There’s usually something that has the tendency to lead us astray over and over again. The pattern differs for each person and recurs under many circumstances, fooling us into thinking that this time was a unique event rather than part of a recurring theme. Often referred to as an Achilles heel, it’s a characteristic or preference […]

The time it takes to trust in your dreams can take awhile. At least that was the case for me. Especially when you’re the type of person who wants to know what to expect; someone who’s a planner and aspiring foreseer like me. Over the past several years, I’ve continuously learned to let go, do […]

To take a sabbatical or not to take a sabbatical—that is the question. Taking a sabbatical may seem like a scary idea, one full of emptiness and the unknown.

What I mean by mental fitness is a combination of resiliency, determination and belief in one’s ability to figure out life’s challenges. […]

It’s an interesting shift when people see that what you’ve spent years building up to is beginning to pay off. They start asking about it, and then ultimately ask for your answer to the million-dollar question. My husband and I have spent the past several months in Arizona and are now back in Minneapolis.

This year has been a reminder that working for yourself is both wonderful and incredibly challenging at the same time. The comparison between full-time vs working for yourself isn’t what some people make it out to be. Simply put, there are pros and cons for each. It’s why I went back full-time a couple years […]

There’s one reason why dreams stay dreams for many of us. And it’s not because of fear. I used to think it was fear. If you had asked me five years ago, that’s what I would have answered. Fear was what I felt about the change I desperately wanted in my life when I was […]

There haven’t been too many exciting, new updates over the past couple years. And that’s partially by design—especially when it comes to playing the real game. The real game is primarily doing the same things, day after day. It’s not that there’s nothing going on. My life is full, although I’m certainly not living the […]

When I think back on what’s made the biggest difference in my personal journey over the past decade, I realized it had to do with prioritizing self-care. It began with focusing on what I needed for my personal definition of self-care. Prioritizing the things that nourished my body, mind and spirit. From the little things […]

What’s remarkable when you look back across the years is you see with more clarity that true change takes time. True, sustainable change takes longer than we’d like to think. From personal experience, it’s occurred across years. As someone who both fears yet desires change, it’s been a scary and enlightening process for me. I’ve […]

When it’s time to reassess, many of us choose to ignore the signs. Instead, we temporarily alleviate the strain on our energy with various tactics and distractions. There’s no shortage of ways of how we can distract ourselves from an upcoming cycle of change. We may endlessly scroll through social media and other media channels, […]

Three years ago, I started down on a dimly lit path that seemed very much less traveled, surrounded by many unknowns. Step by step, I put one foot in front of another. Some days, it was easier. Other times, I inched forward haltingly. During the darkest portions of the path, I froze, wondering where I […]
