This is a little hard to come out and admit, but for many years I was in an abusive relationship. My partner was cruel, demanding and overwhelming. I was constantly doing and doing but never getting anything in return. I was anxious. There was tons of drama. I could never get enough of what I […]
Warning: R-rated content. Ever wonder why no matter how many mean things your mother said to you when you were a kid (or yesterday), you remember only a select few? Bet you think it’s because, out of the gazillion mean things she said, the particular ones you pocketed were her greatest hits. Maybe…m Or, ever […]
I didn’t come to the Handel Group to be a coach. I came, like many of the clients with whom I now work, because I needed help with my career. I had just left my big-firm job to work as a part-time, in-house lawyer for a Fortune 500 company. This was the job that I […]
Still wondering how to win friends and influence people? We’ve been studying it for years and it’s easier (and in some ways trickier) than you may think! I know I am still learning myself. Below are 5 steps for how to ace any conversation with your boss, or anyone else you want to impress or […]
If you have been reading my blogs over the past few years, you know that I’m a juggler of addictions. In my 30s, I was obese and used food as an escape until I got a HG Life Coach and learned how to put a leash on my vices, create dreams in my life and […]
I’ve heard great reports from participants of the 4-week telecourse, Design Your Health, with my favorite life coaches at the Handel Group. Most of the participants had already taken my 10-Day Detox Challenge and had experienced amazing results. They felt good and were inspired to accomplish their health goals, but they were also wise enough […]
A few months ago, my friend Tammi (yes, I have one!) invited me to come lead a workshop at “Campowerment,” a wildly fun, transformational weekend sleepaway camp for women that Tammi didn’t just dream up, she actually walked away from her 34-year, Emmy-award winning producer gig to make happen. Of course I said, “no.” Okay, […]
We at the Handel Group believe in “designing your life” and the main tools we use are promises and consequences. From scientific research, we know that neurons that fire together, wire together. As kids, we start to make certain associations (for example: candy tastes good) and then life gets designed for us by the hard-wiring […]
I have clients come to me all the time searching for love. Everyone wants to fall in love. Everyone wants a great love story. If you are single and reading this right now and wanting to find the one: you are not alone. As a matter of fact, the #1 question searched on Google at […]
I don’t know about you (cough, cough), but to be perfectly honest, if I was waiting for the day I want to eat kale, exercise, jump my husband, or even write (which is my passion), I’d be fat, my husband would be bitter, I’d never have created and sold my first TV show and I’d truly […]
This blog is for people who struggle with time. You probably ask yourself: WHY DO I STRUGGLE SO MUCH WITH TIME MANAGEMENT? Because you don’t realize you are in a relationship with time and right now you are allowing that relationship to be dysfunctional. Time is one of the most important relationships in your life. In fact, […]
For years, I worked 12-hour days in a cluttered, dark, ugly, poorly organized home office. I said I didn’t care and I really believed it. And, I wish I could tell you that it was my own genius or courage that caused me to care (or fine, to actually clean), but it wasn’t. It was a combination of […]
