First let me ask… How are you doing? When you sit down and think about where you are on the JOY meter are you hitting right there at a 10, or are you running on empty and coming in close to 0? I’ve been talking to women who have it all together on paper. Amazing […]

We need to talk about This Is Us. Specifically Beth. From the inception of the show, so many of us have been intrigued by Beth. Smart, witty, magical, national treasure. And although we saw her almost every week, we recently learned that we never actually saw HER. We didn’t know anything about her.But…we thought we […]

You are successful.You have no problem rolling up your sleeves and getting to work.You can burn the candle at both ends, then wake up and make sure the kids go off to school with a packed lunch. You know how to make money while taking care of family. You juggle all the things, and make […]

Last weekend, I spent some time bingeing on shows on Netflix and like so many of us out there fell in love with Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.

It simply said “Will you be my Goalfriend?” And I thought about how powerful that was. Not only the sentiment of asking someone, but the very idea of supporting someone else, keeping each other […]

  It’s the most wonderful time of year. You might assume that I’m talking about the Holiday Season, but the truth is— for me it’s because of the New Year. I’ve never been a fan of waiting until the New Year to start new goals. However, it’s almost impossible to be this close to the […]

With 25 days left in 2018 (!!!) it’s the time of year for goal-setting. You’ve probably been thinking about professional goals and financial goals and health goals and your business goals, but how often do you sit down and set goals around your own personal happiness? I whole-heartedly believe that joy is the essential ingredient. […]

When I used to work in an office, a woman in the next cubicle over sneezed a few times in a row. And then she apologized profusely. This smart, focused woman was literally apologizing for a bodily function that she had no control over. That job had a lot of silly rules (I’m looking at […]
