My mom’s been gone from this planet for 12 days.

My mom’s been gone from this planet for 12 days. I’m not sure I’ve totally wrapped my brain around that one yet.⁣
⁣
I don’t even know how to articulate how it feels yet, because it is such a crazy, intense mix of emotions. Devastation, exhaustion, relief, confusion, anxiety, peace, love.⁣
⁣
Thankfully, she gave me a gift that no one and nothing can take away - not even her passing.⁣
⁣
She gave me her love of nature. She taught me to love the outdoors, and to find peace in the quiet moments in the trees. She showed me how the wilderness heals.⁣
⁣
She was most herself in nature, and so am I, and for that I am deeply grateful. ⁣
⁣
As I’ve begun to navigate grief and to move forward without her, the outdoors has been my sanctuary. And even though she’s gone, I know I can always step into the woods and feel a little closer to her.

📸 Photo circa 2007 at the waterfall above Hanging Lake. She was an inspiration to me, coming from sea level and getting after it every time she came to visit me in the Colorado Rockies!

I know what you’re thinking... “what?! I have

I know what you’re thinking... “what?! I have to work from home and homeschool the kids and take the dog to the vet and meal plan and grocery shop and check on my parents and buy more masks and try to still get my workout in!!! I don’t have time for an adventure!!”⁣
⁣
I know. We all have a lot on our plates, our unique struggles, and worries about the world. It’s a LOT. It can be overwhelming. ⁣
⁣
But let me ask you this: What would it FEEL like if you had something FUN to look forward to this week? How would that change the way you moved through the week?⁣
⁣
Even if you only have 30 minutes on one single day, you can make time for a mini-adventure. How can you get out of your routine? How can you get outside and soak up some fall sunshine? What can you do to shake up the routine? What can you do to lose yourself in sheer joy for just a little while?⁣
⁣
How would that SERVE you and the people around you?⁣
⁣
So, what adventure can you plan in the next 5 days? Big or small, go put it on your calendar right now, and share with us in the comments!⁣

Fall always gets me dreaming about skiing ⛷ ⁣

Fall always gets me dreaming about skiing ⛷ ⁣
⁣
Like, literally dreaming... sometimes I wake up and realize, damn, it’s only September, I wasn’t really skiing 2 feet of powder! 😂 ⁣
⁣
Who’s with me? Are you dreaming about pow or still soaking up the last of summer weather? Let me know in the comments!

Hi. It’s been a minute (ok it’s been 5 weeks).

Hi. It’s been a minute (ok it’s been 5 weeks).⁣
⁣
I took a break from social media for a while while I was visiting my family for a month on the east coast. Things there were tough at times, but also bittersweet and special. I’m extraordinarily grateful for my time there. ⁣
⁣
When I wasn’t with family, I took a lot of solo hikes in the woods. Sometimes I’d even take off my shoes and dip my feet in a creek, just to feel more connected to nature. It was grounding. It was calming. And I felt a deep sense of peace even with everything stressful that’s going on.⁣
⁣
What’s been your top grounding practice this summer? What makes you feel the most peaceful?

Eerie smoky melancholy evening. Thinking of all my western slope friends ❤️

I’ve been quiet on here for over a week. Things have been...all over the place...for a while.⁣
⁣
The past month traveling in our van was good. Really good. We rode epic trails and paddled over half a dozen different lakes and rivers. We drank coffee/tea on the beach. We swam in cool alpine lakes. And my IG has looked like an REI ad to prove it 😂⁣
⁣
But I admittedly have not felt in alignment as much as I’ve wanted. My family’s been struggling. Turns out dealing w/ cancer + Covid at the same time effing sucks.⁣
⁣
Like just about every other human being on the planet right now, 2020 has brought up some weird stuff for me. Stuff I never would’ve anticipated, and that’s not even speaking about the pandemic. And it hasn’t been easy.⁣
⁣
So I finally decided to reach out for some help. ⁣
⁣
I was hesitant at first. I mean, now that I’m a coach, I should be able to coach myself, right?⁣
⁣
But when I thought about it I realized, even the greatest leaders get coached. Even the strongest struggle some days. Big names like Brooke Castillo and @amyporterfield have coaches. Even the lead instructor from my coach training program, @transformcoachingacademy (who has been coaching for 20 years!) has a coach!⁣
⁣
I deserve help. I deserve to feel good. I deserve to be supported so I can show up as a light for the world.⁣
⁣
I’m here to tell you that YOU DESERVE THE SAME.⁣
⁣
2020 has sucked for a lot of us, but you don’t have to suffer. Reach out. Talk to a friend. Find a coach. Go to a therapist. Get whatever help you need (and deserve) to THRIVE.⁣
⁣
💫 It’s ok to not be ok. 💫⁣
⁣
And it’s also ok to ask for help. The world needs you. You woke up this morning because you still have a purpose on this planet. You have gifts you were meant to share.⁣
⁣
You deserve to thrive, my friend ❤️⁣
⁣
And if you wanna chat, please DM me; I’m here. If you’re stuck or not sure where or how to get help, hit me up. I promise you, there are always ways to make life better - even in these weird times.⁣
⁣
Thanks so much to my sweet friend @mjhanley1 for asking me to join the challenge of #womenempoweringwomen 😍🤗⁣

How do you make space for inspiration?

For me, the most powerful way to get inspired in my biz is to completely unplug in nature - preferably off the grid (out of cell range!) if possible. And no music, no podcasts, no distractions of any kind.

I’ve learned that taking this time for ME is so much more effective than anything I can do in my office to pump up the inspiration. And I come back bursting with ideas and ready to rock! I’m SO much more productive, too.

It sounds so simple, but this might be best business hack you’ve never heard any of the gurus talk about. Trust me, it works!!

And if you’re needing some inspiration to get outside yourself, make sure you catch my most recent IGTV!

Sometimes it can be easy to get sucked into thinking about what you don’t have, and forget how good you really have it.

Last night, Brian started swooning over a campervan parked near us that had a slide-out compartment and an a/c unit on top. Petty soon he’d spent 2 hours on YouTube dreaming of all the snazzy features you can get in a van - an indoor shower, a bed that raises and lowers electronically, a freezer, all the bells and whistles. And I was into it too... imagine road tripping to humid South and sleeping in the cool air conditioning... with ice cream on board!

But this morning we woke up to a bluebird sky, with this gorgeous view. We sat with our tea and coffee, soaking up the sun in our camp chairs, listening to the birds sing around us. And we remembered just how good we already have it. Being able to live out of our van for a month with no agenda or schedule feels like the ultimate luxury. It doesn’t matter how fancy our rig is, this freedom is 100% priceless.

I’m not saying it’s wrong to want more or dream bigger. But sometimes when we do this, we forget how good we’ve already got it.

So wherever you are, whatever your dream - take time to just be grateful for how far you’ve already come, what you’ve already achieved, and all the goodness you’ve already attained.

I believe that tuning into this gratitude brings more great things into our lives. But if nothing else, giving thanks for what you already have just makes life that much sweeter.

What are you grateful for today?
