When I first had the inspiration to start a tutoring business, and later, a spiritual coaching business, I had no idea where to begin. As I learned more, I became overwhelmed by all the hoops I’d need to jump through in order to make this thing happen. After which, I’d run for the nearest […]
I’d often thought, why couldn’t I have been satisfied with being a third-grade teacher? Why did I have to go upsetting the apple cart and venture down this road of entrepreneurship as a coach and healer? Life would have been a lot easier had I just stayed in Pennsylvania. But would it? When I […]
I know, I know. In a world that values action, inaction can seem like self-sabotage. At the very least, it feels incredibly wrong and indicative of losing out in some way. Inaction is uncomfortable. It makes us squirm and worry over what we’re not doing or should be doing or are doing wrong. Oh, […]
