What are you doing excessively in your life that you know is bad for you? Is it alcohol? Overeating? Smoking cigarettes? We all have a dark side and it shows up through our vices. What vice is your little voice talking to you about right now? That is the vice you should consider taking down […]
It feels so good, is it really so bad? I think it’s too simple to say: “Judging is wrong” or “I am trying to be less judgmental.” I hear it in yoga and spiritual circles all time, we are quieting our minds to stop all the ceaseless judging. But I want to take a deeper […]
Bliss Broyard published an article in ELLE Magazine about her experience coaching with me. I found it fascinating that the most poignant take away, and hence her title was “Don’t Let Your Emotions Make You Their B*#ch.” Yup, much to my 9-year old daughter’s dismay, I said it. How I ask clients to deal with their […]
As you probably know, I am coaching Mastin on his love and design of his dream body. What a great test case; he is one stubborn cookie! I have gotten in trouble in the past on this blog for my fixation on controlling the foods people eat. I have been accused of having and projecting […]
Greetings from an awesome summer time! This is my first summer living in my new house on the lake, and I’ve been relishing afternoons on the water and time in the sun (with sunscreen, of course!). It’s from a place of pride and self-love that I can recall – many years and 130 pounds ago […]
I think I’m a pretty positive person, but turns out, I spend a lot of my day disagreeing with things. I don’t like how my body feels in the morning. Why are my kids not up and dressed yet? Why can’t I find that blender part? Why are people talking so loud? Why does my […]
From time to time, we hear the criticism that we are too negative. Oh man, we are working on always delivering our tough truths with grace and love. We pride ourselves on having been through it ourselves and thus relating and caring deeply about our individual clients. But sometimes we do get excited and enjoy […]
Everyone has a list of wonderful things they want to accomplish: faraway places to see, books to write, mountains to climb. Some people call it a bucket list or a wish list, but I call it a dream list. There is something deep and beautiful about having a serious list, because it reveals the […]
A few years ago, when I was fat, I thought the only real issue in my life was that I couldn’t lose weight. And at the time, I used every excuse for why I was overweight: I had a bad metabolism, it ran in my family, I had hormone problems, etc. The truth was, I […]
You say you want love. Seemingly, you are searching hard for it. Your friends would all nod their heads in agreement that you are doing the right things, or, at the very least, complaining loudly about it and, therefore, must care. Alas, to no avail, because you have nothing but proof that there IS indeed […]
Usually I coach you to make yourself scared, because we know how cool it is to go up against fear and win, but today I am going a little new-agey on you and tell you to make yourself sacred. In other words, you are the source of your own experiences. Too often we erroneously think our […]
