Life is still A LOT. I feel you. If you are coaching curious, here’s what you can expect from a session with me: Don’t let cost be a barrier. Message me if you want to book time for you. Feel free to forward to a friend, too.
If only we listened to women…
Fewer people would be confused, surprised, and trying to make sense of senseless acts. Because Martha Brockenbrough, Sarah Kendzior, Rebecca Solnit, Naomi Klein, and Tressie McMillan Cottom have been telling us for over a decade. I’m just now playing catch up to understand present-day politics. The hard truth helps, I’m finding. I’d say go read […]
Your Own Personal Stress Coach
Are you feeling the stress of startup life? Or corporate life? Or life in general? Maybe you feel like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual doesn’t really apply to you. Because the reaction you are having is utterly reasonable given ALL THE THINGS. Maybe you have a therapist but find they can’t really relate to your […]
Get the Nudge You Need for Your Book Idea
Many of you know I’m writing a book on our stress response. Much of that progress I owe to the assistance of two development editors recommended by the amazing team at Girl Friday Productions: Shannon O’Neill and Marisa Solis. They provided accountability, structure, and editorial guidance on all aspects of the publication process from writing […]
Where can you pick up where you left off?
For the past 15 months, I’ve spent a good bit of time listening to podcasts on Stitcher at the gym, on planes, and in car rides. When I return after a break, the female voice says in her British accent, “Resuming episode.” My playlist predominantly consists of what I like to call “Buddha Mama’s,” a […]
Goals Just Got Easier
Tis the season for goals. So why not set them in a way that you’re more likely to accomplish them? I’m not talking about lowering your standards. I am talking about getting real with the ways we get in our own way. Gabriele Oettingen’s Rethinking Positive Thinking details her research on increasing the likelihood of […]
Find Your Friendly
“Unfriendly” substitutes for the full range of sad and angry emotions possible. Boorstein simplifies her mental check-in with curiosity when she notices herself shifting away from friendliness. Sometimes our instincts are accurate, and we are threatened. Other times, no threat exists. I find myself feeling unfriendly after repeated requests to finish a meal, get dressed, […]
What if someone is watching?
Turns out someone is always watching. Reminding myself helps. When I’m talking to – or yelling at – my sons. When it’s just me and the stream in my head – I count. I’m watching. What’s done gets exposed. All of it. I get credit, sooner or later. What will you choose to do knowing […]
Feeling Caged or Called?
May you feel called today. Called to hear. Connect. Lift up. Take action. Lend a hand. Comfort. Call out. #mardimeditation #seedstogrowgrace
Furious or Curious?
“You ungrateful little…!” Or… “Oh, interesting!” Two possible reactions to my sons’ saying, “Just a sec,” to my every request. Do I get irate, or do I inquire about what has them so immersed that they just can’t break away to be fed, clothed, or educated? I can get furious or I can get curious. […]
