Hey gorgeous!
Ever have those days (or weeks/months...) where you can't seem to get your energy in check? You feel like you're spinning your wheels and nothing seems to be working or you're trying everything but can't seem to find the motivation to take any action at all...
Girl - I know how frustrating it can be to feel like your energy is out of whack. I put together a quick practice to take yourself through the next time you need a little energetic up-level!
Take yourself through the following questions/prompts:
1. How do you want to feel everyday? How can you shift into these desired feelings this very moment?
2. What would you do right now if you loved yourself 10% more? How would you show up differently?
3. Where are you playing small? How can you set the bar higher for yourself? Make your next decision from the energy of the woman you desire to be!
4. What practices/exercises/things make you feel the most high vibe? List 3-5 and do one right now!
5. Close your eyes and imagine you are living your dream life in this very moment. Tune into the emotions of your higher self and use these to amp up your current energetic state--how does living your ideal life feel??
Once you get into the habit of doing this exercise, you can get through it all in 30 seconds to a couple mins. You'll be amazed how quickly your energetic state can shift (and, therefore, your entire reality!).
Encouraging you to give this exercise a shot over the weekend!
Wishing you the best weekend + sending you my highest vibes!

Are you REALLY ready to sign your next high level client?
Hey gorgeous!
I’m sure you’ve seen other women online sharing the excitement of signing high-ticket clients (we’re talking 4k + packages). Ever wondered what you’re doing wrong to not be able to celebrate the same successes?
Truthfully I think every entrepreneur feels this way at one point or another and has these thoughts - What am I not doing right? Is there something wrong with me? Is my business destined to fail? Will I ever get to celebrate signing big clients?
From what I’ve seen in my own experience and my clients’ experiences, there are four really important components to signing higher-ticket clients (that probably aren’t all what you’d expect!). It’s not until you can master ALL four pieces that you’ll be able to start signing dream, high-ticket clients with ease and flow.
The FOUR pillars to signing 4k + clients:
Money Mindset - It is so important that you heal blocks you have around money before you set out to sign a high-ticket client. Have you fully given yourself permission to make this amount of money? Would making a big sale bring up any negative emotions for you? What low-vibe experiences have you had with money in the past that are sabotaging your efforts now? Do you truly believe that you are worth what you are charging? Answering these questions and getting to a place where you feel good about your responses is an absolute key!
Community - It is so important to make sure you’re bringing in enough fresh people each month in order to sign VIP-status clients. For most niches, this means at least 100-300 new people are coming into your community each month.
Launch Strategy - When you’re signing clients at this level it becomes really important that you’re getting in front of a lot of people each month and providing real value to them (in addition to content you send out daily or weekly to you mailing list, social media, blog, etc.) This can look many different ways, but some of the most common include challenges, webinars, mini-courses, FB/IG live trainings, etc. Essentially, you provide a lot of value to your audience for free and follow up by making an offer.
Energy - Energy is a big one (that is often totally overlooked!). If you want to become the women that is signing 4k + clients like it’s nothing, you need to become her as much as possible now. How can you step into abundance mindset and ditch the desperation vibes? How can you make decisions as though you already were signing these clients and making this money? What old stories, patterns, masks, identities, etc. to you need to release in order to do this? Get REAL with yourself - this piece is important!
Only when you’re able to master all four elements will you start to move through this process with ease and flow. How good would it feel to make this feel effortless?
If you’re serious about signing high-ticket clients, I can help you get to a place where this feels normal to you. I can show you the best strategies to run your business with more ease and the most powerful mindset shifts to make you feel totally unstoppable.
Want to work together? I have a few amazing offerings that I’ve created to give you all the support you need to step into this next level of your business (plus you can get up to $250 off my 1:1 programs right now!).
SO much becomes possible with the right support in your biz. Let’s chat about all that’s truly possible for you!
Sending so much love!

