The big problem with perfectionism and self-pressure is that it can sneak into everything you’re doing. EVERYTHING. And the only antidote is a profoundly trusting relationship with your inner wisdom.

For example, have you ever pressured yourself to do a better job relaxing on your day off?

Let’s talk about how I’ve added $50K to my income every year for the last three years without paid advertising and why experimentation is the key to this kind of reliable growth.

Several years ago, I decided it was time to scale my business from its reliable $150K per year set point...

Many years ago, Nikki was interested in my Mind-Body Magic Life Coach Training & Certification Program, but when we spoke on the phone, she told me she was really skeptical about all this mind-body stuff. I’ve heard that from other people, too - can mind-body work really relieve pain?...

A couple of weeks ago, I snuck away to a vacation rental thirty minutes from my home. The fall leaves decorated the foothills and a nearby hiking trail beckoned. 

I’d planned this retreat to A) have a lot of fun and restore my spirit and B) create new ideas for my business. I imagined...

For months on end, my office looked like it had been attacked by a vivacious crew of toddlers bent on playing with every item in the room.
