Every time the mainstream media posts another story of a higher court protecting an entrepreneur’s right to refuse service to a gay couple, I am torn. You see, I think the courts got it right… legally.

Yesterday, I wrapped up… the last possible day to join Women Who WOW and still get 1:1 access to me via 2x monthly coaching. I was thrilled to welcome new members from Tennessee, Canada, California, New Zealand, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Oregon and more. But a lot of women said “no thanks.” Some reached out to

You know, desperately, frantically preserving “resources,” (i.e. money.)… Never really making progress towards my goals because I felt so SURROUNDED by the “threats.” My financial obligations surrounded me like an invading army. Like a city under siege, all I could imagine was the inevitable moment when I literally couldn’t survive another day… when I couldn’t
