There’s something about the week between Christmas and the New Year.

Time bends.

Schedules soften.

And suddenly, the truth is a little easier to hear.

So before we step into 2026, I want to tell you a story about how my year actually began — because it shaped everything that followed.

The Question That Changed My Entire Year

In January, I was invited to facilitate an in-person mastermind day for another mentor’s community.

We gathered in a room full of brilliant, accomplished women — t...

Every December, there’s a collective rush toward the same thing:
fixing. planning. upgrading. improving.

Everyone is hunting for the “right” strategy to take into the new year.
The right funnel. The right offer. The right content plan.
The right way to finally become the woman who does it all differently.

But here’s the truth I wish more high-achieving women understood:

Most of what you think is a strategy problem… is actually a self-concept problem.
And no amount of planning can out-run the stor...

There’s something sacred about late December.

The light softens.
The world quiets.
And if you’re really paying attention… your inner world starts whispering things you couldn’t hear all year long.

I used to rush through this season — chasing momentum, planning the next quarter, trying to “start January strong.” But every time I forced myself into doing mode too soon, I missed the real magic:

Your deepest clarity arrives in the stillness you resist.

A few years ago, I started noticing a pattern...

Prosperity is subtle.

So subtle, in fact, most women don’t realize they’re operating from lack even as they’re generating six or multiple six figures.  Prosperity isn’t a number.  It’s not a revenue milestone.  It’s not a Stripe screenshot.

Prosperity is a state of being.  A frequency.  A posture of the heart.  And most high-achieving women aren’t struggling because they “don’t know how to make money.”  They’re struggling because they’re building their business on top of borrowed prosperity co...

There’s a specific kind of woman I attract inside my work.

She’s smart, high-achieving, purpose-driven… and exhausted.  Not because she’s failing.  But because she has succeeded her way into a corner.

And one of my clients this year was the perfect example of this.  When she came to me, she said something I hear often from women at this level:  “I want my business back… but I want my life back even more.”

She meant it.  And when she told me she wanted to rebuild her business to run on 10 hour...

You can have the cleanest messaging on the internet.  You can have the best offer in your industry.  You can follow every strategy your mentor ever gave you.  

And still your results can stall.  Your conversions can dip.  Your business can start feeling like one big question mark.  Most women assume this means something is “broken” in their strategy.

So they tweak the funnel.  Rewrite the offer.  Redo the messaging.  Change the price.  Add more content.  Hire another coach. But here’s the hard...

Up until this last year, I only had one tattoo.
But if you’ve met me, you know I went big on the first one — half a sleeve.

Snow falling on peonies.
Mountains and water winding underneath.

Each element carries deep meaning for me — the snow representing the storm, the peonies symbolizing resilience under pressure, the mountains and water reflecting my lifelong connection to nature.

And while I still love the artwork, I’ve come to realize something deeper about the woman who first sat in that ta...

Last month, I got one of those “wait—what just happened?” notifications.

Our Steamboat Springs Airbnb — the one that usually books out months in advance — had a cancellation.

And not just any week.

Christmas week.

If you know ski towns, you know that’s basically the Super Bowl of short-term rentals — the week that makes the season.

So yes, I panicked. For about five minutes.

Then I remembered what I teach: panic is not a strategy.

Most people, when something that used to sell suddenly doesn’t, go into ...

Last week, I had a run-in with a surly plumber.

He was installing a brand-new hot water heater at our Steamboat Springs property — part family getaway, part short-term rental.

And when I say “surly,” I mean the kind of man who gives off “you’re lucky I even showed up” energy.

He acted as if my request was an inconvenience — even though, let’s be clear, there was a very clear exchange of value happening.

He installs the hot water heater.

I pay him a very inflated mountain-town rate because, ...

Launching Miracle Magnet Co. this year has been one of the most humbling and heart-expanding experiences of my entrepreneurial life.

After over a decade in business — mentoring, coaching, consulting, creating — I thought I knew how to build things.  But stepping into a completely new business model (e-commerce) reminded me that even seasoned founders sometimes need to become students again.

The creation process had its bumps — design tweaks, printer glitches, tech hiccups — but eventually, eve...
