There's something magical about eating what you've grown with your own hands. One of my favorite summertime treats is a delicious homegrown tomato from one of my outdoor pots. With just a suburban deck, a minimal backyard and a desire for growing more, I'm discovering that d...

I was recently driving to meet a friend for lunch when a familiar sensation washed over me. As I pulled into the parking lot, I had that awkward realization of "Wait… how did I get here?"

Sure, I was technically present enough to navigate traffic and follow the route. But m...

You know that feeling when you're inspired to make a change, so you download three habit-tracking apps, set up multiple reminders, and create an elaborate system for accountability… only to feel overwhelmed and abandon ship two weeks later when your phone won't stop nagging ...

As a coach, your time and energy are valuable resources. But when your clients feel overwhelmed, lose motivation, or struggle to stay on track between sessions, progress can stall. Repeating the same steps, managing inconsistent processes, and trying to keep clients engaged ...

Remember when you first started coaching? That pure passion for helping others transform their lives? But now, you might find yourself caught in an endless cycle of fielding repeating requests and managing administrative tasks instead of doing what you love most – creating b...

I was blessed to get away for a vacation recently. About 3 days in, I began to recognize some frustration creeping up inside.  I first noticed it when my husband and I would be out walking - it didn't matter where... the pool, the lookout spot on our hike, and even on the wa...

It is 2024 and the start of another year. Many of us set out in the new year with goals, resolutions, vision boards, and so forth - all with the intent to welcome in change and transformation.  This year I decided to pull in CHANGE differently, mostly because I am tired of t...
