The loudest voice in the room isn’t always the most credible. Often, it’s the one trying hardest to be believed.

Confidence doesn’t need to shout. It speaks with consistency and acts with integrity.

Where do you need less volume and more substance?

So…this book has been the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to write. No wonder, since it’s about Love — specifically about loving oneself.

I put it down and wondered if I’d ever get it done. It was too much.

But I’m back at it. And I’ve written nearly 7,000 words this week. Celebrate with me!

No wrapping paper, no gift receipts, no shipping delays—just a decision to let go.

The best part? Forgiveness isn’t just for them—it’s for you, too. It’s freedom, peace, and maybe even the chance to start fresh. So, who do you need to forgive this season?

(Maybe it’s you?)

Stuck in analysis paralysis? Here’s the rule: Choose. Commit. Fix it later if it’s wrong. Movement beats perfection every time.

Jay didn’t think he needed coaching until he walked away with a better job, healthier relationships, and a plan that actually aligns with his core values. What could we accomplish together? DM me to find out.
