True success is not defined only in one insular area of life. True success is shown in the devotion to the art of living well. True success is INTEGRATING all the parts of who we are with all the parts of what we do. That is a masterpiece of a life.

I work with all sorts of humans up to all sorts of projects in the world. They care a lot about what they do, how they do it and the people they do it with. Clients have been professional musicians, healers, business owners, nutritionists, physicians or medical professionals, artists, therapists, speakers, authors, coaches, consultants, scientists, entrepreneurs, and moms. Here are some examples (the names are changed, the stories are real.)

Emily S.

When we started, Emily was chasing her shadow running a business that she secretly hated, was draining her bank account (and soul!), and feeling like a failure. She was arguing with her spouse (about money, mostly!) and was an overwhelmed mom embarrassed by how much she was snapping at her daughter. Together, we created her way to close that soul-sucking business, dig out of debt, and step into what she really saw herself doing. She is now a paid speaker and author with raving fans. She’s debt-free with a plan to stay that way. She’s a confident, fearless force in the world. (Oh, and a side benefit is that she has more time for fun, is now a present mom and wife, and relationships are more honest and loving all around.

Jordyn A,

Jordyn had been creating in secret for years: designing amazing classes, programs, online courses, workshops, keynotes, and everything else that she’d like to be sharing with the world. She’s a healer at heart and coach/consultant by trade.

But Jordyn was broke. She hadn’t dared to yet put OUT her fine work. She was paralyzed by fear of how hard it would be, what people might think of her, how to do it exactly and the curse of the creative—-constantly tweaking and adjusting trying to get it JUST RIGHT before sharing it.

When we met, she was just about ready to call it quits on herself and the dream she loved so much. She thought something was really wrong with her—everyone else could figure out how to make a living doing what they loved—but not her. She figured she didn’t know enough yet (even though she had already spent thousands of dollars and decades of learning).

Jordyn needed some clear places to begin, custom-made systems that kept things simple and inspired and empowered application to get in ACTION. We made a plan and helped her start. Since then, she’s worked with real paying clients who LOVE working with her. She’s made real money that shows her she can do this. And she’s got a plan to help her share all those projects in her head.

Sarah M,

Sarah is an experienced, professional musician with education and high-level mentoring from a music legend. She was considering giving all that up. That’s because she was a devoted mom and wife as well and wanted to provide for her kids. She was burned out in the grind and frustrated with the scarcity of opportunities or real income in the music world—-outside of the constant hustle for gigs, that is, and trying to make it by on hourly teaching. She wasn’t sure she saw a future she liked.

With Sarah—we went back to the drawing board entirely. We looked at her life and life’s work as a blank canvas and tuned into what she really wanted to paint there. Now, she’s doing her part to innovate the music industry.

Her programs are in high demand, she’s paid well, receives raving appreciation from fans, has international opportunities to share what she’s doing, and has more energy to spend quality time with her kids and family (the most important thing to her in her world).

Danny C.,

Danny had big dreams and lots of ideas. He’s a creative at heart and lived life as a free spirit. He had started and stopped more jobs, projects, and even relationships than he could count. When we first spoke, he told me, “I know I probably need structure but I’m afraid that if I really commit and have calendars and stuff, I’ll start to hate what I’m doing and turn into a control freak that is just stressed all the time.” When we started to explore what options would work for him, we also uncovered a deep concern. He was always worried if THIS (meaning now) was the right time. It seemed like whenever in the past he had committed to do something, all sorts of things in his life would “come up” and it never seemed the right time. As a result, even though he was good at a lot of things (as a multi-passionate person) he was disheartened by the lack of results his life was showing. Together, we put together a “free spirit” plan that really lit him up. It nourished his creative energy levels and aligned his desire for freedom WITH the strategic success that he also really wanted. He started completing projects and bringing his genius ideas to life. As a result, Danny now has worked with private clients (in multiple creative ways), held successful group retreats, put together events and classes for the community, and even has a book deal coming down the line. Instead of always waiting for the right time, he decided that NOW is actually a great time to create and chose to step into his fears and concerns for commitment in order to have the contribution he really envisioned.

I hope you can start to see yourself in some of these stories. I hope you can start to see what is honest and possible for you here: in business, relationships, income, and quality of life when willing to embark on this type of artisan-level partnership dedicated to your success.
