A troll commented on my LinkedIn post last week.

And… I was so excited that I shouted out loud, did a little dance, and sent out vibrations for more trolls to find me!!!

Now… before you go thinking I’ve jumped off the deep end… consider this…

This is the hardest blog post I’ve ever written.

Partly, because change is hard.

Mostly, because it’s personal.

Here’s what I know about change…

The desire for more even spills into who we are!

What if we made decisions that truly brought more joy into our lives?…

I want to be present more often.

Strike that.

I NEED to be present more often.

Why? Because the cost of not being present is high.

Too high to ignore…

Avoiding the "Weekend Freak Out"!!!

The “Weekend Freak Out”…

That panicky feeling when we realize that we only have 48 hours to knock out everything on our “to do” list.

The result?

No rest. No fun. Constantly rushing from one activity to the next.

There’s a better way…

We are always trying to pack more into our days. This is true of our careers, parenting, financial needs, and every other area of our lives.

What if I told you that the secret to obtaining everything you truly and deeply desire in life is to focus on less?

It’s counter-intuitive, and it works…

Our professional brand is created with everything we do, say, and wear.

What we wear matters.

A lot.

Stay away from these brand damaging choices…

Is Your Inner Critic Designing Your Future?

We’ve all got one! That critical voice inside our head that runs a constant commentary about everything we do, say, or dare to dream.

Quieting that less than helpful voice will create a path for you to do more brave things, dream bigger, and experience more joy in your life.

Don’t let your inner critic create your future!

When we take actions that create a path for our dreams to follow, it’s like the dream takes a deep sigh of relief and says, “Finally! I’ve been waiting for you to let me in”

The reward for our bravery? We get to watch our big dreams come true!
