LA’s hottest trend right now? A little virus that barges in unannounced and squats in your respiratory system until it’s ready to move on to its next victim. (That, and either baggy, flared, or skinny jeans—I honestly don’t know anymore.) Last week, this little menace got me, and I was reminded how much I hate not being at 100%. No one likes being sick. It’s famously uncomfortable and shrinks your world to your couch, surrounded by a halo of crumpled tissues. But I want to talk about the...

As a native New Yorker wired for urgency and built to slither speedily through the NYC subway system, I’ve had to learn to slow down. To… 🐢 Pause and breathe before reacting🐢 Reflect and introspect before making big decisions🐢 Accept the pace of things beyond my control🐢 Embrace unstructured downtime and play🐢 Take a freakin’ chill pill, bro! But sometimes, you need to speed up. And guess what? You may be the only thing standing in your way. Or as one wonderfully self-aware member of my...

“I want to chuck my work laptop out the window” ✋ Raise your hand if this resonates (it’s okay, no one can see you). In the past month, I’ve heard things like this at the start of my coaching programs: “I feel burnt out and exhausted. I can't keep going like this.” “My hands are slipping off the monkey bars.” “Every morning, I wake up with dread.” “I’m counting down the days until I can leave.” “Everything about this job feels wrong. I’m just over it.” You might feel like sh*t now… and that’s...

Your people are over hearing you complain about your job. They’re breaking out the world’s smallest violin and speed-dialing the wambulance. Heck, you’re probably sick of your own complaining by now. Look, I get it. Maybe you’re juggling a garbage-fire project, reporting to a boss who’s a walking red flag, and getting underpaid for the privilege—all while white-knuckling it through late-stage capitalism. Or maybe you’re fending off a persistent whisper saying, “This can’t be it, right?” And...

Greetings from the midpoint of my month-long trip to New York—my original home. This trip has been full of singing, dancing, deep connections, dumb jokes, and “how the hell have you been?!” conversations. My people are grappling with big life questions: Do I stay in the city or move closer to family? Do I have children or remain child-free? Do I stick with this “meh” job or find something better? Do I cultivate independence in my marriage or separate? Do I make a career pivot now, or wait...

‘Tis the season to… set goals. Whether you’re brainstorming OKRs in a corporate conference room or wandering Joshua Tree with a pocket full of crystals manifesting your next moon cycle, you’re making choices about what you want to change in the future. But this newsletter isn’t your typical goal-setting advice. (If you need help crafting clear, motivating career goals, I’m your gal—hit me up.) No, this is an ode to one of my favorite, underappreciated types of goals: counter metrics. And it’s...

This message is for anyone who’s going through big changes right now. Oh, that’s all of us? Cool. Let me be even more specific, then: This message is for anyone who’s found themselves crying because of these big changes, in front of someone, and has instinctually said, “I’m sorry.” You do not need to apologize. Your feelings are normal. You are normal. This boy speaks for us all I’ve been the cryer. I’ve been the holder-of-space-for-the-cryer. Would you believe that many of my clients cry...

I dare you to reach out to a total stranger this week. Feeling intimidated? I get it! But it’s so worth it. I’m going to tell you WHY (and if you need help with HOW, hit me up). Let me introduce you to Robb, Lucy, and Nelson—all people I’ve met in the last 18 months. Robb reached out to me on LinkedIn out of the blue, Lucy was introduced to me by our business coach, and Nelson checked in on me when I started a contract executive coaching role. They all live in Toronto. Robb, Lucy, and Nelson...
