Several of you have asked me what it is like to work with a Life Coach. So, I decided to share my notes with you from 3 sessions with my Life Coach. (These are just my notes – my “nuggets of wisdom” I wanted to take away from each session and my A-ha moments.) Understand, […]

We want more in life. We have this desire, this need, to grow and do more. Be more. But, then something gets it our way. That something is the very reason only 1% achieve that success so many of us crave. Instead of dealing with that something, we choose safety and security. We resist. We […]

All of my hard work for the last six months culminated last week… *** …By the end of it, I was emotionally and physically exhausted…. ***I deleted the entirety of this story. Although entertaining truth, it is irrelevant to what happened next. See, all of my reasons why I acted in the manner I did […]

Although I am all about my routines and staying in my comfort zone, spontaneity, excitement, and a change of scenery is refreshing once in a while. Cut, dye, or style your hair differently. Volunteer your time. Paint your nails a bold color. Adopt a dog. Get a tattoo. Travel somewhere you’ve never been. Read a […]

Today we are talking about the scale. I am here to tell you that it is your friend, not your enemy! Just wait… hear me out! The scale is a measuring tool. It collects data. That’s it. There are no emotions or judgments involved in weighing yourself. If you are being emotional about the scale, […]
