Welcoming guest blogger, Jenny, promoting Venture Within’s partnership with Global Work & Travel. Feel like all your New Year resolutions are becoming harder and harder to achieve as the months go by? Is the once burning flame of motivation slowly flickering out? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Instead of trying to tackle all your…
I want to share with you something funny that made me laugh out loud. Truly. And then it also made me think. (Kind of a “hahaha—Hey, wait.” moment). In the last couple of months, I hit pause on my overseas Retreats and pivoted to increase teaching my personal growth programs online. This pivot…
Today, I’m lying on my couch, writing this, looking out my window up at the sky on a perfectly sunny day. I’ve postponed my personal travel and retreats, and am recalibrating. What happens next? What can I offer now? I have 9 years of experience operating a global business and managing remote teams. I’ve…
My favorite Christmas Day photo features me and a cast of girlfriends celebrating a life abundant with our favorite things: · Sunny weather · Puppy dogs · Pool days · Mimosas · Friends we love like family What’s not pictured here is all the bad-assery each of these women have put into creating…
Yesterday, my workout partner asked me what I do when I need coaching and a little life-help.

I was chatting with one of my managers, ready to kick off our next Leadership Volunteer Program. The streets of Siem Reap offered a chaotic background of…
The lowest point of my Costa Rica Retreat hit me mid-week. Dealing with work-related tech glitches on a hot Wednesday afternoon left me agitated. The humidity and mosquitoes were relentless. The gorgeous bluejays were dive-bombing tables and stealing my food. I needed an energetic and powerful yoga sesh to warrior pose my way into a…
This morning is NOT off to a fresh start like I planned for it to be. Every morning I follow a routine that I know will shift my mind from sleepy confusion into a positive, productive and creative position. Usually this involves the typical feel-good tasks – meditation, gratitude journaling, chewable vitamins, exercise. Ginger…
Life can feel calamitous. Full to capacity. Constrained. Structured and expectant. Rarely do we find ourselves with Nothing to do. It’s not an easy fit within our modern lifestyle of constant doing and frequent going. How often do we allow our precious time to pass without being delegated? We claim our peak experiences, but rarely…
