I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty easy for me to get caught up in the “what if” spiral. What if I make a mistake? What if they don’t like me? What if I end up looking like a total idiot? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don’t have enough [...]

I came across this flow chart the other day, and thought I’d share it, because it completely distills down the path to happiness into a very simple, executable process. Okay, I know it’s kind of silly, and maybe even simplistic. But I still think it’s brilliant. So simple, so straightforward. Though not necessarily easy. The [...]

I keep pondering the word gutsy. It should be no surprise that I spend a lot of time thinking about this word and what it means. After all, I have a tagline that says “helping gutsy women do cool things”. I’ve got a new group coaching program beginning in January called The 28 Day Gutsy [...]

I’ve been hard at work the last few weeks, putting the finishing touches on my upcoming e-course, The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge. It’s been a ton of work, tons of fun, super-challenging, and I had a fabulous group of beta-testers who blew me out of the water with their terrific feedback about the program. [...]

I don’t know about you, but getting back into the full-on swing of work after being on vacation does not go smoothly for me. It’s like trying to stand up straight and walk after spending ten hours cramped into coach on a transatlantic flight: everything is stiff and asleep, every movement is awkward and kind [...]

I often say that underneath every business challenge is a personal growth opportunity in disguise. And in related news: inevitably, the thing you think is the problem? It’s not the problem. It’s typically a symptom of something else, which is the real problem. Case in point: I was consulting with a potential client the other [...]

As you may or may not know, I like to cycle. I ride bikes when I can for exercise, for fun, for peace of mind, and for a challenge. And so last weekend, at the suggestion of my guy, I signed up to do a century ride, a century being 100 miles long. Now, I’ve [...]
