Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! You are not your shortcomings. So why do we spend so much energy focusing on them? I sent a beta version of my new 12 Principles of Self-Leadership Assessment to about 30 people—friends, former colleagues, and new connections in my entrepreneurial world. All high-achieving, successful professionals. And then my phone starts lighting up: “This question hit me hard.” “The report looks as polished as the big names.” “Holy sh*t… I feel like a failure.” “I...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! I’m writing this from a small, bustling café in Watch Hill, glass of chilled white wine in hand, my husband across from me, and the (adult) kids wandering the shops. We’re on vacation, and yet my mind can’t help but come back to something I’ve been building. “I’m building The Bold Revolution,” I say out loud. He listens, then gently reminds me how hard building a business is. He doesn’t say this in a discouraging way; it’s in a way that says I see the...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! It’s Monday evening and I’m reading an article on breakthroughs. One woman shared a story about her judgment toward her friend group. An elite, extreme group of runners who train and compete at levels she couldn’t imagine. Her thought? “Why spend so much time pushing yourself that far? Take a break. Have fun. Add some joy.” Then she had a breakthrough. She realized her judgment wasn’t about them at all. It wasn’t because they didn’t hang out with her or...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! If you're feeling stuck right now… you’re not alone. Whether you're building a business, navigating a career change, or simply craving more from your life, there’s one thing that sneaks in quietly and does more damage than we realize. You start to hold back with a lurking feeling and quiet inner voice that says… "What if I’m not good enough?" "What if I can’t handle more?" "What if I fail… or worse, succeed and get overwhelmed?" This is your upper limit...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! What does aesthetics mean to you? A client recently shared her definition of aesthetics, and something clicked for me. As she described its meaning, a light bulb went off in my mind. We weren’t just talking about the visual kind (though I love a clean, thoughtful vibe), we went deeper into how something feels. The rhythm. The energy. The experience. The discussion led me to learning something important about myself. I need beauty, structure, and room to...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! This week started rough. And it's showing up in the time of day you're getting this. Normally I send The Shift on Sunday mornings at 8:05. When I set things up for this week, I accidentally selected PM. It's okay, things happen for a reason. I got to make an adjustment before sending. Now let me tell you about the past rough week... You know that feeling when you're running on fumes, operating on pure autopilot? That was me. Compassion drained, energy...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! This past week was heavy. We made the heartbreaking decision to put our beagle, Augustus Knoll (“Augie”), down, just three days after his 14th birthday. He was family. For my kids, who are 21 and almost 19, this was their first real love and, now, their first real loss. The house feels emptier. Our hearts definitely do. The presence he commanded, the unconditional love he gave and we returned. It’s hard to put into words. It was simply time. It might...

Hello and good day Reader,☀️ Welcome to The Sunday Shift! I was deep in research for my book last week, coffee getting cold, papers scattered everywhere, when I stumbled across a stat that made me stop scrolling: Only 6% of people actually achieve the goals they set. Here's the breakdown: about 20% of people even bother setting goals, and only 30% of those actually follow through. So we're talking about 94% of people who either never commit to something meaningful or give up somewhere along...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! This past Monday, I started the week in my zone of genius, surrounded by hundreds of coaching colleagues at a professional conference. It was educational, inspiring, and filled me up in ways I didn't even know I needed. As an introvert, I set a goal to connect with at least ten people. In the past, at other industry events, I'd find one familiar face and hover nearby. But this time, something clicked. It was different and I felt in my element. I had a...

Hi Reader, Welcome to The Sunday Shift! And happy Father's Day to all the magnificent Dads🩵 This week, I want to share how five words from a stranger changed the trajectory of my business by reigniting my vision, “You must write a book.” In early January, after launching my business, I received a message from someone in a like-minded entrepreneurial community. We lived in the same city, but had never connected. I pushed myself to say yes to the opportunity. He was wintering in a warmer state,...
