Goals vs Numbers.... how to take the pressure off in your online business!

Goals are great, but are yours more of a wish lately?  Hate to break it to ya but wishes don't usually come true in business... You need a plan. I know you've heard this before but I want to remind you again, when you're leveling up as the leader of your business, you need to understand where you're headed. Numbers are a huge part of this.  Goals a...

Think You've Got Inflammation Happening??

Welcome to mid January!! Just want to check in with you. How's it going? I know so many of you have reached out and said you're tired of being tired after last year.   I know we usually set exciting new years resolutions that we never follow through on right about now, right?  I didn't even bother this year, did you?  Screw it, let's set intentions...

Dream Big and STOP being realistic about it!

How many times do we hear 'dream big' or 'reach for the stars' or 'you can do anything in this world if you set your mind to it'......... Tons right? But then we're constantly bombarded with opposite messages about 'being realistic' or 'make sure you're being responsible, you have xyz to think about'.... And it scares us, so we shrink down and play...

Sometimes all you can do is get through your day...

I always thought I was the kind of girl who could keep her shyte together in any situation…. until my world got rocked twice this year. Twice I could have lost one of my sons. And both times it would have been on my watch. If you’ve ever dealt with something that triggers severe anxiety you can probably relate.  Sometimes all you can do is literall...

Let's get back to basics on this whole 'health' thing, shall we?

How many of us are low on energy, feeling overwhelmed and crappy right now?   UGH, so frustrating right?!!!!   Other than the fact that it’s 2020 (which we can't blame forever #dammit), please let me ask you if you’ve gotten down to basics FIRST to make sure you’re not just missing something simple in your body.   Sounds way too easy....but the tru...

Where do you want to be when this is a distant memory?

I know right now things seem all over the place.  So much uncertainty creates uneasiness and eventually disease if we’re not careful, so we really do need to take care of ourselves physically, emotionally and financially. But what have you learned in the last month? About the world, about people, about yourself? It's weird right?  A new normal is c...

I’m just trying to figure out how to be in all of this…like who I am, you know?

Can I just say that life feels like it’s actually getting busier somehow?  I think a lot of moms are feeling this way.  It’s like pulling a triple shift.  We’re not running kids here there and everywhere so that part has slowed down but working from home, staying on top of everything your kids are doing in their own ‘new normal’, and trying to ‘slo...

Calling all #wildhearts

Dear dreamer like me.... Our time is now. This is a superbowl of sorts for us. We are the diggers, the ones with grit, the ones who will make the most impact. Yesterday was a completely different world. It will never be the same as it was. There is a huge shift happening. It has been coming for a while, and now it is here. We are the ones who show ...

It's ok that you don't know how to feel right now!

Right now none of us do.  It's ok that you feel a little scared. It's ok that you feel a little overwhlemed. It's ok that you are sad or worried or unsure. We are all going through moments of all of this too. Because we've never done this before. But it will be ok. The unknown can be freaky, I totally get that. But the known can be super comforting...

Do you feel like maybe we've been doing it wrong?

This whole life and raising kids thing I mean. We are so privileged in our society, yet we're looking under every rock and around every corner for the key to health and happiness while we are literally running ourselves into the ground. We can’t do it all. How do you work full time, eat home cooked meals, have a clean house, do laundry (the never e...

How to Get Out of Corporate and Create a Life You Love!

Stop Giving Yourself Crap!

Did you know that you are functioning on autopilot 95% of the time?? Most of what you do (or don’t do) happens by default every single day.  You shower while thinking of all the ways you can change the world, you arrive at work and don’t even remember the drive, you tell yourself you can or can’t do something when you haven’t actually explored the ...

Work a Different Way, Live a Different Way!

You grew up hearing you needed to go to school and get a good job right?   That was the so called ‘success’ formula in our society and its what we saw our parents’ generation do. So you did it, and worked your butt off climbing the corporate ladder, and became a successful professional right?  But then something happened. You couldn’t figure out wh...

I Was Scared to Be the Real Me Online!

My husband Reece called me out big time the other day! Of course I was totally defensive at first, but by the end of the convo I realized he was so right.  There I admit it, he was right.....once, ha. He said “Mare, if you could show up online as even half of who you actually are in person, your entire world would change. The person you are on the ...

Be Unapologetic About What You Want

Sounds nice doesn’t it?   Here’s what I’ve learned over my years so far. I can’t please everyone.  I don’t know if it’s my age, or that my ‘give a sh*t meter’ has gone way down, but I am no longer living the way other people think I should. Opinions fly at you from all directions at all times, but YOU are the one who matters and who decides. I am g...

Why I Choose to Work (a Different Way)

There is always so much struggle about whether we go ‘back to work’ after having our kids. It’s like the great divide. Go back or stay home. Those are the options. No one considers that you can change it up completely. When it’s a decision of either this or that, you completely lose sight of the fact that there are other ways to work and live. Part...
