What If Everything Was Happening Perfectly

Have you ever thought about how changing your ‘thoughts’ about your problems may help you? Today has been a great day so far, and as I look out of my office window, the sun is shining, and I can see blue skies.  I have just had a no-show for a scheduled call, and I am […]

No Right Or Wrong Way To Feel

I was talking with a client recently who wasn’t feeling good about themselves having put on weight due to a health issue. So, she wasn’t feeling good about herself, and she felt bad because she knew it wasn’t good to be thinking of herself in his way, which made her feel even worse.   Our mind […]

Don’t Give Up

Annoying thought for the day – brought on by this meme I saw last night.  Managing your brain isn’t easy.  That is why so many people don’t start doing something they want to do or give up halfway through because things have become uncomfortable… and they expect everything to be easy or see the results […]

Change Comes From Learning

When Being Comfortable Leads To Complacency…And It Rarely Ends Well 

The primitive part of our brain serves us well in many ways as it keeps our life support systems working, and I am immensely grateful for that. It also wants to keep us safe, which on the one hand, makes sense; however, it often means that we fall into our comfort zone and because this […]

Madeline Albright

Over the weekend, I saw a post from  Billie Jean King.  She shared that on the day in question, Madeleine k Albright became the first woman appointed to the Secretary of State cabinet position in 1997.  The U.S. has had 71 Secretaries of State, with just 3 being women, Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, & Hillary […]

Business Owners and Ruts – It Is A Thing

Business owners and ruts; it’s a thing. Last night, I listened to Mel Robbins talk about being stuck and how it’s a calling to something else. Something to be embraced. A new opportunity to move to the next step. A thought that on the surface might be ‘negative’ and yet brings with it opportunity. When […]
