Ep #54: Managing a Quarter-Life Crisis
A few weeks ago, I shared an episode with you all about ways to manage a mid-life crisis. It turned out to be one of my most popular episodes of the podcast, but recently, I was reminded that mid-life does not corner the market on crises. One of my clients is a 25-year-old woman who’s…
Ep #53: Advice for the Empty Nester
For the first time in 28 years, I am officially an empty nester. In spite of thinking I had processed all the feelings because I’m very proud and excited that my youngest daughter is off to college and I’ve done this twice before, there was something profound about the empty nest experience that I didn’t…
Ep #52: Are You Making Yourself a Priority?
I’m always amazed at how many of us, myself included, habitually put ourselves on the back burner. We’re so good at prioritizing work, our spouse, kids, extended family, and friends, but seem to run out of time and energy when it comes to meeting our own needs. Like anything, the truth is putting ourselves last…
Ep #51: The Most Powerful Thought You Can Think
As many of you know, I spend a lot of time on the podcast talking about the power of your thoughts because this is the cornerstone of coaching. Coaches are like private trainers for your mind.

Celebrating our successes is another huge challenge for many…
Ep #49: 6 Ways to Manage a Mid-Life Crisis
Mid-life crises, as many of you know, typically show up for us between the ages of 40-60. They happen equally to both men and women, although not everybody experiences it. In fact, only 10% to 20% of the population goes through an official mid-life crisis, but we can all go through various degrees of what…
Ep #48: The Power of Your Thoughts
Summer is starting to quieten down, and while I appreciate the time for decompression, it’s interesting that I have a tendency to overthink when things get quiet. I’m sure you can relate. When we’re crazy busy, everything seems more normal, and we think we operate at our best when we’re juggling a lot of balls.…
Ep #47: How to Create More Time in Your Schedule
Time is a topic that comes up frequently in my client coaching sessions; specifically, the idea that there just isn’t enough of it. Sure, there are only 24 hours in a day, seven days a week, so you’re technically not wrong if you think time is finite. But then, how are there people in the…
