“You are beyond compare! Your value: Immeasurable.Think about it: Which sunrise is the most spectacular, and which blue sky is the bluest? Which joy is the most joyful, and which miracle is the most miraculous . . .

When that inner clarity breaks through—the vision, the certainty, the “holy crap, I’m amazing beyond what I even realized” kind of moments—that’s your soul igniting. It’s the version of you beyond fear, beyond survival, beyond old patterns, showing up to say: “This is who you’re meant to be…Now go be it.”

There’s a moment — subtle for some, explosive for others — when everything you’ve lived, learned, and survived suddenly clicks into place. The insight. The alignment. The quiet inner knowing that whispers,
“This… this is what it all meant.”

I remember what it was like to be a drunk and try to hide it behind the nice house, successful business, and going to school to “become more”.  It’s exhausting.  More poignantly, I remember the guilt and shame of relapse.  I remember it when I have the inclination to think that I can have a drink like a normal person.  It may start out that way, but it doesn’t stay that way, and before long, I am eyeballs deep in the alcohol and all the neurosis that go along with it. 

When my daughter was about 5 years old, I bought her a motorized scooter.  As she took off down the sidewalk, she looked so confident, so fearless — until the wobble started.

Maybe you are at a point in your life when the “thing” you’ve been leaning on just… stops working. Maybe it’s the job you’ve outgrown but keep showing up for anyway. Maybe it’s the glass of wine after work to take the edge off. Maybe it’s the relationship you keep trying to resuscitate.  Whatever it looks like to you, but the “thing” that once felt familiar, now feels impossible to maintain.

“The winds of change whisper in my ear,

 ‘C’mon,’ they say as they tickle my skin and ignite my senses . . .

‘It’ll be FUN!’”

Real self-care isn’t just about a relaxing bubble bath—it’s about honoring your highest self, setting boundaries, and giving yourself space to grow. It’s the daily choice to say yes to what supports your light and no to what dims it. When you trust your intuition, embrace your quirks, and surround yourself with people who accept you as you are, you don’t just survive—you thrive, radiate, and inspire by being unapologetically you.

At 57, I finally realized that my worth isn’t something to prove but something to express—unapologetically and authentically, like a rare masterpiece. The freedom I sought outside was always within me, waiting to be rediscovered, and now life feels brighter, richer, and undeniably mine.

Discovering My Inner Kindness Through an Unexpected Conversation…

Balancing the demands of a fast-paced work environment with the needs of my coachee, who navigates life with a significant physical disability, has been challenging. While we complement each other and work well together, the strict time constraints of the job often clash with her ability to move at her own pace...

Leadership and parenting share common ground—both require adaptability and growth. Often, we focus on developing leadership skills at work but neglect to apply them at home, where being a parent is one of the most important leadership roles we have.

I had a realization that my overeating wasn’t about the food—it was about emotions like comfort and security. In this blog, I share personal insights on uncovering the deeper emotional needs behind habits and explore how recognizing these patterns can lead to healthier, more fulfilling changes.

I used to think if I just kept moving, kept doing, my anxiety wouldn’t catch me. But it did. It held me tight and wouldn’t let go. It was a wake-up call, and it forced me to face my limitations head-on. Here's how I learned to stop fighting and start healing…

Sometimes we don't even know our limiting beliefs or how they hold us back in life until we share our chaos with someone who loves, supports, and believes in us. This post is how a dear friend of mine helped me see my own greatness when I was unable to see it for myself.

Selfishness, altruism, and spreading your light.

As I was preparing for an assignment for one of my master’s,classes in coaching, I explore how my father's perfectionism and profound wisdom continue to influence my life even many years after his passing.

As he sat down, I got the quick sense that his world was a terrifying place to be; Filled with monsters and atrocities that are lying in wait, eager to consume and shame the very essence of who he is. I spent the better part of my morning trying to show him that I was not one of those monsters, to no avail. His fear was too overwhelming for him, and subsequent revelations on my end unveiled a web of lies that seemed to extend into infinity.
