Going through dark nights of the soul We all have dark nights of the soul. Thank you Glennon Doyle Melton for teaching me a few things. If you haven’t read her book, Love Warrior, I highly recommend you do. It pulled me in like Eat Pray Love did years ago and this...

I can't believe I said it Yes you can, but you have to start by taking small action every day. I come from very little and from a home where choice is not exactly a word we used often. I had much less than I do today. Owning only one pair of jeans at a time, and we...

One great breakthrough in my life Yes you can, but you have to start by taking small action every day. Today I want to talk about one great breakthrough in my life, working out and actually enjoying it. I am a very forward thinking person so I don't spend too much...

How to sell in an authentic way Yes you can, but you have to start by taking small action every day. One of the most common questions I get from my clients who are either starting a business or trying to grow one is this: "How do you sell yourself in a very authentic...

Today I want to discuss what it means to be human and the veil of distraction that comes with that. By Jason Skirry, Philosophical Living  We live in a distracted world. We are constantly being bombarded by advertisements on TV, in taxicabs, buses, on billboards, and...

Today I want to talk about a non traditional philosopher but an important philosopher, Brad Pitt. Do you ever feel paralyzed with too many choices or not sure which one is the right one? If you are like most people, the to do list grows longer and longer but there...

First time I went shopping in the United States, I was a college student and I wanted cereal. I walked into the biggest grocery store I have ever seen in my life (back home, only soccer stadiums were that big). I was used to having so much less choice in cereal to see...

Today I want to talk about what matters most at the end of the day, which for me is things that create meaning in my life. Last few weeks have been challenging on a personal level: bad news all around me with loved ones experiencing loss or illness.   It brought...

Today I want to talk about what is in my treasure box and how it helps me reflect and reconnect with my authentic self. I am often asked how I inspire myself when I have “blah” days and I thought I would share that with all of you. Let’s be honest: everyone has days...

Today I am going to talk about what it means to be in a Golden Handcuff. What are Golden Handcuffs? Did you ever stay at the job because of the benefits even though you didn’t like the job? If so, you are not alone. Last year, I met with a professional woman who was...

Today I want to tell you all to not let circumstances decide when you want to do something about your life. So, I had a huge “oh crap” moment after I published my last post. I felt inspired and truly wanted to share my joys and struggles with you all and then I woke...

My guilty pleasure is watching the show Nashville. I am not exactly a country girl but that show just makes me very happy because the music is so beautiful and I appreciate the writing very much. Few weeks ago, they did a song called Roots and Wings (you can check it...

Today I want to talk to you all about how I stay motivated. I often see myself, my friends and my clients get very excited about an idea or an opportunity we want to pursue. We feel the excitement and have the energy to go after it. Then, few days or weeks later –...

The birth of this website and my coaching life came after a series of life defeating moments, struggle with infertility most notably. I found myself with all the things I thought I wanted (career, a title, money, material possessions, cool parties, exotic travel) and...

One of the most rewarding things in my job is to see my clients transform and change their lives, especially since I know that the path to living your purpose is not always an easy one. Today, I invited Kristin Sweetman to share her journey with all of us.  ...

Today I am going to be discussing if coaches (and therapists) who have depression and anxiety be coaching others? Few months ago, I read a story of a life coach, Emma Louise, who shared about her struggle with depression and anxiety.   In the comments section, I...

Sometimes, it seems as if the world will eat us alive if we appear sensitive and vulnerable. In fact, many see our sensitivity and vulnerability as a weakness. I know this all too well: having lived through war I decided to appear in the world as strong, resilient and...

Today, I would like to introduce a very inspiring young woman, Heather O’Hagan. She teaches us how sometimes, the best thing you can do is just go for your dreams!   I got to meet Heather O’Hagan last year and from the moment I met her, it was obvious that she...

Today I want to talk about inner peace and how to find it. Meditation is sooooooooo good for us, right? We have all heard it, read the research and seen the benefits had we ever attempted to stay in that savasana long enough (you know, that minute of quiet magic at...

Don’t decorate before you build a house When we first start pursuing our goals, we do it with such motivation and energy behind it. Some of us have a specific plan and have no problems making progress. On the other hand, some of us get caught up in the details or as I...

Today I want to talk about sharing your gift, whatever your gift may be. So many of my friends and clients are visionaries and their gifts inspire me greatly. I look at what they have to offer and I think of how many people could benefit from it. The problem is that...

Today I want to talk about coaching questions for self care with you all. As a new mom, I am realizing that I cannot take care of my baby unless I take care of myself. Lack of sleep, working long hours and many responsibilities often cause stress and affect our...

I love working out and the energy I get from a workout. I honestly didn’t think much would change after the baby, but I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong! So, while I am still trying to find a way to balance motherhood and work – both aspects of my life that I love,...
