Creating More Time
What is your relationship with TIME? Do you feel like you manage IT? Or does it manage YOU? Time is one of our most valuable commodities, and yet we often feel like we have no control over it. We THINK we don’t have enough of it because we are overworked or over-committed. We feel buried…
Ep #47: How to Create More Time in Your Schedule
Time is a topic that comes up frequently in my client coaching sessions; specifically, the idea that there just isn’t enough of it. Sure, there are only 24 hours in a day, seven days a week, so you’re technically not wrong if you think time is finite. But then, how are there people in the…

Are You An Enabler?
In the past, I have been accused of being an enabler. It’s often a habit that comes from being a people pleaser and a peacekeeper.

Sometimes it shows up as doing things for…
Ep #44: 6 Steps to Stop Enabling
Enabling is something that comes up in my coaching practice all the time. The most classic definition of enabling is: indulging someone’s habit or addiction. But the interesting thing about it is how many different faces it has. We think of drug, alcohol, or gambling addictions, but enabling applies to any situation where you’re helping…
