sugar, and even bought the matching containers. And each time, I start of...
I crawled into bed the other night, exhausted in that bone-deep way only a full day can bring.
Lights off. Sheets pulled up. Eyes closed.
And then…
Did I lock the back door?
Did I reply to that email?
I need to schedule the oil change.
What am I making for dinner tomorrow?
It’s like my brain wait...
I’ve wrapped up a lot of coaching calls in the last twenty years—but last week might go down as one of my most memorable.
We were winding down a great session. The conversation had been honest, deep, and encouraging. And just as I glanced at the blinking light of my next call ringing in… the words ...
I hadn’t planned to run into anyone that day.
I had just finished mowing for three hours. I was sweaty, flushed, and probably didn’t smell like fresh flowers. You know the kind of afternoon—where your hair’s doing its own thing and the last thing on your mind is running into someone you know.
But ...
This morning, I headed out for a walk around the farm — one of my favorite ways to start the day. The sun was just coming up, and everything felt quiet and alive at the same time. Birds calling, cows in the distance, gravel underfoot — that kind of morning. I use an app on my watch to track how far ...
Have you ever had a feeling you just couldn’t quite put into words?
You’re not sad. You’re not even overwhelmed.
But something in you feels like it’s shifting—quietly.
Maybe you’ve thought to yourself,
"What is this? Why do I feel like I’m on the edge of something I can’t explain?"
I’ve felt that ...
You know that thing you keep saying you’ll get to?
That one corner of the house you’ve walked past a hundred times thinking, “I’ll start it when I have enough time.”
The bag of returns sitting by the door.
The picture frames leaning against the wall waiting to be hung.
The pantry shelf that drives ...
