What I Learned from Leaving My Comfort Zone
This past weekend my “business besties” and I went on an exotic retreat to a faraway land…
Just kidding, we rented a house just down the road from my home, but it felt like we were a million miles away. And it was magical.
This retreat was all about reflecting on the past year, setting intentional business goals, taking time to rest, and making space for conversation, food, and laughter. It was also a chance for me to explore new ideas outside of my traditional thinking and comfort zone- such as astrology and tarot cards. (If Julie, Monica, and Lindsay are reading this, they will attest to the fact that I made a lot of “WHAT are you TALKING about??” faces.)
What I discovered really surprised me- not because it was surprising, but because it was so accurate. Especially when thinking about my journey and how it lead me to become a coach for self-published authors.
Here's a glimpse into what I learned about myself.

Astrological Sign- Leo (solar and lunar), Virgo (rising)
I received a 22-page report on my birth chart from Cafe Astrology. I fully admit that I still don't quite understand it, but here are some of the themes that popped up over and over again in those pages:
hard working, strives toward an ideal
wants to make the world a better place
likes to give advice
feels the need to organize
honest, frank, open, and sincere
needs solitude and alone time
helpful and well-informed
