People have opinions. In fact, they have lots of opinions. And don’t worry, their opinions include judgements about what you should and shouldn’t do. Don’t let their judgements stop you. Instead you must listen to the inside of you. Give your opinion more weight than you do other people’s judgement. Last fall, I was helping […]
Start with LOVE. Love leads to more LOVE. It’s not selfish or being self absorbed to love yourself. Loving yourself is to your ability to love others. Love yourself first and then you have the ability to extend that love to others in every encounter. When you love yourself, you are filled with LOVE. When […]
OMG! Exciting news! Recently I celebrated a significant event in my life (keep reading so you can see how that affects you). 14 years of my show. More importantly….what I am really celebrating was by starting this show in 2006, I finally listened to that voice in the back of my head. “Koren, there’s a […]
I’m always talking about you becoming the LEADER of YOUR LIFE. WHY? Because most of our lives — especially if you are female — you’ve been culturally programmed to fit in to be accepted, to have a place in society. I get it … back in the day this was important to ensure one’s safety […]
I should know how to do it. I’m so stupid. I can’t ever get it right. Sound familiar? Effective? Only if you want to continue to feel less confident of yourself. Remember we are all newbies in a global pandemic. You aren’t going to know how to do it, you’ll make mistakes not because your […]

People often think life is an either/or. Either you sacrifice yourself at work to create the career you want … and your personal life struggles. Or you give up your career to have the family you want. While those are indeed two options, they aren’t the only options. Doing good work does NOT mean you […]
Are you always saying you’re sorry for no REAL reason? If yes, stop that right now! This is part of the cultural programming that has taught women it’s their fault. First, is there anything you need to be apologizing for? Second, dig deep here … do you really mean it or are those words just […]
Two types of leadership. Growing up…there weren’t many female leaders I knew about. On TV the leaders were men. While I had female leaders in the classroom and a powerful force of a mother, until college all of my swimming coaches had been male. I was culturally programmed to not value my mother and the […]
A number of years ago, a thoughtful, long-time listener sent me an email. She asked me to consider to stop using the term “approval whore.” She believed it was demeaning. Over the next few months, I percolated on her email. While I understood her point of view, I also came to realize exactly why […]
