For as long as I could remember, I never believed I could have it all. I really believed that anyone who said they could have it “all,” you know, a happy husband, kids, AND a big career, was either a liar, a faker or a skipper of sleep. And, since I was never going to […]

by Mark Hyman, MD 9-time NY Times Best-Selling Author and Leader in Functional Medicine We all have heard of the mind-body effect that says suggestions, desires, beliefs, expectations and fears influence what people experience. We all know that thoughts and feelings affect our health. And, we all know that stress is bad for us. I […]

I don’t know about you (cough, cough), but, if I waited for the day I felt like eating kale, going to the gym, jumping my man (even though, he’s cute) or writing (even though, it’s my passion), well, I’d be hefty, my husband, celibate; and, my first TV show, never would have aired. Truly, I’d […]

I loved and loathed my summers growing up on the east coast. Why? Oh, that’s easy: bathing suits. Every Memorial Day weekend, the pool we belonged to would open up for the summer and I’d put on my one-piece Speedo and happily go play. That was until, I turned eleven and well, I came to […]

Are you one of those people who incessantly struggles with time and can’t manage your day gracefully no matter how hard you try? Trust me, I understand all too well how, no matter what, something always seems to come up or pull you in (aka Facebook, emails, google chats, snapchats, vlogs, blogs, Norma Kamali pop […]

What if your thoughts create your reality?  And, if you’re like me, a constant whirling dervish of ideas, wisdoms and worries, uh oh, is right. In fact, my mind has even got an opinion first thing in the morning. It seems, even after a decent night sleep of seven hours or more, it thinks I […]

Up until 8 years ago, I was one of those people who struggled with their weight their entire life. I was a yoyo, up and down. I’d put on weight, lose it, and then put it back on. I read a ton of diet books and dabbled in each diet/exercise program, but inevitably, I’d cheat, […]

What’s a freak flag? There really are things about you, traits, mannerisms, a style, which are wholly “you.” Those idiosyncrasies, which are unique to you, possibly irksome to others, are your freak flag. Most of us walk around either tripping on our own freak flag or hiding it. Though, I am thinking, there really is […]

Artist and Fabric Designer, Amy Butler, worked with Senior Coach Hildie because she had a dream and wanted help making it happen. Here is her story in her own words … I had a dream for more abundance in my life and career. I envisioned every aspect of my studio life increasing with prosperity. I […]

These days, marriages, long term partnerships, whether business or familial, typically end. If, however, they do manage to last, most are pretty uninspired or, at best, a slight upgrade of our parents’ relationship. For example, if our parents never touched publicly, we, on the other hand, might hold hands with our partners. Or if our […]

Have you ever been demoted, fired or let go from a job? I have. At the time, I had been doing legal work at an impressive, innovative company. I got paid well, my colleagues were nice, and when I described what I did to other people I put a pleasant spin on things without going […]

Did you just roll your eyes at the title? Or, better yet, did you just Google-search me to see who the heck am I that I can be so arrogant as to not only state that my husband wouldn’t cheat on me, but to put it in print? I mean how could I be so […]
