the Tea Time blog

Welcome to

I’m going to guess that if you’ve ever made a vision board, it looked a bit like a travel brochure or a perfect Pinterest feed. Maybe there was a photo of a couple standing on the deck of an overwater bungalow, or someone doing yoga on a mountaintop. The images are aesthetically pleasing 🤩, but […]

The other night, my husband asked what I was doing on my phone because tears were rolling down my face. I looked over and told him the truth: “I’m on Instagram watching videos of dogs—some have just 24 hours to be adopted or they’ll be euthanized.” 😭 Usually, when people think about “finding themselves,” they […]

In my last note, I shared how vision boards actually help us achieve our goals. But if today you’re feeling like me—overwhelmed by end-of-year tasks and not even wanting to THINK about new goals—today’s Tea Time isn’t about adding anything new to your to-do list. We’re talking about what can come off the list. Woo! December is already full by […]

Last week I led my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop in person with a group of inspiring women at the historic Rainier Club in Seattle. We enjoyed delicate tea sandwiches, macarons, and a champagne toast, creating the kind of space where sharing your biggest dreams is celebrated. I walked the group through my unique framework, each activity building […]

So, what if the key to manifesting your next big life change is hidden in my Halloween party story? 2.5 years ago, before I even moved to Seattle, I predicted the night in the photo below. I’m sharing the full story with you because my process is your blueprint. This past Saturday I was at the annual […]

OMG, I am so giddy right now; I can’t stop smiling. 😄 There is a private chef in my kitchen right now. As I’m typing, I can hear the sound of pots and pans clinking downstairs, and I am celebrating one of the photos on my vision board coming true.  I follow a few private […]

Last week I was at a conference for entrepreneurs (look at this beautiful background!)… …and the topic of “balance” came up on the panel. One person said they prefer swapping in the word “harmony” instead of balance. This made me think of a symphony: some notes are louder or last longer; different instruments add their […]

Now, you have $444 million in your bank account. No debt. Taxes are paid. You’re free to spend your days however you’d like. What would you do? That’s one of the prompts in my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop, and last week after a session, I got this feedback: “Ugh, I got a lil teary during the […]

Are you a morning person? I got up at 5:45 this morning (early for me 🥱) to lead a session of The Ultimate Vision Board Workshop for a group at Google. It was a lovely group who asked some great questions. I wanted to share the answers I emailed back, in case they’d be helpful to you […]

Next month I’m leading several sessions of my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop for one of my corporate clients. It’s a 90-minute workshop, and we spend 75% of the time NOT creating a vision board. Wait, what? Yep, before we even choose the first photo or open the vision board template, we visualize, journal, and dig into what success […]
