I’ve spent the last four years coaching my clients to reach new levels of confidence, fulfillment, and professional success. During that time, I’ve made a point to study the tools and techniques that contribute to deep and lasting change—the kind of exercises and habits that activate transformational growth. Some of these tools are ones that…
When I was 22, I had a recurring fantasy. That fantasy was NOT that I’d wind up pregnant and barefoot in a field…though apparently I managed that anyway. : ) No, like any hot-blooded, fresh-faced, newly minted university graduate, I fantasized about my career. Specifically, I longed for the guts and marketable skills to start…
You know that feeling when it’s a holiday weekend, the boss shuts down work early, and you get to flee and scoot your boot home for a long and luscious break? You have that sensation of being fully and truly unplugged… Like you don’t have a care in the world. You’re free to simply ENJOY…
When President Joe Biden took the podium last week, it was a blue sky day in Washington D.C. During his inaugural address, he demonstrated the kind of leadership we’ve been sorely lacking these last four years. I’ve always been a sucker for powerful words and speeches (I gave the student commencement address at my college graduation), but…
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media, your inbox, or an internet ‘research’ wormhole and feeling like absolute CRAP because the other entrepreneurs and experts in your field are absolutely crushing it? You see them spouting off clever captions, pitch-perfect headlines, and announcements about their latest successes… You look at photos that show…

Zeus got a crippling headache, begged a fellow god to split his immortal head open with an axe, and boom! There she was, all grown up and wearing armor…
“It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – Albus Dumbledore Last night I finished rereading the final book in the Harry Potter series. I’ve been losing myself in those pages, swooping through their magic and mystery like a vivifying wind, riding waves of adventure inside the…
You know that feeling when you think about writing (for your blog, newsletter, Instagram channel, or basically anyplace your audience hangs out) and your brain screeches to a halt? The lights go out. The walls go up. The dream of prolific, playful sharing vanishes like a puff of smoke. I know. It sucks. And it…
When you sit down to write a newsletter, social media post, or some other form of content for your audience, do you get stuck feeling like you “don’t know what to say”? A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with an entrepreneur struggling with writer’s block. After several years of creating content on and…
True story: I cried in yoga last week. Not while hovering in a tricep pushup (though I came VERY close to collapse). Not while standing on one leg and leaning forward (though I definitely fell down on that one). I cried at the end, during shavasana, when the teacher quoted Mr. Rogers. After an hour of deep…
