{VIDEO} The best of the worst

Welcome to this week’s blog via video … This week, I am sharing the story of two of the hardest periods in my life, which happened to involve my home.

Want more hours in the day? You just got an extra 24.

“There just aren’t enough hours in the day…” I help accomplished and high-achieving women with strategies to define and design their unique plan for optimal physical and mental health.

{VIDEO} “An athlete of the mind”

Last week, I had the opportunity to be on a speaking panel for Today’s Woman Magazine’s 28th birthday party / Galentine’s Day celebration. I knew it was going to be a wonderful night, and it did not disappoint. I had the honor of sharing that stage with a group of extraordinary women: we [...]

Give yourself 1% … and change your life.

Most women in my practice are not coming to me with extra time on their hands to bask in hours of personal development work. They schedule appointments using a great deal of strategy and purpose. These women are working 5o+ hour weeks and commuting an hour each way to work. Some have three or four [...]

Unsubscribe, unfriend, unfollow, unshareable

Photo by Caroline Tran This is one of my favorite photos of myself. It was taken at a professional shoot about three years ago. Every so often, like this week, I’ll post it in some context on social media or send it out in a communication to the subscribers on my email list. Sometimes, I’ll [...]
