We only claim the identity once the result confirms it. Artist when it sells. Successful when the title hits. Beautiful when the mirror agrees. It’s intermittent reinforcement—like pulling a slot machine lever, chasing the rush and forgetting the losses. When we outsource our worth to outcomes we can’t fully control, we stay stuck chasing happiness instead of embodying it. Power returns the moment you decide who you are before the proof appears.

She stayed for almost twenty years because it “wasn’t bad enough to leave.” Not good—just tolerable. A spotless home. Smiling vacation photos. A life that looked fine from the outside while quietly draining her from within. Each time she lowered her expectations, she moved farther from herself. What she knows now is this: the cost of staying the same is far higher than the cost of change—and the distance between what she had and what she wanted was never as far as she believe

I color-coded calendars, meal-prepped kale, and optimized my life trying to “get it right.” And still—it was never enough. The truth? Balance is BS. It’s not empowering, it’s soul-crushing. So what if the game was rigged from the start—and instead of playing fair, we went all in? Careers that light us up. Love that meets our standards. Energy that’s unapologetically too much. Stay close. Big things are coming.

This week as I was driving my feral child to day care, I popped on an Audible to drown out another rendition of Wheels on The Bus … and I happened upon Malcolm Gladwel’s Outliers . (Sidebar: this has been on my list to read for years and it is not disappointing!)   But anyway , he reminded me something I have always been fascinated with: Did you know that studies show that you only need 10,000 hours to become a master at something? For context, that's roughly ten years.  

This week, I was doing what I do, scrolling on Facebook, and saw a friend post about his weight loss journey.    He looked f*cking fantastic.  It's why I stopped to look in the first place. But beyond even the obvious weight loss, the most noticeable thing about the “AFTER” photo was his big, beaming smile.   The caption told me that he had been showing up at the gym, focusing on his health, really doing the work. But tucked into his celebration post was an apology too- " I k

You’ve been sold a lie—that success lives in your sacrifice, your titles, your constant proving. But what really matters is the life that lights you up: the touch that sparks you, the yes that scares you, the moments you forget to be careful. Yes, I Am Too Much™️ is the revolution for women done with “good enough” and ready for a life that feels electric, abundant, and entirely their own.

You’ve probably noticed this about yourself: When a friend needs help, you’re there. No hesitation. No second thoughts. You’ll move mountains, reschedule your entire day, over-give until your own body is running on fumes.   But when it’s flipped? When someone wants to give to you? When they offer help, praise, love, or generosity, suddenly, your skin crawls. You deflect, minimize, brush it off. You turn it into a joke.  You’re more comfortable carrying everyone else than let

While it feels like two lifetimes ago, I can still remember lying in bed next to someone who was supposed to love me, who I was supposed to love back, staring at the ceiling, my body stiff with silence. The clock ticked. My chest was tight. And all I could think was:  why does this feel so heavy?   I told myself it was normal. That love was supposed to feel like work. That the pit in my stomach was just the cost of partnership.   But here’s what I know now: 👉 Love shouldn’t

She sat across from me this week and said something I’ll never forget: “My divorce cost over $100K—and it’s the best money I will ever spend.” She wasn’t celebrating the ending of a marriage. She was naming the true cost of settling—the nights she pretended she was fine, the intimacy that felt like obligation, the slow erosion of her standards and self. That money bought her freedom, breath, mornings without dread, joy without rationing.

No one told me it would happen this way.   Not in one dramatic moment, but in a thousand tiny asks: ✨ Smile when you don’t feel like it. ✨ Say yes when your body screams no. ✨ Don’t rock the boat. Don’t want too much. Don’t be too much.   And so I started handing over little pieces of myself. One compromise here, one silence there. I didn’t even notice how much was burning until I was standing in the ashes.   That’s what society does best—it doesn’t shove you into silence, it

If affirmations actually worked, your mirror would have fixed your life by now. “I am enough.” “I am powerful.” “I am confident.”   Cute. But let’s be honest—those mantras aren’t what change your life. They don’t dissolve the resentment sitting in your chest at 2am. They don’t bring back the spark in your relationship. They don’t give you the courage to walk into your boss’s office and finally ask for the raise.   What does? Embodied action. And that’s what I see, over and o

Most women aren’t stuck because they lack motivation—they’re stuck because they’re depleted, disconnected, and carrying quiet resentment. And change doesn’t happen by thinking harder or manifesting more. It happens through embodied action, supported in the right container. I’ve watched women reclaim clarity, confidence, boundaries, intimacy, and direction in just weeks when they step into spaces designed for real transformation. This October, you don’t have to keep circling.

Something people don’t always know about me is just how incredibly wild my career has been.   I’ve worked as a crisis counselor in a New York City ER. I’ve worked inside institutions in Sri Lanka with the NIH. I’ve taught sex ed in Philly high schools. I was a private investigator with the government. I got into the FBI.   But the one that always piques the most interest? My run as a mental health therapist in solitary confinement at the notorious Rikers Island.   Now—I’ll sa

It’s hard for women to get clarity on what they need when the world expects them to be everything for everyone else.   You’re running the house. You’re answering emails from the car. You’re the default planner, problem-solver, and peacekeeper. By the time you finally sit down to think about what you want, the mental noise is so loud it’s easier to just push it off another day.   This is exactly why I opened Breakthrough Sessions. One session. 90 minutes. Hyper-focused on the

There was a time when busyness was my drug. My schedule was full, my inbox cleared, my life looked impressive—but inside, I was crumbling. Because busy women almost always want more. Busyness just keeps us from admitting it. The moment you say it out loud, everything shifts. That’s what a Breakthrough Session does—90 minutes, one issue, real-time clarity. Normally $997, available Sept 22–26 for $199. Four spots only. If you’re tired of circling, this is your exhale.

When she first came to me, my client was a school teacher.   She was underpaid, overworked, and constantly told to be grateful for less . She wanted more— but didn’t know how to name it.   Sure, we could have focused on how to save money, budget better, or build deeper self-care routines.  But none of that would have touched what was really underneath.   What she needed was permission.   Permission to listen to her own voice. Permission to follow her intuition. Permission to

She came to me asking, “Do I stay or do I go?” Her job looked fine on paper, but every Sunday night brought dread. In 90 minutes, we uncovered what was really keeping her stuck—and she walked away with her resignation letter, a plan, and relief. That’s what a breakthrough looks like. For the first time, I’m opening Breakthrough Sessions—90-minute private sessions to create real-time transformation. Normally $997, available next week only for $199.

ChatGPT said: For years, I lived in the chokehold of “not enough.” No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough. Until one day, I realized I’d been worshiping at the altar of almost. Almost powerful. Almost free. Almost me. That day, I decided—enough isn’t a finish line; it’s the baseline. You don’t get unstuck by proving yourself. You get unstuck by refusing to negotiate your worth another second.

For generations, women were told wanting more makes us greedy. The truth? Money isn’t the enemy—it’s freedom, permission, and power. When we settle for “just enough,” we silence the part of us built for overflow. Money Without Apology: From Survival Mode to Overflow is your free guide to releasing scarcity and claiming unapologetic abundance—in your bank account, relationships, and life.
