Founder, CEO

I help people realize their value and communicate it to others.

Stuck in an endless loop of client changes?
Lost track of what revision this constitutes?

Yeah. Been there. Done that.

The secret? It's not about saying no.
It's about saying yes to the right things upfront.

Every project that goes sideways starts the same way:
Vague agreements. Fuzzy boundaries. Good intentions.
Six weeks later you're bleeding money and everyone's frustrated.

Here's my framework after 30 years of running two 8-figure businesses:

The SOW is your salvation.
Not some boilerplate template. 
A real document that covers:
• Exact deliverables (not "design work" but "3 homepage concepts, 2 rounds of revisions")
• Hours of operation ("We respond M-F, 9-5 PST. Weekend requests get Monday responses")
• Revision rounds spelled out ("Round 1 includes up to 5 changes. Round 2 includes 3.")
• Feedback cycles defined ("48-hour turnaround for client feedback or the project may be delayed or additional fees may be incurred")

But here's what most people miss—
Don't work on client notes immediately.

Client sends 37 pieces of feedback at 11pm Friday?
Producer sends conflicting notes from the CEO?
Marketing wants one thing, sales wants another?

Stop.
Collect everything first.
Resolve the conflicts. Get on the phone and discuss it with your client to get alignment.
Separate the "have to haves" from the "nice to haves".
Then present unified changes.

"Based on all feedback received, here are the 8 changes we'll implement. This constitutes revision round 2 of 3."

Watch how fast the random requests stop.
No extra work that goes unappreciated.
No more feelings of being taken advantage of.

Communicate before the crisis, prevents the crisis from happening.

"Just so you know, we're entering round 2. You have one more included. After that, it's $X per additional round."

No surprises.
No awkward money conversations.
No resentment.

Scope creep isn't a them problem.
It's a you problem.
And that's good news, because that means you are in control.

They're not trying to take advantage.
They just don't know where the boundaries are because you never drew them.

Draw the lines early.
Communicate them clearly.
Everyone wins.

What's your most painful scope creep story?
What boundary would've prevented it?

For weeks, I've been running an experiment to see if AI could replace me.
(edit) Or maybe the better question is “Can you outperform yourself with AI?” Puja Nandi.

The results? They're making me question everything.

This is my confession.

I've been using Stanley AI to write my LinkedIn posts. Sometimes an idea I wanted help developing (introverts survival guide). Sometimes captions for videos. Sometimes just to see what it would suggest.

The tone, formatting, content—spot on. Of course it doesn't know everything about me, so editing was required. But sometimes it perfectly captured my quirky humor and writing style.

The first post outperformed my typical posts by 8x.

Yes. 8x!!

At first I was nervous. Would it be obvious? Would someone call me out immediately? I waited with bated breath as I hit post. And waited.

It was like a passage from Edgar Allen Poe's Tell-Tale Heart. Can't you hear it? Wasn't it obvious? It was maddening.

Here I am, beating the authenticity drum on LinkedIn while not being 100% authentic myself. Racked with guilt.

With each affirmation—"I needed to hear this", "love your perspective", "that hit different"—I just felt like a total imposter.

People say human-made is better. 
That all AI content is slop.

Apparently not.

Go back. Reread some of my posts. 
Tell me which ones are AI.

Have we crossed that line?
Is this the end?

In forthcoming posts, I'll share with you my prompt, what it gave me and the edits that I made.

Spoiler*—it's not set it and forget it. But it's freaking good!

Leadership Coach

Stop Overthinking. Start Trusting. Helping spiritually curious overthinkers cut through the noise, trust their inner wisdom, and take aligned action. Psychic | Intuitive Healer & Coach | Speaker | Podcast Host

I help high-achieving overthinkers and purpose-driven leaders reconnect with their inner wisdom so they can stop spiraling and start living with clarity, purpose, and unshakable self-trust.

I’m an Intuitive Healer, Psychic, Transformational Coach (PCC), and Host of Don’t Step on the Bluebells — a podcast about healing, intuition, and personal transformation.

For years, I led teams and projects in marketing, conservation, and leadership development. I had the titles, the degrees, the dream clients. But behind the success was a quiet ache. I was outwardly accomplished, inwardly unfulfilled, and constantly questioning if this was really it.

My turning point came in 2014. I realized that the life I’d built — impressive on paper — wasn’t aligned with who I truly was. So I left it all behind. I moved to Asia, trained in coaching and Reiki, and began integrating the mystical with the practical.

That awakening changed everything.

Now, I guide others through the same journey — from overthinking to inner knowing, from burnout to deep alignment, from striving to soulful living.
