What dream are you putting off because you think you have to go “all in” to begin?

In this episode, I unpack how all-or-nothing thinking keeps so many people stuck—and why it’s one of the biggest blockers to growth, fulfillment, and actually living the life you want.

I share a powerful story about my client Kate, who dreamed of opening a candy shop but kept waiting for the “perfect time.” (Spoiler: it never came.) Instead, she took one small but meaningful step—and everything started to shift.

We’ll talk about why action within your current life is the path forward, how to let go of outdated assumptions, and what happens when you stop trying to force a leap and start taking steps that feel true.

If you’ve been holding back on a dream, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Melody Wilding to explore what it really means to trust yourself and create success on your own terms. Together, we dive into the complexities of being a high achiever – from breaking free of the "honor roll hangover" to the delicate balance between self-advocacy and humility at work.

Melody shares powerful insights about detoxing from goals that no longer serve us and transforming our relationship with external validation. We explore how true reinvention isn't about becoming someone new, but having the courage to become more of who you already are.

If you're a high achiever who's ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or knowing how to advocate for yourself at work without feeling uncomfortable, this episode offers practical strategies and permission to redefine what success means to you.

In this episode, I talk about the human brain’s built-in negativity bias—and how learning to shift into possibility thinking can completely change how you move through challenges.

I share how this mindset helped me transform my business during the pandemic, and why asking “What is possible?” is one of the most powerful questions you can practice. If you’re feeling stuck or discouraged by uncertainty, this conversation will help you shift your lens, take back your agency, and discover new paths forward.
