This little light of mine...😍 . The past months have been an up and down, energetic struggle for me. Balancing multiple business ventures & projects, family / holidays, travel and kids getting sick.... . ...along with my passion for giving back....and, of course, my journey in and around political discourse... . But then I get this pic from my daughter’s teacher! . It reminds me: be happy. Because that’s the whole point to all of this stuff called Life ❤️
My mini-me and me... enjoying our family & a feast in beautiful Las Vegas 🇵🇭 ❤️
We’re getting the band back together....well at least for 1 night 😂🏝#caligirls #venicebeach
Nothing to hide here! Just a drool stain from her brother, front and center 😂 REMINDER: . NEVER HIDE WHO YOU ARE. Speak up. Take a stand. Be you, unapologetically. Life is too short to worry about “fitting in” or pleasing others...especially at the expense of your soul ❤️
🗳 from the crib #noexcuses ✅ Here’s my smug voter’s selfie 🤳
✅ 🗳 Did you?
2 croupy kids 😷 + 2 exhausted parents 😴...but we pulled it together for 1 pic 🎃 ... P.S. Happy 5-year anniversary, babe! 😂 ❤️ 🥂
Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall 🍁 ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald . My favorite time of year, friends! 🍂Sit back & enjoy the ride... 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎃
The henna has faded, but the experience remains! Such is life... at least I got a good photo for my feed 😂🧘‍♀️✨ . Speaking of capturing the goodness, don’t let this year pass you by! I see a lot of people’s dreams/goals get put in the back burner or swept away in the chaos of the holiday months. . It doesn’t have to be that way! Think of what’s most important to you, prioritize appropriately (meaning you need to MAKE HARD CHOICES) and then: rise, sister, rise. . Need a hit of motivation or some clarity? My friend @claire_cleary and I will be on LIVE tomorrow over on my FB Biz page at 3pm EST / 1pm MST to discuss. See you there! 💥
Friends are the family you choose ❤️ I’ve chosen wisely! You clean up real good, @theresammohan 😂
A week ago, I posted a pix of the beautiful Fall foliage 🍁 🍂 ... Today, it’s the first Winter snow?! ❄️ ⛄️ Changing of the seasons: she’s here! ❤️ #winteriscoming
The old antequated way: “don’t discuss politics.” . I took a small break from social media posting, mainly after struggling with reading some of the comments and posts last week regarding US politics. As a sexual assault survivor & feminist, I’m always appalled to see other women bash women, particularly rape or assault survivors. Especially Moms with vulnerable children. . SMH. To me, women hiding behind their illusion of privilege or being the vocal piece of sexism (basically acting like men’s puppets and pushing the agenda of patriarchy) is as sad as black people holding down and discrediting the plight of the black community. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. . Which brings me to my 2nd point: discrimination is discrimination. If you truly believe in equality, you need to walk the walk: ALL discrimination is wrong whether it’s over race, religion, gender, sexuality, class, nationality...AND NEVER FORGET THAT WE COME IN COMBINATIONS. . There are layers of prejudice and most people fit into more than 1 category, which makes it more complicated to face (for instance a black transgender person or a multi-racial gay individual). . 3rd point: silence is acceptance. Pretending your racist neighbor is still okay to hang out with if you don’t actually discuss race is indirect compliance. Engaging in discriminatory behavior all in the name of your “fiscal or conservative beliefs” makes you basically a bigot. Don’t pretend it’s okay. . I try hard to love everyone, and the last couple weeks have once again proven difficult. To me, a lot of it comes down to human being’s primal instinct to AVOID CHANGE. “Make America Great Again” sounds like the slogan for “I Hate Change.” . But it’s time for us to evolve as a species SOCIALLY, just as we have technologically. Change like this is good and resisting cultural evolution is just holding ourselves back. 💥
Drinking the kool-aid!🥤 Not really.....but just getting out there and networking with some like-minded & SMART WOMEN (who just happened to go to my alma mater @northwesternu) . ✅ What are you all doing to surround yourself with up-leveling inspiration, energy, knowledge & encouragement? . 💥 Many cities are hosting Start Up Weeks for Founders, Leaders & Business Innovators this month. I know we have one here in Denver @denstartupweek and it’s next week! . I’ll be there and joining in on the discussions in a couple workshops. Hit me up if you’re going!
