blog + what's on my mind

You know that feeling – the one where you suddenly realize that you said yes to something that you really did NOT want to do? When you get that pit of nervousness in your stomach as you wonder how in the world you will have time for the new project you just said yes to. […]

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 […]

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 […]
