Failure Is Not Your Enemy
Fun fact: I didn’t apply to medical school because I flunked an Organic Chemistry lab in my junior year. While that isn’t the entire story, it was the last straw. For years, I felt like a failure for not becoming a doctor. Eventually, I realized it didn’t matter to anyone else but me, and my “failure” was…
Spring: The Season of Reinvention
We just returned from visiting our three daughters in Oregon over the long weekend. And yes, it is a beautiful and weird coincidence that they all live within an hour of each other. We spent time together eating, drinking, laughing, walking and talking. It was awesome! But another unexpected delight of our trip was the early bloom of…
Time Management
Time management is a constant battle in today’s world. Even as I write this week’s newsletter, I am interrupted by texts, social media notifications, and emails popping into my inbox. Time Management and productivity are enormous challenges for my clients, too. But what if time was something you learned to manage better rather than it…
Reap the Rewards of Routine
As a coach, I work with both executives and entrepreneurs (writers, producers, and small business owners). For my executive clients, their schedules are dictated by their work hours and all that entails: Commuting, In-person or Zoom meetings, phone calls, emails, and then doing their actual jobs.

And where are you? On your couch, in your pajamas, questioning everything. That, my friends,…

How Do You Do Me Time?
I have been in tech hell this week. I won’t bore you with the gory details, but let me just throw out a few terms that I have been dealing with: DNS, DMARC, firewalls, 404 error codes, 502 error codes, and spam filters. Now if you’re tech-y, these might not seem so scary. But for…
Turn On The Music
Yesterday, I set the intention of spending one hour to work on editing a book I am working on. Unfortunately, that one hour turned into two. And the only thing that got done was a lot of scrolling, reading news headlines, and going down rabbit holes. One good thing that came out of my scroll-fest was finding this…
