Hi Reader, How are you doing? I had some interesting conversations yesterday with friends and clients. To be honest, I've been numb off and on for over a year as I've opened my eyes to what's really going on in the world. As a Filipina American growing up and working in mostly white spaces, I'm not surprised. Tired, but not surprised. What's helping me is finding local and online community where our values are in alignment. Ultimately, I value collective liberation. Because if the most marginalized person is free, healthy, and, secure -- we are all free, healthy, and secure. Now what does this have to do with business?! As business owners, we ARE the business. If we're not feeling calm, grounded, and safe -- it is hard to work on our business. Sometimes I think, "What's the point?" However, I know there is power in small business.

Here are 7 steps you can use to process any challenging situations:
I'll write more and post it next week. Stay tuned for that. If I can be of any support, let me know. I'm open to networking one-to-ones, complimentary discovery sessions if you're interested in group or private business coaching, and I now also offer laser-focused coaching sessions - The Clear Path Strategy Session. If you're interested in learning more what you can do to dismantle oppressive systems, reply back. I've been on a deep unlearning/learning path about collective liberation. I'm happy to share my resources and organizations that are truly doing the work to help marginalized people. Also, if you're unsure on how to publicly support causes you believe in, check out my video podcast episode on Business and Politics. I apologize for the sound quality. The episodes after that one are much better sound wise. Lol Take care of yourself and let's continue sharing our gifts, making the change you want to see in the world. With love, Gail |

Hello Reader, If you’ve been feeling off-track or unsure about what you truly want, you're not alone. During a recent strategy session with one of my marketing clients, they shared how frustrated they felt about the direction of their business. “It just feels like I’m working to pay other people. I don't want to do this anymore.”I asked them the “magic question” and we aligned their target market, messaging, and marketing plan to who they really wanted to work with. In Episode 13 of the...
Hey Reader,It’s June. That strange halfway point between everything we thought we’d do and everything still possible. The past 7 years have thrown me for a loop. Between a surprise pregnancy, a global pandemic, caretaking our beautifully neurodivergent child, and fascism in our country… There have been many days when I couldn’t see beyond the next 10 minutes, let alone visualize the next 10 years. But today, I’m giving myself permission to dream again. One of my favorite grounding practices...
