Where in your life are you saying “yes” to things without even thinking about it? We all do things with our time that we’d rather use to do something else. When you say “yes” to everything, your calendar fills up and before you realize it, there’s no time left to do what feels yummy and delicious to you.

Reclaiming self-centeredness is about making sure your needs, desires, preferences, and problems are taken care of so you can care for others, and I’m exploring how to start today.

Even if you pick just one thing to implement, I promise, it’s going to have a huge impact on your goals, career, and overall life satisfaction.

Listen in to hear six pieces of wisdom that can change your life for the better, and how you can take this work deeper with me if you don’t want the coaching to stop there.

One of my clients in Satisfied AF has a beloved cat who is the light of her life. He inspired a genius concept called anything for the baby.

One hurdle that tends to get in the way of people’s dreams, goals, and ideas is a “why bother” mindset.

Most of us tend to think conflict is something we can opt out of entirely. Or at least we try to. We think that having conflict in our relationships points to a misalignment or disconnection. But what if having conflict is like pooping? What if it’s something that’s meant to happen and is actually a sign of a healthy, happy life?

Many of us go through life with a vague feeling of malaise and dissatisfaction without actually being able to identify what it is that’s troubling us. I have just the thing that will help you better understand how to create more satisfaction in your life. It’s called The Satisfaction Audit.
