I was jogging around 8:30am on a very cloudy Saturday morning and I observed a girl of about three years old entering an empty playground with her father. She had kind of a funny look on her face and it got me wondering. What was she thinking? I came up with several theories:– Where […]
I have a great life, but I am always at work on something, because if you aren’t growing, you’re atrophying. And if you aren’t admitting you can be a nut sometimes, you aren’t telling the truth! A few months back, I decided I was ready to stop being such a nut on Mondays. The […]
There is something that I have really NOT wanted to talk about lately. You see, about three years ago a dream was born. Let me explain. I’ve ALWAYS dreamed of teaching people how to tell the truth and deal with hard stuff. I am passionate about peace in their lives, and I see this as […]

Years ago, when I first came to the Handel Group® as a client, I got the whole methodology laid out for me, and I digested it all, chunk by life-changing chunk. Now, as a Co-President in the company and a Senior Coach, I teach others our method. I thought I knew all there was to […]
I’ve been thinking about stuff. I, like you, have many times thought stuff would make me happy – and that a lack of stuff was what was making me unhappy. I don’t mean just physical things like a house or clothing, but also stuff like people, a great husband, a happy child and even stuff like […]
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? […]
Today I want to tell you a parenting story. If you don’t have kids, please read as someone’s child or as a potential, future parent. I am a mother of two elementary-aged kids I am raising in New York City. Now, I know one of the most important parenting rules is: don’t project yourself onto your child. […]
I teach all my clients to dare 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 get clients to create dreams in all areas of their lives. Inevitably, there is one issue that arises when going after a dream: […]
