Overworking to dodge guilt, pressure, or tough conversations?

That’s not productivity—it’s self-protection.

Setting boundaries means saying no when you don't want to do something and sticking to it.

Let’s create limits that protect both your progress and your peace.

So many high performers—athletes, business owners, professionals—are silently carrying emotional weight that doesn’t show up on the surface.

They might look like they’re doing fine.

But behind the scenes, they’re grieving, overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted from holding it all together.

These posts are just a glimpse into the conversations I hear every week.
This is what they wish people knew.

If this resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine.

I’m currently accepting new virtual clients across Kansas—let’s talk when you’re ready.

I absolutely LOVE Malcolm Gladwell. For those who wonder how some make it and some don't, this is a good one!

"Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell

Gladwell takes readers on a compelling journey into the lives of high-achievers—the best, the brightest, the record-breakers—and asks a deceptively simple question: What really makes them different?

It’s not just talent or drive. It’s timing, culture, community, and opportunity.
We often focus on who successful people are—but rarely on where they come from, what shaped them, and the invisible advantages they had access to.

From tech billionaires and elite athletes to cultural patterns in education and the rise of The Beatles, this book rewires how we understand performance.

Outliers is a must-read for leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to build success with a deeper awareness of the forces that shape it.

Who it’s for:�Professionals and leaders who want a deeper understanding of what actually sets high performers apart.

You’re not unmotivated.
You’re overwhelmed.

When every moment demands a choice, performance, or response, it’s not poor time management — it’s mental exhaustion.

Athletes are more than their performance.

Former NFL player Marcus Smith II’s explains that seeking help is strength—and it can change sports culture.

Coaches, when you invest in mental health, you build athletes up not just for the game, but for life.

✨ It’s okay to struggle
✨ It’s okay to ask for help
✨ You are not alone

Check out the APA Foundation’s Where We Play initiative with Marcus Smith II for resources that empower athletes.

Dear sports parents,

You’re not their coach* (*unless of course you are, then we need to have a different discussion).

You ARE their safe space.

Before the game, your encouragement helps them feel confident.
After the game, your curiosity and support help them feel seen — win or lose.

Your words aren’t about stats or mistakes. They’re about trust, connection, and love.
That’s what lasts long after the scoreboard is gone.

Try just one of these and see how it goes. Good luck out there! Sports parenting is hard too!

This is one of those hard truths I hear all the time in my office — and one I remind myself of as a parent too. We’re human. Our kids are human. Wins and losses aren’t the measure of love or worth. Give yourself grace. We know better, we do better.

What would feel like relief right now?
To not carry it all by myself for a minute.

We’re allowed to want help. To feel tired of being the strong one. Even one exhale of shared weight can feel life-saving.

Athletes and business owners know the grind well. Sometimes grinding is necessary to reach your goals... but, sometimes grinding is not sustainable.

Burnout is feedback, not failure.

Listen to your mind and body. A short pause today could prevent a much bigger setback down the road.
