The winds of change and transition are upon us. Children are leaving, growing up, moving out, and moving on. Parents and grandparents are too. Jobs are transitioning. Marriages are well, marriages. Wherever this message finds you today, if you are experiencing change, transition, loss, a degree of uncertainty, a sense of a lack of groundedness, you are not alone.
Today I’m sending you a little lunchbox note. A note written to your Inner Child. To your tender heart or confused self. A...
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” Olympic Games Creed
If you are only focused on the win, you are selling yourself short of the growth, the lessons, the intrinsic wins along the way. You are missing your chance at noticing and celebrating your courage for playing, for trying, for putting...
What would happen if you were still for a minute or two or five or ten?
“Busy is a means of avoiding the reality of our lives.” Brené Brown. We think this so we go go go. We think we have to prove our worth through alllllllll that we are constantly doing. Our thoughts keep us moving. Constantly. We are doing or watching or scrolling or reading….
What would happen if you were still for a minute or two or five or ten?
Be still. Breathe deep. Feel...
BE Present. For in this very moment lies the joy and the peace that you most desire. I’ll show you. Play along with me?
Tap your leg. Tap tap tap. Notice what you are thinking about: How annoying it is you are tapping, right? (That tapping, present moment thought. ) Stay with me…
Now take 3 slow, deep breaths in and out of your nose. Notice the feeling of the air as you breathe in for 6 seconds. Hold. Notice the air as you breathe out for 8 seconds. Hold. In and out. (Close...
All the goals. The resets. The striving. The healthy eating. The gym visits. The organizing. The calendar. The checklists. The progress.
Remember: YOU are a human BE•ing Not a human DO•ing.
We feel better when we have visible results on the outside. AND our ultimate desires to feel joy, calm, freedom, peace, love, strength and purpose only come when we are connected to the Truth of who we are. That comes from withIN.
We are conditioned to believe that it is in what we do, and what...
I had a call with a client today. We are coming up on the end of her 6 months of coaching. She has experienced HUGE shifts in her life this year! Today she expressed feelings of joy, purpose, and empowerment.
I asked her if I’d ever told her my elevator speech? Truth is, how can I possibly sum up what I do in a few sentences?! Yes, she agreed. That would seem nearly impossible.
“I help women reconnect with their True selves so that she can live her life with more joy, purpose, and...
I love this quote by Ruth Casey! Your life today, you created it. Not your work or your husband or your kids or your parents. You created your reality. I know, I didn’t believe that either at one time. I blamed my circumstances and everyone else.
I have spent the last 8 years of my life working on me, and the last three helping women change their lives. I’m here to attest that the power to change your life comes from within YOU!
You know what is the best part of accepting that you...
This is a big weekend for my 10-year old daughter. After taking a dance class last year and discovering her passion, she joined a competitive dance team with a slant toward pom. She LOVES dance. She love love loves it!!
Meanwhile, to say that I’ve internally fought the dance thing is an understatement. I played sports growing up and am a huge sports fan. Although I don’t say 99% of what I’m thinking and feeling within me to my daughter, I do say things to my friends. Another...
My mode of operation was living through the belief that my self-worth came from outside of me…from other people’s perceptions of me and my own perceptions of myself. I believed my worth could be measured.
When I started my personal development work and started understanding what perfectionism meant, it’s barriers to true connection and how it holds me back, I began to loosen my grip on the striving and proving and doing to “be perfect”.
My next iteration was...
And when we are willing to open our hearts and our minds to the expansive nature of the universe within us and around us, we begin to feel that we are not stuck, we are not less than, we are not alone.
…
Women come to me desiring peace, calm, balance, joy, connection and/or a sense of purpose in their lives.

I went to a coach years ago wanting the same. Wanting to be unstuck. Not understanding why I didn’t feel better in my life. If you haven’t heard my story, the...
