One Simple Question

ENJOY THE AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS WEEK’S BLOG BY CLICKING here OR THE PINK ICON TO LISTEN: I have a private and fabulous (and free) coaching community on Facebook (scroll down to find out how to join us!) called Women On The MOVE that I interact with every day. On Fridays, I will sometimes declare [...]

The five “power questions” to ponder and answer

I’m always coaching my clients to write things down. Journaling. Write “thought downloads.” Write down five things for which you are grateful. When I’ve practiced that in my own life (and I still do almost every day), it has had a remarkable impact on my life. A food journaling practice (that helped me observe my [...]

Stop Trying To Win

I was talking with someone recently who said she was familiar with my work through friends-of-friends-of-friends. The conversation turned towards how long I’d been working in personal development and how my practice has evolved over the past five years. This person said they knew I’d changed a lot; and in fact, shared with me that [...]

Wear It Out

You’ve said it before. You’ve been at an event saw someone out on the street wearing something you found interesting, provocative or striking. And you said something like this: “Oh wow, I wish I ________________________ to wear something like that, but ____________________________.” I wish I was brave enough … I wish I had the confidence [...]

There’s something within us — maybe we’ve seen it in movies too many times — that leads us to think that a person had to have one defining moment [...]

Wide awake and dreaming

It was just another summer Sunday, but not to me. I’ve taught group fitness classes for over three years now; but lately, I’ve stepped in mostly as a substitute instructor because coaching my clients and creating my classes and events has been my focus for most of this year. When I do have [...]

Looking for clues

I wrote in last week’s post about my body, my weight and how it all ties in with life. It struck a chord with a lot of readers, and you’ve let me know that. You let me know that you saw yourself in the vulnerability, frustration and loneliness I wrote about. Thank you for letting [...]

“I am the greatest. I said that before I even knew I was.”

It’s hard to put into words what one extraordinary human being’s legacy means to to the world. There are actually writers, reporters and photographers all over my city of Louisville, Kentucky this week doing just that, and many more eloquently that I will. What I know is what it means to me — a [...]
