For a lot of us, this Christmas and New Year’s will be filled with both goodness and grief, and it can be hard to hold such different emotions at the same time. We’re all tired and ready for things to return to some kind of new normal, but it’s not there quite yet. In the meantime, I’m balancing all of my feelings – both light and heavy – and I wan…

Annual events always highlight how much you’ve changed from one year to the next. You know, those special days like New Year’s Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving … and the annual boob smash ;-) When I went in for my mammogram last year, I found the facility had made a change for the worse, and I did something that I wouldn’t have done the year before – o…

Many years ago, someone gave me a Gratitude Journal. At first, I didn’t fully understand what it was for or what to do, but I went on and gave it a try.

When I had a corporate job, there were days that I worked from 7 a.m. to midnight for months. I accumulated time off, but my boss discouraged using it – a vicious cycle, and I was the fastest hamster on that Wheel of Insanity. Now I know better and have my own business, yet I can still be worn down by beliefs that cause me to doubt myself and feel …

How do you want to be remembered? For making the most money? Paying all your bills on time? Making partner faster than anyone else? Driving the nicest car? Or for something different…?

For my entire life, I’ve been told that I am too much: too loud, too big, too smart, too bossy, too mouthy, too blonde, too freckly. It hurt so badly that I started wanting to be smaller – physically and figuratively. But I’m just not a small person… I have a BIG personality! I have a BIG body! I have BIG energy! I have a BIG light about me! And my…

In the 7+ years that I’ve been a life coach, I’ve found one thing to be absolutely true – if you change the inside, the outside will follow.

If judging were a full-time job, we would alllllll be billionaires. But being judgmental doesn’t pay; it costs you, instead.

For a more p…

When I look back, I see that everything good that’s ever come to me has been a result of being courageous, and with that courage was its sidekick, vulnerability.

Every day, I think about freedom: freedom from my body, freedom from negative thoughts, freedom from the sadness I feel about myself at times, freedom from uncomfortable clothes and shoes, freedom from self-violence… …freedom to be who I am right now, in this minute, without feeling that I have to change in order to be accepted.

Confidence is at the core of how we move through the world, whether we are lacking it or have it by the truckload. It’s something we wear every day and use to make every decision.

When you invest in yourself – whether you’re investing time, attention, energy, or all three – the payback is immeasurable.

You can never go wrong with investing in yourself. Listen in for how my ed…

To finish out this month’s theme of New Year, Same You, I want to talk about how we get in our own way. We can be our biggest critic, which means we can also be our biggest obstacle. I want each of us to become our biggest cheerleader and supporter! To do that, we have to understand how we are blocking our energy, power, desires, and blessings. Lis…

So, I’ve talked about letting go of expectations, understanding what we want and what’s holding us back, and how we talk to ourselves … now it’s time to show up! Showing up sounds easy, but sometimes it’s not. We often jump through a lot of hoops – coaching ourselves into it and even sometimes white-knuckling it – to make an appearance. Showing up …

Last week, I talked about smashing the “new year, new you” drum that’s beating every January and beginning to think about what you want. This week, I’m asking: What do you want?

I recently saw something like: “It’s easy to be critical, try being complimentary.” Wow! How true, and it seems so easy! But it’s not always easy.

Let’s…

We create rules for ourselves that are not necessarily true. A lot of times, our rules (or stories or beliefs) were created when we were younger, when we had no idea that they were untrue or twisted. Our rules could be based on other people’s values, beliefs, desires, or even their jokes. Unverified rules ramble around our minds, running our lives …
