The Power of Being Small
One of my clients this week asked me about my experience of a recent trip to Scandinavia—what it was like for me. He had been on a similar trip years ago, and I sensed he was accessing those memories all over again through our conversation. I shared there was something …

How Sadness Can Move You Forward
Grief has found me and I’m trying to ignore it. I’m back from the trip of a lifetime—an EPIC adventure with my family to Scandinavia that we’d been planning and looking forward to for months. Now it’s over and I feel like I can’t complain because who does that after …

Don’t Know What You Want? Read This.
12 years ago I had this deeply embarrassing moment. It was unsightly, unseemly, shameful… AND it was a turning point in my life—one that plugged me back into one of my favorite things ever. Bottom line: I was super jealous—like green-eyed monster jealous—of one of my friends. Let’s call her …

If You Give a Woman an Inch…
I came out of my office this morning and discovered someone had parked in my Jeep, leaving just a few inches of space between my bumper and theirs. You might not know this about me, but being from New Jersey ‘n all, parallel parking is something of a superpower of …

The Invitation of Spring Equinox
Change is in the air and it’s building toward a crescendo as we roll toward another equinox on March 20 (sidenote: don’t you feel like the solstices get all the glory?). For me, the equinoxes are where sh*t gets interesting with a crackling energy that is sometimes hard, sometimes exciting, …
