blog + what's on my mind

Find yourself feeling behind most days or thinking “I don’t have enough time for it all!”? While those thoughts still creep up for me, they don’t have the same power over me or stress me out like they used to. BUT, this summer I had a realization . . . What if we just accept […]

This time of year, I take a beat to think about what I really want my Fall to look like with the kids back at school and business in full swing. While still keeping some of the summer vibe! When I think of last year, one challenge was that the kids are now in different […]

Being a balanced leader is all about focusing on what really matters and taking care of yourself IN ORDER to be the best leader you can be. Which has nothing to do with your title or position and everything to do with being a leader in your life. But what happens when you feel like […]

September is right around the corner! It’s THAT time of year again when many of us experience the end-of-summer blues, back-to-school rush and ramping up work projects. I am feeling a familiar unease this week with this transition, knowing that the slower summer lake life is ending and it’s back to the busier city routine. […]

I help busy leaders and teams to create more balance, less stress and perform at a high level. My confession is that . . . I don’t actually care about high performance! Back when I started to make my own big shift in how I was showing up in my life a few years ago. […]

This is a big part of the work I do with clients, helping them to shift their thinking and behaviors to keep stronger boundaries, say no with more ease and step out […]

Are you at the end of yet another week where you worked more hours than you wanted to, you’re feeling exhausted, and realizing that you haven’t taken a moment for yourself? TGIF, right?! And maybe you’re excited for the weekend, but also feeling like you have little energy for much else and already worrying about […]

Last weekend, I ran an organized race for the first time since 2017. My training didn’t quite go as planned for a 10km race and, leading up to the day, I hadn’t run more than 30 minutes at a time. In the days before the event, it was tempting to let the negative thoughts seep […]
