Intellectually, you understand it’s important for you to take care of yourself … but you still find yourself prioritizing pleasing other people over your own needs (I call this “approval whoring”). You want to be your own best friend … but you spend a lot of time criticizing and hating yourself. You want to be […]
I am not responsible for how you feel
My clients often get in their own way because they’re worried about how they will make others feel. Here’s the thing: You are not responsible for how others feel, you are only responsible for the energy you bring. Years ago, I was at the Daring Way™ training with some colleagues. One of their partners is […]
Resentment is corrosive
You say “YES” when you really want to say “NO.” You are afraid that if you don’t “people please” people will leave you. Here’s the thing. You’re so busy considering what other people think of you + what they think you should do. That you haven’t given thought or space to what you want to […]
You aren’t responsible for your daughter’s feelings
I just got off the phone with a client. She was in so much pain. Her 18 year old daughter, a senior in high school, had told her, “You make me feel like I’m never enough!!!” This really works for her daughter, because my client then gets small in their relationship. My client doesn’t want […]
My favorite foods
Food. It’s all I thought about. My next meal. Where? When? How? It was seductive. I wanted to eat what I wanted. I didn’t want to follow anyone else’s rules. I tuned out so much in my life, just to think about my next meal. My favorite meal was the “forbidden meal.” It could be […]
30% = Success???
Baseball has great lessons for life, even if you’re like me and not a baseball fan. While I never watch baseball on television, on occasion I’ll go with my lifelong Giants fan husband to a game. Even though I don’t love baseball, I love to read lots of baseball books. There are so many good […]
Appreciate what’s amazing
You have dreams. You have desires about how you live this one precious life. You appreciate the amazing things in your life. But …. not everyone has the capacity to: appreciate what’s amazing. allow what’s amazing into their life. live with the amazing in their life. Why??? Because it’s vulnerable. Amazing is not a 24/7 […]
You want the beauty without the mess
The “beauty” is your version of the good life. It’s all those dreams you’ve had for yourself. You believe the pathway is a nice straight line, without any mess. I have an unfortunate truth for you my friend. To get to the beauty in your life…you’ll have to go through life’s mess. There will be […]
Don’t let obstacles stop you.
I used to think an obstacle meant “this is not possible for me.” Obstacles used to be my dream killers. Now I realize obstacles are something to overcome. Obstacles are the pathway to achieving what my heart desires. As I solve each obstacle I learn, grow, become resilient + move towards my goal. However, this […]
What’s Your Warning Sign?
Why isn’t your life better? Let’s take a moment to listen to how you talk to yourself. Do you say… “I achieved _____but that’s not as good as ________.” “I haven’t achieved enough, yet?” “I should be further along!” Notice how this makes you feel? Do you feel frustrated with yourself? Do you feel unworthy? […]
