I get a kick out of being your catalyst. Read why...
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 [...]
Thank you. Yes, I’m talking to you. You, my biggest fan, my eternal cheerleader, my sounding board, my shoulder to lean on, my fiercest critic, my loyal reader, my constant support system. My friend, my client, my colleague, my cohort. I am so grateful for you. You are there for me, thick and thin, giving [...]
Every year, about this time, I like to reflect back on the year drawing to a close, and do some intention-setting around the year ahead. I’m not exactly a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but that being said, I think there is great value in spending some time consciously envisioning what lies ahead and what [...]
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 [...]
Lately, I’ve found that there is magic and possibility in two little words. These two words have the power to unstick me like WD-40, to take me from indecision to action, to move me from paralyzed by too many choices to picking one thing and rolling with it. Those two magic words are “for now”. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
