Do you ever wonder how exactly you’re supposed to feel positive, hopeful and optimistic when life seems to be handing you nothing but a whole lot of stress? I totally get that. And the truth is, I’m not immune to stress and I’m not positive all of the time, but that’s not the goal. You don’t have to be stress …
Everything just feels different. Whether it’s dinner with friends, running into Target to pick up a few things or deciding about sending your kid to school in the fall. It’s not as relaxing or as clear or as easy to do the things you used to do. It’s not the same. Nothing feels the same. Have you grieved those losses …
How much time in a day do you spend consuming media? Think about this for a second—do you scroll through FB before rolling out of bed? Is the Today Show on in the background as you get ready for work? How many notifications pop up on your screen in a day? What do you do during your lunch break—is it …
I’ve always been a great sleeper—seriously since I was a baby, sleeping’s been my jam. So when my kiddo wouldn’t sleep—4 years in he’s still not great at it—I was shocked. Did you know that sleeping is a skill?! It’s not something that everyone just innately knows how to do. You have to learn and practice it.
It’s a stressful time right now. With all of this uncertainty, it’s hard to not feel like you’re on the longest ever rollercoaster ride. One day you’re re-organizing your kitchen cabinets and decluttering the pantry, the next you’re binge watching Tiger King…in your pjs…while eating Mitchell’s pistachio ice cream right out of the carton…all damn day. The most important thing to …
Anyone else ready to freak out? I haven’t left my neighborhood since March 12th, the weather’s been crappy these last few days and the news…well, really flipping depressing, combined with all of the normal stressful things that actually feel really intense right now – I’ve been teetering on the verge. DMX – Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind – feels …
If you’re feeling anything like me, it feels like the rug just got yanked right out from underneath you. It feels a little scary, a little overwhelming and really really confusing. What we’re all experiencing right now is unlike anything any of us have ever experienced before. And while the information and opinions that are flying around right now can be tricky …
When life gets stressful, it’s easy to start playing the what if game. What if this bad thing happens or what if that bad thing happens. And once that ball of bad what ifs starts rolling, it’s really hard to stop. Next thing you know, you’re up to your eyeballs in all of the terrible things that could happen, and …
Let’s talk about love. A lot of times when people think about love – they think about the fairytale version of love – the hearts, roses, butterflies and happily ever afters. But I think love’s a lot grittier than that. Love is about a willingness to really look at and see someone for who they are – the good, the …
One of the hardest parts about change is figuring out where to begin. I often work with people who know that they need to make a change, they’re just not sure what that change is, let alone how to make it happen.
