Are you the doormat on the doorstep of your dream?
I was a doormat. There. I said it. Out loud. I was sitting on the doorstep of my dream, flattened by fear and letting the little voices of doubt, shame, guilt, fear, criticism, and judgement keep me from reaching up, turning the handle on the door of my dream, and opening the door to see […]
Scared Blind
I had the stye from hell. It was so big and annoying. It wouldn’t go away. I had it for a whole month and now it’s finally diminished enough to say it’s healed up. My eyelid was so swollen I could hardly see for a couple days. The eye doctor said I might have to […]
Integrity: It’s a Choice, And That Sucks
Don’t you just wish people would stand by their word? Personally, I’d like to believe it’s just a given, and as certain as night follows day, people will act in integrity all the time across all situations. Unfortunately that’s just not the case. Maybe those people who don’t stand by their word are folks closest […]

Who Wants To Be A Thought Leader Anyway?
Last week, Lynn Baldwin-Rhoades of Power Chicks, asked me a few questions about thought leaders, intuition and how thought leaders are just PR-created forces in the marketplace. What do you think? Here’s what I think: Q: As a culture, we’re becoming increasingly tuned into the natural strengths of that women bring to leadership. But I […]
Are You Still making Yourself Wrong Because They May Be Right?
I’ve been holding myself back. Yep. Playing small. Letting my fear of what people will think rule my business. I have been watching myself shrink more and more as I have made bigger and bigger investments in myself, my business, and as I have gotten more clear about who I am and what I’m […]
Why Therapy & Coaching Don’t Work (sometimes)
Why Am I Not Getting Better? There’s A Reason Why Therapy & Coaching Don’t Work (sometimes) what the heck is it? I was thinking on my run today that we humans are motivated by 2 main forces: love and fear, or put another way: possibility and pain. Most people get a therapist or coach or […]
