Getting unstuck
If you've done it once, you can do it again. Being able to work through something that feels challenging requires a certain frame of mind. The part of you that is wallowing and believes that this is the worst possible thing, is not the part of you that can figure out the best next step. … Continue reading Getting unstuck
The art of authenticity
Seth Godin said something on authenticity that really resonated. It was about how we don't want people to always be authentic. True authenticity stops us from showing up because we don't always feel like doing the things we should do, need to do or planned to do.

A new years resolution by any other name
When it comes to new years resolutions the way I see it is that it's simply a record of what you want for yourself. The term new years resolutions has gotten a bad rap over the years. It's associated with a sort of temporary promise that you make at the start of the year and … Continue reading A new years resolution by any other name
Optimists, Pessimists and Dreamers
