We all bemoan how quickly time flies and at THIS EXACT MOMENT we are at the midpoint of 2025. This also means that HALF THE YEAR IS AHEAD...

I recently got back from a wonderful and challenging 2-week vacation in Greece. The wonderful part is obvious, but challenging? Yes....

If you find that you’re feeling stuck, or perhaps in a place of emotional and/or physical pain, perhaps there is something in your story that you have not fully excavated or understood. In my case, a recent traumatic experience opened the door to chronic pain and a commitment to understanding my full story.

Do you ever wish you could tap back into the 20-year old you and navigate life with the carefree confidence you did then? Ever wonder what the heck is wrong with you? Should't I be more confident at this stage of life? You're not alone and you're not crazy. It is harder. All those decades of experience may serve you in some ways, but they've also...

After coaching hundreds of people through their challenges and transitions, I've come to realize (and truly internalize) that your happiness doesn't depend on that thing or person “out there”. Your happiness is your job alone. And it's an inside job.

Want to live a longer and healthier life? Chances are you can. According to Yale researcher Dr. Becca Levy, the WAY YOU THINK about aging impacts both the quantity and quality of the years you have remaining on this planet. In fact, she shares that those that have a positive view of aging are likely to live 7.5 more years than their pessimistic counterparts.

As I write this, the stock market is tumbling, LA is reeling from devastation and we’re experiencing more political change and uncertainty than we can easily wrap our heads around. Much of the heaviness is visible but some ⎼ our own personal battles ⎼ are invisible, hidden beneath brave faces and casual “I’m fine” responses.

I’m reaching out today to share something important ⎯ It’s okay to start the year off slowly. In fact, it’s more than okay. Right now there is a lot in the world that feels overwhelming and heavy and the pressure to hit the ground running in January can be intense. I want to remind you that healing, rest and self-compassion are not luxuries, they’re necessities. Give yourself permission to:

It's January and no, I'm not going to serve up some “New Year, New You” jargon. Why? Because there is nothing about you that needs to be fixed! Instead, I'd like to challenge you to focus on doing more of what makes you FEEL FULLY ALIVE. When you do, you'll not only enjoy yourself more, you'll see a positive impact in all areas of your life. So, where to start? First, you need to take a stance that you and your life matter. Only you can give yourself permission to sp

Every year we learn a little bit more about ourselves. Sometimes it’s in big aha moments, and other times it’s in whispers, in the little choices we see ourselves making every day. I’d like to invite you to take a few moments to reflect on the good stuff you’ve learned about yourself. To own, to cherish it. To congratulate yourself, just like you would when you see something awesome in a dear friend.

I turned 60 this past week and more than anything I feel grateful. This last decade has been, to borrow Glennon Doyle’s word, “Brutiful” with big, exciting, beautiful things (launching my three amazing boys into the world, building Camp Reinvention, traveling to National Parks, to name a few), the daily little joys and annoyances and of course challenging times, ranging from the Covid era to the loss of my dad and the health challenge I now wrestle with. All in all I’ve learn

Menopause did a number on me. I have always thought of myself as driven AND calm, striking a balance between “doing” and truly enjoying and being present to my days. With estrogen dropping off the cliff, that has changed. I now experience so much more anxiety than I did and even with meditation, daily walks and my robust mental tool kit it seems to get the best of me at times. It’s like a river that flows under the calm and joyful way I go about my days. And this week has

I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of community and connection recently. A couple of weeks ago I went to my friend Allison Gilbert’s talk about The Joy of Connections, a book she co-wrote with the amazing Dr. Ruth Westheimer. If you’re feeling a bit lonely or simply craving more connection in your life I recommend you check it out. Why? Because we humans NEED connection and we NEED to feel understood.
