What do you really want to do, pivot away from or start over with? If there is something, I would encourage you to “purpose your passion”. We can let fear or perfection get in our way of something that we are truly passionate about. In life, by pursuing our passion, we align our work with [...]
When is the last time you said goodbye? Maybe it was this morning before you left the house or maybe…you need to say goodbye to something you don’t love. You shouldn’t feel bad about saying goodbye to things you don’t love but think of it as loving yourself! We often need to “let go” in [...]
Let’s talk this week about self-awareness. Self-awareness is realizing that there is no opponent – you’re fighting against yourself. But you need to be self-aware so that you can recognize and understand your thoughts, your emotions and your patterns. By doing this, you will be able to address those internal conflicts and the behaviors that [...]
As I was reflecting the past few days as we entered 2026 and writing my next blogs/articles, I came across the things that we should all “quit”. Let’s talk about them in more detail. Pleasing everyone – you should prioritize yourself as that will lead to healthier relationships, your personal growth and emotional well-being. Fear [...]
WOW…I can’t believe that 2025 is over and that we almost in 2026! Whenever a New Year comes around, I like to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the next year (note that I did not say resolutions). I have talked before about how having an intention will help you move the [...]
I LOVE pretty much all Christmas Movies! But one of my favorite stories is the story of A Christmas Carol. Did you know that this was originally a novella (short story) written by Charles Dickens in 1943? If you have never read the novella, I would highly recommend that you do! The story always gets [...]
I found out recently about a situation that happened to a friend of mine. Have you ever had someone put in writing negative comments about you? Should we put in writing things about other women and then share them with others? Is doing that truly “constructive criticism” or just plain mean? When we put [...]
We all want to be liked; it is truly a fundamental aspect of human nature. The need to be liked is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history and social psychology. But why do we crave approval from others? Why do we need social acceptance? Social connection is one of the biggest reasons since we [...]
I have been known to say to someone that your "actions speak louder than words.” I had a friend say congratulations to me about something big that was happening to me…but I could tell they didn’t really mean it, both in the tone in which they said it and what came later in their [...]
Last week, I touched on the topic of authenticity, and if you know me, you know I could go on about it! Have you ever noticed a friend acting differently when their significant other is around? I've encountered many such situations, and my husband and I often joke about how we remain the same, [...]
I'm excited to kick off this new series on "Women Supporting Women," which holds a special significance for me due to some personal experiences over the past year. There are moments when we must part ways with groups or individuals, especially when we feel our authenticity isn't being acknowledged. After fulfilling my responsibilities, I [...]
Instead of a newsletter, last week I put a poll out on LinkedIn about “Women Supporting Women” and would like to share the results. The question was: While we value honest voices, being truly authentic – sharing what we genuinely think and feel – can sometimes create tension, especially when others may not be [...]
Do you know what you want? Have you really thought about it? The more specific you are with what you want, that career goal, that financial plan, or the energy you want in your relationship, the more easily things align in your favor. I think that there are many reasons to be clear in [...]
Last week I talked about breast cancer and how it changed me. I talked about support, but I want to spend more time this week talking about supporting each other. Whether you are currently undergoing a breast cancer journey or another type of journey (health, family or anything), having a support system is key. [...]
Over the past several years, I have been very open about my breast cancer journey in 2015. I can’t believe that it has been over 10 years since I experienced this “blip on my radar”. But it is way more than a “blip on my radar” and instead is something that has profoundly changed [...]
Peter and I are about to celebrate our anniversary. Whenever I get to another anniversary, I am always thankful but more than that, I think about how lucky we are to have each other. But having been married for 39 years this year, I also think about all the hard work it took to [...]
So last week we talked about taking the time to plan and reflect at least quarterly. So let’s talk about some of the other things that we should consider and update as we plan our success in life! First, what are your dreams? Do you have personal dreams? Write them down including both personal [...]
We are getting close to the end of the quarter and then just have one more quarter in 2025, so let’s take a review of our planning. First of all, do you plan? Do you plan what you want to accomplish on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis? Or do you just [...]
“The bloom may be brief, but the memory of its beauty will last a lifetime.” – Doe Zantamata I love flowers…every kind of flower in bloom makes me happy. So how is our life like a flower blooming? To me that blooming flower symbolizes growth, beauty and resilience. When a flower blooms it represents [...]