Biggest lessons I learned in my business in 2018
I hope your 2019 is off to a great start and that you're feeling inspired, excited, and refreshed after the holiday break!
I love this time of year because it's such a great opportunity to reflect on lessons learned from the year behind and, thus, gain insight for the year ahead!
Taken from my own reflection, here are the 3 biggest lessons I learned in my business in 2018:
#1: Stay in your own lane
It's really easy to get caught up in what other people are doing (especially as on online entrepreneur!). This can make us feel like we need to be experts in #allthethings to keep up with everyone else. The reality, is you don't want to spread yourself too thin. It's better to be a total expert in a few areas than to have moderate knowledge in a laundry list of areas. Focus on your unique gifts and let them shine!
#2: Expand your definition of success
There are so many ways that we grow and evolve--some that are tangible, easy to measure, and physical, where others that are internal, energetic, and even invisible. When you only recognize yourself for accomplishing the physical successes, you overlook so much magic! For example, success isn't just about how much money you made, how many followers you gained, or how many clients you signed. It's also about how you started to feel, how much freedom you gained, how strong you became, etc. Such a powerful shift!
#3: Set the bar HIGH for yourself
Stop playing small. You weren't put on this earth to downplay your gifts. Give yourself permission to dream big and live fully. What would you want if you could not fail? How would your ideal life look if it was 100% guaranteed? Trusting that you're 100% worthy, go for the goals that scare the sh%t out of you and be ready to get uncomfortable every day--this is where the magic happens!
Becoming my own boss has become such a beautiful way to evolve--I swear I learn new lessons every day.
Whether you are just starting out on your entrepreneurial journey, or you're a seasoned business owner, I encourage you to implement the lessons I've shared into your own business.
Okay, gorgeous, sending SO much love your way!

3 intentions I'm bringing into 2019
Happy 2019! Can you believe it's already January 2nd?! I hope you had the best holiday season and spend it amongst your closest friends and family.
In the spirit of the new year, I felt inspired to share with you the intentions I'm bringing with me into 2019. I like intentions because they are a gentler than resolutions, but still allow you to harness new energy.
Here are the 3 intentions I'm bringing into 2019:
Intention #1: "I am open to receiving"
Can we all agree to stop sabotaging our ability to receive once and for all...like seriously? I'm committing to fully honoring my worth this year and that means allowing myself to receive (without feeling guilty!) I'm not going to downplay what I feel I deserve in any area of my life--I'm going to feel GOOD about receiving (whether it's money, favors, friends, resources, experiences, love, etc.)
Intention #2: "Celebrate the small wins"
The small wins, aka the mini successes that eventually build up to you reaching a huge goal, are so so important, yet often go overlooked. Small wins can be as little as getting followers on your new Instagram page for your startup biz or getting new inquiries about working with you. When we honor the small wins, we keep the momentum towards our bigger goals alive. This year, I'm celebrating all my wins--big or small--every week! Some weeks this might look like a massage, some weeks it might be a spontaneous weekend getaway, other weeks it might be having a cozy night in. Whatever the case, I'm making sure my wins don't go unnoticed.
Intention #3: "Be here now"
As a yoga teacher, a huge part of what I teach my students is to be tuned in to the present moment. This looks like being focused on your breath, your body, your emotions, etc. As much as I've mastered this art on my yoga mat, it can be hard to apply the same principle to my business! It can be really challenging to be present when I have so many goals for the future and such a massive vision for where I want to be in 1 year, 5 years, and 10+ years down the line. But, I know that I want to live my life in the now, rather than to be living in the future (hello anxiety!!). While I still have goals and dreams, this year I'm committing to living as presently as possible, honoring where I am right here, right now and trusting that when the time is right, my goals for the future will manifest.
Whew! There they are! I'm capping it at 3 intentions to make sure I can really focus on and commit to each one. I hope you can take some inspiration from these as you're planning and setting goals for this year.
Wishing you all a beautiful 2019. SO excited for all the wins ahead in your life and business! I definitely have some exciting things happening in my business that I can't wait to share with you all (so stay tuned!)
Sending massive L O V E for the new year!

