When I was in grade school, I came to the conclusion that there were two types of people in the world: lucky people and unlucky people.  You were either rich or poor. Fat or thin. Attractive or ugly. Talented or untalented. You were either in one camp or the other.  There was no in between. […]

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?

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 […]

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 […]
