Are You a Starving Artist? Stop.

I love working with creatives! As a life coach, it allows me to get creative in MY approach to coaching those with unconventional careers and dreams.

How to Win at Failing

There are lots of things in my life at which I am winning. But lately I’ve been re-assessing a bunch of business practices that haven’t been working. I’ve had to face failure in a way I never have before. In the past, I’ve been really good at avoiding situations where I might fail by bailing […]

Change is afoot in my life and the life of Handel Group Life Coaching. There is something I haven’t been telling the truth about for a while now and it’s time for me to share it straight up. I’ve been struggling in my role as President. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Handel Method®. […]