My Top 3 Mastermind Takeaways + LA Recap!
Hey beauty!
Whew--this past week has been a whirlwind! If you didn't hear, I went on a trip to Los Angeles to attend a business mastermind event with some of the most badass female entrepreneurs I know.
We talked about business strategy, released mindset blocks, and planned for a kickass 2019--not to mention ate at some of the trendiest restaurants and hung out at the coolest rooftop bars (scroll down to see pics!)
Now that I've had some time to reflect, I want to share with you guys some of the top takeaways I had from this event ( because gosh there were so many!)
Without further adieu, here they are!
Takeaway #1: Set the bar high for yourself
It is so important that we are getting outside our comfort zones when we set goals or think about what we want. Life is meant to be an upward journey, so you always want to ensure you are stepping into more and more greatness--you deserve it. Plus, by you setting the bar high, you give others permission to do the same.
Takeaway #2: You do a disservice to the world by not following through on your big ideas
If you had a pill that cured cancer but you didn't share it with the world because you were afraid, think about all the unnecessary suffering that would happen. Your current business ideas are no different--when you fail to follow-through on your vision, you literally keep your customers suffering. Your products/services are solutions to their biggest frustrations/pain points!
Takeaway #3: Action over perfection
So many of us have an attachment to perfection. We spend our time fixing, tweaking, adjusting, and starting from scratch rather than actually executing, sharing, or launching anything. Because "perfect" doesn't actually exist, you'll always be waiting. Instead, take action first and tweak as you go!
Even more than these takeaways, it was truly SO amazing to be in the presence of like-minded women. Being in their energy has made me so crazy inspired and ready to finish out 2018 with a bang!
What are your biggest goals for the rest of 2018? How can I help you achieve them? Hit reply to this email and LMK what type of content you'd like to see from me to help you do so!
Sending love, gorgeous!

Read this if you're struggling to find + attract soul aligned clients...
Hey beautiful!!
Are you in the early stages of your business but feel like you are struggling to find and attract your ideal clients?
I see so many women who seem do be doing everything right (i.e. they've got a beautiful brand, they've created epic products/services, they've been posting on social media, etc.) but are still struggling to find and attract their ideal clients.
What the heck are they doing wrong??
Almost across the board, I find that the missing piece lies within their messaging. Specifically, their messaging is too broad, causing them to get lost in the shuffle of the online space because no one resonates with them deeply enough to care...#truthbomb!
When you can narrow your messaging enough that you are speaking to a well-defined category of people (a.k.a. your potential ideal clients), they can really start to HEAR you--rather than skim right over your content when they're scrolling through their news feed.
The most killer messaging will focus on connecting two primary things:
1. P A I N P O I N T S
What is your ideal client struggling with? What keeps him/her up at night stressing out? Where do they not want to be in one year? What are their biggest insecurities/what are they ashamed of?
2. D E S I R E S
What are your ideal client's biggest goals/aspirations? What thoughts do they have in the back of their mind that they are two afraid to admit they deserve? What does their dream life look like one year from today? If money was not a factor, how would they spend their day?
Essentially, your job as a business owner is to communicate to your ideal client that your product or service is the driving force that will take them from living with their pain points to living in alignment with their deepest desires.
Yes, this means in ALL the content you put out into the world, from social media posts, to blog posts, to emails, etc., the foundation of everything you say should be positioning YOU and your product/service as the catalyst that relieves pain points and fulfills desires.
Once you can incorporate this into your messaging, you will be amazed at how much more quickly your audience will be able to know, like, and trust you...eventually enough to want to purchase from you!
How can you start incorporating this into your messaging?! Hit reply & LMK!
Your ideal clients are out there & waiting to hear from you...
Love you!

