Whenever I’m feeling mentally fried, exhausted, overwhelmed, or lacking focus… I generally tell myself to “take it to the mat” and I hit a power flow yoga class at

When I shared this with my wise instructor , he said “yes, but also leave it on the mat”.

Boom! 💥

He’s right. What’s the point of sweating it all out for an hour and then taking all the stress, worry and tension with me when I leave?

It’s pointless.

Bottom line: Do what you can to visualize leaving your concerns behind on the mat, next to the mat, or in that studio when you leave!

Pro tip: You don’t have to take a class to make this work for you… stand up from your desk, imagine you’re placing the feelings you want to release into an airtight box that you’re holding, now kiss the box and put it on a shelf (literally make the motion with your lips and hands/arms), and then step to the right… into the new feelings you want to generate in that moment (saying them out loud also helps!). Spread your arms wide up towards the sky and take three deep breaths. Drop your arms, shake them out and say “NEXT!”.

And move on with your day… 🚀

Let me know how it goes for you - or tell us about the things you do to shift your mental state in the comments… 🙏

Happy Friday! ☀️

Sometimes what didn’t work out for you really worked out for you. 🙃🚀

Read that again.

It’s Monday beautiful people! ✨

New week. New opportunity to reframe the situations or circumstances in which we are making ourselves the victim.

I’m not saying tough stuff doesn’t happen. It does.

But it’s us who decide whether we get stuck in the vicious ‘victim’ mindset (holding us back) … or we rise into the ‘volunteer’ mindset (taking control of our choices and life, and therefore impacting what comes next and how we experience it !!).

What circumstance in your business - or life - can you reframe today?

DM me if you’re stuck and need a butt kick to breakthrough! 💥

You got this! And I got you.

Regarding fundraising and pitching, this is one of the BEST pieces of advice I’ve ever received:

S**U. 😃

Spelled out: Shut The F$&k Up.

Now that I’m advising others, I see the incredible value in this simple statement.

We’re human. We love to hear ourselves speak. We have so much to say. We want to get our points across. We want to ensure we’re being clear — and clearly understood.

But this is where the old adage holds true — LESS IS MORE.

When giving your pitch, get to the point.

Be succinct.

Allow for pregnant pauses.

Just when the pause starts to feel uncomfortable and you want to fill the silence, allow a few more seconds to pass.

This gives your prospective investors a chance to speak, reflect, and ask questions. After all, they’re human like you — so they like to hear themselves talk too. And getting questions is how you’ll learn and discern which edits to make to your pitch — ultimately leading to closed funding.

So remember — in business (and often life in general), mastering the ability to S**U leaves other people wanting more (of you) and it also creates space for you to attract (versus chase) the investment and/or partners you need.

+ Send a DM if you would like me to review your investor pitch! 🚀

HAPPY PITCHING! 💰💰💰

When in doubt, do nothing. ✨

Pause.

Take deep breaths and simply observe.

Look inward. Remember who you are. Ask yourself - who am I? Is this next choice evidence that my thinking, feelings and actions are aligned?

Pause.

Look outward. Peoples actions will show you who they are. Watch them carefully. Take it all in. Then choose powerfully. Is there someone to remove from your friend closet? Is there someone to add to your treasure chest of people who inspire and lift you up?

Take more deep breaths.

Continue to observe and do nothing.

Just for today.

Breathe it all in, breathe it all out.

Relax.

Just be.

You’re right where you’re supposed to be and it’s all happening (for you).

Happy Friday! ☀️
