It's that busy time of year with presents to wrap, cookies to bake, feasts to prepare, and not to mention all of the holiday parties that fill our calendars.

As busy women, we're used to being the givers, but what if, just for a moment, we allowed ourselves to be the receivers?

You turn everyday items into thoughtful gifts. Your home has been transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland. You've gone to great lengths to ensure everyone's favorite dishes and cookies find their place on the holiday table.

Yet, consider this: What if, instead of pouring more of yourself into giving, you shifted your focus toward receiving?

This isn't to suggest abandoning your festive duties, but rather, taking precious moments to care for yourself. Picture yourself pausing for a cup of coffee/tea, savoring it in silence for just ten minutes, allowing yourself to receive the nourishment your soul craves.

Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, how can you replenish your own cup through the act of receiving?

Perhaps it's letting someone else hold the door for you or allowing another mom to take the reins of the school holiday party.

Where can you relinquish control and graciously accept help from others? And where can you draw strength from the spirit, the divine, or the universe—whatever resonates with you personally?

Think about the sensation or feeling of receiving. What does it feel like?

For me, receiving starts with gratitude, like acknowledging the oxygen that sustains my body and for the nourishment that food provides.

Look at receiving as a feeling not just an "action". It's the feeling that connects you to the world around you.

So, I ask you, what are you receiving this holiday season?

What if this year, the holidays weren't a race to the finish line but a leisurely stroll through everything you love most about the season? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What if you could weave joy into every day without the 'should-dos' and 'must-dos'?

Stay tuned for something special I've been crafting just for you—a guide to turning the holiday narrative on its head to one of peace, presence, and personal joy.

Because this season, it's time to breathe deeply, celebrate mindfully, and truly make the holidays your own. 🌟

What is your 'Sacred Self'? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's that core essence - the most authentic version of you.

We often drift from this core in our busy lives as we go to work, drive kids to sports and activities, do laundry, and all the other things that keep us busy as women, wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends.

But reconnecting to your Sacred Self is what reignites your passions, clarifies your purpose, and aligns your actions with your true desires. 🌟

Take a moment today: close your eyes, breathe deep, and ask, 'Who am I at my core?'

Listen. Your Sacred Self is waiting to guide you.

Have you ever felt like something is missing as you navigate this phase of life? Or do you feel there must be something more than the routine of work, driving to kids' activities, cooking dinner, watching TV, doing laundry, and falling asleep? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Perhaps you're seeking a deeper connection to yourself or a renewed spark of passion and purpose. ✨

Enter Subconscious Creativity. 🎨✍️

Our subconscious mind is a treasure trove of memories, emotions, and insights that often remain unexplored. By tapping into its depths, we can unlock creativity that's been waiting to be discovered.

Imagine rekindling old passions, discovering new ones, and viewing your life through a lens of endless possibilities. All by connecting with the creative energy that's been residing in you all along. 🌊💡

Midlife is not about "finding" yourself. It's about "creating" yourself anew. And your subconscious creativity might just be the missing piece you've been seeking.

Dive deep. Discover. Reignite. 🔥

Join us on this journey and witness the magic of subconscious creativity. ✨💖

Let's embrace the magic of midlife and reignite our soul passions. 💖✨

As members of GenX, we often find ourselves in a unique dance of love, patience, and responsibility.

As I write this I’m sitting in the car out of the 100+ degree heat while waiting for baseball practice to wrap up.

We’re raising children, caring for aging parents, and managing work responsibilities all at once. We’re the ‘Sandwich Generation’, perfectly positioned between the vibrant energy of youth and the wisdom of our elders, doing our best for both.

In the swirl of school drop-offs, doctor’s visits, deadlines, and endless caregiving, where’s the time for us?

The answer might be simpler than you imagine: Stillness. 🌟

Stillness isn’t about mere silence; it’s a deep-rooted calm amidst life’s tumult. Just a few moments each day to sit, breathe, and be truly present can become your anchor, giving you strength and serenity amidst the chaos.

In this pause, you can:

1. Reflect on your unique journey 🌅
2. Recharge for the challenges ahead 🔋
3. Rediscover joy in those fleeting moments 🎈

Being pulled in countless directions is a GenX normal, but remember, finding your center can be as uncomplicated as one deep, intentional breath.

Join our and let’s navigate this GenX journey together, finding the peace we all seek.

