We’re on the verge of making our biggest purchase to date and I’m having these moments of panic.

I went to yoga earlier this year with unshaven underarms. I’m not sure it was enough to notice, but I felt a little uncomfortable.

This corona news craze reminds me of being a journalist in my 20s. I’d get so pumped about nationally breaking news.

Sadness settled in a few weeks ago during a walk around my normally populated neighborhood in Washington, D.C.

Starting a business or making your side hustle your full-time gig is a big step. The same goes for switching professions or going back to school at a time in life that’s considered “late.

Complaining feels so good, but it’s oh so bad for us.

It takes a lot of energy. It’s about non-acceptance and contrary to gratitude. I would offer that it’s a habit that disrupts our flow.

You may be too overwhelmed to worry about purpose in the workplace, but let me tell you the benefits of practicing purpose.

We can all benefit from coaching to improve our lives. Overall it’s designed to get you one step closer to your desired outcome.

Instead of driving my career, it was driving me.

Promotions and opportunities led me from one position to another. In hindsight, and now moving forward, knowing and understanding my purpose are the key drivers.

The key to productivity is focus. This week, focus on one thing.

We often don’t get things accomplished because we’re all over the place. Let’s keep things simple to maximize our time.

Figuring out how to get where you want to be is a lot simpler than you think.

You ready? Here’s the answer: ask someone who’s already doing it. That’s it. I guarantee you there’s someone out there doing what you want to do or something close to it.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Well, unless you dread those holiday work parties.

Here come the office potlucks or the after-work gatherings you may want to avoid. I know. I get it. Let’s see if we can prepare for a more positive experience this year by using the tips below.

I had no idea being grateful was a “strength” but, according to my free VIA strengths character survey I sometimes use with my clients, it is one. 

I recommend assessing yourself because purpose is closely linked to our gifts, our superpowers. But many of us are unclear on what those are exactly so our unique missions to fulfill remain murky.

Starting a new job can be exciting, but also intimidating. We sometimes question our abilities and whether we’re really qualified for our new position.

It doesn’t matter that a company chose us, we still may wonder if someone made a mistake.

The key to leaving a job you're good at that pays well is to understand what’s keeping you there.

Some of you are reading this and wondering why someone would leave a job where they're killin' it or may also enjoy it. Well, sometimes we get this sense there’s more to life than our “successful” work positions.

I had an amazing 40th year, which included the best summer of my adult life.

I got to spend time with my childhood friends, and seeing my family regularly was amazing.  I took time to reflect on the 40 lessons I’ve learned over the past 40 years. And let me be clear, I’ve learned these things but, for some of them, I am far from having them mastered. 

The phrase “I can’t” was like a cuss word in my house growing up.

I was taught from an early age you gotta make things happen on your own. If you want something, you go after it -- period. You don’t rely on anyone else, any Higher Being or circumstances to get you where you want to be.

I can’t think of one person who isn’t going through something, can you?

There’s varying degrees of situations women are facing, but everyone’s got challenges. My parents remind me often how that’s just life, and they’re right.

Caring for your “inside” is just as important as taking care of your “outside.”

As we spend time on our outer selves, I want to offer a friendly reminder to invest in your inner self, too.

Staying motivated to exercise is hard. My friend "Jennifer" joined a running group recently to help her become more active. It’s this serious organization where 150 or so professionals gather to support each other as they run weekly together around the city to stay fit.

A couple of clients I work with are really struggling, and have been for a long time, when it comes to taking care of themselves…

My self-care was going pretty well, so I thought. I’ve been checking things off my self-care checklist each week without realizing I’ve been missing a key component – self-love.

I struggled with anxiety and depression for way too long so I understand the detrimental impacts of putting other aspects of my life first like work or grad school. For you, it could be your partner or children, or the craziness of life.
