The Bed Head Chronicles

You often hear me talk about your ‘why’ behind what you do every single day.   As an athlete, I had this crazy dream of wanting to be the best in the world in the sport of triathlon, even though I didn’t know how to swim, and I started this sport at the age of 23.  This was crazy.  But my ‘why’ was that I was so desperate to find a love and appreciation and a respect for myself.  And I knew that t...

Today, I want to talk about how life is like an echo. What you send out into the world will come back to you. So, whatever you think, say or do has some domino effect in touching everyone and everything around you. When you look at your life today, what have you been sending out into the world that’s coming back to you? Do you empower yourself on a regular basis? or do you find ways to dis-empower...

Today, I want to talk to you about taking care of you. There’s a reason why on the aeroplanes that when the oxygen masks fall down, they say put it on yourself first before you put it on your children.  We cannot possibly take care of others, give to others, and love others any more than we give and love and take care of ourselves. I know we often think that if we put ourselves first that’s being...

Today, I want to talk about really taking charge of our experience of life. How many of you have ever said to yourself, ‘I wish my partner was more romantic’ or ‘I wish my friend was more giving.’   Often times we wish for things and we don’t understand that if we step up first and give those things, we’re far more likely to attract it in everyone around us.   If you want more romance, be more rom...

Today, I want to talk about fearless authenticity. My belief is that we were all put on this planet absolutely perfect just the way that we are. I think where we get it wrong is that we need to be a certain type of person or do certain things or look a certain way in order to fit into a certain group or get a certain job or make a certain living. But I honestly believe that is such a mistake becau...

Today, I want to talk about what you do when you’re not feeling that you have the kind of energy or ability on any given day to accomplish what you set out to do.  Or to be able to do something to the best of your ability. Say, for example, you’re in the midst of a project, or in the midst of a workout, or in the midst of a race and you’re just not feeling good. You don’t feel like you have to kin...

Think about it – how many times have you been with a loved one, whether it’s a friend, your husband or your wife, or your child, and you’re with them but you’re thinking about 10 million different things that you need to do.  Or what you have to do in the office or what you forgot to do earlier. When that happens, you’re only kind of half there with the person that you love and half in your head a...

Failure! This word sparks anxiety, dread, fear and sadness. But what if failure was absolutely essential to any path to success? Do you learn more from your perfect beautiful victories? or do you learn more from when you fall short of what you hoped to achieve? I know for me I have learned more from my disappointments and my failures. Those failures showed me what I was missing, what I need to do...