Who you are is your gift to the world. 💫

Last week, as I blew out my birthday candles, I took some time to ponder the roller coaster of life, particularly the midlife transition. 🎂🌟

Let's debunk a myth together - midlife is not a crisis! It's an opportunity, a phase for reinvention and rediscovering ourselves. I like to think of it as a Modern Midlife Awakening.💫

Usually kicking in between the ages of 40 and 55, this awakening is our chance to reevaluate our path, challenge old norms, and start the hunt for deeper fulfillment. It's a time for new passions, our own definition of success, and pursuing long-put-aside dreams.🌈

To journey through this exciting phase, I discovered the power of a Legacy Life Map. 🗺️ This unique tool uses our subconscious imagery to visualize our deepest desires and lay out a roadmap to achieve them. It becomes our north star during this significant transition, guiding us from feeling stuck to confidently stepping into a life that matches our core values and passions.✨

So, the Modern Midlife Awakening is not just about recognizing the challenges we encounter, but it's also a celebration of the strength, resilience, and wisdom that age graces us with. It's all about anticipating the beautiful possibilities that lay ahead with optimism and excitement. 🎉

I'd love for you to join me on this beautiful journey. In the coming weeks, I'll share more insights into the magic of the Legacy Life Map and how it can be your compass through your midlife awakening.🧭

Until then, remember: Every new day brings a chance for growth and self-discovery. 🌻

Success means different things to different people. As an entrepreneur, it's important to define what "success" means to you. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For me, success means not just financial growth in my business but also the freedom to pick up my kids from school, assist them with homework, cook family dinners, and support them during their sports games.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What does "success" mean to you?

You may have noticed 🤔.....there has been a recent rise in AI tools in entrepreneurship. Many of the business tools I use have already integrated AI in some capacity. 🤖​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
AI can certainly help produce content more efficiently, but it can never replicate the unique perspective, intuition, and originality that comes with human creativity - the creativity that comes from being uniquely you! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As humans, we crave connection, and ultimately, it is your creative intuition that will fuel innovation and progress in our world.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, what are your thoughts on AI? Have you had a chance to experiment with it yet? I'd love to hear your perspective in the comments.

Don't underestimate the power of your imagination! Every great idea starts as a thought in the mind's eye. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Imagination allows you to see beyond what is currently possible so you can create new ideas, products, and services that can change the world. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How can you ignite your imagination?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Reading books can help expand your imagination and give you new ideas.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Trying new things like a new hobby or skill can help stimulate imagination and bring new ideas to the surface.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-Do something you enjoy or find relaxing. Regular breaks from your work to recharge and relax can help improve your imagination and creativity.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Once ignited, your imagination will help you develop unique solutions, innovative ideas, and strategies that set you apart from the crowd.​​​​​​​​

You have a unique advantage that sets you apart from your competition, your intuition. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Yet many times, as a female entrepreneur, you downplay this powerful tool and dismiss it as just a feeling. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You don't trust it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What if I told you that your intuition could be the key to unlocking the full potential of your business? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Honoring your instincts and incorporating them into your decision-making process can lead to more business success.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Following my own intuition led me to turn my "blog" into a global business. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Eight years ago, I started posting kid-friendly creative activities for parents because I had young children and a passion to help grow their creativity. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These "activities" grew into helping educators and young children across the world help develop their creative and critical thinking through interdisciplinary learning experiences. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Don't let intuition be just a feeling. Turn it into your business superpower.​​​​​​​​

Have you noticed more "change" in your life, even though we are only a month into the year?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We (humanity) are going through a period of significant change, a collective wake-up to where the old ways of living aren't working - in business or life.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You have a unique set of gifts and talents to help us move forward in new ways. But first, you must be aware of the gut feeling inside of you that is trying to bring your attention to the needed change. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It could be a change in jobs/business, projects, moving to a new area, or letting go of a relationship. It could be a change in what you eat or even drinking more water.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I've changed my home office environment, which has created space for new opportunities to show up. I feel different within the space, allowing me to show up differently for those I help. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Whatever change is showing up for you, now is the time to explore this gut feeling, even if it doesn't make logical sense. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Be aware of it. That is all you have to do. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Look at what keeps showing up for you over and over. What is trying to get your attention that may need to be changed?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And if you read this far down, this message is FOR YOU!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So what "change" keeps popping up for you?

"Are you feeling like your chosen "word of the year" isn't quite working? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One common mistake I see people make is thinking that one "word" has to guide you for the entire year. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Instead, select a word that aligns with your current goals, intentions, and focus. Pick a word that will help in achieving your goals at this present now moment. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Let me know in the comments, what is your "word" for right now.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
"

The new moon is a symbol of new beginnings and fresh starts, especially in this first new moon of the new year. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Use this energy to let go of the past and open yourself up to new possibilities. Take the time to reflect on what you want to create and set intentions for the future. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is the perfect time to put your "word of the year" into action. Use the energy of this fresh start to set intentions and put your word into action. Remember, your word is not just a word, it's an intention for the energy you want to bring into your life. ​​​​​​​​

Do you know your top values? How do they align with your business?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Freedom and family are two top values of mine (along with creativity) ;) ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Until a few years ago, I never considered how my top values aligned with my work as an entrepreneur. Back then, I only had a little extra time as I started growing my business during nap time and evenings while being home with three young kids under 5. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But today, I am well aware and so grateful for what is important to me, like the flexibility of cooking dinner at 4:30 pm because we have a busy evening filled with three different basketball games.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As the intuitive innovator in my business, I ensure that my day is built around what is important to me, like avoiding the day-old hot dog at the concession stand and the not-so-great fast food choices at the drive-thru.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What's important to you? How do your values show up in your business?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I've learned a lot in my years of growing my business, and I'm sharing my three top tips with my friend, Patty Dominguez, and her virtual summit: D@mn, Wish somebody would've told me that. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This summit highlights 33 fellow women in business, each with a story to share. I'm one of the featured speakers and am excited to share my own THREE TIPS. I've learned a lot along my journey. And hopefully, it helps you. ​​​​​​​​

