I thought I was better . . .

Last week, I had to make a decision I didn’t like. I canceled a training class. I had a terrible sore throat and wasn’t feeling well, and while part of me wanted to push through and “be strong,” another part of me knew better. I spend a lot of time teaching leaders about self-care, stress […]

We built love again

When everyone has an opinion

A few months ago, I stepped into a new role as Secretary on my HOA Board. We moved into this new community last summer so I was thinking this would be a great way to learn more and contribute. I thought it would be straightforward. I was just going to be a regular director, but […]

I found a video of my 30-year old self

A dear friend of mine is in the middle of packing up her life. She just sold her condo and is getting ready to move to South Carolina—a big transition, a fresh chapter. In the process, she came across something unexpected… An old DVD. It was from 36 years ago (1990). It blew me away. […]

The cost of always holding it together

Last week, I had the opportunity to close a conference for over 200 home visiting professionals. It was an incredible group—engaged, thoughtful, and deeply committed to the families they serve. But there was something I kept noticing. Not just during the presentation… but in the conversations afterward. So many of them are “on” all the […]

When your mind won’t turn off at night

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.

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 […]
