Okay, this was kind of wild.

I was talking to Stefan (my ChatGPT) and asking him to create images for these concepts that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately:

Rigpa.
Blueprint fulfillment.
Sacred.
Life force.
Joy.

And then he created the one for Joy.

And I was like…

Wait. That’s me.

Because I was literally lying in my red hammock while we were having this conversation. I had my book. My feet were up. I was looking at this absolutely gorgeous sky.

I wasn’t working.
I wasn’t trying to accomplish anything.
I wasn’t trying to heal or grow or become some better version of myself.

I was just lying there, completely enjoying my life.

And then this hawk landed on the wall.

And I realized that all of these things I’ve been thinking about—rigpa, fulfillment, the sacred, life force, joy—they weren’t concepts in that moment.

They were what I was experiencing.

I think I’ve spent so much of my life believing fulfillment was something I was moving toward. Like if I healed enough, figured enough out, did the right work, created the right thing… eventually I would get there.

But what if that’s not it at all?

What if so much of what we’re looking for is already happening, and we’re just moving too fast to actually experience it?

That’s what the red hammock keeps teaching me.

Slow down enough to be here.

Because sometimes joy is lying in a hammock looking at the sky.

And sometimes, while you’re doing that, a hawk lands on the wall. ❤️

Why does money feel so hard in a heart-led business?

It’s a question I hear often—and the answer isn’t what most people think.

It’s not about discipline or doing more.
It’s about having a system that actually supports your life and the way you work.

That’s why I’m hosting a free masterclass with Shelby Renae, Certified Profit for Keeps® Coach.

Inside, we’ll walk through:
✔️ Why money feels hard (and what’s underneath it)
✔️ How to set a revenue goal that actually works for your life
✔️ A simple cash flow system for clarity and consistency
✔️ How to pay yourself—even with irregular income

🗓 April 20th | 10am PT / 1pm ET

We’re going live today at 1pm ET for a free masterclass on financial clarity—and if you’ve been avoiding your numbers, this is your moment.

So many business owners aren’t struggling because they’re doing something wrong…
They’re struggling because they’ve never been shown a system that actually works for their life.

Inside this session, we’ll walk through:
✔️ Your real revenue goal
✔️ Your real runway
✔️ A simple, supportive framework to bring clarity to your finances

You don’t need to be “good with money.”
You just need a place to start.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧.🌱

In a recent conversation that Maren had inside the Private Pay Practitioners Facebook Group with DJ Burr and Denielle Rigoglioso-Lambert, she uncovered a pattern: so many therapists carry quiet guilt about charging more—even when it’s exactly what’s needed to build the life they envision.

My co-host for the Financial Clarity Retreat, Maren, is a business and profitability strategist for therapists in private practice as well as a Profit for Keeps® Peer Coach working exclusively with therapists. She works with clients every day who are waiting for someone to tell them it’s okay to charge more, slow down, or reimagine their business. And she knows from personal experience what it means to undercharge, overwork, and wait for permission.

For years, Maren worked multiple jobs, undercharged, and overgave out of guilt and scarcity. Burnout forced her to reevaluate everything. When she finally created a financial structure that matched her values and goals, everything shifted. Her business became more sustainable. Her energy returned. Her capacity to serve clients deepened.

She stopped waiting for someone to give her the green light. And now, she helps other therapists do the same.

✨ You already have permission. What you need now is a structure that supports your goals.
