Hey Reader, A couple of days ago, I was watching a guy dressed as a bunny pitch a paintable Easter Bunny product he had created on Shark Tank. As the sharks started making their offers, it made me think about how simple products like Post-Its and Spanx have become these multibillion-dollar brands, and yet we have all been sold this idea that making money has to be hard and complicated. This is not to say that selling doesn't take work and involves a lot of different parts. But I do think we...

Hey Reader, You may have 'heard' me say this before already... But I say it over and over again because I myself often need the reminder. Clarity and confidence are not something you need to do the big, uncomfortable, hard things you keep avoiding. It's often the opposite. You do big, uncomfortable, hard things, even when you're scared, nervous, or simply unsure you can. And that is exactly what builds the proof and the belief that you are capable of doing bigger, more uncomfortable, harder...

Hey Reader, The other day, while doing the stair master at the gym (I have a love-hate relationship with this machine), I saw something I thought was both weird and funny. In the front row, I saw a woman wearing jeans while running on a treadmill, and only three treadmills to her right, I saw another woman wearing a bathing suit and sandals while walking on the treadmill. The contrasting sight of these two women in such opposite outfits while working out honestly made me laugh out loud (and...

Hey Reader, Have you ever heard the advice, “Sweat the small stuff”? It’s something I have heard Stephen Bartlett talk about on Diary of a CEO. He says this is one of his mantras and what he believes, one of the reasons for his success.I love Stephen Bartlett and his podcast (it's one of my favorite podcasts right now), but I also think that this idea that we should always be "sweating the smallest stuff" is one of the worst pieces of advice when you're early on your journey. Instead, I...

Hey Reader, Can I be honest with you? A few days ago, I was talking with my sister about our goals for the year and what we wanted to accomplish, and we started discussing how easy it is to feel stuck and discouraged if you believe you're never going to be able to do them. And the truth is that for many years, that was me. I would have all these New Year's resolutions (get fit and be more active, run a marathon, get in a long-term romantic relationship, fall in love, put myself out there and...

Hello Reader, Yesterday, after taking a run along the beach, I saw two older guys walking that I assumed were brothers because of how similar they looked. They looked, for lack of a better word, sad. The slow, unmotivated, slumped walking kind of sad. Just looking at them reminded me of something I heard Tony Robbins say in a podcast interview this past week. He was saying that when we have goals, and we want to accomplish something new or different from what we have done before, most people...

Mindset tools and practices to help you overcome self-doubt and start taking action on all those risks you have been avoiding to create a life you love every day. Hey Reader, When I say I'm a mindset coach, I know that many people struggle to understand what that truly means. For instance, anytime I'm talking on the phone with my sister, if I start to give her any advice or give her my opinion about a situation, she always responds with, "Don't give me coaching." But the thing is that...

Hey Reader, There’s something about the beginning of a new year that always feels like standing in front of a blank page for me. There’s excitement. There’s a possibility. There's a "newness" in the air. But sometimes, there’s also pressure, pressure to reinvent ourselves overnight or to “finally become” the person we think we should already be. This year, instead of chasing urgency or thinking about what I "should" have been or done by now, I’ve been asking myself different questions: "What...

Hey Reader, I hope you and your friends, loved ones, and family had a beautiful Holiday Season this year. Wherever you're reading this today and wherever you feel like you're in life, I hope you’re able to slow down and take some time to rest and to reflect on the things you want to experience next in 2026. I spent the past Christmas week on Anna Maria Island, FL, with family. The week honestly felt 'perfect' in that relaxing way, where you allow yourself to just be, without having many...
