I get really psyched about a goal then lose momentum fairly quickly. Why does that happen and what can I do about that? Human beings are pretty funny (as in peculiar as well as ha-ha) creatures. We often crave what we fear, and we also fear what we crave. What I find with both myself… Read more »

Ending the Recovering Good Girl Syndrome (RGGS)
I see the RGGS wherever I go, and hear it from almost every female I know, but most of all I see it in myself. It’s the dynamic tension between this amazing powerful knowing in a woman who hungers for greatness and the other aspect of self who is afraid of making waves, hurting feelings,… Read more »
How Learning to Love Myself Rocked My World
My eating disorder wasn’t killing me but the chronic focus on self-loathing was killing my spirit. At 26, I had a spiritual awakening that changed my life.

“Life is a tad nutty and a bit insane if you’re doing it right”
I was on a coaching session with a client (I got permission to share this) and we were celebrating with “Woo-Hoo’s” and lots of hooting and hollering about the new position she was just offered, and her delight and excitement of this amazing opportunity. Not less than a moment later, she paused and said, “Wow,… Read more »

Take Your Vitamin F Daily!
About a month ago, I connected with a new colleague who is quickly becoming a good friend. She embodies what I call “Vitamin F (fun).” She’s just totally fun to be with and no matter how mundane the action may be, like grabbing a soup at Pret a Manger, it somehow becomes an adventure where… Read more »

Hi Everyone, I’m really excited about 2012. I’ve spoken to many people and they too are very excited about this New Year; since last year, was quite a doozie!

Tis the season to be…..? You Decide!
It is so easy to be affected by our outside world, whether it’s the craziness of having to do last-minute shopping for the holidays, concern around finances, dreading the “Pink Elephant in the living room,” type of family events. Even all the joyful aspects of the holidays, connecting with people you care about, socializing etc…. Read more »
