It was the summer of 2022 …
I’m on a backpacking trip with my husband on a beautiful island in Wisconsin.
We have a front row view of Lake Michigan.
The waves are crashing and the sky is a beautiful crisp blue.
I’ve just hit my highest income month ($28K).
I’m so worried and anxious about my business that I can’t enjoy the beauty of my surroundings.
To be honest, this wasn’t the first time I couldn’t be present on a vacation.
But, there was something different this time.
A deep sense of guilt rose from within me.
Not being able to enjoy my surroundings conjured up emotional pain.
I wish I could tell you that I immediately saw the error in my ways and set a course to change.
That’s not what happened.
I went further into misalignment and disconnect from my true nature.
It all changed when I started surrendering.
The advice and action that caused me to feel worried and anxious was no longer an energetic match.
I stopped pushing .
I started relaxing.

My heart goes out to all of the anxious and worried entrepreneurs who are trying to make a positive impact on others through ethical coaching and services.
You are coachable. You show up. You put in the work. You follow-through.
But no matter how much money you make or accomplishments you achieve your happiness is fleeting.
I spent decades believing that earning more money was the key to my happiness.
Until I made more money, achieved big success, consulted for influencers … and felt lost.
This is what led me to see that the online industry focuses on outer-world, left-brain, logical approaches to business.
Those of us who are inner-world attuned lose ourselves in the outer-world.
We crave emotional connection with our businesses: our clients, our programs, our sales & marketing … all of it.
Then, find ourselves marketed to using unethical practices that hook into our vulnerabilities.
The dark truth that I’ve discovered: Businesses that use these tactics don’t want us to transform.
They want us to stay stuck and dependent, wallet-opened for their next program.
Not because we want to and feel joyful about it … because we feel we need to.
This very thing is what keeps many stuck and anxious in their business.
Welcome to the world of Relaxed Sales and Marketing.
