it's actually the
whole fucking point.

the hill I will die on:

being who you are isn't something you compromise

Because somewhere along the way, you got incredibly good at being the version of yourself that worked for everyone else.

And forgot to make sure it worked for you, too. Let's fix that.

it sounds obvious, yes?

Until you realize how much of your life you've built around being reasonable, responsible, good at things, and easy to understand.

We're talking about:

the idea you've been privately thinking about for two years because saying it out loud would make it too real
the thing you want that would disappoint some folks who are extremely comfortable with the current arrangement
the thing you've gotten really good at that you secretly don't want to do anymore

The thing doesn’t have to be enormous. It just has to matter to you.

Maybe it changes everything. Maybe it changes one small but important thing.

I’ve spent 16 years working with women who are very good at making things happen and still have big, weird ideas they can't stop thinking about.

Bring me the tangled pile of wants:

the eight ideas that don't seem related
the business problem that might actually be an identity problem
and the want that makes absolutely no strategic sense but refuses to leave nonetheless

This is where my magic lives. I hear the thing underneath the thing. I notice what's missing, what's an old story, what you're not saying, and the thread connecting everything that seemed random.

Then we do something about it. Maybe it's a decision, an experiment, or the sentence you've been trying to articulate for six months. One brave move after another, towards something real and something unmistakably you-shaped.

(Which is where I come in.)

No matter what, though, wanting something different means doing something different. And that's where things get uncomfortable.

Okay, wait. But why me?

I've got nearly 2 decades of receipts:

I once set out to get 100 rejection letters and accidentally started a movement.

100 REJECTION LETTERS

I blew up my own definition of success, gave myself a Grown-Up Gap Year, and have taught hundreds of women to do the same.

GROWN-UP GAP YEAR

My podcast has been downloaded nearly 3 million times across 400+ conversations about creativity, courage, work, and becoming.

~3 MILLION DOWNLOADS

Courses. Communities. Workshops. Workbooks. Keynotes. Podcasts. Merit badges. Bingo cards. Essays. Experiments. Pivots. So many pivots.

A RIDICULOUS BODY OF WORK

OH, AND... THOUSANDS of brilliant women taught, coached, challenged, encouraged, and occasionally lovingly called on their bullshit.

My work literally changes lives.

(Yeah. I said it.)

Some of my clients changed careers. Some built businesses. Some made art. Some finally said the thing out loud. Some found bravery they never knew they were capable of.

But whatever they did, no matter what, they stopped waiting for someone else to tell them what their lives were allowed to become.

And since the women I work with make things, lead things, build things, raise people, employ people, teach people, create culture, and change rooms just by walking into them differently, the impact of our time together doesn't stop with them.

If you think anybody's humanity, whether they're trans, queer, Black, an immigrant, is up for debate or that only certain people deserve to be fully, unapologetically who they are, we are not a good fit. Full stop.

WHEN I SAY EVERYONE
GETS TO BE FULLY WHO THEY ARE,

I MEAN EVERYONE.

and, before we go:

What's the thing you can't stop thinking about? Let's see what happens when you give it a real chance...

SOOOO CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOU NOW?

FIND OUT HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

The Business of Being Yourself is where I talk about work, business, creativity, money, ambition, and what happens when the life you built stops fitting quite like it used to.

Expect real-time experiments, income reports, things I'm figuring out as I go, and zero pretending I've cracked the code on being a person.
