Merry Christmas, Sizz!

Merry Christmas, Sizz 🤍

I don’t want this note to be about a holiday. I want it to be about intentional presence. About slowing down enough to notice the people you’re sitting next to. About making memories instead of rushing through the day. About choosing connection—wherever and however that looks for you. Because what I know for sure is this: time isn’t refundable.

I also know that for some people, this space can feel incredibly complicated—especially when relationships are strained and family dynamics feel sensitive right now. And sometimes showing up emotionally feels harder than staying busy and avoiding dealing with conflict. I get that.

I’m in a different space myself. I feel like I’m reintroducing myself to my family and learning how to do life with them in a new way—especially with my mom. I’m learning how much empathy matters. How meeting people where they are can change everything. How choosing love doesn’t mean ignoring truth.

I also want to acknowledge those of you carrying grief right now—because grief can look like many things. Grief for someone you’ve loved. Grief for something that ended. Grief for what you hoped this season would look like for your life. Trust me, —I get that too. You are not forgotten. And I want you to know that you are seen.

If today feels full, hold it. If today feels quiet, honor it. If it feels heavy, be gentle with yourself.

However you’re moving through this space, just know that my heart is extended—and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Take a breath. Be present where you are. And hold close what matters most to you.

​

With love,

Coach. Author. Firestarter.

Hey Sizz, Earlier this week, I talked about something that stops a lot of capable women. Not lack of talent.Not lack of ideas. But fear — and the absence of structure. Women don’t struggle because they aren’t capable.They struggle because they’ve been trying to figure everything out alone. That’s exactly why I created Fire Circle. 👉Before you read any further, I want you to hear this directly from me. Fire Circle is a six-month brand and business cohort for women who are ready to stop...

Hey Sizz, I’m checking in on you. I don’t know if this applies to you — but I know it applies to a lot of women I talk to. You have ideas. You have experience.You know you’re capable. But when it comes to actually putting yourself out there — your brand, your business ideas, your message — things still feel scattered. And for some of you, it’s not even about knowing where to start. It’s deeper than that. It’s not motivation, it’s not even about talent. What’s really underneath it for a lot of...

Clarity came late for me this year—because I was operating on my timetable and not God’s.When I finally got still enough to hear Him, that’s when the pieces started coming together.Don’t be ashamed if your year didn’t unfold the way you expected itDon’t minimize the wins you did have—big or small, they were part of your becoming.As you move into 2026, surrender your timeline.Get quiet. Get still so you can hear.Let God order your steps… and give you the clarity you’ve been praying for. You...
