Put some Strategy, Mindset, and Energy behind your purpose.
When we think “creating a business,” we think long nights, hustling,
sending messages and emails to people we don’t know, many night of ramen (and not by choice), etc.
It’s lots of struggle, lots of pain, and lots of loneliness.
Lots of pressure.
The pressure to produce, perform, and profit –
in ways accepted by society.
But that isn’t the only way.
We can create businesses around connection, authenticity, and being real.
(Rather than the performance of expertise and perfectionism.)
I’m talking about sharing a sense of longing, expressing your uniqueness,
ease and acceptance in the process, enjoyment even of the process.
Imagine knowing and accepting yourself, your business, and what you share.
Imagine trusting your intuition, your decisions, and your skills.
Imagine your energy radiating through your business and
changing the lives of not just your clients, not just your audience, but people who don’t even know you.
You already have the tools you need to do all of this – your mind, your intuition, and your energy.
It’s just figuring out how to apply them.
Here is what I know:
We all long for connection. Human and otherwise.
You can see this in our use of social media, our radical bonding with plants, animals,
and even our Roomba’s.
We fill this need in whatever ways we can.
And there are many businesses that create a faux sort of connection.
But this need is really only satiated with real and sometimes deep connection.
This kind of connection comes from vulnerability and the sharing of the personal.
And it is in these kinds of connections and relationships where magic happens.
Where the impact happens.
Do you feel this too?
Then let me introduce myself.
Mindset and Energy Coach for entrepreneurs of all genders looking to create authentic businesses that connect and create impact!
But let’s get real for a moment.
In 2016, I left school with a Master’s in Social Work and so much knowledge about connection and personal growth. But I also left feeling burnt out from the pressures of performing and producing.
There is a LOT of pressure out there to do these things, oh and to profit. Don’t forget that one.
It’s the same in entrepreneurial spaces. Even spiritual ones. The pressure to be, look, do things a certain way, to create certain things, and to charge or not charge certain amounts.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. I don’t just believe it, I know it.
And that’s what this is about – I want you to create YOUR business, one where you get to be you, do the things you want to or are called to, and enjoy doing. While, yes making money, and creating impact and change in the world.
Here are some podcast episodes to begin exploring!
Have you ever gone into a store for one thing, and came out with a cartful? I sure have. The truth is, stores leverage psychology against you to get you to buy. That’s why in this episode of the Money Mindset Shift, we’re going shopping!
I spent $132 on a mobile game. What? Yep! That’s why this episode, number 48 of the Money Mindset shift is titled “Help! I overspent!” And this episode is dedicated to anyone who has accidentally overspent as well! Which is probably everyone, so keep listening, and let’s get into it!
I overdrafted my bank account. Dun dun dun! I know. In this episode, number 47 of the Money Mindset Shift, we are digging into what happened, how I shifted through it, and the lessons you can take from my experience!
Are you the kind of person who dives right into the deep end of the pool? Or maybe you’ve been hanging out with your feet over the side, but now you are ready to get in? Let’s work together! No matter where you are at, or how far you want to jump in, there is something for you!

![Does money leave you feeling overwhelmed, frozen, and afraid?
You aren’t alone. “60% of [US] respondents indicated feeling anxious when thinking about their personal finances,” claim researchers at the Global Finance Literacy Center and FINRA Investor Education Foundation.
This was reported in 2021. I would guess with student loan debt at the hands of the Supreme Court, lack of additional stimulus checks, and the COVID child tax credit having ended - I would bet that 60% could be higher now.
Unfortunately, this stress can create the same kinds of responses in your business.
Overwhelmed. Feeling stuck in place. And afraid of making wrong decisions.
The Evaluate, Shift, Heal framework helps you to release some of those fears with compassion, so that you can move forward rather than feeling frozen in place.
Look, the way the system is, it makes us all extra dependent on money. But, we can change this.
And one place to start is with the programs and beliefs you’ve been given that cause the overwhelm and anxiety.
You deserve more ease, confidence, and freedom in your relationship with money. AND you can have it.
