Do you keep saying YES to people who ask you for your time and talent even though you have no time to help them? Do you feel exhausted and depleted but still allow yourself to volunteer for more work or additional responsibilities? Do you continue to do work, homework, housekeeping, and errands for people who should be doing these things themselves? This will NEVER contribute to your abundance. For most of my life, I said yes to every request. Let's face it, high-functioning

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

This week, I have a new list for you to make. ✔︎ ✔︎ ✔︎ When I faced my own toleration list several years ago, the results were a huge improvement on my productivity and happiness. When I began to address the little things that were annoying me, it gave me the space to take on bigger challenges. Will you give this strategy a try? Enjoy this week's episode of Monday Morning Mastermind with helpful tips on addressing tolerations: If you decide to make this list for yourself, typ

If you think that I'm lucky or that I work really hard to enjoy success, then you may be struggling with RESISTANCE to your own success. If that is the case, this is an easy fix. Whenever I hear that "success is hard work", or that things have to "get tough before they get better", that makes me crazy! I 100% DISAGREE!

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

When it comes to visibility, I prefer you be more in-demand than more visible. If you are like some of my clients and have been saying things like this: Should I be on Tick-Tok? I need to do more Insta-Reels and Stories! I don't have a clubhouse following, HELP! My Facebook page needs more followers. I need to create a business page on LinkedIn I should blog more often. then please watch this week's episode of Monday Morning Mastermind before you "should" yourself with anythi

Having your work or ideas copied is very frustrating. When this happens (it will), you will find yourself feeling surprised, hurt, betrayed, even embarrassed and upset with yourself. Whether it's your original creative works or an idea stolen by a coworker, being betrayed in this way can derail a woman emotionally for days or weeks. This has happened to me a number of times and that glib saying "Well, you must be worth copying" never makes me feel better. Since YOU would nev

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

One of the most valuable resources I offer is my list of phrases with what to say when you are interrupted, talked over, or bullied in a meeting or conversation. Take a look at this week's episode for some ideas on how to handle these types of challenges, and save some time (or hurt feelings) this week: If you have a copy of my recent book, Women, LEAD!, you can find the 2 lists on pages 110 and 111, or get copies below.

I know you. You have a huge list of things to do and even though you are accomplishing some important things, you're completely focused on what you DON'T get done. If you spend a lot of time: -criticizing yourself -beating yourself up -making unrealistic demands of yourself -setting ridiculously high expectations and -being very hard on yourself, then please watch this week's Monday Morning Mastermind episode. This is a replay from 2020, mid-pandemic, when I taught 3 strategi

Hesistation, fear, avoidance, delay, holding back, resisting dreams and goals. We all do it. If you trace back the reason for your resistance, you may find it correlates with a painful or shame-filled experience or memory. Tune in to this week's episode of Monday Morning Mastermind to get the whole story: If you find yourself embarrassed, ashamed, or feeling not perfect enough, please don't go into resistance mode as I did. I avoided speaking professionally for more than 2

During my Leadership Academy for Women Course, one of the most popular workshop segments is when the participants take a leadership assessment and discover their core personality strengths and preferred communication styles. Most of them obsess over their areas of weakness for weeks following. It's very important to really understand who you are and how you operate. This knowledge is really helpful in helping you find success at work and in your personal relationships. BUT, i

As we ease back to work, I'm noticing women who are slipping back into reactive, frantic, and chaotic pre-pandemic habits. The last thing I want is to see you immersed in drama and feeling overstressed, over-committed and exhausted. Today I have one challenge for you. Can you let go of controlling every detail and trust others to do the work? If you are used to doing all the work, accepting all responsibility, and being the one person in complete control, this may be a strugg

Happy Monday, friends! Lately, I've noticed a lot of the following issues with the women I've been working with: ➡︎ Overthinking ➡︎ Worrying ➡︎ Over-planning ➡︎ Pre-planning for problems ➡︎ Expecting that things will not work ➡︎ Worrying what people will think ➡︎ Judging yourself harshly ➡︎ Drama at work or at home Does any of this seem familiar to you? The truth is that when I am working with clients who have big goals, set new intentions, or want to make changes in their li

Hello friends, I know that many of you are enjoying a special holiday today.

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. I see this happening with women who are making GREAT progress on their projects, then suddenly distract themselves with all sorts of moral licensing. (Example: I've been working very hard, so I will take a week off, I deserve it.) In this week's video, I have some tips on how you can recognize and reprogram this habit. While I highly recommend that you indulge and pamper yourself oft

Today I am telling you to plan a party, and I don't care if it's in person or virtual, that's your choice.
