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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
Listen to these 3 variations on a theme: “That piano, in the living room, has been sitting untouched for months. I’m gonna start playing again.” “I’ll pick up piano again when my schedule is less busy and I have more time to practice” “Starting January 1st, I promise to play the piano for one hour, […]

We often coach clients on how to manage their time and already hectic schedules over the holidays, but it requires taking an honest look at your current relationship to time. First, let’s breakdown […]
As much as I’m always working on you, you should know, I am also working on myself too. And, just in time! Recently, something happened that had me thinking it was a good time to put my own “Baby Lauren” trait in a time out: What, you wonder? My kids hit the age where they’re […]
Now here’s a line I’m sure you’ve heard (or said) before: “If it weren’t for people, I’d get a lot more done.” In our heads, that statement seems pretty sound, but how about how miserly, mischievous, and borderline-mean it actually is?

As the holiday season enters its final, hectic stretch, you may be feeling in need of a little therapy. It can be a stressful time and may require a little coaching to get you back on track. But what exactly is the difference between therapy and life coaching? As a coach, I am frequently asked […]
