Manifestation
Eight years ago, my husband and I sold our home in Los Angeles to a couple who were engaged to be married. We were thrilled to sell our house to a couple starting their new life together, just as we did as newlyweds. We had never met them before we went into escrow, and I…

Work Harder, Play Harder
Do you remember building a fort with sofa cushions or jumping from one piece of furniture to another, pretending the living room carpet was hot lava?

Success Is Not Linear
This photo was taken about eight years ago on the set of Saturday Night Live. No, I wasn’t on the show or involved in it. I was there for a two-day NBCUniversal executive conference, and they thought it would be fun to hold it in Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center. I remember being in awe of sitting…

Over-apologizers are quick to assume everything is our fault, which is often a trauma…

I will admit that I am my own worst critic. This is true for most overachievers, people-pleasers, and perfectionists. But I wasn’t even aware of it until my friend and yoga teacher called me out for being too self-deprecating.

Ep #100: Why Are We So Hard On Ourselves?

I know I’ve experienced self-criticism, especially when it comes to perfectionism. Society expects us to always do well and emphasises achievement. We’re told to work hard and be resilient.
