Why do you have to be so different? Are you really THAT happy? Could you not laugh so much, please? Will you please lower your voice? Why do you change jobs so often? When are you going to get married? Are you sure you want to give that baby formula? When are you going to have more children? Why do your kids go to a different school?

In today's video, I'm sharing my best tips for getting through tough times in your most important relationships. I got this advice years ago and use it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Today is equal payday. We still have a gap in how much women earn compared to men, especially in Corporate America. I'm not one of those people who complain that corporations don't value women, I don't put my energy there. Instead, I tend to focus on how you value yourself, how much you charge, and how to ask for and expect to be paid for the value you offer.

If you want to make a change in your life, but are waiting for someone else to do something to make the change easier, you may be stuck in a job or relationship far longer than necessary.

My advice...not all relationships were meant to last a lifetime, so stop trying to force that. If yo

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

Want to interrupt those thought patterns?

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

Hi Friends! You all really enjoyed the personal branding tips I recently shared about updating your voice mail message.

Question: When is the last time you listened to your voice message greeting? When I'm helping my clients boost their brand, this is one of the first things I have them fix.

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed my clients looking for reasons and excuses about why they are who they are and why they do what they do. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've done this myself. 🙃 Many years ago I paid someone for an evaluation and was disappointed when the evaluation was positive. 😳 I think we've been conditioned as women to always assume that things are not right and always our fault. 😕 THAT. IS. NOT. TRUE. 💯 Tune in to this week's Monday Morning Mastermind to hear

This week's video topic for Monday Morning Mastermind is PROCRASTINATION.

When you're called on to do big things, fear will often creep up and show itself in the form of procrastination and common excuses. When it comes to your big ideas and plans that you keep putting off, tell me: WHAT EXCUS

This week we're talking about DRAMA. Drama at work is a total time waster and energy depleter, and drama at home is robbing you of time, making happy memories and peace. DRAMATIC behavior usually comes from either the need to be in control of things or a resistance to change. So, no wonder the drama-meters are positively exploding right now! If you're struggling with being over-reactive, extra sensitive, or work/live with someone who is, these 4 tips will help. The most impor

Most of the time I'm asked to talk about topics like productivity, conflict, and communicating with confidence, but chapter 9 of my newest book, Women, LEAD! is about living with intention. It was one of the easiest chapters I've ever written. We don't often talk about living with intention, but here is what I've learned. When we stop living our lives in a reactive and responsive mode, we can finally enjoy a life that we don't need a vacation from. People ask me how to live a

When a person looks over an entire lifetime, most often the sunny days outnumber the stormy ones. When you’re in the midst of a life storm, though, it can seem like the sun will never shine again. I’ve had my share of life storms. I experienced poverty, the tragic death of a brother, the demise of my parent’s marriage, relocation, estrangement, bullying, and sexual assault before I left high school. By the time I was thirty I had bounced back from workplace sexual harassment,
