She Survived Her Own Death. Here is What I learned.
Our entire lives, we are building a sand mandala, and at the end of our lives, it will all be washed away.
Why do we hurt others? We need to off-load our own pain.
A couple weeks ago, I had a moment with my son that I was not proud of, and I felt it really necessary to share with my readers, as it directly relates to what I preach; a what NOT do moment, if you will. You see, I spend most of my time with the people coming...
Whatever you do, don’t be “cool”.
My husband jokes still joked about how different I am now from the woman he met fifteen years ago in our graduate acting program at Rutgers University, and I recount what I told him at that time. “I may be a mess now, but I’m going to be amaaaaaazing in my 30’s," I...
The Naked Truth About Your Dream Life

The 4-Phases of Any Transformation
During ANY change process, there are four distinct stages. This is often called the “learning matrix,” “the four stages of learning” or the “conscious competence ladder.” Just because we have the knowledge or the awareness of how to start to change, doesn’t mean we are super proficient yet at implementing that knowledge into aligned action or belief. We need practice. Lots of it.

The Goal is Not the Point.

Your Ego is Awesome. Here’s Why.

You Don’t Need a “Spiritual Practice”

This is Not a Moment to “Get Through”
I know deep down that I’m yearning to find a way to articulate the last four months of my life since my second baby was born but I’m unsure what to write about or how to speak it. It is like trying to describe the sun and the darkness all at the same time and my mind...

The Key to Ending Obsessive Thought
One of the most powerful realizations I have ever experienced is that I am not my thoughts, I am not my feelings but that I am the observer of my thoughts and my feelings. Marianne Williamson uses the example of a lamp in a home to illustrate this. She says most...
How to Let it Go (When You Want Something REALLY Bad)

The Secret Gift in Your Emotional Eating
For many years, I saw my issues with food as something to deal with and overcome. They had been with me for as long as I could remember and like many people, I carried them like a shackle of shame. Like so many others, my patterns with food started innocently enough...

When it is Better to Stop Trying So Hard
I got schooled at the gym this week. I was taking my usual weekly strength class and at the end of class the teacher marched right up to me and said: “What are you doing girl?” Now, imagine a 60-year old G.I. Jane (without the buzz cut) and you have my weekly teacher,...

It’s Not “Loving” to Let Others Pull Their Crap

Look For the Healers (because they are everywhere).

You Will Be Summoned Into Fear. Learn to love it.
Recently, on a phone call with a participant in my group life-coaching program, I heard myself blurt something out that I wasn’t expecting. “It’s time to do the thing that scares you the most!” Now, I know this may seem pretty cliché, especially for a life-coach, so...
I Haven’t Worked Out in 19 Months (and why that’s a good thing)
So, here is the God’s honest truth. I’m a health coach and I haven’t worked out in almost 19 months (and if you are counting, my son is 17 months), so you may have some clue as to why. To some of you, that may not be a big deal, but as someone who talks to people day...

It’s Time. Say Goodbye to What Could Have Been.
Sometimes, during the course of working with someone, I notice they start to get really sad. And not for the reasons you may think. It is not because they are failing or letting themselves down. It isn’t because anything “bad” is happening at all. Quite the opposite!...
Life Is Designed to Stretch (Not Validate) Us
Recently, while having a conversation with a client, I wound up having a personal “aha’ (this often happens, by the way). In this particular conversation, my client was sharing two really cool and unexpected opportunities that had recently presented themselves. Both...
How to Open Your Heart (when you want to taste blood)
