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…
Feeling Off? Me Too.
Lately, I’ve been noticing a certain malaise in the air. A general funk. Everyone I’ve talked to—friends, clients, even myself—has been feeling off. Maybe it’s the aftermath of Tax Day. Or the post-Spring Break slump. Or Venus in retrograde (which, for the record, I don’t fully understand—but it sounds like a solid excuse). Whatever the…

Simplify Your Life and Stress Less
Let me start with a confession: Traveling gives me anxiety. Specifically, the packing part. For someone who preaches simplicity, you’d think I’d have this one nailed. But no.

Several friends and clients have told me, “Now that the holidays are over, I need something to look forward to.” January is the middle of winter, and whether you…
Are You Riding the Holiday Emotional Rollercoaster?
The holidays bring a sparkle of celebration—but for many, this season also amplifies feelings of loss. Whether it’s the first holiday without someone you love or just a season that stirs deep emotions, it’s okay to feel both joy and grief. As the poet Khalil Gibran wrote, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,…
Do You Believe in Luck?
I hate to admit that I have always been a little superstitious. I “knock wood” when I share a piece of good news. I don’t walk under ladders. I always say “Bless you” when someone sneezes. And I believe in luck. I make wishes on dandelions. I carried a rabbit’s foot in the third grade. I have had…
Reinvention
Change is an inevitable part of life, and we must adapt to it like we do to the changes in weather and seasons. When I retired from the television business six years ago, I spent a year figuring out my next chapter. After I discovered coaching, everything clicked into place. So, in my mid-50s, I embarked on a…

One Little Trick to Help You Sleep Better
I have always struggled with sleep. When I was younger, my issue was falling asleep. I would crawl into bed and the “spinning” would begin.
