Get it while you can!

Oh dearests, so much exciting stuff is coming. New and super-powerful and challenging (for me and you) and transformative (also for me and you). New packages will be happening, and my prices will be adjusted too. So if you’ve been thinking about getting a super-charged dose of my best insight, inspiration and clarity, you should…

Change tolerance (and why you don’t have it)

People have differing levels of pain tolerance, depending on the source of pain. We might be totally fine with getting punched in the gut, but cannot bear to be mocked. Needles are okay, but never ever ice. Feet that are almost totally insensible, but don’t touch the elbows. I think we have the same varying…

You don’t have a writing process

You have writing processes, plural. This is something I’m getting reminded of more and more as I start writing for two different websites at a time. Writing here and for the (shiny and new, have you had a look at it yet, haveyahaveyahaveya?) Cash and Joy are totally different experiences. I wrote an article for…

The new website is live!

Now as you know, I am impatient and impulsive and always running full speed at the thing I love. So although the professional (awesome) design isn’t done yet, and lots of the extra content needs to be added, here it is, dearests: Cash and Joy It’s my new darling, and the new direction for the…

The Action Studio and a love letter

For the next while, my business will be all about getting bigger. More awesome. More world-changing. More glorious and helpful and generous and wonderful. And so of course I want to encourage other people to go large, too. (Partly because it’s hard and argh and lonely being the only one biggifying.) So, although the middle…

photo credit: josef.stuefer It’s been over a week since I last posted. A week spent in Vegas in a state of hyper-connection, limited internet access, and incredible noise. I had deeply emotional conversations, late-night poker games, and fabulous meals. (There are Vegas updates coming, once I get enough perspective to make sense.) And in between…

Please-stop-raining Monday

When you’re the kind of person who tends to leave their packing and clothes-washing duties until the last few days before a trip, this requires Innovation. (Also, a trip on the scooter later today to buy the last few essentials. I’m…

That’s one of the benefits of having a somewhat-unusual last name. Who is your website for and what does…
