Clutter costs you more than you might think.

In fact, there’s an undertow to clutter, pulling you away from […]
In Part 1 of this two-part blog series, you met my former client, Amy, whose runaway brain just about drove her over a cliff. She came into coaching to learn to stop and reverse her negative self-talk. Self-talk is your inner dialogue, the thoughts you think to yourself all day long. It’s a lot of […]
“I can’t help it, I feel like a fat, lazy cow,” Amy told me as we began our first coaching session. “No matter how determined I am to be more disciplined, I keep blowing it.” Despite the fact that she runs her own million-dollar business with devoted employees and has successfully raised a child and […]

The author was associating self-love with narcissism, which is a serious psychological disorder with very little chance of recovery. It’s a […]
I’m starting to recognize a pattern. Every year, it seems, I spin out of the chaotically wonderful Christmas season and fly forward, face first, into February. January passes in a blur—annually. Does that happen to you? Although I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions, (see my previous post here), January does provide a […]
Have you ever had a flat tire? You are blissfully driving along until, all of a sudden, you hear that horrible ka-flunk, ka-flunk, ka-flunk sound. Oh no. Please don’t let it be a flat tire. Please, please, please… Dang it! That’s it. The day is officially screwed up, and until this thing is fixed, you’re […]
If you’re searching for how to live your best life now, or how to become the best version of yourself, you’re in good company. Those phrases are popping up everywhere in Google searches, self-help books, and ads flying across social media. While I don’t have any idea how these phrases became so trendy so fast, […]
