RARE vs ROAR

Now's a good time to be reflective and look back on your word for the year . In fact, If you are one of my coaching clients you know I am a firm believer in the word for the year, month and day. Some may call this overkill but, I know these simple tools help create structure and pillars that provide motivation as you move toward your goals. Habits if you will. If you recall my word was amplify - but it was less about being loud and showy and more about using my voice for the greater good - to create change on a moment by moment and person by person basis.

And here’s the truth: the same way I guide my clients and MembHers to anchor into their words, I anchor them into their breath. Breathwork is where clarity becomes embodied, it’s not just mindset or motivation, every session is a full-body reset that activates energy, restores balance, and creates space for aligned action.

Coaching provides the structure, breathwork provides the integration. Together, they’re what keep you moving forward, not just thinking about it.

That’s why I cross-train my clients in both—it’s not either/or. It’s the combination of the two that creates real transformation.

If you’re ready to amplify your courage and practice this work in community, join me at one of my upcoming sessions:

Good news, you can practice with me this Thursday, October 2 at Kama Wellness and at Platefit in October with a special New Libra Moon on Tuesday, October 21. New Moon in Libra ushers in a powerful cosmic reset, emphasizing beauty, fairness, and connection.

I've been thinking a lot about what truly makes me unique as a transformational coach. Of course, the obvious is that I come with acute business and wellness acumen, which trust me is a rare find. But honestly, the greater part of it is simply that I bring ME—all of me that is. I do not hold back trying to always pose myself as the expert, which I frankly am I listen deeply and am not afraid to share my own antidotes of my journey. Why? Well, I do not believe in perfection (recovering pleaser and co-dependent of course)

I believe in progress. One step at a time and one experience too. I have always modeled that we learn from our experiences and that is what propels us to make our choices.

So my greatest strength is my authenticity. I show up as myself, even when it’s uncomfortable, and I choose not to live by the obligations of societal norms or expectations. To me, that’s the true meaning of being you—even if it means losing friends along the way.

I'd like to say that is a rare quality in a society where people are always trying to fit in and match.

Ah to know one's self! I want you to find your RARE this Fall - be exceptional; be the needle in the haystack... I want you to shed the societal expectations this season; to stop, pause, and breath - I want you to find way to be rare and not have to roar to be heard.

4 Ways to be RARE not ROAR -

Reflect - looking for clarity
Align - bringing belieges and actions together
Rise - stepping into courage and expansion
Embody - fully living your truth in daily life

Like a diamond, when you strip away the pressure to conform, your true self shines. I'm not here to roar but to continue to to show up with courage. And trust me it' time for you to be authentically you, you're RARE!

Be well. Do well.

All my Best,
