I get many compliments on my girls: they’re polite, they’re smart, they’re confident, they’re talented, they’re wise beyond their years, they’re disciplined, they’re sweet… and the list goes on. I am, naturally, a very proud mom. I’m always proud of them (even when they do something that disappoints me), but being proud of myself is not something that …

As I’ve grown older and it has become more evident to me that trying to do it all brings me stress, overwhelm, and misery, I’ve forsaken the idea of having a long list of chores, tasks, or to-do’s on a single day. I’ve also learned to NOT do it all alone. Big disclosure moment: I don’t …
Make Today Someday! I’ve been saying this phrase for years… to myself, to my daughters, and to everyone I know. I once wrote a post about the lie of someday… because someday is not a day on the calendar, it is an excuse to procrastinate our dreams, to postpone our life, and to put our needs on …
I have a confession to make: I just hosted my FIRST in-home birthday party… EVER. I never had a birthday party in my childhood (or adulthood), and Elisha and Elyssa have either decided they wanted a big present instead of a party, or we just celebrated it elsewhere fun.

Cinderella’s song taught us that a dream is a wish your heart makes, and as moms, we don’t give ourselves permission to dream enough, wish enough, and receive enough…
The past week was bittersweet because it marked the end of the Summer sessions of my Mompreneur Mastery virtual mentoring experience. This meant saying good-bye to some of the moms and getting into deeper inner-work with others who are now my coaching clients. One of the reasons I love group coaching is the beautiful dynamic that happens because …
It’s 10:25 pm and I have a headache. I haven’t slept well in days (make that weeks), and I have a sink full of dishes. I was planning to post before 3pm, too. I could write, and do chores, but, you know what? I’m going to relax, and watch a movie until I fall asleep. I need …
Without a doubt, one of the highlights of my mompreneur journey was to meet Jay Conrad Levinson and subsequently, be personally mentored by him, and even teach at his Marketing Intensive in his own home. I miss Jay, and it makes my heart sing that I can carry out the legacy of what he created …
James Allen is the author of one the best books of all time, and one of my personal favorites, “As A Man Thinketh.” It’s a short read and I strive to read it at least once a year. It never gets old; in fact, it keeps getting better. He said: “The outer conditions of a person’s …
