blog + what's on my mind

Writing a book has been a truly humbling experience—and probably the biggest project I’ve taken on since my corporate days! The past few months of working on this project have reminded me of just how far I’ve come from the days of overworking and burning out. AND how I still apply SO much of what […]

How often do you really put yourself first?  The idea of making myself the number one priority has never rung true for me, because if I were truly doing so, there are A LOT of things I would NOT do. Such as picking up my teen from a friend’s house at midnight when I’d rather be […]

Do you find that one minute you can feel on top of everything and then all of a sudden you feel overwhelmed with the high expectations you put on yourself? Do you want to slow down the pace when you are feeling that way but you also know you need to get things done? It […]

What would change if you felt more in control of your workload and days? A few years ago, when I felt overwhelmed with everything to do, I would double down on my efforts and hard work. I would put in longer hours, push through the overwhelm, and tell myself that when I got all caught […]

Are you “in between” right now? Maybe it’s a change in your career or joining a new team. Maybe it’s letting go of a relationship that is no longer meant for you. Perhaps it’s working on being calmer and more present with your kids in the everyday moments. Or maybe you’re like me and stepping […]

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 […]
