Pain and Why you should use it to Guide your Transformation
Last week I had three discovery sessions with sensitive Millennials who were feeling anxious, overwhelmed and slightly depressed. They all had either family members or a therapist suggest to them that they take anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication. This really pisses me off because not feeling your pain discounts your feelings as relevant and transformative information. I am not a doctor and I don’t claim to be one. That being said, I have been around a good while, helping many clients in pain and I have studied holistic health, the mind and the brain long before it became popular...
Read MorePerfectionism – The Secret Killer Of Creativity and Wealth
What unrealistic expectations will do to your life and business success Entrepreneurs and perfectionism don’t mix. I am so passionate about the topic of perfectionism because I think it is a nasty disease that’s growing as fast as diabetes in the United States and undermining your creativity, success and wealth. Just like diabetes, it can go undetected until there are real (life and business) health problems. When you start thinking that you are broken, that something is wrong with you, that you have bad luck, are not good, smart or worthy enough to have success and live a...
Read MoreHow Valuing Yourself is Magnetizing
Valuing your well-being and your desires is a key component to how others will perceive you. When you don’t take care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually others can feel it.

They just feel something isn’t right...

Read MoreAre you willing to Risk CHANGE to up-level your life?
After I got off the phone with my daughter Caitlin the other day I found myself reminded of the last time I made a really big change in my life. Knowing that my daughter didn’t have a job, many people kept asking her if she had found a new job yet. When she answered that she didn’t have one yet, the response often was “I would be so nervous to be without a job. Are you afraid you won’t find one soon?” As a result she started thinking that maybe she should be feeling anxious about the situation and so she did. When I decided to leave my husband ten years ago, I had a lot of family,...
