Over the last two years, I have found myself on a path of dismantling old ideas and paradigms of what it takes to have a successful business, serve, and contribute to the world in a way that funds my spirit and my life.
I have met my conditioning time and time again. What do I mean by that? I've come face to face with the internal beliefs that have driven many of my actions throughout my career.

Why was I so tired? The weekend went well, people were engaged, and I had fun. At first, I attributed it to doing something new, and similar to building new muscles, we can get fatigued. Later, I would realize that the exhausting part wasn't that I was new at it; it was because I was trying to be good at it.

I was sitting on my couch, having a cup of coffee, and reading when a loud thump made me jump. I looked over and realized a bird had collided with my window. While reading “When birds hit windows,” this sentence stood out for me, “Most often, window collisions happen because birds see various reflections in the glass and mistake those reflections for something real.” My immediate thought when reading this was, “Yeah. I get it. Me too.”

Have you ever needed to have an important conversation and found yourself thinking it over and over in your mind – a lot? Me too. It seems like the smart thing, or a necessary thing, to do if we want that conversation to go as well as possible. What if this is a misunderstanding and influence doesn't come from what we say but from our presence?
