Move those Scrabble tiles around. Doing things that create movement have a huge impact on getting you closer to the things you want!

What’s one thing you’re going to do this week that will move those tiles around? Let me know in the comments 👇

So proud of you!

It can be soooo sneaky! Your inner critic masks as this ‘sophisticated’ part of you that can be very convincing.

“Don’t send that email because what if they don’t respond”

“Don’t go to that audition because you’re not ready and everyone is ahead of you”

“Don’t ask them out for coffee because why on earth would they say yes”

Sounds like good-ish advice? 😬

🆘 That is your inner critic 🆘 They’re very sleek and persuasive. But they’re trying to convince you to play small.

The inner critic isn’t trying to be a jerk. It’s trying to keep you “safe”, and avoid discomfort. Nice in theory, I guess, but listening to it guarantees we will never leave the comfort zone. And we MUST leave the comfort zone to play bigger and create the lives we deeply desire.

Please don’t listen. Send the email. Go to the audition. Ask them for coffee.

Playing bigger feels scary, I know! But it’s time to stop believing everything your inner critic says.

I’m here to help ❤️

This is the girl who meets you in your sessions. Someone who also knows rock bottom. Someone who also has been screamed at by the inner critic. Someone who knows failure, perfectionism, and feeling downright lost.

But I’m also the girl who dug deep, and did the work. I did it scared, but I did it. I never gave up on myself even when I wanted to. And we’re not giving up on you either.

I really get it.

Doing the work on my mind changed my entire life and career. There is no way I’d have the level of success that I have if I hadn’t worked with a coach. I wouldn’t be a choreographer, director, or business owner without my coach.

Whether your big dreams are similar to mine, or completely different, I am so excited for you. I am proof that it is possible. Mindset changes everything and is the most important work in building the life and career you want.

I do this because it changed my life.

Now it’s your turn 💖. Let’s chat.

Waking up in the morning with no motivation is the WORST feeling. Not knowing where to put your energy. Not knowing if anything you’re doing is having any payoff. Feeling demotivated to even start, because everyone else is already a whole lap ahead.

I’ve been there. And because I’ve been there (and made it out the other side!) I’m the perfect person to help! We’ll make a plan, and create a map of how to get there. I’ll light the way, make you laugh 😛, and genuinely help you get motivated and inspired again.

You don’t need to figure this out alone. I have helped hundreds of artists reach their potential.

Head over to www.nextupcoach.com to join your complimentary Discovery Call! I can’t wait to hear your story!

We have a lot in common. Just saying 🙌

There is so much more happening behind the scenes than you realize! Strong auditions matter, even when they don’t convert to a booking immediately! Strong, open, prepared work is always remembered, and filed away in any good director’s head 🩷

It’s so easy, when you don’t book, for the inner critic to say “it’ll never happen”. But I need you to be open to it happening differently than you think it’s ’supposed’ to happen. It’s possible that the day you didn’t book, actually just booked you something in the future! (Just like my client!)

If you’re struggling with confidence, knowing what to do next, feeling sure of what you want but unsure of how to get there… we need to work together! U have helped hundreds of performers, creatives, writers, & designers meet their potential. You deserve to feel supported. Let’s make a plan for you, map out how to get there, and build the inner infrastructure to support the life of your dreams. It’s completely possible to do with the right support 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m back from choreographing at Neptune and directing at Rainbow Stage! I am so ready for some new clients, and can’t wait to help you get clear and confident!

I can’t wait to meet you!

I just directed Legally Blonde… and I’m sooo proud of it!

There is no way I’d be where I’m at in my career without a rock solid mindset. There are so many moments that try to shake you, doubt yourself and zap your precious energy. It is so important to have tools to work through these moments (that absolutely everyone encounters!) so you can dedicate your energy and focus to what REALLY matters: the show and the joy!

Now that Legally Blonde is open, my schedule for clients is wayyy more open! If you are a creative, performer, writer, leader or artist of any kind who would love to build a mindset that feels more confident, calm and consistent, I am your coach.

I have helped hundreds of creatives and artists meet their potential. Now it’s your turn!

You are way more ready than you feel! The fear you’re feeling is the healthy and needed fear that comes when you start to play bigger!

Diving in is the hardest part. But you are ready. And you have an entire support system here to help you along the way!

Stop hiding. Start going all in on the life and career you actually want 🥰

You don’t have to be perfect to be great.

I remember showing up at auditions and being SO nervous, and feeling mad at myself, thinking “I’m nervous. That means I can’t do well”.

But I learned that the two things can co-exist. I could be nervous and still have a great audition. And I don’t mean like a little nervous (my clothes would shake on my body style nerves!).

You can be tired and still do great work. You can make mistakes and still have a brilliant show.

Please remember that it isn’t one or the other ⭐️
