Have you ever found yourself blaming your lateness on someone else’s location? I seriously said to myself, as I was running late to an appointment, “does she realize she lives on Tenth Avenue? That is far from the subway!” If you follow the internal logic in my mind at that moment, it implies that it […]
Boo! It’s your vice knocking. It’s that thing you know you shouldn’t be doing, but still are. You wish it would go away but it persists to haunt you. It follows you around and sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Or, rather, when you most expect it – when you’re busy running […]
I love working with creatives! As a life coach, it allows me to get creative in MY approach to coaching those with unconventional careers and dreams. Artists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs, career-shifters, rain makers…People who make things happen that have never happened before, who are trying to create something out of nothing!

Psst. Can we tell you our secrets? Yup, we actually think it’s the key to happiness. And we’ve practiced a lot here at Handel, in order to prove it true. I just sent an email to three friends I am seeing this weekend to say that my acne is acting up more than usual and […]

I’ve got a few good friends whom I value deeply and scores of others: extended family and warm acquaintances for whom […]
Laurie Dhue was at the height of her career. She was a successful news anchor appearing on several networks and even had her own show. Meanwhile, she was killing herself with alcohol and drugs. She masterfully protected her addiction, and hid it well, fooling everyone by being at the top of her career while at […]
Guess what? You have a dark side. Everyone has a dark side. And that dark side is talking to you and filling your head with nasty, mean, dark thoughts on a daily basis. Are you surprised? Most people are. Whenever I mention this to clients, I get the same response, “Huh? Whatta you mean? Me? […]
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 […]
Spirituality is an area of life we at the Handel Group® ask all clients to address. We don’t teach religion or promote any particular path, but spirituality has to factor in for any human being trying to better his or her life. I recommend yoga and meditation to most of my coaching clients. In fact, I […]
Today I want to talk about love. True, deep, lasting, juicy love takes place between two people who actually know each other, through and through. I know this seems obvious but people tend to deny it. How can you feel truly loved if you aren’t “being yourself?” It’s simple; you can’t. Deep and lasting love […]
