Have you ever lied about money? I sure have. Now, I’m a funny little liar. I never had a secret credit card. I never hid a bag of new clothes under the bed. Instead, my special brand of subterfuge went something like this… It was August. As in, the end-of-summer sales were on. One day, […]
I first came to Handel Group as a client. I needed some work. But, mind you, not for me…for my spouse. Hard as I tried, after ten years of marriage, my husband still sucked at communication and intimacy. And if I didn’t do something about it, I don’t think the marriage would have lasted. I […]
I wish I could tell you that the soul (purposeful typo) reason my three children (ages 10, 15, and 16) are environmentally conscious is because of me. But, that would be a lie. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m being modest. Far from it. If you knew me, you’d know that […]
For such a dark and moody lot, we’re sure not wise to how often we go dark, not to mention how little a clue we have as to where our (inner) light switch is. What’s up with that? You might have heard the stats: According to science, the average human has about 12,000 to 60,000 […]
The other day I received the text, “Your kids are awesome! I’ve gotta study your parenting.” Who, me? My kids?! What a compliment! It came from one of my oldest friends after my three kids (ages 16, 14, and 3) went over to meet her one-year-old. My first reaction was to give all the credit […]
If you listened to my latest interview on Impact Theory, you certainly got a taste of my mind, method, and mouth. I had a blast and got to share some of my all time favorite one liners in the hopes that they not only stick upon impact, but that they cause lasting change. Here’s one […]
Raise your hand if your family is perfect. Exactly. Almost no one will raise their hand for that because your family has history! Years and years of good times, bad times, sister fights, brother bothers, marriage troubles, in-law annoyances, and so on. Although you more than likely love each other, whether you deeply like each […]
Warning: Take heed. The content of this blog is about sex and may be offensive to some. It is not our intent. If you don’t want to read about sex and don’t find it punny in the slightest, please go no further. I’ve got a few questions for you. Consider it a POP (or better […]
By now, you’ve more than likely read enough of our blogs, blurbs, and what have yous to know that we like to give names to our less-than-attractive traits. From “mean martyrf*&cker”, to “sweet and sour chicken”, to “squeaker-of-the-house”, clearly, I have befriended, named, and leashed (for the most part!) some of my most ghastly traits. […]
One morning, it was about 8:30 on a very cloudy Saturday morning in New York City and I was out for a jog. I came upon a little girl, about three years old, entering an empty playground with her father. She had a funny look on her face as she looked around and it got […]
You know those times when you occasionally find yourself bitching that if you had really known your spouse was stingy with his freaking feelings (instead of warm, passionate and 90% shirtless like Jamie Fraser from Netflix’s Outlander), you might never have married him? Even if, yes, you (sorta) realize Jamie is not real? What’s up […]
This is a no-brainer: When you’re fearful of money, all of your financial decisions come from a place of fear. But you may already be thinking, “Fear of money? That’s not me!” I beg to disagree. If you’ve ever avoided looking at your bank account, if you’ve ever panicked about your finances, if you’ve been […]
