Do More of What Makes You Happy

Zen Advice from Pia, Office Manager Recently, I was with Michelle on Zoom, chatting with a lovely woman about some of her struggles. It seems her business wasn’t what she wanted it to be, and she was exasperated. No, silly, I wasn’t ON Zoom; I was sitting on her desk like any good fluffy office…

Better Planning Isn’t Always the Answer

I had a call with my coach a while ago and have been thinking about it ever since then. YES, coaches have coaches, or at least they should. I came to the call prepared with an agenda to discuss planning. I’d recently stepped away from a business that had kept me busy going full speed…

Gardening & Entrepreneurship

When we moved from Chicago to Waco in the summer of 2020, I left all my plants with a friend. Unfortunately, we ran out of room to safely transport them – being a plant lover, this was especially hard. Some I’d had for ten years or so. But, I had to let them go –…

Reconnecting with WHY as an Entrepreneur

With just a few minutes between meetings, I am often tempted to stay at my desk and work. Even when nothing needs my immediate attention, my inner “people pleaser” often encourages me, or should I say, attempts to shame me, not to leave anything undone, even for just a moment. For years I’ve been working…

Entrepreneurship is Messy

I was feeling the “need” to express my creativity the other day and took to Pinterest for inspiration. With my daughter, niece, and granddaughter gathered around the kitchen table, we began. We blew up balloons, filled a metal bowl full of white glue and water, and wrapped yarn soaked in the mixture around and around…

You Can Always Change Lanes

A new client reached out for support recently, feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and thinking she may not be cut out for being a business owner. She told me how she’d done so much research before starting her business and felt like it was nothing like what she thought it would be. I gently reminded her that…

We Can’t Recycle Our Way Out Of This

A few years ago, I watched an episode of Broken titled Recycling Sham, and one of the comments that stood out for me was “we can’t recycle our way out of this mess.” Sadly, only about 9% of the plastic we use can be recycled – which means the other 91% ends up in landfills,…

Maybe Play is Essential

I’ve been thinking about play and seeing it as a reward – genuinely wondering if we have it all wrong. Maybe play is essential. Maybe we shouldn’t wait till all our work is done to play – when we’re usually too tired. Maybe we should prioritize play – which usually energizes us. Maybe, just maybe,…
