Because You Said “Yes”

There Is No Cure For Being Human

Over my 18+ years in the field of psychotherapy, I often felt – and believed – that MOST (not all) cases of depression and anxiety were at their core energetic blockages and spiritual “issues”, not necessarily biochemical. I still think that, perhaps even more so nowadays. ***Requisite Disclaimer*** If you are on medications DO NOT […]

Are You Broken Yet?

I was listening to Air1 radio station the other day. I love most of the songs and the fact that the music is sometimes hard rock or rap but has a positive message. The DJ was talking about being “broken”. He was talking about how people often think of themselves as broken, as less than, […]

Quantum Leaps Are Bullshit…or are they?

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. “Quantum Leaps” are one of the coaching industry’s biggest marketing myths.

Here’s how to know if […]

How to Choose In order to Save Your Life (and Business!) part 2

In last week’s article I shared with you how the little voices of fear, doubt, shame, guilt, criticism, judgement, etc. are typically the ones making your decisions for you. How can I make such a bold claim? I’ll put it another way: Unless you know absolutely and with complete clarity that you are making decisions […]

Today, I am letting Arianna Huffington (of the Huffington Post) explain what’s most important in life, leadership and success. I’ve attached the article by Ekaterina Walter and her interview with Arianna in full below, but here are three of her eight nuggets with my own comments 🙂 “We need space to innovate, think, and strategize.

Insight Doesn’t Equal Change

When I worked at the University of Washington at the Behavioral Research & Therapy Clinic a friend of mine and I were discussing what made people change. He was a behaviorist and focused more on what people do. At the time I was much more into the more philosophical and analytic approach which favored insight […]