OOPSIES 🙊 Do you buy into "THE RULES?" . When you do...you start to LOSE YOURSELF. You buy into what Vishen Lakhiani calls “The Brules” or a bunch of bullsh#% rules. . You know the ones: “It takes money to make money.” “You have to have 1,000 people on your email list in order to generate $100 dollars in sales.” or “You can only lose weight by doing X, Y, and Z…and in that exact order.” . Let me tell you something about Brules. They are crusty, old-fashioned and they are for BASIC people. . And YOU ARE NOT BASIC. Not at all. . Things are exactly how you make them to be: if you buy into complicated, detailed plans that say “this is the only way,” then it will always be “the only way.” YOU DID THAT. . If you say, “Being a successful business woman requires time, effort, long hours and access to plenty of cash,” then that will be your experience. . Obstacles, barriers, exhaustion, burn out, stress, feelings of inadequacy, feelings that you’re not ready or good enough… it’s all what you pick and choose to buy into. . ✅And SIDE NOTE: most of the rules weren’t made for Women. Or Women who weren’t born into the world of money or “privilege.” Or Women of Color. Or Women who are bright shining examples of individuality and unique expression. . Sorry, but you don’t fit into that kind of box. . So why do you listen? Believe? . What would your life be like tomorrow if you woke up, erased all of that from deep within your mind and chose differently? . Would things be easier? Would you at least be happier? . Well I can’t make psychic promises, but I can tell you that many of you are capable IF YOU LET GO of the need to follow the Brules. . Who knows – maybe one of your Brules is that you can’t hire someone to coach you in quick & lasting transformation UNTIL you make $X. (But then you are frustrated that you can’t make $X doing the same things, the same way, by yourself…right?) . 👍🏽Think outside the box in every way possible. . Obstacles are there to help push you to grow, overcome and conquer. . Question your Brules and break through what is holding you back. If you need help, reach out…that’s why I’m here! To see you succeed in every way.
DRUMROLL 🥁... excited to announce another couple investment properties... this latest one is our biggest yet AND it’s up in the mountains! ⛰ . This is our 2nd purchase in 2 months, which is truly exciting. I’m especially digging the new creative opportunities it brings me (hellooooooo, redecorating!). . Which brings me to my important message: . ✅ Fact: women make up roughly half of the world’s population (excluding skewed stats from nations with patterns of controlling their female populations). . ✅ Fact: Women only earn roughly 60-70% of the world’s income...and that is 80 cents on the dollar here in the U.S. for WHITE women....down to 46 cents for WOC who have kids... . ✅ Fact: Research shows that when women are given the opportunity to play BIG in the global market, GDP will rise by an estimated $28 Trillion (or 26%) in the next 6 1/2 years. . ✅ Fact: Women Founders will GENERATE higher returns (outperforming by 63%) on VC dollars than men. Yet only get 2.2% of major funding dollars. 🤔 . 💥✨🔥 LESSON: don’t buy into the lame BS story that money / financials / wealth building / investing are TOO HARD because you view the world through the lens of a woman (or WOC)... . Your wealth power is NOT better left to a man. Money is NOT too complicated... . ...or boring (what’s boring about your 💰???) . NEVER believe it’s not your thing, that you’re not ready or you don’t “have enough” to create an empire. . Do it. And if you need support or answers, reach out! There are women on here (just like me) who are fully invested in YOU helping the female gender by stepping up & owning your future. . XO 😳 8 years and 10 properties later.... who knew? If I managed it, you definitely can.
Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc. the problem is, we’re thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don’t show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin’, no matter what. ~ Steven Pressfield . You want those 5- or 6-figure months? The high end clients? The large accounts? The big name press outlets or magazines featuring you, your message or your work? . You need to start acting like more of a pro and less of an amateur. But the catch: YOU NEED TO START NOW. . Start by living, acting, breathing and behaving like this "pro version of you." . Step into her energy now and things will shift and open up -- things like opportunities, contacts, chance encounters, connections, inspiration & ideas will show up when you BECOME the higher-level version of YOU. . Why? Because you will start showing up in the world differently and in a BIGGER WAY. So the BIGGER things will make logical sense to you and the outside world. . When you do everything differently -- like run your business, handle your money, dress yourself, interact with others, make decisions and adopt the habits of this HIGHER LEVEL VERSION OF YOU -- the world will become a very different place to you. . I teach this to my clients & I call it ALIGNMENT. And it's always worked! XO
