The Speech I Didn't Know I Was Ready to Give
The Speech I Didn't Know I Was Ready to Give

I didn't plan to cry during my son's wedding speech. I'd practiced, prepared, even made a 12-foot scroll that unrolled dramatically down the aisle for laughs. But when I looked at my son and his bride, and at my husband after 32 years of hard-won marriage, I realized something: I was standing there as someone I didn't used to be. The words that came out—about vulnerability as courage, about trust as sacred responsibility—those weren't things the old version of me could have said. Not out loud. Not with confidence. This is Part 1 of a 7-part series on what it really takes to love well and be fully known.

Living the Both/And: Where Being and Becoming Finally Become One
Living the Both/And: Where Being and Becoming Finally Become One

We're conditioned to think in binaries: Stability OR growth. Being OR becoming. Roots OR wings. Pick one. Commit. Stay there. But life doesn't work that way. You need both. Not sequentially, but simultaneously. At the same time. In the same breath. This is Soul Force—where being and becoming finally become one. Not the elimination of tension, but the integration of paradox.

What You Keep, What You Release
What You Keep, What You Release

I'm standing at the back of the church, watching my youngest son and his bride walk out into their new life together, and I feel two things at once: A sweet, aching release—the caregiving relationship I've treasured for so long is shifting. And an unexpected surge of freedom—Now, more than ever before, it's time to follow my own dreams.

In just a few weeks, my husband retires from the military after three decades. We don't know yet if we're staying or moving—that depends on what opportunities emerge. But I'm not just asking where we're going. I'm asking who I'm becoming—and what I need to carry with me into whatever comes next.

Here's what I'm learning: Some things we carry aren't actually part of us. They're scaffolding—temporary supports we needed to build something, but not the thing itself. The problem is, we hold onto them so long they start to feel essential. And then when circumstances change, we can't tell the difference between losing scaffolding and losing ourselves.

The art of knowing what to carry forward and what to leave behind—that's the work of authentic growth.

The Growth Trap: When the Pursuit of Becoming Becomes Exhausting Performance
The Growth Trap: When the Pursuit of Becoming Becomes Exhausting Performance

In my last blog, I wrote about how protocols saved me. And that’s true. But here’s what I’m learning—the hard way, in real time: The same discipline that grounds you can also trap you when you forget to ask if you’re pursuing the right kind of growth. Not all movement is progress. Not all optimization is healthy. Sometimes the pursuit of growth becomes its own form of imprisonment.

The Space Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming
The Space Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

There’s something sacred about the final days of a year—not because January 1st holds magical power, but because we grant it power. We decide this moment is worth pausing for, worth asking ourselves the hard questions we’ve been too busy to ask all year. This is your invitation to reflect on who you’ve become in 2025—and intentionally design who you’ll become in 2026.

What We're About

Here's the truth: most people don't lack ambition or ability. They lack clarity. After years of reacting, adapting, and putting everyone else first, they've lost touch with who they are at their core. They're tired, scattered, and second-guessing decisions that should feel obvious.

That's where we come in.

Through coaching, workshops, and creative strategy, we help you get back to the centerline—that place where your values, your vision, and your truth live. Then we help you build a life and a presence that actually reflects it.

Whether you're navigating a major transition, stepping into something new, rebuilding after change, or finally ready to pursue what matters most, the work is the same: get clear, build intentionally, and close the gap between who you are and who you're becoming.

This is for the seekers and the builders, the purpose-driven professionals and the everyday heroes. It's for anyone tired of waiting for perfect circumstances and ready to do the real work—the kind that transforms from the inside out.
