My Name Is Nancy, And I Am Not Perfect
I know it sounds irrational. If I’d stopped to really think about it, I would have realized that what I expected of myself was unrealistic. But I was operating on automatic pilot, and I was attached to the belief that I could somehow do it all without anyone ever seeing my weaknesses. Somewhere deep in […]
More on Setting Boundaries
This week my Jump! Coaching Group continues to work on boundaries. As I shared last week, setting just one new boundary can make a profound impact, and help us to develop the courage to set more. Many of us have an interior dialogue – I call mine the “inner critic crawl” like the lines that run […]
Setting Just One New Boundary
As you may have read in my book, I had absolutely no idea how to set boundaries prior to finding my way through my divorce. Most of us don’t know how to set them. We’re taught to put others ahead of ourselves. (This is especially true for women, but there are plenty of men who […]
Begin With One Different Choice
When we first begin making different choices–even one different choice–and start taking back control of our lives, it initially feels like we are losing control. We are often outside our comfort zones We seldom have any idea what to expect from the future Eventually, if we persevere, we learn that it’s an illusion to think […]
Can You Imagine Yourself Free?
In June, the courageous women in my Summer 2014 Jump! Coaching Group have taken the first three steps in my 10-Step process with Jump … And Your Life Will Appear! It has not always been easy – but it has been somewhat magical! – to feel the space opening in our internal worlds as we are no […]
Want More Energy? Take Off The Mask
The brave women in my Summer 2014 Jump! Coaching Group are bonding, growing, and realizing their own strength and courage. Last week we took Step 2 and began telling our truth to someone safe. While we’re each other’s “someone safe” here in our group, many were also able to confide in the people they’d designated […]
Let Your Body Be the Barometer of Your Truth
“Truth is visceral. You can feel it in your bones….in the core of your being, it is there.” Last week, thirteen extremely brave women embarked on a journey of courage and truth together. On Tuesday, June 10th, my Summer 2014 Jump! Coaching Group Program began with the first step toward a new life, admitting what […]
Are You Committed to Your Non-Negotiables?
Although I’m an early riser and definitely a morning person, I’ve never been a roll-out-of-bed-and-go kinda girl. I like to take my time…to ritualistically have my coffee, write in my journal, look out my big picture window at Boulder Creek and the Rocky Mountain Foothills (when I’m actually home, that is.) Even if I have […]
Making Lasting Change in a Safe Space
Are you consciously relating the present to the future? Where we are today is a culmination of the choices and decisions we’ve made, and actions we’ve taken, up to now. If we don’t change what we are doing now, nothing will be different in the future. This is motivating. When we begin with new choices […]
Writing For My Life on Protection Island
When I met Margaret Geaney in Maui this past January at Hay House’s Divine Love seminar with Wayne Dyer and his special guests Anita Moorjani and Immaculée Ilibagiza, I had no idea what was in store for me by my willingness to say “Yes!” to this charming lady. Margaret told me that her book group […]
