The things that typically matter most are entrances and exits from the familiar to the new. And when money is involved — such as getting that dream job, promotion or leadership position, launching a brand, growing a business, or preparing for divorce — the stakes get that much higher. They all represent exciting opportunities, but with fear- and anxiety-inducing outcomes outside your direct control. Success requires you to show up, stand out, better position yourself, & negotiate in big ways, which are also the very things women are taught not to do. And the more it matters to you, the more it feels like risk — pitching you into a fear-stress cycle of self-sabotage at the worst possible time. I’ve been there, done that — so invite you to experience the NEUROSCIENCE-BASED SAY YES STRATEGY to say yes to yourself, short-circuit that cycle, & achieve what matters most with confidence, self-trust, & feel-good flow. Oh, and let’s not forget — money. It’s the only surefire way to gain the personal, professional, & financial empowerment necessary to truly be fearless. My mission is for you to get more of it & feel great about yourself at the same time. So, in a world where women constantly do more to consistently receive less, let’s SAY YES to turning the tables to gain more power, equity, freedom AND money on our own terms.
Your mind is challenged by change and labels it risk when you feel dependent on others for outcomes that matter to you. The more it matters, the faster it trips your amygdala safety triggers causing your brain to shut down access to your executive function. Clarity, decision-making, problem-solving, creativity, imagination, empathy, and short-term memory are now all out of reach. Brain fog anyone? Stress chemicals, like cortisol and adrenaline, flood your body to put you into fight, flight, freeze, fawn — sabotaging you with reaction. When you perceive the people, environment, or situation around you as more powerful than you, you feel less powerful and are less powerful — which is communicated through your vibe and mirrored in your circumstances.
Say yes to what you want.
Say no to what you don’t.
Set clear safety/success conditions for your yes & values-based boundaries for your no.
Create your agenda position from the above.
Take assumptions & guesses off the table.
Use what you feel as critical information to guide your choices.
Lean into what you directly know.
Actively gather information about what you don’t.
Craft a brand position based on what you stand for that you also want to be known for.
Communicate your brand to ensure no one is guessing about you.
Use your brand as a platform to create connection & trust.
Negotiate from your value-based brand & agenda positions.
Don’t wait to use your voice — you will always be your own best advocate.
Be proud of yourself & your growth regardless of the outcome.
Embrace your unique experience, perspective, & passion — that’s how you are the money!
With a custom strategy, YOU are never lost. You are here. What you want is there. Strategy is what gets you from here to there. The here and the there make it relational. As such, your custom strategy is the vehicle, the road, and the map telling you the distance, direction, and speed that puts what you want within your reach and with you at the wheel. How much it matters is the fuel that literally moves you. And it powers your choice because you are 100% in control. You can change direction any time you want. Nothing is wasted because what you learn along the way grows you.
As a coach, consultant, mediator, business owner, mom, & MS warrior, I know risk. And I know what it takes to make positive change. It’s one of the many reasons, I value freedom and choice as much as I do. I got off the hamster wheel to leave my marriage and Corporate America over 10 years ago. I launched my business without a safety net. And I know what it means to stop waiting. When I was diagnosed with MS in 2014, my neurologist warned me I could wake up and not be able to walk again. So, I had to let go of future what if’s to make the most out of right now. Working with my brain has kept me in remission since 2016. And it makes this work highly personal for me. I can’t know or control future outcomes, but I don’t have to. I trust that the choices I make today create the future I want tomorrow. YOU CAN TOO.
