If you start to lose your way, your motivation, and you begin to question yourself, your work, your being -- what brings you back? What do you do to remember?  I ask because recently, I began to question and began to doubt.  I felt the questioning of "what am I doing" and "why am I doing this" begin to creep back in. Read More

No matter who you are-- superman or supermom or whatever, the truth of the matter is that traveling on planes with young children SUCKS.  Unless you are one of the super lucky ones and your children fall asleep at any given moment in any given place...then plane rides are fun because you get peace and quiet, cuddles with a sleeping baby, and time to do nothing but read or watch movies (THAT sounds amazing by the way).  Read More

Today was my daughter's last day of school and as I sit here on the brink of summer, I can't help but reflect on how fast time is going by, and also how much has happened over the course of the past year.  It was a BIG year for us.  Read More

Yesterday, I met an inspiring woman - she is a true healer.  Her name is Julia and she runs a meditation lifestyle studio in a town near by called Jolie.  She holds workshops, classes, teaches rowing for fitness, yoga, and does meditation sessions.  She is an inspiration to me, because she said that 10 years ago, she started out just doing one-on-one sessions (the way that I am starting my health coaching practice) and eventually built up over time to the point where she could open a center (which is what I want to do in the future).  Read More

I've realized that I am an organized person in that I like things to be laid out and neat, but I don't like to actually do the work to get organized.  Does that make any sense?  I feel a ridiculous amount of stress (most of it likely unwarranted stress) when things are stuck in my head and not laid out in paper in front of me.  For example, all the things that go into running my business.  Read More

Space is a funny thing.  For so many people, it's all about taking up less space (i.e., with their body mass being smaller), and yet at the same time, wanting to take up more space (i.e., with their accomplishments and their possessions - more toys, more cars, more home, more things...).  Space can be a source of stress if the space around you is cluttered and disorganized, or it can be a source of calm and peace if it's filled with the people and the things you love, and is organized in a way that makes you happy.   Read More

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in NYC with a group of amazing women as part of the Rockstar Collective, Robyn Youkilis' high-level coaching program.  The amount of personal development, learning and experiences that were packed into the weekend were incredible.  Read More

I've mentioned this in a past post, but for the past 77 days (plus some because I have to count the Sundays in the past 3 months), I have been following a workout program called 80 Day Obsession by Beachbody.  I wanted to dedicate some time today to write about the things I have learned over the last 77 days.  Read More

As a mother, you probably would give anything for your child(ren), no matter how much it hurts sometimes.  Last night, my 4 year old daughter came to us in the middle of the night, scared and crying, saying she had a bad dream.  My first instinct was to bring her into bed and let her snuggle with me on my pillow until she felt better and hopefully we could all go back to sleep.  Read More

I've read many times that establishing and maintaining a morning practice can make a huge difference in your life, but I have yet to actually implement one, until today.  People have different versions, and the key is that you have to find what works for you because the main goal is to be consistent with it everyday.  That's always been hard for me first thing in the morning.  Read More
