Don't Miss Great Opportunities Because You Lack Confidence
Are you thinking about taking on a new role or project but feel like you don’t have the skills or knowledge to knock it out of the park? Your manager is nudging you to take on a new role or project, and your internal dialogue says, I’m not qualified; You don’t have the subject matter expertise, so you start to feel nervous thinking about it. Your manager says it’s good for you, a stretch goal, a development opportunity. Does that sound familiar? Tune in to learn how to shake the nerves and gain confidence to empower yourself to perform at your best.
Find Your Playful Energy
Is it just me, or do you have difficulty finding something to do that makes you feel playful? Playful energy is key to tuning in to your secret sauce, inner wisdom, and creativity. It’s the key to knowing if you should take the job offer, how to work with a challenging colleague, how to move your business forward to hit goals, and anything else you’re trying to manage. The hard part is finding what feels playful and making time for it.
Do Less, Attract More
Have you heard this before? Do less and attract more. This isn’t something I was familiar with in the corporate world. We always did more to drive for results and hit goals. How the heck are you supposed to get anything done if you do less? Let me show you the way. Tune in.
Think Fun is Not for the Workplace, Think Again! (Copy)

Tune in to hear how the idea of a farm-to-table experience just showed up.

What’s Meant For You, Will Find You
I've always been fascinated to learn where my husband grew up, especially when we first met. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received is to know whether someone is a good match for you is to know their family and where they grew up.
Earlier in our dating days, I kept feeling this nudge to ask him to visit the home and town where he grew up. Even though we visited France every year at the time, he wasn't interested. The answer was always, "I don't even know who lives in my old house. No, we don't have time to go there."
Fast forward to 2016, six years later, I imagined we would get a place in France for family visits. It was a dream to own a pied-a-terre in Paris. So I did what anyone would do, I made a vision board and hung it in my home office. It was my very first one from an intuitive hit I received.
3-Writing Prompts to Change your Life
I was chatting with a friend the other day who happens to run a successful company in the bay area. We’re always sharing our best practice routines, especially our morning ones. We were talking about journaling on this 90-minute feel-good catch-up call. What I shared was that writing my morning pages is not a nice to have luxury but a necessity for setting myself up for success each day. And you know each day is the first step to a successful future. Tune in to today’s video show to learn what I write about each morning and what has resulted.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
How many competing priorities do you have in your job or career? Are there too many to count? Are you stressed out thinking about everything you must accomplish? Your manager keeps adding additional responsibilities but doesn’t take anything away. You have no work-life balance. Your work bleeds into your personal life. Tune in on what to do instead.
What you receive is a mirror of you
Are you in the middle of making a big decision and noticing that everyone around you has an opinion they want to impart to you? What you may be noticing is that they are unloading their own fears and concerns onto you, or they are mirroring what you truly feel inside. There is one thing you are not focusing on which is the most important thing. Tune in to learn what that is and how to navigate EgoN and external narratives that don’t serve you.
here goes nothing
A few weeks ago, I wrote a Vlog on Let Go of the Steering Wheel with the intention to help you let go a bit and stop controlling everything. The question I received back was how do you let go because you can’t just sit around and wait for things to come to you. There is a way! Tune in to the Vlog to learn how.
Following your IAV, what’s next?
So, you’ve decided to follow your Inner Authentic Voice to take the first step of whatever it is the whisper told you to do. You may have pitched a new project idea or recommended a different direction to take at work and it was accepted, you’ve taken the first step in a big personal decision, or you’ve leaped from your position looking for another. Now what? What are you to do next? Don’t worry, tune in because I have the answers for you.
Feeling depleted
April is stress awareness month. I confess that I was out of pocket from my social media platforms because last month I was feeling emotionally depleted and exhausted to the point that my brain felt like it was trying to function through a heavy haze of Benadryl fog. I could see the endless to-do list pile up, but I had no motivation or energy to get it done. The more I couldn’t move forward, the more overwhelmed and worried I got; only compounding my fatigue more. If you’ve ever felt like this before, you are not alone. Tune in to learn how I dug myself out of burnout.
Let go of the Steering Wheel
You’re working in a corporate role, and the company is not hitting its goals. You and your leaders are fearful of the future outcome. You feel tremendous stress and pressure to perform and drive results. You take on the responsibility to fix everything because you think no one else around you is capable, and there is no help available. You become prescriptive on everything that must be done. You hold on so tightly to the steering wheel because you fear losing control. Does this sound familiar? Tune in to learn why the best thing to do is to let go of the steering wheel
Seriously, It's None Of Your Business
How often have you worried about what your colleagues, boss, friends, or family might say or think of you? It's easy to get caught up in what others are saying, especially if you feel like you are being judged for your work performance or what you are doing in your personal life. You may find yourself making decisions to seek favorable reviews of YOU. Tune in to learn what you could be doing differently and why.
Yes, You Are A Warrior!
Someone asked me recently, do we ever get to stop being a warrior? Before I answer this question let me first explain what I’m referring to when I say you are a warrior. Last week, I talked about the internal struggle when making decisions, because you hear your intellect urging you to make smart short-term win decisions, while your heart or your IAV says otherwise. Tune in to learn when you get to stop being a warrior fighting to hear & follow your Inner Authentic Voice.
It’s a struggle…
How do you know if you are making good decisions? At the start of the year, there can be so many decisions to make.

Resting and Slowing Down to Co-Create
As we head into December, it's easy to feel the pressure of doing more to finish out the year and finish up projects. What I suggest doing instead is to make space for winding down to slow your pace and rest. It's time to reflect on the past year to celebrate how far you've come and to dream of next year.
So, to make space for what's to come, I am peeling back on my year-long projects, including creating these Vlogs. I am taking time to rest, slow down, and reflect on a fantastic 2021 year. I am excited to have space to imagine & download what's coming next for 2022 and to be able to share it with you all soon. You can still catch a glimpse of what I'm up to in my Instagram & Facebook Stories, along with visiting my website at oh-universe.com. I wish you the time, space, and resources to enjoy your December month to celebrate the holidays and to rest & reflect. Be well and see you in the New Year. Love and Light to you all.
