A Great Way to Sabotage Your Self-Care

A Great Way to Sabotage Your Self-Care

Last week, I was in San Francisco celebrating the Christmas holiday with my husband and his fabulous family. My schedule had been such, that I hadn’t had a day off in over 20 days, and due to commitments, I’d been working 12+ hour days – so that I COULD take a...

How I Let Another Woman Steal My Identity

Not all that long ago, I would never have dreamed of posting a photo of myself here in some off-the-wall rainbow colored wig. (Hey, I’m a life coach – and that’s SERIOUS business, right?) But here’s the true untold Hollywood story… Humor, for me, has...

Why Stillness is the New Cool

Do you think busyness is cool? If so, I totally get it. We live in a culture that preaches that our productivity and achievements define our value. We all want to be valued, don’t we? It feels good. But between you and me, how does all that non-stop hustling,...
