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’m also asked why we produce and host events that are not strictly business, but include personal and professional development. Well what I know to…

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…

Is this what you want?

How many times have you been asked what you want only to respond with what you don’t want? The distinction between what you want and what you don’t want is one each of us must face. If you believe in the law of attraction, then you understand the importance of stating what…

Everything is Everything…or is it?

Everything is everything. Translation – it’s all good or it is as it is. No it’s not. Not all the time! How often do we say it’s all good, fine or okay when really what we feel is beaten up, freaked out, isolated or overwhelmed? I believe that when we state falsely,…

What if you have only a thousand?

What if you only had one thousand tomorrows left to live? A thousand tomorrows (1000 days) equals 2.74 years, 24,000 hours, 1,440,000 minutes or 86,400,000 seconds. What if you only had a thousand tomorrows? Would it be enough? Tomorrow is abstract – never spent and yet we bank on it, as though…

Committed or Interested

So my dear, you say you’re committed. You say you are dedicated and will do whatever it takes and yet, you waiver in the face of adversity or worse you bolt! Is this harsh? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the truth. The kind of truth that wakes you at night. Or the kind…

Women BREAKING the Rules!

I have a crush on women who move beyond their circumstances, overcome great odds, old stories, stereotypes, ageism, cultural restraints and simply put BS – Belief Systems. Being an entrepreneur can be rough, dirty, heartbreaking and taxing at times. It takes big girl panties or big boy shorts. That is why successful…

I touched a nerve!

Last month I posted a blog about the importance of being present in all we do. The importance of access, clarity, community, and accountability. Of going, growing, learning and the importance of attending live events. The blog addressed the lack of human interaction that online programs offer. They aren’t a ‘one perfect solution’…
