I Missed a Deadline (and I Didn’t Die)
Earlier this week, I got a note from my podcast editor asking if I had a new episode ready to edit. My immediate reaction was:“Wait. What?!”“Uh oh.”“Isn’t it due NEXT week?”You see, a new episode of The Overthinkers Guide to Joy drops every other Wednesday. That’s been the rhythm for years. I don’t miss deadlines. I…
Are You Tired Of Doing It All?
There’s a moment where you catch yourself loading the dishwasher “just so,” while quietly seething that no one else does it “right.” Or maybe you’re in the middle of planning a birthday party, buying a gift, throwing in a load of laundry, and wondering… why is it always me? Somewhere along the way, many of…
Got a Hobby (You Might Want One)
It was almost 25 years ago that I did something that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I picked up a hobby—my first real one. I wasn’t looking for transformation. I just wanted something fun. Something that had nothing to do with work or caretaking. Something that was just… mine. Some of you may know…
Permission to Say No (Even in Summer)
Summer Is the Season of Socializing In the last few weeks, I have attended more parties and dinners than I have in the past six months.

Stress is part of being human, but many of us are carrying more than our systems were designed to handle. Environmental stress. Emotional…
What If One Month Could Shift Everything?
What if you could change your energy, your outlook, or even your health in just one month? Did you know the two biggest reasons people don’t sign up for coaching? Time and Money. They worry they don’t have enough of either. But what if you could get the benefits of coaching without the long-term commitment?…
Are You Ready For Summer?
Hi friends, It’s summer, meaning the annual pressure to achieve a “summer body” is in full swing. And for what it’s worth, my summer body isn’t “ready” either. After my fun-filled trip to NYC, I came home with a few extra pounds in my carry-on bag. Okay, not literally—but metaphorically? And by metaphorically, I mean I was…
Feeling Blah?
Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a blah space. Not burned out. Not unhappy. Not even ungrateful. Just… in-between. The high of a joyful long weekend in NYC with my girls has worn off. The summer energy hasn’t quite landed. Mercury’s not even in retrograde—and yet, every piece of tech I touched last week…