Do you choose a word of the year? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It's been trendy the last few years to pick a "word of the year" rather than declare a new year's resolution. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But has your word of the year become like a new year's resolution? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you pick a word that feels good today but then forget about it a month from now?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you put your "word" into action to create what you want this year?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And what happens if, a few months from now, your word no longer resonates with you?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I've been picking a word of the year for the last five years, but it's only been the last couple of years I have put it into action. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Words are powerful. But they can also be magical when we apply our will and intent behind them. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Choosing a word of the year is a great way to focus your energy and attention on something positive for the upcoming year. But it is essential to select a word that is meaningful to you and will help you achieve whatever goals you have set for yourself. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'm putting the final touches on our masterclass, One Word Magic, where I will show you the exact steps to choose a word that really resonates, how to apply it to what you want to create this year, and how to make room for magic to happen. To learn more about the upcoming masterclass, click the link in our bio or in our stories.​​​​​​​​

Unpause & Game On

Do you remember the scene in the movie "Wayne's World" where Wayne and Garth are playing street hockey, and they yell, "Game on," when the street is clear to play?

After being what felt like on "pause" the last few years, the energy to me now feels like "GAME ON."

But the old ways of doing things just aren't working the same. To reach that next level of success in your business (or even life), we must create new ways of doing, thinking, and being.

Maybe you don't have any "new" ideas, but are you tired of feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your business? Or maybe what you've done in the past isn't lighting you up the same way anymore.

Are you craving a change but unsure what that is?

By tuning into your intuition, you will begin to connect to your natural abilities and use your unique skills to create new innovative solutions.

This is how we change the world. It starts with you listening to yourself. You don't need the latest list-building strategy or that shiny new gadget/app/course. It all starts with listening to your inner guidance.

If you're ready to start innovating your business/life this year, post a "game on" in the comments below. And if you're ready to take the next action step, sign up for our weekly-ish newsletter.

Game on.

Ego-Built Entrepreneur vs. Intuitive Innovator​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you direct your business based on what they think they "should" do and how it will look or appear to others?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
-or-​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you direct your business based on your inner knowingness and are confident to take creative action even if it doesn't always make logical sense?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

💫The Intuitive Innovator 💫

Do you feel an urge to create something new or have an urge to go a different path?

We are in a unique time where the same old ways, methods and processes aren’t going to take your business to that next level.

If you’re reading this than I’m going to guess that you’ve already had some urge or nudge to create something new, start a new project or make a pivot in what you are currently doing.

While everyone is focused on fear right now, what would happen if you leaned into your intuition and followed your creative ideas.

You born to create, even if you don’t think of yourself as “creative.”

As an entrepreneur you make creative decisions all day. When you combine your intuition + creativity that is when innovation takes action.

This week’s creative intuitive card. What do you see? What feelings comes up for you?

Intuitive collating is one way to tap into your creative intuition. When you get silent and listen to your inner voice that is when the break throughs come.

I’ll post in the comments what message came through to me while creating this card.

Creative intuition is your ability to bring your inner voice ideas into existence - to make the invisible {{visible}}. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Innovation is putting your creative ideas into action. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What idea or project have you been putting off? What if you took the first step to implement that idea/project today?

💫 Working harder doesn’t guarantee success. 💫​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In today’s culture, it’s all about more – more hustle, more followers, and more content equals more money. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But the past two years changed us. It has changed us individually and as a global community. As a species, we are evolving. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So what does that mean for your business?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is an excellent time to reflect on where YOU need to change in your business. Not change your business, but change how you are “being” within your business. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How can you further your talents while helping and serving others?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How can you lead your brand from the heart? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is the next level of business. And it starts with you.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

💫 You are a creator. 💫​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You create every day even if you don't consider yourself "creative." ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You create stories about who you are and what you can achieve. So why not create what you love? 🤷‍♀️❤️💥

How do you begin to tap into your intuition?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Take a look at this image. What do you see? What does it say to you? What feelings come up for you?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is one simple way to ignite your intuition and reconnect to your inner creator self. Once you're tapped into your intuition and creativity -- you are unstoppable! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Read the comments to see the message I received from this intuitive collage card.

Intuition + Creativity = Innovation​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you begin to make a greater impact with your business?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you stand out from the crowd?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you express who you are inside of your brand?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your creative intuition is essential to innovating your business to the next level so you can stand out from the competition.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
By tapping into your intuition, you will begin to gain insight into new creative ideas, services, or new ways of doing things. When you put these creative ideas into action, that's innovation. ​​​​​​​​

In the comments, let me know if you have followed your intuition to make a business decision, even if it wasn't logical!

​​​​​​​​
Are you creating more chaos or peace in your life?​​​​​​​​
