These past months have been stressful for most, incredibly challenging for many, and really difficult for others. Some people wonder if things will ever get easy again. They will. Your life challenges will vary from cloudy days to full-on hurricanes. Over an entire lifetime, most of us will have many more sunny days than stormy ones, but when you are grieving or struggling with the challenges and disappointments in life it doesn't seem that way. During my life I have had a fe

"You don't eat dairy?" "Seeing anyone special?" "Have another glass of wine." "If you are a vegetarian, you'll never have enough protein." "FASTING! That's so dangerous." "Honey, we're worried about you." "WHY WOULD YOU QUIT YOUR JOB?" "When are you two getting married?" "When are you going to have a baby?" "Are you planning more children?" "Your spouse is not that bad, you should have stayed with them." In the US we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, and while your

If you check email all day long, read emails as soon as you wake up in the morning or right before bed, you're wasting precious time and missing out on new clients, more business, or the next big promotion. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STUCK HERE, but don't worry, I was stuck too and I figured it out. I've learned for myself that wasting time in an email in-box keeps you busy but also sends a person off track, and can keep us from focusing on the most important work. In this week's vi

I'm SO OVER meditation shaming! That's when women say things like, "I meditate for 30 minutes each morning at 5 am", and then her friend says, "Well, I meditate for 20 minutes TWICE a day, seven days a week." A third person chimes in and says "I do guided meditations twice a week with a guru from India." And everyone around them feels like a loser. The truth is that forcing an active woman to silence her brain is like asking her not to breathe. Quieting your mind, though, is

A lot of us spend our days surrounded by digital devices, and the benefits are pretty powerful. After all, digital technology allows us to accomplish things that our mothers and grandmothers could never dream of. I've noticed a trend where gurus and influencers advise to "detox" from digital devices and shut down social media accounts. Some experts suggest going from 1-90 days without tech, others suggest taking one or two days off each week. While I agree that boundaries aro

Today's topic: INDULGENCE--one of the most tricky forms of self-sabotage and procrastination.

As smart women, we do a lot of things to build our physical resilience. We drink water, take vitamins, get enough sleep, invest in herbs that build immunity, etc. Those are sensible choices that build physical immunity/resilience. But so many of us ignore the things that will increase emotional immunity/resilience. Why is this important? A woman who is exhausted, drained and depleted usually doesn't deal well with stress. If you want to be a woman who masters life and busines

Imposter Syndrome is what happens when girls and women believe what society has to say about them. Messages like these begin in childhood: -boys are good at math, girls enjoy reading more -being pretty is more important than being smart -being different is weird -people prefer girls who are quiet, helpful, thin, etc. -women are better at caregiving -girls are too emotional to be leaders -let someone smarter/stronger do that for you Even if we KNOW intellectually that these me
