All About Life
If you’re like most of my clients, having the energy to do what it is you want to accomplish is key. When you don’t feel like you have the energy you want, you may revert to stimulants like coffee or sugar, which may work for a while, but the eventual slump hits and you’re back in the darn loop again. …
Do you ever find yourself in front of a challenge, or unwanted conversation, or conflict and you just want to run? Your mind feels scattered, you can’t come up with solutions and your body is ready for fight or flight or freeze! I know those situations feel horrible and most often you want to avoid them. But avoidance doesn’t ever …
“What is the path of meditation? Your present-moment experience. What is your curriculum? Your life, as it is. Not somebody else’s life, not your ideal life – your life.” ~Will Kabat-Zinn I love this quote from Will Kabat-Zinn, a Mindfulness teacher out of San Francisco.

When I got clear that that is where I love to live everyday, my life got more interesting and fun. I want to invite you to do something similar. Whether this …
Habits are hard to change. I know. In some ways, I love my routines and rituals because they make me feel cozy, secure and happy. But when they turn into habits that no longer serve me, I am faced with learning how to let them go. Over the years, I’ve managed to put together I few steps that really work …
As a longtime meditator, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the value of taking time to pause during a busy day in a formal and intentional way. Most recently I took a second look and I wanted to share a distinction with you that I think makes a difference. Let’s say you’re having one-of-those-days. We know that …
Given that I’m a Coach specializing in transformation, you can imagine that I hear a lot of stories around impossibility. Statements like: “I’ve read all the books, listened to all the audios and I just can’t focus my mind!” “I’ve done all the programs and I just can’t lose the weight.” Or, “I’m great at losing the weight for a …
