What they didn’t tell you about running your own business!
LIVING in YOUR Body
Body issues: Everyone has them. I don't think I've met a single person who simply loved the body in which they were born. Men... Women...everyone has an issue with SOME PART of their body. At least most grown-ups do. Young children seem to be different...for the most part. They have no problem running around, being naked and loving all their parts. So when do the body issues start? ---AND---more importantly ---WHY-- In today's society we are now seeing more children under the age of twelve developing eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa and … [Read more...]
Making your Online Biz “Mobile” Friendly
Blight? or Blessing? Depending on the way you look at things, this generation's fast booming presence of the internet can feel overwhelming to some, and over bountiful to others. C-H-A-N-G-E is not always easy, but if you are willing to progress forward, you are more likely to beat the rush hour of the cyberspace highway. ---Are we like mice trapped in a maze waiting for someone else to give us the "cheese" that we feel ENTITLED to?--- Revisit this past show where we talked about the cult favorite book --> Who moved my cheese? <--and … [Read more...]

Play Big. Play Bold. Moms and Dads --- those of you who are running your own business --- do you realize that YOU are a unique breed?

Holidays and Holi-debts
The #1 stress creator during the holidays is debt. We have made sacrifices. We've left our double-income-no-kids lifestyle long behind and ventured into a hand-to-mouth way of living. We've made choices to stay home with the kids and build side businesses to supplement our expenses. We don't spend extravagantly and although we survive each year, we still manage to go deeper into debt. The holidays expect more from us. Because we don't have disposable income, we fall back on the only thing that will get us through...credit. American … [Read more...]
Coming Together to Grieve the Tragedy in Newtown
There is a process that we must go through when tragedy strikes. When I first heard about the tragic events of the school shooting in Connecticut on Friday, I shut down. Every part of me went numb. It was too much for me to handle. I had to take some time to process it, sort out my reaction, and consider how much I could allow my mind to wrap around it. I was sick to my stomach. I couldn't breathe. My 3 year old was having a play date with his best friend and I had to keep it together for their sake. So I did. I went through my day … [Read more...]

((Thank goodness for mom tribes and business besties... … [Read more...]

Wild Wealth comes from Wild Women
There are days where I am so overwhelmed with fierce joy, I wonder if I am living someone else’s life. You see, we cannot connect the dots going forward, but looking back… EVERYTHING BECOMES so clear. Imagine that we have always been traveling to be RIGHT HERE--- in this glorious moment in time.
