What's your way?


There’s no one way.

The amount of times I’ve said that — that we’ve all said that — infinite, right?

For me, it often comes up around health, wellness, business or mindset.

There’s no one way…

  • to eat healthy (100% paleo is not for me)
  • to get fit (burpees on the daily are a big no thank you)
  • to do business (social media is my frenemy, referrals are my bestie)
  • to be creative (hello, silly sketches)
  • to live (relationships + nature + adventure + time = me)
  • to be ready (moving on from perfection, embracing messy)

So I took that, ran with it, and finally did a thing:

I started a podcast: There's No One Way.
Listen on Substack, Apple or Spotify.

Three short episodes are up already – all under 10 minutes.
(Graphics are minimal for now, and I'm ok with it.)

Because there’s no one way to do a podcast.

Soooo… why not do it?

I love sharing positivity, and I can’t wait to interview folks for fun and meaningful conversations.

And the idea of possibly inspiring someone and making their day even a smidge brighter?

The dream.

No, I have no idea where this is headed – or any big plans of podcast domination and overtaking Huberman.

But I’m already beyond proud I started.

If you honor me with a listen, here’s my wish for you:

My answers may not be your answers. But I hope they inspire you to find your own.

Because there’s no one way to do you.

So go get it, my friend.

Playing outside, client projects, and an amazing 2.5-week British Columbia road trip. That sums up my summer so far. How about you? Now that I'm back, I wanted to share this with you ASAP! This Monday, August 25th, 5:30pm MT / 7:30pm ET, I'm joining my friend Kate Kendall for a live conversation about authenticity, career pivots, and the magic of the messy middle. I’ve admired Kate’s work since discovering her empowering, insightful yoga classes on Gaia.com back in 2014. These days, our...

What if you did the brave thing… And chose growth over comfort. Would it feel: Wise? Empowering? Inspiring? Or… Exhausting? Vulnerable? Facepalming? (It’s an adjective now.) What if it was all of the above? That’s how it’s felt for me the past year: Soaring highs and recharge-on-the-couch lows. One day I’m the bird cruising a floaty breeze. The next? I’m the bird huddled in the nest going “nah, that’s too windy.” Maybe that’s just the flight path of growth. Updrafts, sunshine — and wind...

Jeep at sunset

It felt like I triggered a private earthquake. My ‘97 Jeep Cherokee had started VIOLENTLY shaking. The steering wheel jackhammered against my palms. Not ideal while descending a steep hill on a two-lane highway—at 65 mph.(For my Colorado folks—that final hill of Hwy 36 into Boulder.) I side-eyed the emergency brake. It was held together with duct tape. Dare I? After what felt like minutes of terrifying chaos (probably 60 seconds)I managed to pull to the shoulder. Holy deep breaths....
