We never really know what’s around the next corn

We never really know what’s around the next corner, do we? (Well, I happen to know what’s around this corner because it’s my house :))

The key to navigating not knowing and uncertainty is to be open to possibilities and growth. To ask a lot of questions, including “what if?”

When I’m working with my team on a solution for something unknown in our business I often say “this is so exciting!”

We may fail and learn, but we also may soar!! Honestly, both of those are exciting to me.

When you’re faced with a new circumstance, and don’t know what’s around the corner, how do you react?

What are you listening to these days?

Last year, I got real about what I was listening to, who I was following on social media, and what I was reading. And you know what? It was a whole heck of a lot of white people!

I decided to do something about it. I wanted new ideas and perspectives from other races, sexual orientations, and body types.

Learning about the experiences of others who didn’t grow up like me or don’t look like me has been such a gift. I’m growing and I feel like I’m becoming more empathetic—and empathy is something the world could definitely use more!

Be honest: are you stretching and listening to many sources or do you stick to the same perspectives all the time?

How I'm taking more action on my antiracist journey. Thanks to my insta-friend @deidrariggs and her daughter for reminding me to show up again and share an update on the anti-racist work I'm doing in my life and business. Also check out @trudilebron for support and the books I mentioned from Mikki Kendall and @iamrachelricketts

The vibe in my client’s pool house is so cheerful. I mean, how could you not be in a good mood here? 😉

This blue painting is my favorite part of my client’s living room. I love thinking about the creative genius behind it.

I honed my painting skills earlier this year through a weekly watercolor course. I loved it because it took me out of my head and put me into flow. Do you have any activities like that?

Cultivating your creativity is a great way to bring more joy into your week. The more you prioritize creativity, the more of it you invite into your life. And practicing that thing that lights you up can also help you move past a creative block.

Has anyone else picked up a new creative activity during COVID?

Sometimes you’ve got to throw open the curtains

Sometimes you’ve got to throw open the curtains to let the sunshine bring in new energy. Just like this cheerful, bright & beautiful client dining room.

I think the same is true of people. When we check in on ourselves, we can find ways to shift our energy to open ourselves up to new possibilities and results.

I used to make decisions from my head in a controlling, forceful way. And now, I’m making decisions from my heart and my body, which is a much more nurturing, and pleasurable place to be. I am more present and feel more ease and joy while working from my heart. I’m more connected to my truest desires, too.

Do you make decisions from your heart or with your head?

When it comes to making decisions in your work or

When it comes to making decisions in your work or in your life, do you look inside or outside of yourself for the answer?

It may sound scary, but you have to learn to look inside yourself for the answers and to trust your instincts. You can’t always look to outside sources when it comes to making decisions. ✅

Now, there’s nothing wrong with reading about new ideas or looking for inspiration as long as you know that you are enough and already have the wisdom within you.

Looking outside yourself might only send you on a never ending quest for the answer. Who has time for that?!

The truth is, there’s no one but you who can show you the way. So go ahead, look within, trust yourself, and start doing what you feel is truly right for you!

Save this post as a reminder to trust yourself the next time you’re faced with making a decision.

This corner of my client’s home is the perfect area for a deep conversation.

If I could sit and have a conversation here with anyone, it would be Brene Brown for sure!

Her work on vulnerability and “the magic & messiness of what it means to be human” inspire me and I can’t get enough of her podcast, Unlocking Us.

Who would you like to sit down with for a conversation?
