How does this serve you?

Posted on December 1, 2020

I’m not appreciated. I often hear this from clients when they are verbal vomiting the painful stories in their head about an area they are struggling with. A magic trick I have to stop the vomit is to ask “how does it serve you to believe you are not appreciated.” The immediate answer, It doesn’t […]

Stop saying THIS sentence

Posted on November 17, 2020

There’s one thing that’s getting in the way of your confidence. You believe it’s either:  Your lack of achieving your goals + desires. All the demands placed on your life + schedule. Your lot in life. Actually it’s not any of those life circumstances. It’s what you believe. It’s your thought. It’s a sentence in […]

What to do when the isolation is getting to be a lot during COVID-19

Posted on April 28, 2020

I have several clients who are strong independant, intelligent women.  They are badass leaders in their professional lives. They support so many people, communities and help others rise up. They have created a life where they are not dependent on anyone. They have financial resources to take care of them. Many of them have chosen […]

The path well worn

Posted on March 17, 2020

Recently, I was hiking along the beautiful Amalfi Coast.  Actually, I was hiking alongside a cliff. There were lots of rocks and rubble. The interesting thing was that  the paths most walked were well-worn and also the most slippery + dangerous. This is a great metaphor for life. How often are the paths most walked […]

Focus on what you CAN do

Posted on February 4, 2020

I can’t cook. I can’t get organized. I can’t write. Remind you of how you’ve been talking to yourself? Do you focus on what you can’t do instead of what you CAN do? How’s that working for you Are you stuck? Do you beat yourself up because you story fondle all the things you can’t […]

Do you want to fit in... or belong?

Confusing belonging with fitting in

Posted on January 28, 2020

My client was in tears. I asked her, “Do you want to fit in … or belong.” Her response surprised me. “I want to fit in.” Fitting in is an attempt at making yourself who you think others want you to be.  Belonging is showing up fully as your complete messy + lovable self. She […]

The most dangerous place in the world

Posted on January 21, 2020

I’m rather fortunate. I’m a female born in the United States of America. While my family was poor, I was always safe and out of harm’s way from the dangers of the world. Today, as a middle-aged woman, I live in an affluent, educated, + relatively safe community. I realize I’m lucky compared to so […]

Are you mad at yourself? You know better, but you just aren’t doing better? It’s time to forgive yourself. Yes, forgive.   Forgiveness does not mean what you did was okay. To forgive yourself is to let those painful stories die. In order to do this, you must first own the story.   Own what you did […]
