Just a quick note today, because my head is full. O-ver-flowing, I tell you! See, I just wrapped up with another group from The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge, which is always a bit of a bittersweet moment. Yay, it was awesome! Yay, women are getting gutsier! Being bolder! Speaking their truth! Doing courageous, brave [...]

One of the things I keep finding myself saying to my coaching clients is that there is no “there” to get to, the work is rarely “done” in terms of personal growth, changing habits, or being more of the person you want to be. We set off on a personal growth journey to learn something [...]

One of the things about being a coach is that at least for me, I think it’s really important to walk your talk. In other words, if I’m spending all this energy encouraging other women to be more courageous and gutsy, then I better be pushing my own edge of the envelope from time to [...]

I was in Santa Fe recently, taking a workshop called Transformational Speaking. I could probably write for weeks about the many things I experienced and learned while I was there, but for now I want to tell you about a particular piece that keeps resonating with me in my everyday life. One of the first [...]

I wish I knew what I did to shift things, or could tell you the one magic coaching solution I found that got me to the other side of a bad space I found myself in recently. See, I was in a deep, dark funk late last fall—felt completely incompetent, inadequate, dejected about the state [...]

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 don’t know about you, but I can get super-focused on making everything about some kind of accomplishment. I don’t just go for a bike ride, I have to ride 100 miles. Or I’ll ride my favorite route, and try to hit a personal best time for it. Or I’ll have a goal to write [...]

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 [...]
