Do you need inspiration to heal, recover, and move forward from a troubled past? Are you looking to channel your creativity and find a way to tell YOUR STORY?
You don’t want to miss my conversation with Rachel Resnick, a writer with an incredible background and an amazing perspective on the topic of STORY. Rachel loves writing, but maybe even more, she loves teaching others to write and connect.
I met Rachel through Ali Brown’s Elevate business coaching program, and I knew immediately that she was the one to help me create my book, Get Gutsy. What a powerful experience it was to give birth to MY STORY with Rachel’s expert help! She would NOT let me shrink back from bringing my truth to the page. At times I hated her! But it was because of her fierceness and love for my work that Get Gutsy became all it could be.
And that book COMPLETELY gave way to this very podcast of the same name. What a wild, wonderful ride, right?!
I count Rachel as an important mentor in my life, and that’s why she’s featured on Get Gutsy during Bring the Heat Week. Join us to learn more about telling your story, going THERE, and leaving no stone unturned.

On May 9, 2015, I made a decision that would change the course of my life.
And that decision was to release alcohol from my life.
It had been a long road to get to that point.
And when I did, it simply felt like the natural next step on my journey.
And yet as I say this, it still blows me away that I could and would walk the road of sobriety.
Now that I’ve marked 1 year sober, I’m reflecting back on what I’ve learned, how I’ve changed, and what life is like when you’re seeing with new eyes.
On this episode of Get Gutsy, we dive deep on this topic. Come on in and receive.

Nerves get in the way of fulfilling your potential?
Doubts keeping you on the sideline?
Fear telling you the lie that “you’re not good enough”?
It’s time to shift that low-level energy into SERVING your tribe and SOLVING their problems.
This is where SELLING comes into the conversation.
Some people cringe at the thought of selling, but to me selling is serving.
Sure, free stuff is great (and you know I give my tribe a lot of free value!), but if you're truly committed to growing your business and helping more people, you MUST, MUST, MUST invest.
When you invest, you're invested.
