Do you ever walk away from a conversation or meeting thinking, "What the hell is the matter with me? Why on earth did I say that?"

The thought plagues you, churning away like it's ground hog day. You've got pressure in your chest and you start to sweat the moment you remember the...

We've all been there. Change is in the air and you're hoping it slides right on by and somehow forgets its plan for you so you don't have to deal with that big knot in your stomach.

Gosh darn it change. Again, really?, you think to yourself.

Whether it's knowing you need to...

"I don't know what I think about the patriarchy. I want to discuss it with you," I said to my friend last week.

While I agree that our system is broken and outdated in some areas - no standard, paid parental leave, expensive childcare, wage inequity - I also don't want to rail...

My kid isn't my life.

My husband isn't my life.

They can't be. They're not supposed to be.

Let's be honest, when you're alone, and I'm not just talking about when you do a Target run and you're in heaven that nobody's bugging you, do you feel a bit anxious because you...

You think you need fixing because when something goes wrong, doesn't live up to your expectations, or you fall short of your own goals, you assume the problem is you.

You believe there is a deficiency in you and you wrap your identity around that idea.

I'm here to tell you...

I watched this reel and its message has stuck with me.

The main message is, 'Why do we tell women they need fixing when what we need to fix is the system'.

Fixing things like pay equity, paid leave for child-rearing, having more flexibility in our schedules, and...

I wholeheartedly believe that when I create something it’s for me first—create being the operative word. I wrote my book for myself and to take on a goal I have had for more than two decades.

I write to know myself better, to retrace my story, to learn, and to heal....

I hear my clients share these beliefs and it keeps them stuck and overwhelmed.

1. I don't like to brag about myself.

2. My worth is based on how productive I am.

This is a fun blog to write.

For my son's 8th birthday we bought a plane ticket for him to fly to Texas, by himself, to see Preston's family. He leaves in two weeks and will be there for a week.
