blog + what's on my mind

Do you find yourself often feeling guilty about saying no to someone or something (even though it’s what you deep down wanted to do)? Or feeling guilty because you missed an important deadline last week or yelled at your kids last night? Guilt comes from the feeling that you’re doing something wrong. And I believe […]

Want to stop thinking about work all the time? Or overthinking every little decision? Or worrying constantly about what people think of you? I remember a moment a few years ago when all I wanted was to stop thinking about work while watching my kids’ swimming lessons. I was stressing about a big work presentation, […]

As I wrapped up last week, I had the old familiar worry pop up that I am going to fall behind or let someone down because I didn’t get everything done. Not taking into consideration . . . I had been sick a couple of days and had several client sessions. The kids were off […]

Are you constantly worried about what other people think, overwhelmed with all the to-dos racing in your mind, or simply feeling mentally “messy”?
