Have you ever heard the quote that says, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"? It's one of my favorites and ever since I first heard it, has given me the means by which I am able to totally shift my life in an instant. Once we realize that were capable of changing our perspective and how deeply that changes th…

Hello my dear listeners! Miss me? I missed you. I did. This episode is all about how to listen to what you need and how GREAT the benefits are when you do. I've take a summer hiatus from productivity and have willingly slowed down in many ways. It has been truly life giving. There is so much to learn from what we truly know inside of ourselves to b…

Do you ever have those times in your life when absolutely everything and everyone is driving you crazy? I have been feeling like no one respects my time, no one works efficiently, everybody's a mess, and I'm the only one capable of getting things done.

There's so many times in our lives I'm find ways to medicate, numb out, and hide from what is really going on because we are in a state of discomfort. The problem is that we think we are doing this in an effort to feel better but checking out from our lives only makes us feel worse. How can we stop from getting to a place where we feel so uncomfort…

Are you a perfectionist? Are you a high achieving woman? So many of us who have spent our lives trying to be and do and have it all can identify with these descriptors. Whether it is about your body, your career, your home, your family, or your finances, there are myriad ways that we aim high and set unreasonable and unattainable standards for ours…

I know I can't be the only one who runs myself ragged until I hit a wall going 100 miles an hour and can't take another step! I think it is one of our universal burdens as women that we multitask and take on so many things that we aim to do at such a high level all at once. The work for us here is in recognizing what is too much and what we can let…

Rage! Is this something you experience? It is something that I have been struggling with and didn't even realize it until it crept into my life once I stopped drinking alcohol. My rage is mostly related to parenting and frustrations I have raising young children and has reared it's ugly head all too often over the past year, specifically. I have do…

Mostly this episode is about how to speak to yourself with kindness and compassion especially when you have done something that you are disappointed by or have let yourself down in some way. The way we speak to ourselves really matters. Believe it or not, the things that we say to ourselves we believe! The words we use and even the intonation and i…

How can we know what we want from our lives or what is working for us and what isn't if we never take a step back? This is a lesson I recently learned. I may have known it before, but never put it into practice quite as I did this month. When we are in a state of overwhelm it is nearly impossible to see what it is that is affecting us. When we take…

Shame, shame! It is a shame we spend so much time feeling shame. It is a natural state of affairs that we as women carry around shame for so many things in our life ranging from what we've eaten to what we've said to what we believe we ought to have done or who we should be in the world. But what does shame do? Why does it exist? does it serve a be…

On the heels of my 45th birthday, which was largely a very special and lovely day, I bring to you the process of working through an argument with the one I love.

We play so many roles as busy women and yet none is more important than the role we play in our own lives. Problem is, we don't focus on it enough or give it the attention that it deserves. Our relationship with our self is everything and we want it to be stronger, but how? We are in so much pain over so many things. We are able to let this pain go…

I know some of you busy moms out there are thinking to yourself that I'm going to be talking about how to come home and find an empty house without noisy children and a million things to do!

Today I celebrate and Mark a very important, significant, special day in my life that I never imagined I would. 2 years ago today I willingly, consciously, bravely, and wholeheartedly removed alcohol from my life and have never looked back. There is no simple way to share how I feel about this or the magnitude of the pride and Joy I feel at this ac…

I've been cleaning out my mom's house and attic and that has meant going through boxes and boxes of my own memorabilia and photos. Sifting through piles of the last four decades of my life has caused me to look at my life in a way I never have, to look at me in a way I never have. The irony is that this deep spiritual work I have done over the last…

Happy 2021! New year, new you? Nooooo, none of that. Let's hear into the year just as we are. No resolutions that we break and feel bad about. No focus on what's "wrong" with us that we "need to change". We have what we need and are who we are and that is a beautiful thing! But I do love the idea of choosing a word for the year or setting an intent…

You may have heard this time and time again, but the absolute truth is that being grateful changes your life for the better. Practicing gratitude like a religion everyday, many times a day, maybe even all day, changes the way you move through life and calls into your life all of the good feelings you may be seeking and not finding right now. It is …

Do you know how important it is to keep yourself calm no matter what is happening in your life and the world around you? We cannot be who we need and want to be for anyone else or take care of anything in our very challenging lives effectively if we are swirling around in our own inner turmoil. We just prioritize our own calm, our own good feeling,…

Change your thoughts, change your life. Your thoughts turn into things. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. These are all concepts created by spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer. I love his work. And it is so true that your thoughts have power. It is also true that you are able to change your thoughts. When you notic…

What do you do when you are completely tapped out and realize that you have nothing left to give? You are not able to communicate in the way that you normally do, you can't be there for people in the way that you want to, and you can't even find the words to say the things that you want to say and that came so easily to you before.

Stacie first joined me for a conversation on March 9th when we were just starting to feel the tug of Covid-19 making an impact on our country, but before we could begin to imagine how quickly our lives as we knew them would change.

Dr. Caroline Leaf shared the quote of the Pandemic, if you ask me. "This is a Pandemic, NOT a productivity contest." It's time we loosen up on the expectations we have for ourselves and others during this time. Wow, do I need that advice! I've got to really work on acting on it. But we as we see that this is a marathon and not a sprint, we have got…

Hello? Is anybody there? It's so quiet everywhere! Except inside my house where my children are constantly yelling at each other or asking me for things.

Whew! What a month this week has been. Am I right? We're living through something unthinkable. Something Nour generation and those above and below us have only ever read about.

Are you feeling a little unlike yourself? Yeah, me too. But when I finally decided to put on mascara again I felt like a million bucks! Just like that! So now we are trapped at home indefinitely. And it's easy to slip into exercise clothes and never take them off and never shower and not think about hygiene or self-confidence or even self-respect. …

Well, it's happening! Everything's being canceled, even school, and now we have our kids at home, are trying to work, and find a new "normal" in a world that is increasingly crazy.

Well, I did it! One year ago today I sat at a beautiful dinner with my husband in Punta Cana and had my last class of white wine. I knew that it was my last, and it didn't even taste good going down because I was so ready to be done with it. I told him I didn't want to drink anymore and asked him if he could be okay with that. He said yes, of cours…

MIDLIFE is not a dirty word! And it's not shameful, embarrassing, or depressing. It's a true statement of fact for those of us 40+. Why not embrace it? Even after 20 years of doing one thing and thinking I had "arrived", there was an itch inside of me telling me I had farther to go, new mountains to climb, uncomfortable changes to make and some ser…

Had anyone tried unplugging 2020 and plugging it back in again? Ha! This year has been a bit of a doozy already. Maybe a lot of Mercury In Retrograde? Or maybe it's personal and not cosmic.

Leveling UP By Looking In is a talk that Grace gave to business owners looking to move past hurdles in business.

She feels no fear. With her as the loudest voice, an…

You know what they say: We're only as sick as our secrets. Whatever you are not acknowledging is in control of you. We all tell lies. Big ones, little ones, white ones. But WHY do we lie? Especially to ourselves? What does it say about the way we feel about ourselves and our need to meet others' expectations of us? We can't live authentically if we…

The holidays are for drinking too much. Right?! This was the story I told myself for YEARS. This year, I'm doing the holidays differently now that I'm 10 months Sober Curious but it doesn't mean my cravings have ended.
