Every month, I share the books, quotes, and resources that have been stirring something in me—the same ones I find myself passing along to clients again and again. These aren’t just feel-good recommendations. They’re the tools that actually shift the way we think, lead, and live.

Happy Holidays to you and those you love. I hope you're able to be calm and cozy, and get some rest.

Thank you for a wonderful year of being curious about how to put yourself first, prioritizing your well-being, and becoming more aligned with what lights you up....and being WILLING to feel everythi...

 Why is it easier to disappoint yourself than someone else? 

Take a moment with this question. Journal your thoughts, share them with a trusted friend, mentor or therapist - or simply sit with it in quiet reflection.

And if this question feels like it touches the heart of your struggle, let's exp...

When Success Feels Heavy

You’re the woman who gets things done. People look to you for answers, solutions, and leadership. You’re proud of what you’ve accomplished—and you should be. But there’s this weight you carry that no one seems to notice.

It’s the weight of keeping it all together, chasing ...

Today, I voted.

I voted for Kamala Harris.

As a leadership coach, I stand behind her values-driven and courageous approach to leadership. I believe our democracy has a better chance of flourishing in her hands.

As a woman, I voted for the right to decide what happens to MY body, and I...

uncertentyWhen you feel uncertain, don't know what decision to make and things feel stressful, PAUSE.

I'm always supporting my clients through moments of uncertainty. I wanted to share some strategies with you so you can feel more even-keeled and less exhausted by life's push and pull.

At the beginning of August, I took some time to reflect on the first half of the year. This Louisa May Alcott quote came to mind:

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

January through June have been about learning how to sail my business ship with the brilliant Kim...

Last week I wrote about putting myself on a pedestal to counteract my feelings of inadequacy. I shared that my magic trick, which isn't magic at all, is the willingness to be myself when I think I'm not going to fit in, be liked, or judged. You can read it here.

I want to take this idea furth...

We often talk about the dangers of putting other people on pedestals because they are human and will inevitably fail or let us down. Being let down isn't a bad thing, it's a normal thing, especially when we're in the habit of deciding someone is superior to us, therefore, inadvertently labeling o...

Two years ago TODAY I stumbled upon the sweetest little surprise.

I decided to buy a house in a town that I'd spent 24 hours in.

If you think you need to do more, have a better plan, be more daring/savvy/connected etc., to get what you want, let my story inspire you to think otherwise. Letti...

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. You’ll notice that helping...

What have I been up to?

A whole lot of relaxing.

I have pottered around the house and completed twenty small projects. Things like organizing Preston's closet space to make way for his shoe collection, sorting Austin's toys, hanging a picture that has been sat on his bedroom floor for three ...
