Allow me to reintroduce myself.

Over the last year, I’ve grown so much. In isolation, I reflected. While parts of me are the same, parts of me have evolved and I think it’s time for a reintroduction. 

Hi, I’m Cady. 

I am a native Floridian. A lover of sunrises, sunsets, and sunshine in general. For the past several years, I have practiced as an estate and trust litigation attorney. I have learned so much from my practice. Litigation taught me about organization, confidence, and public speaking. The stressful environment taught me about balance and prioritizing. Some days the practice of law sucks. Other days it sucks less.


Regardless, I have learned to manage the stress and negativity by focusing on my needs. 
I want to help other professionals in high-stress environments with similar issues - overcoming burnout, recovering from perfectionism, and finding joy in the day to day. I started a coaching business earlier this year to do just that. Everyone has the opportunity to create a balanced, fulfilled life and I want to teach people how and to help them grow. Your life is 100% in your control if you’d only pick up the reins. 

My mission is to build confidence in my peers so that they stand up for themselves at work and home, create boundaries when necessary, and choose themselves daily. I want to lead changemakers towards the development of compassionate and respectful work environments. While our daily tasks may be stressful, I do not think our workplaces should be. I think that we can all make a contribution if we live a life aligned with our values and our strengths. If we were all just a little more content, we would be kinder and the world would be a better place. 

I think a good way to learn about ourselves is to slow down and reflect. A good mentor helps too. I believe in a routine that enhances my mental and physical health which includes exercise, outdoor time, reading, journaling, meditation, sleepy-time tea, and constant learning. I think humans thrive with connection and that having a good circle of supportive, like-minded friends can do wonders. 

On the lighter side, I love funny cat videos, Lisa Frank swag, cake, nonfiction books, traveling, the beach, and dogs with smushy faces. I love being on the water with my family, Halloween candy, training at my local gym, meeting new people, and asking questions. I love motivating and helping others to live their best lives. 

If you want to know more about me, or are considering working with a coach, I hope that you’ll contact me. I would be so happy to support you on your path of self-discovery.

Fear Goblin Frank

As I continue to grow my business, I feel conflicting emotions. The most obvious is fear. Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of the unknown. Negative emotions have a tendency to stand louder than the positive ones. They’re based in history, society’s views, and the pressures imposed by our parents and family members. Fear will almost always be present.  But, I experience other emotions too. A deep desire to help others and grow my business. A need to align myself with my values of independence and service. Excitement for what’s to come and the authority to make decisions completely on my own. It is an adventure and a learning experience.  Many will say that you cannot live with both the positive and negative emotions. That you have to overcome the fear and anxiety before you can succeed. I disagree. I believe that we will always live with some level of fear but that we have to learn to acknowledge it and let it live within and alongside our other emotions. It will always ...

Self Talk

I started a class on language which includes both verbal and non-verbal communication in conversation and interactions among clients, friends, family, and even strangers. One of the thoughts that really struck me is how much the words you say, or your body language, can affect your beliefs.  You talk to yourself more than anyone. Have you ever stopped to consider what you are saying to yourself that may be affecting what you believe about who you are and what you bring to the table? Is your mind littered with negative self-talk? What are you saying to yourself that is true and what is baseless? What beliefs have you developed as a result of what you say to yourself? We have a tendency to distort things, spiral, or get angry and let our brains run wild. We say so many things to ourselves that are not grounded in reality but the more often we say them, the more likely we are to believe them. If you tell yourself every day that you are unworthy, you’re going to start believing it. The...

Change

The last few weeks, I’ve really noticed how hesitant people are to make a change in their lives. So many colleagues, friends, and even family members are frustrated by their day to day but they don’t want to do anything different. I keep wondering why? Why not rip off the bandaid and step forward into the unknown? My guess is that it’s fear based. That doing something new or different is always scary. What if you get a different outcome than you did with your old way of doing things? What if you fail? What if you make less money? What if someone judges you for doing things a different way? It’s all fear and shame and it serves no purpose other than to cripple you.  Change is after all, inevitable. You will never be in the same job, relationship, place, home, etc. for your entire life. Things change fast and often without input from you. What if we started embracing those changes instead of fearing them? Regardless of whether they are self-imposed or a result of others. What if we c...
