blog + what's on my mind

As I support many of my clients in creating stronger boundaries to protect their time and energy, I am reminded of just how far I’ve come myself in this area! A few years ago, I used to work most evenings and weekends. I rarely said no (and was scared to do it). I constantly worried […]

Are you at the end of yet another 10 to 12-hour work day, feeling exhausted and realizing you haven’t even taken a moment for yourself? You know this pace isn’t sustainable, but you don’t know what you could possibly take off your plate or how you can get out of survival mode. People assume that […]

You ever have one of those weeks where so many things seem to be going wrong? You are like, WTF is happening? You end up feeling more stressed out, more frustrated, and even further behind! Well, for me, the past four weeks have seemed like one thing after another. A death in the family, a […]

The power and value of my work — and why I do it — is to empower others to be the confident, balanced leaders they want to be without sacrificing performance. To feel happier and prioritize well-being, have the time and energy for ALL the important areas of their life, and feel present and centered […]

Life Lesson #3 – What you really want is what you must really go for! Back in 2015, when I left my corporate career, I had some new space in my calendar. For the first time ever, we had the option to live at the cabin for the summer. It was the best summer ever. […]

Ever find yourself all excited about a new habit or change, and then a few weeks (or even days) later you realize you are back into the same old patterns? You have the best of intentions and try to do things differently. Maybe you cut back on back-to-back meetings to give you some breathing space to get […]

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your life and that you just didn’t accomplish what you set out to do this year? You are not alone. The end of the year can leave us feeling inspired for all that is to come or, like many, feeling like we didn’t accomplish many of our goals! Perhaps, this […]
