Why is it that Dads (in general) have less guilt about doing things for themselves than Moms do? I dug into this question with my older and wiser(?) boyfriend who has had a few years more parenting than I have. His answers were insightful, logical and inspiring. So much so, that I decided to put it into my own words, with the spin of a mother who struggles with mom-guilt, so that I could share the...

As women, especially Canadian women, we say the S word A LOT. Today I share with you why I think we need to stop apologizing so much, when it's actually OK to apologize, and how we can break this insidious habit.

People pleasing. As women, many of us have a tendency towards the insidious habit of people pleasing, and we do it without even realizing we are doing it. It's a larger conversation as to WHY this is happening culturally, but the angle Lyndsay and I take on it today is focused on what can happen when we let go of this tendency. When we can release the urge and free ourselves from the people-pleasi...

Sometimes my friends inspire me. Actually, they often do. And that's exactly what happened this week. A friend of mine reached out wanting to talk because he was feeling "mentally broken", that he wanted to make big changes in his life but couldn't bring himself to do it. Like he was living on autopilot and not in control. And it broke my heart because I TOTALLY resonated with that feeling. I've b...
