Inspiration From The Emmys
Inspiration can come from anywhere. As a person who greatly admires creativity, achievement, and perseverance, I am always on the hunt for inspiration. I find inspiration in people’s stories. It’s why I love memoirs and autobiographies. It’s, also, why I love being a coach. But sometimes inspiration comes in unexpected places too. A few weeks ago, I…
May You Be Happy

Negativity Bias
Do you ever find yourself having a perfectly good day? The sun is shining, you have been super productive, and you are feeling energetic and generally positive.

Golden Globes
I haven’t been to the Golden Globes since my last year as a television executive in 2016. That was the year when “Mr. Robot” won Best Drama Series, and I was honored when the show’s creator, Sam Esmail, gave me a shout-out. The Globes is a wonderful mixture of the most celebrated stars from television, movies, and music, and…

In other words,…
Are You Living Your Life On Purpose?
At the age of 35, I was a television executive, a wife, and a mother of two children under the age of five. I made a good living, had a nice home, and even had a fancy car. But with those privileges came a lot of responsibilities. I had tremendous stress in my job, a mortgage, car payments, lots of…
Are You Throwing In The Towel In December?
Well well well or Ho Ho Ho, it’s already December! And that means we are wrapping up the year and getting ready for the last leg of the holiday season. I know many people love this time of year. They look forward to the decorations, the lights, the food, the shopping, the parties, seeing family, and possibly…
The 5 Types of Perfectionists
I don’t know about you, but the holidays really bring out my inner perfectionist. I am not even making Thanksgiving dinner this year, thanks to my brother David who will be hosting it again. But in years past when I did host it, I would always wake up in the morning with body aches… like…
