Manifesting [man-uh-fest-ing] verb – the act of causing something or bringing a specific result to fruition by thinking and feeling it in a certain way. Many people roll their eyes at the notion. Manifesting sounds an awful lot like new-age mysticism, or what I like to call “woo woo” spirituality. I am not in the […]
Boo! It’s your vice knocking. It’s that thing you know you shouldn’t be doing, but still are. You wish it would go away but it persists to haunt you. It follows you around and sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Or, rather, when you most expect it – when you’re busy running […]
PEOPLE-PLEASERS ARE MARTYRS TO NICENESS! I find that most people are more willing to own up to the name “martyr” than “people-pleaser,” though the two are kissing cousins. Martyrdom is a noble little hat to wear, and a lot of my clients come to coaching with it clutched ruefully in their hands. Their priorities are […]
Have you ever been awed by someone’s unflinching commitment to a cause? Gotten goosebumps from a poignant mission statement? A person who has found and followed their true mission is a brilliant sight to behold – they move mountains, they make magic, they motivate even when the going gets tough. They are changed to the […]
Are you moping around the office this week, shaking sand out of your purse from Labor Day weekend? After a holiday, a vacation or a long summer of fun and adventure, it’s not unusual to feel a little reluctant to buckle down and kick back into gear at your job. But what if that feeling […]
Anyone who has spent time with me recently may have noticed a few errant flecks of color under my fingernails, or a smudge of dried paint on my sleeve. This is par for the course now that I have added “painter” and “artist” to the list of things I love to be! I paint nearly […]
“I always wanted to learn the guitar. Maybe THIS summer.” Or…. maybe not. It’s a shame how quickly we dismiss our heartfelt dreams and relegate them to the “someday” bucket list. Why is that? We have many reasonable-sounding excuses. Work is hectic, there’s never enough time, the kids, the spouse, etc. Reasonable, sure. But not […]
SECRETS KILL RELATIONSHIPS. I’m not just talking about intimate relationships between married couples and partners; I’m talking about all relationships. The hyperconnectivity and mass exposure of our current world has ironically left us isolated from each other and unable to maintain real, authentic connections, and secrets about who we are and who we want people […]
IMAGINE IF YOU LIVED YOUR WHOLE LIFE ON A BOAT. Think Noah’s ark! And just as Noah was in charge of filling his ark with animals, you would be in charge of curating the crew on yours. Who would you invite to weather the storm with you? How would they work together in close quarters? You’d want […]

For most of us, the subject of TIME is still a very abstract concept. We all know we could be managing our time more effectively, but no amount of list-making or fancy iPhone apps has changed the way we feel about our time – be it stressed, sad, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled. There is no quick […]
The most important thing to consider before leaping into a new job, investment, company or any business venture, is YOU. What’s your relationship to money? What are your financial philosophies? What did your parents teach you, what did you learn or not learn along the way? We all have theories about money – it’s so […]
