I had the great pleasure to chat with Dave Menz, a self-made man who dreamt about entrepreneurship as a kid. Dave experienced struggle and hardship early on but he never took his eyes off the prize.

Knowing when to resign can be tough. Having the hard conversation with yourself requires a real introspection and a solid plan. It’s not an easy decision, but if the opportunity to grow and thrive does not exist in your current position, then finding a meaningful opportunity is essential. We dishonor ourselves when we find ways to just cope. As a coach, I help people navigate these channels, and I...

We often hear ‘you are more than your worst thought or moment’ to stop judging ourselves and to show self-love. But what if you didn’t learn self-love or to be kind to yourself?

Susan talks about being stuck, specifically in an unhappy marriage, and how normalizing an unhealthy life can be a foolish choice.

If repetition allows one to master a skill or concept, imagine what the outcome of negative reinforcement can do to a young person who is just trying to make sense of themselves and the world around them. We are all doing the best we can to create a good life. Some of us did not have good role models growing up, and even worse may have been given the wrong messaging about our worth as a person. Su...
