I’m gonna let you in on a little secret…
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret… You know that suffering your experiencing…well, it’s directly related to your own interpretation of the situation. Huh? What? Listen. Here’s the deal: Our stories – our interpretations, conclusions and what we make things mean – keep us stuck and cause us pain. And your ticket to […]
Need to flex your dreaming and visioning muscles?
I did my first – totally impromptu – Periscope broadcast on Monday afternoon while I was out for a hike on the Rim Trail in Snowmass, CO. Earlier in the day as I watched my friend Gabby Bernstein broadcasting I noticed I had an authentic desire to as well! In that moment I made a […]
Are you stuck in self-sabotage and self-doubt?
Feeling that we’re not enough, or not good enough translates into the fear that we’ll never have enough. Fear of success and fear of failure are two sides of one coin, and our self-sabotage and self-doubt are self-fulfilling prophecies in which we unknowingly make damn sure we never, ever have all that we need. It’s […]
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
Whether it’s a marriage, relationship, job, geographical location – how do you know when it’s time to move on? When it came to my marriage, the truth is that our relationship had been crumbling for quite some time. I’d chosen to stay in such deep denial that it took an explosion of epic proportions to […]
Are You Living In Reaction or Taking Action?
Are you constantly responding to people, situations and circumstances coming at you? Do you wait for others to make decisions first and then just defer to their choices? Are you chasing gold stars?

Is it time for a graceful exit?
Every entrance is also an exit. Any major transition has the capacity to be a catalyst for rebirth. It’s up to us to allow in what is possible – whether blissful or challenging – and respond to it in a life-affirming way. The Graceful Exit (Step 9 in my Jump! Coaching Process) is a transitional […]
Bring Your Underlying Commitments Out of the Shadows
For eighteen years I thought I was committed to my marriage. But I’ve since discovered that what I was more committed to being indispensable. This drive kept me stuck in an unhealthy marriage, it overrode my own wants and needs, and had me abandon my own happiness. We all think that we’re going after what […]
Can you survive the fear of rejection and ask for help?
In April 2010, I was out to dinner with Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, and Reid Tracy after our “Speak, Write, Promote: Become a Mover and Shaker” event in Boston. Even though at that point I had been separated from my husband for three months, I had not revealed to Louise and Reid what was going […]
Are you listening?
I’m spending the night with myself for the first time in ages. Contrary to what some might believe, I’m an introvert and recharge by being alone. I actually crave hours on end without anyone else around. And I’m in a relationship with a man who has a strong need for connection, of course! When I used […]
