After dropping my kids off at school one morning, a thought occurred to me: you’re never in too deep. If it was too deep, you’d be drowning. And realistically, most of us aren’t literally drowning. We may feel like it, but, let’s face it: we can be pretty good at drama. And since we’re talking…
Tomorrow morning, I hop on a plane to head back home after a few amazing, full, and paradigm-shifting days. I’ve been in Nashville for the past few days, attending Jeff Goins’ inaugural session of Tribe Intensive, an amazing marketing workshop, as well as hosting a mastermind-style intensive of my own. Because I’m tired, I’m keeping…
Seth Godin once said in an interview, “Books are like souvenirs of ideas.” As I sit here, befuddled about what my fingers should talk about next, I look around the room, and sure enough, my eyes don’t land on books. They land on ideas. The current idea floating around in my mind has something…

Sometimes he’s annoying and loud, booming out across the room, “Ha-ha! You can’t do this! Remember that you stink at the whole accounting/communication/focus thing?” To which Courage, and a few good friends, whisper in reply: “Why not you?” Sometimes Fear is less loud, but still just as tickled. “Hoo-hoo! This’ll be fun! Can’t wait to…
A friend left a comment on one of my Instagram pictures the other day: “I love all the joy I’m seeing in your recent pictures!” I took it as a compliment, and was grateful someone had noticed. Life, lately, has demanded a lot of focus from me. I’m feeling pulled in so many directions, have…
