If you’re someone who’s struggled with setting (and maintaining) boundaries, then the idea that you might be able to share your needs without anxiety, disappointment or disagreement feels impossible. At least, that’s how it was for me. For most of my life, I was a people-pleaser. The thought of sharing my needs with another seemed […]

Did you know that I never meant to be a life coach? In fact, I thought I had already landed my dream job when I became the Event Director at Hay House. What could be more rewarding than the opportunity to share some of the greatest thought leaders with the world through the events I […]

Making Peace with Your Past You tell your friends that you’re over it. That you’ve moved on and that the past no longer matters. Yet, you still can’t seem to let go of the pain after a loss or break-up. You can feel the anger bubble up and take hold when you least expect […]

Does the idea of putting yourself first feel unimaginable? A little like a fairy tale made up by someone who has no idea what it’s like to live your life? When I first meet clients, the thing I most often hear is that they’d LOVE to put themselves first, it’s just that their life […]

Each of us has daily rituals. Some of our rituals began when we were very young – handed down from our parents or adopted along the way. We brush our teeth, we drink coffee, we might go for a daily walk or meditate each morning. We may even have a favorite chair or sleep with […]

There’s a transformation that happens when you go from being single to falling in love and getting into a relationship that’s often overlooked. And I’m not talking about how the world suddenly looks brighter and you feel like you’re one of the “lucky” ones. No, I’m talking about the stance you take on your […]

It seems obvious that self-confidence might be a necessary ingredient for greater happiness and personal satisfaction. But according to Psychology Today, self-confidence is the essential ingredient when it comes to living a happy life. It’s tied to reducing fear and anxiety, and creating the resiliency to handle life’s rocky moments. So, why is it that […]
Do You Really Still Need Permission?

Why is it that we need permission to put ourselves first? It’s as if we’re walking through life on autopilot, waiting for someone to tell us that it’s ok to have what we want and enjoy life. Or we stuff our needs down so far, and for so long, they can’t help but bubble to […]

Louise Hay, founder of Hay House, motivational author and dear friend, once told me that I deserved an Academy Award for my portrayal as the “perfect wife.” Together, my husband and I had managed to build a strong façade for the outside world of the perfect couple. I thought everyone must look at our […]
