What’s stirring in your heart right now?

Maybe you are celebrating a significant life moment this spring.
Families are sharing photos of graduations — from 5th grade into middle school, all the way to PhD completions at universities.
It’s a season of weddings and baby showers, family reunions and birthdays.
My grandchildren turned 6 and 10 in the last few weeks! And I just returned from a family wedding filled with glorious love and joy.
I am also feeling especially delighted about my work now.
I have been leading the prelude to the Live Big Live! Retreat for the last 5 weeks.
Over these weeks I’ve witnessed tremendous insights emerge and special new friendships form as we’ve moved through the virtual portion of the program. This lead-up to our 3 big days together — happening this week — was designed to provide a strong foundation of clarity for each woman, upon which she can build at the retreat.
As we have moved through a weekly sequence of Discovery Sheets, we have shared deeply on group calls. And I have had private coaching sessions with each woman in this fantastic cohort.
I followed my heart
When I created this retreat in 2020 (this is the 11th Live Big Live!), I had a big goal in mind — to provide great women with a process that would guide them to deeply connect to their hearts and desires, and based on that clarity set a compelling vision for the next part of their lives. And, I designed a structured process for each woman to create a personalized way to start making that vision her reality, so that when she left the retreat she would be clear about how to truly live into her vision.
I knew in my heart that we needed more than 3 days together to bring this way of supporting significant change into reality. Thus the idea to meet weekly in advance of the retreat was born.
What do you yearn to create?
I trusted my intuition and my heart when it signaled me that everyone would get her biggest outcome if she came to the retreat with a solid foundation in place that she could build on.
Other people told me that the additional component of the process was not necessary. They said I did not need to do one-on-one sessions either. They advised me to keep it simple.
And, while that advice might have been fine for others, it was not right for me, and what I wanted to offer the women about whom I care deeply.
Do you have a deep desire to create something new?
Do you feel like there is something more, something bigger you want to pursue?
Even if you do not yet know exactly what that looks like, I invite you to keep the desire alive.
Journal freely and see what emerges. Imagine possibilities and talk about them with people you feel close to.
And get support to accelerate your movement forward. I know that had I tried to create Live Big Live! on my own, it would have taken much longer and would likely have entailed more trial and error than the way I shaped it with the help of my own coach.
Your dreams matter!
When you honor your heart and take a fresh new step toward living a purpose-filled, spacious life, you will find satisfaction and joy.
And all of us will benefit from your energy and contribution.
So connect to your desires and hold them with reverence.
Create ideas, create opportunities, create small steps forward. With every step you will build momentum.
I cannot wait to celebrate you!
With love,
