My 2020 Defining Word

Every year I pick a defining word. Last year I had a doubleheader – kindness and service. It wasn’t too much to manage at the beginning of the year as I only had to handle me. I love serving others and giving back, so that was easy. Maybe it was the timing…

It’s a Saturday thing…

Last Saturday, we woke to a stunning sunrise and we readied for our trip to San Jose Del Cabo. At 6:30am, the first of the tour arrived excited and eager to get going. We loaded up the two trucks and headed to the facility to lock and load all the goodness and…

We are jumping off – with both feet!

Ever since I was eight years old, I have longed to make a difference. I mean at the grassroots level, to do the work and be able to say yes it mattered in some small way. It’s not only a longing, it’s part of my DNA – who I am at my…

Dreams, Dishes, & Desires!

In 2007 I was Jo-Ann Vacing, a woman in hiding, playing small and staying safe. I was a licensee of another company that worked to provide women in business solutions for business challenges. I most certainly wasn’t living the life I dreamt of – the life I lead today. Back then my…

Do you ever feel out of alignment in your life or business?

I am often asked how I moved from where I once was in hiding under an alias, to becoming an international best-selling author and speaker working internationally.

I’ve had so many epiphanies over the last few months. Today I’m going to share some of them. In May 2017 I committed to an experiment that would take me from the comfort of my spacious home office, to living and working in a tiny home in Mexico for six months. On…

Was I Scared? Hell yeah!

That moment you realize you made it through five years, and are on a beach with your dog and your thoughts walking your talk and working to serve others. That’s a great moment! In 2012 I opened Frock Off Inc., and for one year I generated NO REVENUE! Not a penny. Instead, I…

Have you ever broken a promise?

The truth is we all have at one time or another. And if you have, you are faced with what to do next. You understand at your core that if you make a promise, you are not only expected, but required to keep it. After all, you promised! And this holds true…

Hustle, grind, crush it and all that jazz…

Hustle, grind, crush it, the early bird gets the worm and all that jazz. By all means work hard, smart, and with passion. BUT life is more than crushing it day in and day out! Here is what I know for sure. It’s not always about slaying the dragon… it’s not about…

The Whole Truth

These shoes are amazing for so many reasons… but the idea of walking in them hurts me. Kudos to those who can… I prefer a platform or wedge with sass. Yet, when I look at this picture I am drawn to it. Is this what success looks like? Maybe to some. There…

Life’s a Beach

Let’s face it, sometimes life’s a beach… and some summers are better than others. And if you live north of the 49th parallel (which a majority of Canada and Northern US citizens do) then you are well aware that summer is a short season. Summer in parts of North America is 90…

Don’t listen to what they say – you most certainly can, and should!

It’s said you can’t go back. I am here to say you most certainly can, and should, go back. If you have read Frock Off: Living Undisguised you know that life as a child was challenging. My parents struggled with even the basics in life. That said, I do have some very happy memories…
