So it’s the beginning of January and all you see posted is, “New Year, New Me.” I don’t know why but this just doesn’t sit well with me. Is it the generalization that the “old” you isn’t good enough or that somehow something old should be replaced? That suddenly clearing the hard drive of our souls and […]
I often ask my followers and clients what topic they would like me to address, today’s suggestion came from close to home: My own daughter who is a mother of 3, faces the challenges of many parents, especially during the busy holiday season. First of all, that sweet little Christmas picture of everyone in matching […]
With the holidays now underway, I came to an interesting epiphany. While watching my daughter with her kids, my youngest son with his girlfriend, and playing a silly game of Twister with the grandbabies, I couldn’t help but reminisce about how quickly life goes by. I also realized how many shifts we go through. That’s […]
You may not think that just noticing something could be successful, or that it doesn’t feel productive. However, this is a VITAL and KEY step to changing anything in our lives! When I receive a phone call from a new client for coaching, I always say, “You already achieved your first goal! You called because […]
The most common question I am asked is, “What is a Life coach?” As a fairly new career “title”, there is much speculation about the effectiveness of Life Coaching. To add to the confusion, there are so many different niches in this category: Health, Business, Spiritual. In our everyday lives, we encounter much of the same things […]
What is the one thing we can never get back? Money? Relationships? Jobs? Time. Let’s start off by saying, this is not very “Lifecoachy” of me, but my biggest pet peeve is when someone wastes my time! We’ve all been there, right? You schedule a call and they don’t answer. You have a date and they stand […]
Today is Labor Day. After tossing and turning all night, at 3:30am, I decide to get out of bed. The mind is a curious thing. I lay in bed thinking, planning and trying to force myself to just shut down and sleep. My brain had other plans. I was thinking about my children, finances, my […]
Because I work from home 80% of the work week, my interaction with others is primarily through email and social media. A recent discovery I have made is the power of words in this arena. First, let me address something that I feel is an important virtue and character to have-the ability and decision to keep […]
When I started my Coaching business, I approached it with the intent of focusing on the psychology and understanding of why and how we make the choices we do in life: Why we repeat behavior, fail to understand ourselves and our worth. I took NLP courses, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and recently even a Forensic Psychology […]
I was recently in deep thought as I was doing yard work. While mowing, I ran into some bumps, some rocks, and places I had to push a little harder. Other areas were smooth and easy. I had to pull some weeds, plant some seeds, water my soil. Then I realized… this was just like […]
