PRE EPIC SERIES Last month, I shared a series called Do Your Epic Shit. And some common feedback was: "This is amazing. AND. I don't feel like this is my starting point. I'm just overwhelmed, dysregulated, confused, and not able to take even small steps. First I'd love to learn the basics. The foundational skills that will allow me to play hard and tolerate the discomfort of doing bigger things." Friends, that makes SO much sense. It's actually where I start with most of my ...
PRE-EPIC SERIES Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in for my "Do Your Epic Shit Series" last month and offered their feedback. One thing I'm hearing loud and clear from many of you: This all sounds great ... one day. But I honestly don't feel ready to even start doing hard things! Friend, that makes so much sense. When I think about my clients, very few of them came into coaching ready to immediately storm the gates of their dreams! Most of them started by learning foundation skills: ...
Whether, you're trying to lose 10 pounds, find your person, or sell your first screenplay — we all want to make our dreams happen faster. This might lead you to rush. You might set unrealistic timelines. Try to do all the things at once. And try to make it happen from a place of urgency. But the truth is: trying to rush actually slows you down. You feel more resistance. More confusion. There's more internal pressure to do it perfect the first time. Which makes it hard to keep moving forward. ...
Self-care. It's nice for twenty-somethings without kids, elderly parents, patients, students, or a demanding job. But you? You have responsibilities. If you don't take care of it all, who will? Setting boundaries feels so selfish. Spending time and money on your own happiness feels like taking it from others. It's almost like what's bad for them is good for you. Friend, if you're feeling this, I want you to consider ... That the complete opposite is actually true. As the caregiver, you are th...
Do you ever feel lost in your own life? Losing your direction in life is super common. It can happen at any time, but it's especially normal after big life transitions like a breakup, a graduation, or your kids leaving home. It can feel heavy, like you have a lot of resistance to starting something new. And it can also feel overwhelming, like there are too many possibilities to choose from. Either way, it's no fun. If you're in a lost phase, this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podc...

Do you feel stuck, like nothing ever changes in your life? Then ask yourself this question: Where am I NOT taking responsibility for my results? The answer might not be obvious. Your brain loves to protect you from failure, judgment, and negative emotion by giving away your power in sneaky ways. 🧠 Making your kids the reason you don't leave that relationship. 🧠 Making your partner the reason you don't spend money 🧠 Making your busy work schedule the reason you don't travel. Giving...
Have you noticed that when you're hard on yourself ... You always create exactly what you DON'T want? If you try to shame and berate yourself into losing ten pounds, you lose two. And then suddenly something snaps inside you. Now you're eating out of control. And you gain those two pounds back ... and then gain two more! You might repeat this cycle over and over. Each time, you feel more despair and hopelessness. Eventually, you decide that you're just doomed to failure, that you ...
You've probably heard that the secret to feeling calmer, getting more done, and living a life you love summed up in two words: TRUST YOURSELF. But you don't trust your own brain one bit! Cause your brain is a spaz. 🤪 Anytime you get a grumpy email from your boss, it tells you you're getting fired. Anytime your partner seems distant, it tells you they don't love you anymore. Anytime you get an unexpected bill, it tells you that you can't afford it ... and now you're going to end up homel...
"I'll start that business ... just as soon as things calm down." "It'll be easier to get my masters ... once my littles are in school." "I'm going to bike across the wine region of Italy ... just as soon as I retire!" Have you ever put off a dream because you're waiting for a better time? You're not alone. So many of my clients are waiting for "the right time" to start creating their FY life. But what if "the right time" never comes? What if "normal life" isn't some magic calm period that alw...
Time-starved. That was me. Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter. All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour. If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.) I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks ...
Have you ever struggled to do something differently? Maybe you want to: 💪 Get up and go to the gym in the morning 🧘 Intervene calmly when your partner overloads the dishwasher (again) ✋ Respond to invites with "Let me think about it" (instead of an automatic yes) Your brain knows there's a better way. But your body resists. You're so ashamed that you can't just BE DIFFERENT. What's wrong with you? Friend, if you can relate, here's good news. There's an easier way to change your ha...

Sometimes, life comes at you fast. Trying to process too much too fast can leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and paralyzed. You tell yourself that things have to slow down at some point. But what if they don't? You here a lot on social media about "nervous system regulation" and "gut-brain connection" and "soul-centered living." But you don't have time or energy to dabble in all the latest fads. You need one thing that's simple, easy to learn, and ACTUALLY WORKS. And if you...
