Entitlement vs endowment
Blow everything off and go to Disneyland. And that is exactly what I will be doing tomorrow. Why? BECAUSE I CAN. I admit it. That overworked and overloaded mom lately is me.

Fitness for the Busy Career Mom! (or Physical Education for Dummies)
Me? Work out? You must be joking. Do I look like someone who likes to sweat? It was as though I had an allergic reaction to fitness- for most of my life. Joining a gym seemed like the dumbest idea and the biggest waste of money. EVER. Unless there were Broadway show tunes playing and I had my tap shoes on, I didn't like being active. AT ALL. Running or even walking on a treadmill was pure torture for me. I'd heard people talk about the endorphin rush they got when working out, but I was sure it was a myth. Then one day I became one of … [Read more...]

For me, that gift is knowing that my hard work and determination has a pay-off. Otherwise what is the point? Working at home is like taking on a double career for half the pay- and only some of us will actually … [Read more...]
Say Goodbye to your inner “Good Girl”!

It has to do with playing small and feeling stuck in a prison of other people’s ideas. It has to do with feeling like we have to live up to the idea of being “good.” Many times the “good” part of us judges the “badass” part of us and we miss out on the truth of … [Read more...]
Bypass the Symptom…and get straight to the root of the problem
“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” ~M. Scott Peck Are you Fearless? Probably not. None of us are. Fear affects each and every one of us in different ways. You may think you know someone who appears to be fearless, but the truth is, they just might have a better relationship with … [Read more...]
