Summer 2024 Cohort Starts Next Week

I'm happy to announce that the summer accountability group coaching cohort starts NEXT WEEK! (How did June happen already?) Every Wednesday at 4 p.m. Pacific, six fabulous people will be meeting up for an hour to celebrate their weekly wins, encourage each other to success, and set up goals for the coming week.

I can't wait to work with you. |

... That's what my MoonX app affirmation said this morning. A perfect reminder to both treat and nurture yourself, but also to invest in yourself and do things a little out of your comfort zone. This year, not only have I opened the writer's retreat up to non-writers, I've also heard the need for Day Passes. Introducing: Day Passes Sometimes, we can't get away for three days. (We can't get the time off, child care would be too hard, and who would stay with the dogs?) I get it. Totally. The...
