Nearly a decade ago, after my first film, BRO, was released, I was doing the press and I got asked this questionâŚ.
âDid you just write all the female roles? âÂ
FROM A FELLOW FEMALE.
It nearly knocked me to the floor.Â
Now, sure, the content of the movie had a lot of motocross, drugs, sex, guns, and Danny Trejo in it...even my mom questioned how I knew so much about all those things. *insert whistling and looking the other way. hehe. *
And sure, I was the only girl, let alone former-pageant girl, standing on stage with a production crew of all dudes, dressed up to the nines in my fancy blue dress and heels.Â
It was my director and co-writing partner, Nick Parada, who helped me pick my jaw off the floor, sharing that it was actually ME who wrote the first draft of the script, and it was ME who wrote the first spec that had three guys walking into a strip club that got him and the Executive Producer to say âyesâ to this former pageant princess writing a movie about BROs.
Fast forwa...
I remember when Spike showed me this classic Bob Newhart sketch - heâs one of my fave comedians. Watch it in the link if you want to enjoy it without the spoiler. đ
In the bit, Bob is a psychologist and this patient comes in with this fear of being buried alive in the box. He lets her know thatâs the session.
She is amazed, excited, and eager to get started.
I mean, talk about the MAGIC PILL right?Â
A solution in 5 minutes, sounds too good to be true, RIGHT?
She starts sharing her fears and her thoughts about these fears and going into her story.Â
Bob stops her as sheâs starting to list all the ways and means of when and how this fear comes up and all her reasons for having it.
He interrupts her and lets her know that heâs going to say two words that she can apply to her life and then she can go and leave the session.
âShould I write this down,â she asks him
âWell, itâs only two words. Most people find they can remember them,â he says.
âOkayâŚâÂ
And here she is, on the edge o...
CONFESSION: I like big butts and I cannot lie. Well, I more so like the Sir Mix-a-Lot song.
The REAL truth is, itâs my freaking go-to karaoke song. Yes, I know every word. And I bust it out like you would not imagine. Truly, a spectacle to behold. Youâre welcome if you are blessed to see it.
Recently itâs been in my head. Not because Iâve been going out hitting the karaoke bars - hellloooo, pregnant.Â
But, because Declanâs been sticking his butt in the air, saying âMama, look at my buttâ as he shakes it for all to behold...I have no idea where he learned this.Â
I mean this kid has NO inhibitions.
And I wonderedâŚ
What if we all cared a little less about what OTHER people thought and had our BACKs more on what brings us true joy?
Getting âbackâ or having âbackâ to you is more than just having a booty and shakinâ that money maker.Â
Itâs about having your own back.
Fearlessly having your own back, even when others donât see or believe in what it is youâre creating.

Did it bother you that I spelled âwerkâ wrong?Â
I mean, Iâm probably the WORST at grammar and correct spelling, but intentionally spelling a word wrong to be cool like Rhianna is both liberating and at the same time, I want to go back and fix the glaring spelling mistake...like, right now.
AnyhowâŚ
Itâs funny when you start to become hyper self-aware of your sh-tuff.
As Dr. Gabor Mate says in his book When the Body Says No - our book of the month for our Mindful Monarchs Members -Â
âThere is no true responsibility without awareness...People are deprived of the opportunity to become truly responsible...The more we can learn about ourselves, the less prone we are to become passive victims.â
Otherwise, weâre just cleaning the surface.
Kinda like dusting off the deck of the Titanic.Â
The ship may be sinking, but - hey! - at least itâs clean.Â
How often do we forgo really looking at the root of our Sht-uff in the name of comfo...
Put the journal down. Put the course on pause. STOP...wait! Before you sign up for that next certification program.
And check yoâself.
Are you doing these...things...because you believe you âhave toâ do them or are âsupposed toâ do them or âshouldâ do them to be successful?
This is the difference between taking ALIGNED action.Â
And following the rules.
(I mean, didnât you start building your business to NOT follow other peopleâs rules? Or is that just me?)
Having coached good-hearted, high-achieving, visionary leaders and entrepreneurs for the past 5 years, I have seen more entrepreneurs WILLINGLY give their souls over to the latest âguruâ or âmarketing strategyâ just because someone positioned themselves strong enough to be in the space whereâŚget thisâŚ
THEY make you believe THEY have the answer.
Heck, maybe even YOU believe that THEY have the answer...instead of YOU.
In your soul.
How uncomfortable did that subject line make you feel? Because hereâs the thing about creative energy - it can get you feeling uncomfortable. Vulnerable. Open. Raw.Â
And, GASP! Clutch your pearls grandma...AUTHENTICALLY ALIGNED AND ALIVE!
Thatâs what sexual energy is.
Napoleon Hill called it âsexual transmutationâ in his book, Think and Grow Rich.
And there is so much shame, societally, that we are taught to have around this sexual energy.
Because how often have you had an idea for a book or a movie or a business or a new strategy and you shared it with people and they thoughtâŚ
It was no good.
Or it was too weird.
Or that it would never become anything.
And if you ACCEPT these perceptions, then suddenly you suppress your sexual energy with shame.Â
Thereâs also so much CONFUSION that can happen around this sexual, creative energy.
This is the same energy that makes people think they are in love in the workplace when they are working closely on a project together.
Itâs no

How often do you have a habit or a practice in place that feels SOOOOOOOO GOOD? I mean, doing this thing makes your body feel ALIVE, vibrant...AH-MAZING!
But for some reason...somewhere along the way...you just...STOP. DOING. IT.Â
What gives?Â
Fear, duh.Â
Typically, having coached high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders for the past itâs just because weâve lost the container of having a fear-based drive to do it.Â
The problem was...YOU SAW RESULTS.
Wait? Isnât that what you wanted right?Â
Yep, exactly.Â
You donât feel the need to go to the gym AS OFTEN if youâve lost those ten pounds.Â
You donât feel the need to continue to prospect for clients AS OFTEN after youâve hit a $10K month.
So you stop or slow down the intensity in which you chased the goal
From away from what you donât wantâŚ
Like being 10 pounds heavier.
Or only making $4K a month.
Ever wonder why so many people fall out of love with their business? Or their job? Or their career?Â
I mean, you studied for it.Â
You trained for it.Â
You probably achieved so much in it already.
So what gives?
Typically, having coached high-achieving multi-passionate leaders for the past 5 years, Iâve found that itâs not the job or the business or the career that grows weary.
Itâs their motivation strategy.
You start a business or job or a career to move you AWAY from pain.
You DONâT want to feel constrained by a job anymore...so you start a business!
You DONâT want to be broke...so you start a career or a new job!
You started something because of something you DIDNâT want. But eventually, that motivation will only go so far.
Think of it like thisâŚ
You can hit the gas running while looking in the rearview mirror shaking the dust of what you DONâT want for only so long.Â
You canât drive forward for the long term while looking in the rearview mirror.
Youâll crash.
And so ...
