Begin Again


Reader,

🎧🎧 Listen to Sunday Sunshine HERE 🎧🎧

Like an ocean wave, it comes ashore again and again.
It begins again.

You can begin again each and every day.

Begin again—
without shame.
without blame.
without the baggage of yesterday.

Every day offers a new beginning.
A new 24 hours.
A fresh page.

A new day to make a mark.
A new energy that lights you up—and becomes contagious.

Most failures and disappointments aren’t surprises.
They’re ignored signals.

Today is a fresh day to listen.
To evaluate what’s happening.
To audit what’s working, what’s not working,
and what you want to do differently as you begin again.

Turn the page.
Claim today.
Create the best week possible.

Decide today and reverse engineer it. Your positive possible future is created from that future with intention.

A Reminder on Giving & Receiving

Here’s something life keeps teaching me—over and over again:

Giving feels better than receiving.

And that giving energy?
It matters.

It’s the energy that moves through the universe and comes back amplified.
It’s the frequency that creates connection, momentum, and meaning.

I was reminded of this deeply while attending the KNOW Winners Circle Conference, where I had the honor of leading the closing ceremony. I facilitated an activation I call The Angels Exercise.

It’s intimate.
It’s vulnerable.
And honestly—it’s powerful.

Because don’t we all need an angel in our lives?

As I watched a group of women step into the role of “angel”—offering kind words, affirmations, and truths to another—I could feel the shift in the room. And then, moments later, those same women stood on the receiving side.

We had already shared three meaningful days together.
But this took us deeper.
It connected us to what truly matters.

I noticed the external shifts first—
shoulders softening,
posture changing,
smiles emerging.

And then the internal ones.

I noticed what it felt like to hear something meaningful spoken directly to me.
And I noticed what it felt like to give someone else a message they may never forget.

That’s the magic.

This Week’s Invitation

Give a little more of yourself this week.

Not by adding more to your already full schedule.
But by becoming the kind of person who grows every time they give of themselves.

Really stop to be present with someone. Offer them what you wished someone had offered you when you needed it. Not just a 'great job,' but detailed insight into what they did, how they did it and how it landed with you. Even offer them what's possible for them when they do more of it. Help them forecast their future!

Begin again—
with generosity.
with presence.
with intention.

Because when you give, you don’t lose anything.

You expand.

And that expansion?
That’s where everything meaningful begins again. 🌊✨

đź““ Journal Prompts for the Week Ahead

  • If today were a clean slate, what would I choose to do differently—and why does that matter?
  • What whispers have I been ignoring lately (in my body, my work, or my relationships), and what might they be trying to teach me?
  • Where am I holding onto yesterday—shame, blame, expectation, or regret—that I’m ready to release so I can begin again?
  • When was the last time giving felt better than receiving for me?
  • Who could use a little more of my presence, kindness, or encouragement this week—and what would it look like to offer it freely?

PS- Know anyone planning their 2026 conference, convention, sales kickoff or leadership retreat? If you forward them this email and there ends up being some alignment, you'll receive a big thank you and a coaching call with me.

I'm especially known and referred for sales kickoffs, leadership retreats, productivity programs, and creativity workshops.

Thank you in advance for helping me in my mission to help one million people do what they once thought was impossible and raise their impact of their sales, leadership, and collaborative impact.

A new meaning, a new life.

Reader, Extraordinary things are for someone else. Have you had that thought? I know that secret belief. Leading my team at Martha Stewart Living through tech and media disruption, an IPO, public scrutiny, and annual layoffs, I kept my head just above water while I was given: More expectations. More responsibility. More pressure. To some, it looked like ambition, but on the inside it was toxic insecurity. I thought the goal was to survive the pressure — get to the other side of it. I tried...

Are you a procrasta-learner?

Reader, I'm deep into launching a keynote speaking business while running my coaching business. I thought it would be a natural extension. I'm learning the hard way, again, that nothing is as natural as it looks from the outside. In the middle of all of it, I caught myself doing something I recognize in my clients. While scrambling doing all the "right" things, I joined webinars. Paid for summits. Committed to challenges. Consumed podcasts. Took notes I haven't looked at since. This is a...

The perils of pick me energy.

Reader, Last week, I played in a paddle tennis tournament.For a few games on that court, I felt something I can only describe as abundance. The ball met my racquet exactly where I expected it to.I sensed where the return was coming from before it arrived.I wasn’t forcing shots — I was placing them. I was in flow. It felt light.Fluid.Spacious. Full — but not heavy.Focused — but not forced.Effortful — but without resistance. That, to me, is abundance. I also know all too well the opposite...
