Sometimes clarity feels out of reach—especially when we’re stuck in the “in-between,” no longer where we were but not yet where we’re going. What I’ve learned is that clarity doesn’t come before action; it comes through it. Taking imperfect steps forward, trusting the process, and reflecting along the way helped me find my next right move. If you’re waiting for perfect clarity, maybe it’s time to start moving instead.

For years, I said it like a fact: “I don’t want to be an entrepreneur.” It felt safe—a story I clung to when everything else was uncertain. But sometimes, certainty becomes a cage. It wasn’t until a wise friend gently reminded me, “You know you’re allowed to change your mind, right?” that I realized how much I needed permission to grow. We all carry old stories about who we are, but what if those stories no longer fit? Changing your mind isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign of growth. You’re allowed to reimagine what’s next.

Tomorrow marks my third business anniversary-but the real story began years ago, in grief and quiet whispers. What started as a journal entry during a retreat grew into a calling to help others deepen their spiritual lives and lead with purpose. Every loss, every unexpected turn, has been part of a sacred unfolding-one that continues to inspire and guide me, and those I have the privilege to serve.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, stretched thin, or starting something new, coaching acts as a catalyst for personal growth-much like tending a garden. When you’re stuck, coaching helps “turn the compost,” transforming life’s heavy moments into fertile ground for new growth. If you’re stretched, it provides the support of a trellis, helping you focus your energy and prune what no longer serves you. And when you’re starting fresh, coaching offers the safe, nurturing environment of a greenhouse, giving you space to build confidence and take root before stepping into new challenges. No matter your season, coaching offers clarity, support, and the tools to help you grow into your next chapter.

The final “People” P in the REALIFE 7 P’s of Business™ is often the most powerful-and painful. The right people can energize your mission; the wrong ones can wear you down. It’s not just about employees-it’s about building a supportive ecosystem that includes virtual assistants, coaches, and a community that truly understands you. Reflecting on who fuels or drains your energy and courageously asking for help can transform your work and sustain your purpose. Aligning your people with your vision is key to lasting success.

Are you stuck in a cycle of constant crisis, always putting out fires but never getting ahead? Reactive leadership drains your energy, clouds your clarity, and steals your joy. The REALIFE 7 P’s of Business™ framework helps you break free by identifying and solving the real problems beneath the surface. Instead of just managing symptoms, you’ll build intentional systems that create sustainable growth and purpose-driven success. It’s time to stop surviving the chaos and start leading with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Effective business processes are crucial for clarity and resilience. Without them, tasks feel overwhelming, mistakes recur, and leadership becomes burdensome. Well-designed systems, however, streamline operations, enhance client experiences, and build credibility. They free leaders from mental overload, allowing others to support them and fostering creativity. By investing in clear processes, businesses can transition from chaos to calm, ensuring sustainable success and growth. This strategic approach helps organizations stay true to their purpose and expand their impact effectively.

Making informed decisions is crucial for businesses, nonprofits, and ministries. While gut instincts can be helpful in certain situations, relying solely on them without tracking key metrics often leads to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Neglecting data creates a slow drain on sustainability and profitability, akin to a hidden leak. Tracking essential metrics—such as revenue, expenses, engagement, and retention—provides clarity for strategic pivots and growth. Beyond finances, metrics like time allocation, staff well-being, and mission impact are equally vital. By focusing on the right data, leaders can align their efforts with long-term goals and avoid costly mistakes caused by guesswork.

Is your product helping or hurting your business? A great business starts with a great offer that meets a real need and stands out. But what if your product is unclear? You might struggle to explain its value, ramble when asked about it, and find potential clients disinterested.

If you don't define your product, the market will—likely lumping you in with competitors. This leads to stagnation, frustration, and missed opportunities. Avoid common mistakes like trying to be everything to everyone. Refine, reposition, or rethink your product to ensure it solves a specific problem for a specific audience.

Without a solid plan in place, you end up in a cycle of reacting to whatever's urgent instead of proactively moving toward a vision that matters. You're exhausted, frustrated, and wondering why all your hard work isn't paying off.

When there's no plan, it's easy to feel like you're always in crisis mode. You wake up already behind, drowning in emails, juggling client requests, and scrambling to put out fires. Your days are filled with interruptions, and by Friday, you're left wondering, What did I actually accomplish this week?

Meanwhile, the projects that could actually move your business forward—the ones that would create real impact—keep getting pushed aside.

Let’s fix that, together.

When it comes to growing a successful organization, knowing your purpose is essential. Without it, everything feels like a blur, leaving you stuck in a cycle of busy work without direction. Decisions become overwhelming without a guiding mission. Clarity of purpose is the foundation that holds everything together in your business or organization. It provides direction, focus, and alignment, allowing you to make confident decisions even when the path seems unclear. When your actions align with your core values, your purpose offers clarity and motivation to persevere through challenges. However, when purpose is unclear or misaligned, complications arise, leading to overwhelm, decision fatigue, and lack of fulfillment.

While it may seem insurmountable, being stuck isn't permanent and can even be a catalyst for positive change. This blog post explores the costs of remaining stuck, including impacts on sleep, relationships, and missed opportunities. However, it also highlights the unexpected gifts of this state: a wake-up call, a nudge to take action, and an opportunity to connect with others. The post offers a proven 3-step process to get unstuck, emphasizing self-reflection, claiming personal power, and seeking support. Remember, every small step moves you closer to the life you want.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, 'As soon as things calm down at work…' or 'When the kids are older, I’ll finally…' If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone. We’re stuck in limbo, waiting for things to change. We shrug, shake our heads, and say 'someday.' But 'someday' thinking is sneaky. It feels like hope, but it’s often an excuse to stay in our comfort zone. The problem is, 'someday' often turns into 'never.' Life keeps moving, demands keep piling up, and the perfect moment remains out of reach.

Life coaching is practical, transformative, and designed for everyday people just like you. It's not about being fancy - it's about getting unstuck and making a real difference.1This isn't about being "woo-woo" - it's about gaining clarity, aligning with your values, and taking action to create an authentic life.
