Last summer I began a journey to visit every State Park in Minnesota. Most of this journey was done alone while sleeping in a tent. Over the last year, I’ve had many inquiries from other women who are intrigued by camping solo but as a female have obvious safety concerns. So I created a list […]
6 Lessons Learned While Overcoming Paralyzing Perfectionism
For much of my life, I wore perfectionism as a badge of honor. If asked about my biggest weakness in an interview, I would respond that “I’m a perfectionist in everything I do.” During that phase of my life, I was convinced that perfectionism was my greatest strength. Nearly two decades later, I realize that […]
How I Found the Courage to Face My Fear and Start
Can I let you in on a secret? I haven’t always been the person I am today. Until recently I lived a very small life controlled by fear. I let the fear of criticism, rejection, and failure hold me back from reaching my full potential for close to 40 years. This website is a perfect example. […]

Then one day we wake up and realize a belief has […]
Love Yourself More by Practicing the Reverse Golden Rule
Do unto yourself as you would do unto others. And love yourself as your neighbor. No, I assure you that’s not a typo. In working with high achievers, I get to meet amazing people. These are people I admire and look up to. So I’m always surprised to see how hard they can be on […]

Life! One day everything is magical and going better than you could ever imagine. Then in a moment, everything seems to go wrong. You wonder what is going on. Is this some sort of karmic backlash? We all have days like this. For some of us, it’s years. Life can be really hard sometimes. I’m […]
