It begins with a nagging feeling as you scroll through Instagram feed: everyone else is so focused and together, yet you’re floundering from day to day to figure out what you want this weekend, let alone next year (or for your life). Deep down you’re afraid to begin dreaming about what kind of life you […]

Standards Support You in Creating a Life You Love
You decided that this would be the year you made some of those big dreams of yours turn into reality.

Mess to Delight: A Home Office Love Story
As I write this note, I am trying to look forward at my screen, though my peripheral vision is screaming at me to look instead at The Big Mess that is my desk. Piled to the left of me are stacks of books and planners, a slew of baby index cards, a pair of scissors, […]

Wrap Up the Year and Look Ahead
To say that 2017 has been eventful is an understatement. With travel, the loss of my father, discovering more about my genetic clan, and just the day-to-day living of life and responsibilities, it’s been a year full of challenges, emotional ups and downs, and big lessons learned.

Story Sharing in the Age of #MeToo
I had lunch with a girlfriend (and fellow coach) this week and we talked about EVERYTHING, as you do when you’re sitting across the table from someone you completely trust. We talk about each aspect of our story: love, life, parenting, food, relationships, and more. I’m sure you’ve had one of those conversations that run […]

Systems Help Make Your Dreams a Reality
Last year, a client asked to work with me, and her number-one reason for choosing me out of a sea of coaches was that no matter what, my newsletter showed up in her in-box as promised. For five years, it was weekly, and then I switched to every-other-week. She wanted to know my secret to […]

Kindness is Always a Choice
If there is one thing I can tell you about managing your life so that you can love it, it’s this: no matter how blessed you feel most of the time, there will always be stresses and challenges. The way you manage those challenges will define the reactions you choose. I understand that advice is […]

You Can’t Have It All (And That’s OK)
With a childhood in the 70’s and an adolescence in the 80’s, I grew up with the song from the Enjoli ad in my head as the mantra about what a modern woman should be. As the sexy blonde sang about how you can have it all, fueled by the magic 24-hour perfume, I bought […]
