One of my values is learning and another is connection and when I meet someone who feels like an immediate connection and teaches you something right away, I am all in.

This is how I felt when I met MK (actually on instagram) the first time and second time and beyond. I loved her voice, her energy, her resourcefulness and stand for inclusion and accessibility through her own life story and through offering education to the World. She embarked on THE12 last year and I got to behold her flourishing into a new job title, new offerings and an expanded self she stepped into and wow, it felt like magic. I am still all in.

I moved to this small mountain town outside of Denver about 4 and ½ years ago with a dream to escape the city, raise my children in flannel on trails and have a community of people who love the outdoors, Earth and adventure. I decided to truly take my time to dig into building a community and let myself bask in this vision board of a goal come to life of owning a home in the mountains.

I met a few small business owners along the way as the town was pretty quaint when we first moved here which led me to a kismet meeting on the floor of my living room with Dani Rooney. We didn’t have much furniture yet but I had a coffee machine and an old vintage rug so I invited Dani over and we sat on a rug with espressos for about 2 hours and the rest is history. We have been supporting one another’s businesses ever since, she with the candles and me with the goals.

Some times you just know. I met Shannon Santangelo virtually on a workshop on ZOOM and then again attending one of her LIVE instagram talks. I wrote her name down on a post it note as someone to keep on my radar. I sent her the post it note before we knew each other and said ‘I think I knew you before I knew you’. And she since joined THE12, she since launched her new offerings, she since pivoted, changed, allowed and surrendered to the power that is her own voice and leads women to do the same. Know her, connect with her.

I say it often and I’ll say it again, everyone needs a Holly Baier in their lives. I met Holly on a goals hike, at a vision board event, in yoga and beyond. I told her I wanted to make her a Goals Hike girls scout-style vest that I could custom create patches for just for her as she led the charge in showing up and being a consistent support system you forget you need. She is sunshine in human form, she taught me how to bullet journal, we have co-led a goals hike together and during the pandemic she came over and taught my kids music and yoga. We all need a Holly, meet her and love her as much as I do.

I met Dr. Nicole Huffman on one of my beloved goals hikes. She has a magnetism about her that wasn’t pushy or overpowering (as I know I can be) and she kept showing up curious, open and truly present. I was hesitant to learn more about naturopathic medicine - even though I love the alternatives in all domains of life really, at this time in my life I was not as open. Grateful she kept showing up so I could open up as I have been working with Dr. Nicole for over 2 years now and consider her a crucial member of my life support team (life support meaning business, body and mind).

I had a reflective conversation with my husband last night about the power of choice in our days and auditing what we are doing with our time. We spoke to consuming the news, social media, podcasts and the nights we flip between streaming TV and reading a library book. We talked about finances, the government, and we explored what makes us happy. We discussed how these choices we make day to day impact our energy and thus, of course, how we show up for one another and our children - how we show up for ourselves.

It was a deeper conversation and it jolted us.

In a good way.

I feel I have known Margaret James for a few lifetimes yet in this one lifetime as we have evolved identities many times over since our first encounter across states and way back before this life. I have been honored to be a coach through some transformations and support of launches for Margaret while I have also have learned to lay down and rest, neti pot, breast massage and estrogen knowledge to name a few through her coaching in rest, Ayurveda and feminine embodiment. She is a force of nature, truly.

Meet Margaret.

I met Molly Woodhull for a vegan donut and hot coffee at a hipster spot in Denver. We had been introduced by Megan Schmer of Olive & Oldes (our first goal share feature!) and she had told Molly to jump into my THE12 mastermind asap. We met. We talked. I listened to big goals with community and mental health and expansion all in her language. She lit up when she spoke. And we have been supporting one another ever since and I was and am honored to be a support system through THE12 and beyond as she launched her first online course in 2020 and now her second with my favorite practice she shared with me: micro meditations.

I am so excited to share the magic of Intuitive Eating Coach and Mama, Soshy Adelstein with you today. I worked with Soshy for the first time over 7 years ago and I vividly remember her taking calls from a closet in a chiropractor office she was working at while launching her business at the same time - she is amazing. She has completed THE12, we have co-led my signature goals hikes together and spoken on panels side by side. And in my own fashion, I have since hired Soshy to support my own IE journey and to this day, we still coach one another in life and business.

Meet Soshy!

Today is a special goal share featuring my former coaching client Emily Bingham, widow, grief coach, fitness pro and Mama. You will experience her story, goals alive and beautiful tips for grief & holidays and I want you to know when I was grieving my Grandmother earlier this year, I went to Emily’s moveTHRU experience with a group of humans on a spin bike and cried and took time to feel and move and it was beautiful to be in a space of receiving when we talked this exact movement (the actual moving and the mission) she is creating at a coffee shop months prior.

Meet Emily.

Starting a new space here on the blog to share blogs of my former clients who are making their goals come to life right on their own time. Today is a force of nature, Megan Schmer who is a CEO, Business Owner, Seamstress Extraordinaire, and Mama. I had the pleasure of working with her in my first iteration of my THE12 mastermind and collaborating many times over with her incredible business and mission.

Meet Megan
