My horoscope said today that I should face the discomfort I've been ignoring. I have a remarkable ability to burn through anything. But that doesn't mean I have to. 

How’s this for discomfort: waking up at 3:35am with a pounding headache the last few nights. I know it’s all related to the heavy weight I'm taking on. I continue to coach people through this time. It means I double-down on my own own mindfulness practices and when I don’t...I feel it more in my head, neck and lower back. 

I keep sharing, writing, and speaking my future to tell my brain to release the fear and doubt it keeps bringing up. I know the future of my life. It's abundant, loving, adventurous, fun and full of curiosity. I’ve seen it multiple times. This feeling I’m experiencing is only a blip. It will pass and I will once again be in my truth and my future.

I share my future with you so that I remember it more and it fills my thoughts in the now:

It’s March 2030. I am 60 years old. My consulting business is flourishing and I have worked with purposeful CEOs and executive leaders in aligning their company culture, business strategy and organizational design. I feel immense gratitude and pride that their companies have surpassed all targets and the impact they are having on their communities and environment is uplifting to me.

I continue to mentor women entrepreneurs in African countries where I make a hands-on difference. I split my work time from my home in Vancouver and property on the sunshine coast. I sit on 3 boards in Canada and mentor women in building their board capabilities. I published a book in 2025 on learnings I derived from my consulting practice and board experiences to share with other leaders in transformation. I speak at international events on these topics.

I have met the man of my dreams and we lift each other up everyday by being our true, authentic selves. I travel throughout the world discovering new places with my daughters, girlfriends and the love of my life. I invest 20% of my revenue into my investment portfolio with purpose led, B-corp organizations. I allocate 15% of my revenue to foundations that support women and children. I am healthy and happy. My body feels amazing everyday and it provides the strength I need to hike, ski and snowshoe in my BC backyard. I meditate daily and engage in daily rituals that bring my best self to those I love and cherish.

Thanks for letting me share my future with all of you. What's in your memory of your future? Please share in the comments.

Be well. Be safe. Stay home.
