Strengths and Weaknesses

As a child we have moments when we “know” we are going to have the world all figured out when we get older (like 18 or so), we will find our place in it, and we will know all we need to know. Then we get older…  Reality is a much bigger story and filled with so much more uncertainty.…

To the Future

Most of the notices we are seeing now remind us to be thankful for all that we have and certainly we do have great abundance.

True Success and Mental Health

This past weekend I keynoted as a speaker for the Killingworth Women’s Organization’s Health and Wellness Expo on issues related to domestic abuse. Although the title was Real Women Change the World: Letting the Good Girl Die So the Real Woman Can Live, after one of my books, the topic truly was on Mental Health. As shown when a male…

The Oddest Thing

As a speaker and/or coach, I am frequently asked to be a guest on a podcast, TV or radio show, or to be part of a summit. This year I was blessed to be a part of a summit sponsored by Alison Palmer, and her Full Circle Women organization.  As a woman who has worked to support both men and…
