When your mind won’t turn off at night

This past week, I had the opportunity to deliver a keynote to a large audience of social workers. Now, I’ve been speaking for many years—but typically to groups of 50… maybe 100 people. This audience? 👉 200 people👉 20 tables of 10 And even with all of my experience… I could feel my system a […]

Why I still make choices I know aren’t good for me

Food Addiction and Procrastination I just got back from a trip to South Carolina. It was so nice to get away with my friend, enjoy the sunshine, time away, and a change of scenery. We went to the Myrtle Beach area. And I hate to say it, but I didn’t make the best choices when […]

Confidence isn’t a personality trait – it’s a state

Confidence is a state of mind and physiology matters too. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been exploring something important. First, how real change happens below the surface of the conscious mind.Then, how stress lives not just in our schedule, but in our nervous system. Today, I want to talk about something many people […]

Stress isn’t just in your schedule – It’s in your nervous system

There was a season in my life when stress felt like a constant companion. It was the year I left my corporate position to start my coaching and training business (2013). On paper, it looked exciting. I had been counting down for over 4 years (1,100 days!). I had an app on my phone telling […]

Why change can feel so hard

This weekend, our home was lively and full of energy because we invited 3 of the grandkids for a sleepover. There was that kind of joyful chaos that fills a house with life. There was a dance party in the new basement with blankets and pillows everywhere. We bought cookies, ice cream, and had pancakes […]

The sign I almost missed

Stay the course and look for signs When I sat down to write this I was feeling a little scattered and impatient. You know that feeling? It’s like when winter seems like it should be over, but the wind is still biting, and the warm weather last week feels like a distant memory. That’s what […]

Give to Gain: The Power of Sustainable Giving

Celebrating International Women’s Day Tuesday, I had the honor of speaking at a company in Tolland, CT, that was celebrating its female employees for International Women’s Day. The audience was about 35 women (on site), (4 brave men showed up), and others joined in virtually from around the world. The theme of the event this […]

Do you have demon hunters in your midst?

Facing our inner demons (and finding peace anyway) This weekend, all four of my grandkids slept over at our house. As you can imagine it was quite lively! At one point, I walked into our new family room and found them watching K-Pop Demon Hunters. If you are not familiar, it’s a movie with high-energy music, […]

The Place Between Retreat and Real Life

Life doesn’t often move in neat, predictable chapters. Sometimes it feels more like stepping from one season into another without much warning — caregiver, speaker, leader, daughter, teacher — all within a matter of days. I actually love my life this way. It’s an adventure. And sometimes it’s exhausting if I haven’t filled my cup. […]

Give to Gain but Self-Care First

V-Day Prep As Valentine’s Day approaches, I find myself thinking less about cards and candy—and more about the quiet, meaningful ways that we love, give, and show up for others in our lives. This past weekend, I spent three hours with the kiddos watching them make Valentine cards for one another. Construction paper, markers, stickers, […]
