Glitter and Goals

08/29/2026

Tell me… what are your thoughts on ? I wish we could get to where as coaches WE work together for the greater good of our clients.
This past year I have been blessed to collab with Katie-Britt Greenway with multiple girls where she was the PRIMARY coach and I worked with them additionally and we have been able to share information- things for me to work on that are my strengths and more. KB has been in the business forever .. and I have adored her since SHE competed - which makes the relationship different. I have also been able to collab with multiple other coaches and it is the most amazing thing to be able to do this. And I am SO appreciative of those coaches who love to collab and chat - even when we don’t agree with the direction a girl should go. Opinions are PHENOMENAL and it truly does take a village!
But then…. There ARE those coaches who claim a client after their 1 free sponsored session - or portions of a win they had nothing to do with. Or even on a coaches bio that for a win they didn’t coach them for that competition. That’s always fun.
In coaching - for me - there is so much more that goes into it beyond the 45-55 minute session. There are the conversations outside of that time covering platforms- appearances- social media posting - BEING at the pageant- warm ups the day of … and of course planning for the NEXT adventure.
My question is this ……
Moms- do you want your coaches to collab or do you prefer to keep it separate?
Contestants … is it confusing to have coaches collab or comforting ?

Just curious as we continue to float around in this world full of sparkles.
Being able to be part of our next set of world leaders - impact makers - is such a great blessing.

Now that the heels are unpacked … it’s time for a post.
I have loved Sophie Pittman for a long time - watching her as MHSA Junior High and in other pageants - but haven’t ever worked with her until preparing for Maryland Teen USA and Teen USA. And it was such a JOY to be added to her team !
Sophie is —- JOY. Simply put. She is hard working - taking in every idea and critique ( well - all but one - you will have to ask her about what I wanted her to pack with her - lol )
And to get the face time after interview and hearing her say - I ATE ! That was the best interview of my LIFE ! They ask ALL the hard questions which is what I WANTED!! That was the most INCREDIBLE moment !!
Even though the END goal wasn’t what we wanted or expected… the current goal was met. To COMPETE and win and become Miss Maryland Teen USA - represent a place she TRULY lives and loves … and do the job she was asked to do.
Sophie had 27 days to prep from winning her state title to walking on her dream stage. And she did ALL the work.
Sophie is also the most INCLUSIVE- and APPRECIATIVE young woman. From ALWAYS saying thank you - to hand written notes - to creating Sophie’s Spectacular Text group that may live on way past the competition ( that thread is amazing ) !!
Sophie has traveled overseas - lived off the grid, created a way for others to give back and volunteer , and been a leader like non other.
She is one of the ones that gives me hope for our future. And yes - one day we will be drinking our morning brew listening to her on the Morning Show.
Thank you Sophie Pittman for allowing me to be part of your incredible team - and the work isn’t complete- you have an amazing title to represent over the next 10 months and I cannot wait to watch you THRIVE in all that you do.
And to ALL her coaches …. Yall. THIS is what collaborative coaching SHOULD look like ! OUR goal was to have Sophie as prepared as possible. It was amazing.
Let’s go Soph !!

is complete ! Whew !!!
This summer I traveled 3328 Miles with pageant clients. I added that number up and said - wait - WHAT ??? And then I added it up again. That was just in the months of June and July !
AND this is not my full time job - lol !!
Every year - Every season I say- I can’t do it again but then - here we go again.
For me - it’s about the relationships I have with the young women I am able to work with. It’s about the CONFIDENCE I hear in them - it’s about the connections they make through appearances and competition.
Honestly - if it was about the crowns- we can get those off of Amazon -
Thank you to all those who let me be even a small part of your journey.
I promise I am still studing- practicing- and learning to offer you the very best I have to offer.
And to the coaches who allow me to collab with them- thank you. Your trust and inclusion mean the world to me.
Let’s get ready for the Fall kick off …. Who is going to Charleston ?? See you there !!

Coaching …..
Do your coaches agree to collaborate ? Does someone who gives you ONE free session “claim” you as their client ? Do they include themselves as part of YOUR team ?
Make sure those you include in your journey are there to see YOU succeed …. Not just an additional client to list.
