Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs, and sometimes my plans and intentions don’t align with reality. I often experience moments when I fall short of my own expectations, whether it’s not starting the challenge I planned or failing to complete all the tasks I set for myself. In these moments, it’s essential for me to practice self-kindness and self-compassion, reminding myself that I am only human and that perfection is not the goal. Let’s explore the importance of being kind to myself and embracing imperfection when things don’t go as planned. Releasing the Need for Perfection One of…

I woke up this morning with such an ominous feeling and just knew something would happen. Two hours later, I got a text from one of my clients saying that they would really talk to me if I had any time today based on how she was describing her project initially and what I was actually doing and that we weren’t gelling correctly.

I will NEVER be the person who pretends to have to all together (unless you’re a prospective client – then I’m perfect). But I want to have it at least 80% together or pretend to. For years I have been searching to find the right tools to achieve the organization levels I have imagined for myself and seen from some of my favourite entrepreneurs.
