Ep #45: Why Do We Repeat the Same Mistakes in Relationships?
One of my clients was asking me recently, “When I know someone is going to disappoint me, why do I let them back in, only to disappoint me again?” While she enjoyed his company, he was way too unpredictable, unreliable, and inconsistent to make for an acceptable boyfriend. Afterward, they were just friends, and she…
Ep #44: 6 Steps to Stop Enabling
Enabling is something that comes up in my coaching practice all the time. The most classic definition of enabling is: indulging someone’s habit or addiction.

Ep #39: 3 Pieces of Advice I Would Give My Teenage Self
When I was graduating from high school 40 years ago, I thought I had it figured all out. I had a solid life plan of pursuing my life-long dream of going to medical school, but my plan took a big detour. In fact, I took many detours in both my career and personal life over…
Ep #38: Lessons I Learned From My High School Reunion
I celebrated a big milestone this past weekend. I went to what I’ll call my 40th high school reunion, which wasn’t actually so much my high school reunion, given I didn’t go to school there. But you’ll hear more about the ins and outs of that story as you tune in. Even though this wasn’t…
