There is no right or wrong way to approach collaborations, but I’ve observed many people making decisions around collaborations and seen some red flags.

This week,  I share my thoughts on collaborations and reasons for doing them, and how I filter the invitations for collaborations that I receive.

Discover the importance of going in with a spirit of experimentation and only doing collaborations that nourish your soul, versus doing them for the sake of exposure or people pleasing.

Coaching is a collection of tools that, like so many others, can be so incredibly useful or turned into harmful weapons.

When you can wound with the same tools that can up-level any aspect of your life, what really matters are your decisions about how you use these tools.

This week, hear five historical assumptions and prejudices that have long existed in this industry that need to be examined and reimagined, so we can, at the very least, reduce harm, and at best, turn coaching into a truly helpful force in the world.

Phrases like feeling “triggered” or “unsafe” get thrown around a lot in coaching conversations. We often assume that feeling them is an inherently bad experience, but is this true?

I'm back with part two of my conversation with my long-time mentor and teacher Karen Hawkwood, a.k.a. KJ Sassypants, and we are diving into the art of paradox.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t make sense to yourself, or that there are parts of you that act out in unhelpful ways, you are not alone.

The truth is, however weird or disparate it all seems, these paradoxes that comprise who you are belong, and this is what KJ and I are discussing today.

It's easy to get caught up in a life and business that checks all the boxes of how we're "supposed to" feel and what we're "supposed to" be doing to build and scale it... but what if there's another way?
