Ready to raise the bar this year?
Your bold vision for 2025 starts here.

Most people are thinking about the year they want to create, as the holidays are now behind us and we all get back to our usual routines.
What about you? Are you ready for — or craving — significant change of some kind?
If you want to create something new, you need to take a new approach.
After all, if you operate as you have in the past, sticking with old patterns of thinking and your usual ways of approaching life, you will continue to live as you have been and you’ll struggle to make the changes you yearn for.
What matters most to you?
You, too, may want to set aside time to look back and take a long view. Then ask what your heart really wants.
You may hear shouts or whispers. Listen. Pay attention and honor what you hear. The signal your heart sends you is important! Trust it. Use it as a compass. It cannot steer you wrong.
When you follow what your heart desires, even taking very small steps at first will be meaningful. Each action matters. Subtle shifts add up.
So go for it!
And keep going!
This is how you create a life that is fulfilling — how you Live Big! — one small commitment and action at a time.
It’s time to uplevel!
Now is the time to slow down and create space to gain new levels of clarity about what your heart desires and what really matters most.
Are you ready to create a big clear vision for yourself in 2025?
Having s bold vision in mind, you will have the opportunity to clearly focus and set new, higher standards:
for how you will show up in the world
for the way you will spend your time
for the important relationships you will nurture
as you move forward.
Now is the time to raise the bar and commit to becoming the woman you want to be, and doing what is called for to reach your destination.
How to get clear, stay committed, stay on track
1. Choose a word to guide your year
A great tool to help you bring a sound focus to your intentions for 2025 is choosing a Word of the Year. My process will guide you to find clarity, so you can anchor to that clarity throughout the year.
Check out this blog post from a few years back for the process that will guide you to choosing your word for 2025. I use the process each year as the calendar turns, and having my word has always had a significant impact for me.
It is easier to stay committed when I look at my word, that I keep posted on my pinboard. I often look at it multiple times a day. Whenever I feel unclear or know I am veering off-track, I return to my word and can find a way to move forward.
2. Choose to be supported
The other way I stay on track is having support — something powerful that you can seek out, too.
I have a great coach and am part of a wonderful community of people who are doing brave work alongside me. Being supported, by my coach and colleagues, to commit to becoming my best self and pursuing my dreams is something I do year after year.
I would not be the woman I am today had I not made this ongoing investment in myself.
This can be the year that you get support to rise higher.
3. Take action today
Good intentions are not enough! When you take action you are in motion. Momentum can build and milestones can be met.
Your action can take many forms. It can start with a conversation, a declaration, making a new commitment to yourself.
The key is to start.
If an action you choose is to explore how we might work together, so that you are supported to create a year of significant satisfaction and movement toward your goals, schedule a call with me today.
It will be a pleasure to hear about your dreams and talk about helping you make them your reality.
With love,

This book makes my heart skip
“This a beautifully designed roadmap on how to do just that, LIVE BIG. After reading it cover to cover, I find myself picking it up and turning to the sections I need when I am looking to be inspired, especially if I feel like I'm playing small. It has been such a game-changer for me that I bought a bunch and give them as gives to help others feel the love! Highly recommended!”