Is Self-Sabotage Preventing You from Starting Your Biz?
Hey beauty!!
Let's get real about self sabotage, shall we?
If you aren't familiar, self-sabotage is essentially when we (either deliberately or subconsciously) prevent ourselves from achieving something or stop a goal/intention from being successful.
Common self-sabotaging behaviors include everything from procrastination, to comfort eating, to mindless/numbing activity, to abusing drugs and alcohol--and also much subtler behaviors! While it's a normal part of life, some of us experience self-sabotage to such a high degree that we are never able to get "un-stuck" and accomplish the things we care about.
What you might not know, is that self-sabotage comes up all the time amongst aspiring entrepreneurs. Many of us had the realization that we wanted to start a business, but blocked ourselves from actually doing so for a substantial period of time.
Here are some common ways many of us sabotage our desire to build a business in the beginning:
+ Convincing yourself it's not the right time
+ Telling yourself it's too hard or will take too long before actually giving it a shot
+ Convincing yourself other people will react negatively to your business when you put it "out-there"
+ Assuming the start-up costs/investments are too much and would never be made back
+ Telling yourself you aren't good enough
+ Assuming your business will fail before even starting
+ Believing you don't have any real value to share with the world & therefore can't sell an in-demand product/service
Does any of this sound familiar?!
Full transparency, I've probably told myself everything on this list at one point in my entrepreneurial journey! I allowed self-sabotage to kill my dreams for multiple years before finally figuring out how to move forward.
Here's the truth, self-sabotage is actually our subconscious mind's way of protecting ourselves. This is the reason self-sabotage always comes up when we are about to step outside our comfort zones and do something expansive for ourselves--we get scared and try to stay safe by resorting back to our old ways of being. Soo frustrating, right?!
So what can you do about this?
Nurture yourself! Knowing that sabotage is coming from fear, do everything you can to reassure yourself that you are safe, you can trust yourself, and that things will be okay--In fact, remind yourself that things will be even better as a result of you...[INSERT BIG EXCITING GOAL HERE]!
Be fully present with yourself along every step of your journey while you're starting your business, sending love to the fears and excuses that come upand assuring yourself that moving outside your comfort zone is a positive thing!
You are bigger than your self-saboteur! All the power you need to start your business is already within you. Nurture, nurture, nurture, because you are more than ready to start!
Sending love, gf!

How to stay grounded when you work from home
Hey gorgeous!!
I've been working on my business from home for quite some time now. While I absolutely love the flexibility it provides, I can sometimes go a little stir-crazy being cooped up and isolated all day.
I want to share my best tips for staying grounded and zen when you're working from home so you can keep your stress levels low and still get your best work done.
Who's excited for them?!
My top tips to stay grounded AF when working from home:
1. Dress the Part
Believe it or not, my best work days are never the days I'm in my PJ's until 2pm haha! I really try to make an effort to put cute clothes on, do my hair, and apply a little makeup. Not only does this make me feel more confident, but it helps transition me from 'home mode' to 'work mode.' I know if I'm in my work clothes, it's time to focus and get sh%t done!
2. Make Your Breaks Ritualistic
The more enjoyable and routine your breaks are, the more likely you are to take them (and girl, you NEED to take them!) Have set times and activities that you use every day. For example, every day at noon I make a tea and spend a couple minutes with myself. Then, when I'm working, I can stay more motivated because I know a break is coming.
3. Leave Your House & Get Sunshine
If you find yourself sitting and staring at a computer screen for several hours at a time, you need to get up and get out! Give your eyes a rest, move your body, and soak up some vitamin D outside. You'll breath some fresh air, clear your head, and feel re-energized, refreshed, and full of new inspiration!
4. Set Goals with Tangible Results
Something that can be tough about working from home/being your own boss is that you will sometimes have to do work that doesn't have a direct reward. For example, let's say you write a blog post. You aren't necessarily getting paid for the blog itself, but you might get paid down the line from a client who read the blog post and really connected with you. I like to recommend that every day you have at least one to-do action that will have a more tangible result so you can feel like your work is meaningful, and always moving your forward.
5. Work in a Space that Inspires You
Whether you have a whole office to work with or just a desk, make the space you do your work in appealing and inspiring. Invest in decor for your desk, and place some goodies around your space that can keep your energy high all day. I love to have crystals, essential oils, plants, and sage & palo santo around my desk. I get so excited to do work when I know I'll be in my cute office space!
6. Clock Out & Stay Off
This is another important step to maintain the 'home life' vs. 'work life' boundary and protect your energy. Have a time at the end of the day where you always stop work and stick to it--no checking emails late into the evening gf! You might even have a special routine for winding down after your workday (i.e. a yoga class, dinner, a workout, or a glass of wine.)
While it can seriously be amaaazing to work from home, I definitely have days where I hustle way too much and can't calm down, or am feeling totally uninspired and unmotivated. These tips always bring me back to middle ground, where I'm working hard but also nurturing myself along the way.
Hope these tips were inspiring to you! Which ones are you definitely trying yourself?!
Sending love, beauty!
