I don’t know about you (cough, cough), but to be perfectly honest, if I sat around waiting for the day I actually want to eat kale, exercise, jump my husband, or even write (which is my passion) — I’d be fat, my husband would be bitter, and I never would have created and sold my […]
For a long time, I thought my husband was fully responsible for my orgasm. That it was his job to make me feel good. And, even though my husband is a good guy, was up for anything, and wanted to please me, my way of thinking (see: entitled) was getting in the way of us […]
Like all big decisions, a job change or career shift requires tact and integrity. But by the time people are ready to leave a job they have disliked for a long time, they don’t always do it gracefully. The time spent gathering negative evidence about the job (difficult boss, crazy schedule, etc) has inevitably worsened […]
Often I teach a concept called “love is a verb.” My definition of love is to care about the other person’s experience as deeply as you care about your own: how they are feeling, how your actions are impacting them, and what you can do to ensure they feel safe, connected, and loved by you. […]
As noted thinker Simon Sinek teaches, the “why” is everything. Humans are undeniably moved by certain things – and it’s a unique phenomena for each of us. When I ask myself why I design family time, the answer is easy. I love the experience of togetherness. I love deeply knowing my husband and my kids […]
I teach all my clients to dream—to be bold and go after what they really want in their lives. I’m not talking about having one or two dreams. I ask people to create dreams in all areas of their lives. Inevitably, there is one issue that arises when going after a dream: failure. To quote […]
I believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. And, I mean ALL. From health to love, to money to community, to fun and adventure to spirituality, etc. But, obviously, some areas get a little more attention than others: like love, career and money. While others, like FUN AND ADVENTURE (which includes LEARNING, […]
Stop me if you heard this story before (or read it in Discover Magazine!): “Darwin and Freud walk into a bar. Meanwhile, two alcoholic mice — a mother and her son — are sitting across from them on two bar stools, lapping gin from two thimbles. The mother mouse looks up and says, “Hey, geniuses, […]
I write about all sorts of things that come up in my coaching – love, relationships, time management, character traits… but today I want to address a subject that is possibly THE most important concern (or should be) for me, my family, and my community: The state of your body during your time on the […]
Press pause for a moment … on your work deadlines, on your kid’s school or summer schedules, on your holiday plans, on whatever device is ringing and buzzing. I have an important question for you. How is your love life going lately? How’s your heart? If you’re single, do you find that you’re not happy […]
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 often unable to maintain real, authentic connections. And the secrets we carry about who we are and […]
Did you ever notice that who you are often changes depending on who you’re with? Whether it’s with your CEO, your direct reports, your partner, your kids, your subordinates, the opposite sex, or a waiter?
