You’ve set goals. You’re super psyched. And then you tell your family and friends about it and …

whomp whomp. 

Much to your surprise, they aren’t super psyched. In fact, they might even roll their eyes and say something like “here we go again” or “I’ll believe it when I see it.” 

And some may even get upset about your goals … because it could mean fewer nights out or changing up your family routine! 

It’s pretty normal for this to happen. 

In fact, it’s one of the top concerns I hear from n…

I love to focus on the positive!

Well, in this article I’m going to tell you how NOT to reach your goals this year.

Because there’s one big mistake you can make that can push you into a HUGE trap – and you’ll end up feeling frustrated, burned out, and like a quitter.

Here’s how it happens:

You set some HUGE goals for the New Year (yay!!!!). 

Starting NOW, you will finally get your you-know-what together.

You’ll drink  ALL the water … eat super-clean food (and journal every bite) … be extra…

Put This Formula on Repeat to Get Things Done

We all have that one thing (maybe more!) we are great at. 

  • Nailing that headstand in yoga class
  • Keeping our checking/savings accounts balanced
  • Home DIY projects or organization
  • Cooking a big meal

It’s true, you might have some natural talent for those things. But the reason you got “great” at them wasn’t because of the talent.

It was because you gave them your attention and energy. 

You also probably had some guidance (whether you know it or not!).

It could have been learning from a …

Anxiety aaron-blanco-tejedor-VBe9zj-JHBs-unsplash

Hope your day got off to a smooth start – especially because I want to talk to you about STRESS. We’re heading into a busy time of year with new schedules, etc. and I know a lot of you are feeling some pressure …


… and I also know a lot of you think you should just toughen up and “push through it”.


Spoiler alert: You can’t do it. That’s because stress isn’t all “in your mind.” It’s also in your body.


Your stress response system is a primal reaction... it’s hardwired into your system to …

Why I needed to shut down everything

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” – Anne Lamott

I have a story for you today about my overworked WIFI router. (Spoiler: this story really isn’t about my router. :) )


A couple of weeks ago my router was giving me major problems – among other things, some of my devices kept dropping their WIFI connections.


It was as if they WANTED to connect, but they just couldn’t.


I’d see the WIFI icon pop on and I’d start working, but then my laptop would suddenly starting buffering and it would fall back off – honestly it was driving me a little cr…

Nourishing Evening Routine

Bath taisiia-stupak-mWABE4JCUHI-unsplash

It’s amazing how one little habit and mindset shift can turn everything around.

I’ve shared a couple of stories recently about my personal experience with morning routines.

I thought it’d be a good idea to talk a little bit about my nighttime routine! Because it plays a huge role in my wellness.

As a life coach, some days are crazy busy, and they also can be pretty physically demanding.

And a lot of the time, I used to get to the end of the day feeling WIPED OUT.

I’m all about keeping it re…

Can you believe that we’re turning the corner into September!?

This is the perfect time to check in on how you’re doing with your 2021 goals for the year.

Are you where you’d hoped you’d be in terms of your progress … or are those goals a distant memory?

As we’ve taken a deep dive into aging this month, it can be pretty eye-opening to realize that your goals are about SO MUCH MORE than what size jeans you’re wearing.

Don’t get me wrong. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having weight- or…

You've probably heard that you can only get where you want to be if you know where you're going. How do you decide where you want to go, so you can get where you want to be?

Goals are crucial. When we set goals, we're bringing our lives in line with our overall vision for ourselves. Using a powerful vision-setting process can help you set more effective goals. With goals established, you can chart a course that will help you achieve your vision.
