Personal Empowerment

There is a lot of taboo around talking about money. You may have heard that good people don’t talk about money, or that you should never discuss your salary with co-workers. But today, we’re breaking the rules and talking about money. I’ve had to do a lot of work around this topic and work through […]

How often do you make time for yourself? I know your life is busy, and you’re overwhelmed, but are you making the time you need to care for yourself? As women, we’ve been told that we must place everybody else’s needs above our own, but taking care of yourself is vital so you must make […]

Have you ever sat down and thought about why you want what you want? Are your goals really in line with your true desires? I find that it’s so common for us to strive for things because other people have them, because we think it’s the next logical step, or because we’re conditioned to want […]

If you’ve ever pursued a goal of any type, you’ve likely found yourself up against some obstacles that temporarily stopped you from achieving your desired results. These obstacles can lead to you going against your own values and prevent you from showing up authentically. How you think about things can impact the action you take […]

We are all leaders of our lives, and we get to choose to either let life happen to us or be deliberate in creating the life we really want. It takes a lot of courage to get clear on what you want and then go after it. When you are brave enough to declare and […]

Parenting…it’s hard.  Are you overwhelmed and stressed? Do you worry about what can go wrong? Have you lost your sense of self? Cathy and Todd Adams joined me in this 2014 episode to talk about how to become more aware and conscious so that you can transform your family relationships.  Cathy and Todd are the […]

Have you ever been in the position where you put off or resist doing something even though you want the results, because you feel overwhelmed, can’t be bothered, or don’t think you can do it? So many of my clients experience resistance in their lives, and they think they’re the only ones going through it. […]

We’re living in a strange time where parents are embarrassed to talk to their children about sex, but our kids are growing up in a culture where messages about sex are abundant in media. A lot of kids are getting some of their sex education from television, YouTube, and more. Torie Henderson is a well-known […]

When you come home at the end of the day and begin to talk about how it went, what do you say? Do you only share the bad things and discount the good? Do you avoid sharing the bad? I spend a great deal of time listening to people’s stories each week. I hear what […]

We strive to be “happy” but we have these darn negative emotions in our lives.  Some of us try to run from them via food, alcohol/drugs, sex, work, or exercise.  Have you ever thought about your feelings as a messenger who is here to tell you something important? Karla McLaren is an award-winning author, researcher, […]

Something I’ve noticed about many of my clients is that no matter how much success they achieve, there’s always someone farther ahead. No matter how far they’ve come, they’re still behind. Questioning if you’re successful “enough” inevitably leads to compare and despair. And this sends you down a spiral of shame, when the truth is, […]

When we were growing up, many of us were not taught to practice compassion and self-compassion. Instead we were taught that we need to keep ourselves in line or that we are special and need to be better than other people.  What we needed to learn was how to be good friends to ourselves. Learning […]

Well, we’ve made it to 2021. 2020 was challenging in so many different, very real ways. After arguably one of the hardest years in many of our lives, we made it through and now we have a brand new year ahead of us.  While this is exciting, I know many of you are going to […]

Do you wait for permission? Many of us wait for permission to do whatever it is that we want to do in our lives. We forget that we are adults and that we are the leaders of our own lives. Susan Hyatt is a Master Certified Life and Business coach, podcaster, author, and speaker. In […]

Sir Isaac Newton has a quote that has really resonated with me lately. He says, “If I had seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” By standing on the shoulders of those came before us, we can see further and achieve more. Who are the giants whose shoulders you stand on? […]

Celebrations look different this year. They won’t be the same as the ones discussed in this episode or that have taken place in years past. But even in this difficult year where it feels like there’s not a lot to celebrate, it is important and helpful to find ways to do so with your household, […]

I’ve spent 14 years asking people how they created what they wanted on this show. In the beginning, I wanted to know what made these people shiny unicorns who were special and could create what they wanted, because I certainly couldn’t.  The truth is, friends, I wasn’t giving myself permission or the space to get […]

Take a moment to think about a time when you’ve seen a friend post on social media about an expensive vacation or a neighbor driving a fancy new car. Think about what you feel in those moments. If you’re like most of us, you’ll feel a little twinge of envy even if you don’t consciously […]

Do you ever feel like giving up? Maybe you’ve worked so hard on closing a deal and now things are unraveling. Maybe you have a difficult boss and you just want to quit. Or maybe, your marriage has taken a beating in 2020 and you don’t know if you can keep going.  Does any of […]

Last week’s Wisdom Wednesday episode was a discussion with Hiro Boga about owning your value and valuing what you bring. This week’s episode is on the exact same topic, but with a different guest. Despite it being the same subject matter, you’ll hear a totally different conversation that approaches the topic in new and unique […]

For some people, the holidays are when we reduce our workloads and give ourselves more time to relax and connect with our people. But for others, especially high-achievers, the holidays can feel like there’s even less space for ourselves than usual. I want you to think about how much space you’re giving yourself right now […]

Hiro Boga is a business strategist, teacher, adviser, and mentor. In this episode, which originally aired in 2017, Hiro Boga and I talk about owning your value and valuing what you bring to the table. Hiro and I have different viewpoints on value, which made for a fascinating conversation as we unpacked the topics. One […]

Are you a ‘make it happen’ type of person? When there’s a problem, do you like to find a solution, fix it, and power through? In a culture that rewards hard work and grit, this is how we’re taught to handle problems.  We’re talking all about making it happen, and then surrendering, with my guest […]
