It’s nearing the end of January, and I have one question for you: how are those New Year’s resolutions going? You know – the ones that sounded like this: I’m going to lose weight. Eat healthy. Quit smoking. Save money. Be better. Blah blah blah. Though (obviously) I’m a big proponent of self care and […]

Imagine this. You’ve decided that this is the year to make your relationship the best it can be. You schedule special, weekly date nights with your S.O. (which yes, includes a plan for mind-blowing sex). And then, lo and behold … you do it! Now ask yourself this—what do you feel? Are you terribly  disappointed […]

Here’s the thing: 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 what I call your “freak flag.” Most of us walk around either tripping on our own freak flag or hiding it. Though, I am thinking, there […]

Ever find yourself talking about your life as if you have no say over it?  Especially in an area in which you are not particularly proud? Whether it’s your (and my) aging body, your job, your home life, or your finances, we speak about ourselves and our lives like we’re reporting on the weather. We […]

I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was.   – Muhammad Ali One of the biggest misconceptions I run into—and after twenty years of coaching, you can imagine, I’ve bumped into quite a few—is that humility is wholly honorable. No, you didn’t misread that––I typed “misconceptions.” Just hear (or heed!) […]

Say you’re sitting at a table with your four closest friends. Each one of you makes a New Year’s resolution—to lose weight, spend less, travel more … etc. But guess how many of you will keep that resolution?  According to research, just ONE of you will keep the resolution. Ouch. So what’s the catch? How […]

Not feeling so happy this holiday? You’re not the only one. Many people report feeling lonely or stressed this time of year. So if you’re looking for meaning, consider re-visiting something a little out of the mainstream—take a look at the rituals you have in place. Much of our holidays time involves participating in rituals we […]

Allow me to blow my own horn. I’ve acted as Co-President and President of HG Life for 12 years. In that time, I’ve coached thousands individuals and couples. I’ve had six-figure sales years. I’ve been quoted in dozens of articles and appeared on TV. I know I’ve fixed hundreds of lives and changed toxic relationships […]

We all know that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. No matter how much we love our parents or even how much we’ve run from them, they provided the basic building blocks. And, even though we all at some point in our lives giggle (or choke) at how we’re inevitably turning into or […]

“What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?” – Phil Conners, Groundhog Day As co-founder of HG and a life coach for over 20 years, the truth behind Groundhog Day resonates with me to my core. Why? Not just […]

Which of the following best describes your love life? a. Witchy: You don’t whistle while you work, you snicker as you swipe b. Ghosted: You’re still BOO hooing over the one that got away… in high school c. Ghoulish: You tell your friends you can’t go out as you already have plans (uh, with your […]

At HG we believe we humans should occupy our bodies in a state of power, grace, and self-love. Does this mean we all look like cover models? No. Does this mean it’s OK if we’ve got a little extra “winter weight” (in the fall!) because society is so obsessed with looks? Nope, not that either. […]
