What you need to know for when life doesn’t go as planned

A few weeks ago we ordered brand spankin’ new convection double wall ovens – yay! I love a good, fully functioning appliance :), and our ovens have been on their last legs since we bought our house 4 years ago. They squeak when they preheat…cook, and cool down too. And the interior lights never turn off (mostly due to my …

How to Declutter Your Space this Fall

If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to collect stuff over time. You stick all of the takeout menus in a kitchen drawer, along with every random paperclip, rubber band and pen you find. Your closet has a selection of white t-shirts in every neckline and sleeve length ever sold. And your guest bedroom has more “extra” pillows than the …

How to stay happy when others are negative

Do you ever find yourself surrounded by a bunch of negative nellys? Every time you try to look on the brighter side of life these people are quick to throw out all the reasons why the brighter side is “naive” or “not reality.” Here’s the thing – their negativity is more about how they see the world and what’s right …

Sticking to your goals during times of stress

One of the biggest frustrations I hear from my coaching clients is that when life happens, like it inevitably does, it’s really hard to stick with your goals.

Life stressing you out?

My private coaching clients, family and friends have all been talking about what a whirlwind 2019 has been. I’m not sure if it’s the rollercoaster ride weather or the crazy cosmic forces (yes, I’ve been searching for some answers about why 2019 is so crazy and I’ve found some of the answers quite literally written in the stars). I’ve been …

Do this to feel lighter in the new year…

A few Christmases ago, when we went to Mexico for the holiday, I had the great idea that Mark and I should consolidated our luggage. So I bought a big suitcase from one of those Today Show Steals and Deals—without paying attention to the dimensions. Because of this, Mark and I ended up traveling with a big ass suitcase, and …

Become a Confident Decision Maker

Why is that decisions can feel so hard to make?  One big reason is that we’re afraid of making the wrong one. But here’s the problem—you won’t know if a decision is “right” or  “wrong” until you’re on the other side of it. Decision made, consequence felt—it’s only then that you can assess the choice you made. So in order …

Ready for a change?

Are you ready for a change? Exhausted by sprinting through your daily race of hurdles, burnout from the stress of ALWAYS having something “to do” (but never feeling like you’re getting anything done) and just tired of looking around—not seeing where you are as where you actually want to be. You’re desperate for a change.  You wish you could just …
