This Is The Time

Invest in yourself (outside of work).Separate validation from your worth.Learn how to protect your emotional energy.These are the three biggest takeaways for someone who loves to create, lead, change shit, and think outside of the box. Come hang out with me while we talk about how these personal boundaries impact professional ones, and what to do about it.

Welcome to my first two part series! It truly deserves a longer session because boundaries are a big deal. I get it's a buzz word, and, it's for good reason.. If we aren't setting standards for how we want others to show up for us (and us show up for them) we are slow stirring a pot full of disaster. Before you send out that agreement, begin that project, jump into a new endeavor, let's create an outline of what boundaries can look like so you set yourself up for success before the clock starts. I outline 4 main areas that I make sure to include in all of my client contracts, for you to steal, recreate, or use for inspo. (:

Rob McElhenny. I first knew of him when my husband and I watched It's Always Sunny, and then with (one of my now favorite shows) Mythic Quest. There's something cool about Rob, he's dynamic, adaptive, always challenging the status-quo. The ultimate FAFO kind of guy. I want to be more like Rob.As we reach the last few weeks of Q1 in the year, I want to release some BIG news on what's to come in this milestone year in business.Year 5 IS ALL ABOUT offering support for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and Creatives, building community with like-minded fellows, and honoring authenticity tenfold.The Third Space For Creatives >>> https://the-time-alchemist.ghost.io/

A tug of war between two pillars of success; motivation and discipline. What's really the difference? Let's talk about the power in leaning in one more than the other, and how it's become vital to my everyday life as a full-time entrepreneur/project manager/millennial nerd.

It's taken me a lot of trial and error to find a routine that supports my current goals and priorities, especially as an entrepreneur. You don't have to be an early riser, nor a trendsetter when creating a routine, you just need to be in tune with what works best for you.

The more responsibilities we carry as we age, the more difficult it is to focus on what truly matters to us. We are juggling more than we ever have before as a society, and it can make you feel like you're losing your mind - sometimes forgetful, easily irritated - so does that mean there is something greater going on? Spoiler alert... you're not alone.

Sometimes you need to tie yourself up, and put yourself in time-out. Other times, you have to cut the rope and fall in order to see things in a new light. Here's to new beginnings!

It's time to jump. I've had this vision of how I want to give back and share everything that goes on, how it started, and what's to come in a way that felt perfect. I have big dreams, and that's been one of my biggest problems; I get so invested in the end, what will that look like and how to architect the choices I make to get me to my destination.. that sometimes I paralyze myself between the steps it takes to just begin that journey - the artists life lesson: letting go.Just as I started as a virtual assistant, I, too, will start this new beginning; Challenge Accepted.Episodes will be available on Spotify, YouTube and RSS. check the link in my bio or DM me for details.
