I was talking with a client a few weeks back who can honestly and confidently state that she is strong and powerful and capable and competent. She’s 100% right about this! Still, she is dealing with some things that have her feeling weak and wobbly and incapable and incompetent. She…

A much-needed change post-holidays and at the start of this New Year — The holiday rush is over. Packages have been unwrapped. The recycling bin is full-to-overflowing. The Christmas tree is down. The decorations are packed into their crates until next year. Green juice now resides in my fridge (and I’ve even started drinking it). Deep breath. As lovely as every bit of…

I turned my book manuscript in to my publisher just over three weeks ago. It’s a bit of a shock, given that for the past year, I have had a minimum of two full days per week blocked for nothing but writing (not to mention the 20-some years I’ve been…

And some truths about actually letting go and trusting yourself. — A few weeks back I was in a place I haven’t been for two-plus years: wearing a lavalier mic, standing in front of a room full of people, training and facilitating.
