I took the holiday weekend off.

I wasn’t quite sure how I would pull it off until I finally just plain old shut the door to my home office and didn’t sit at my computer for 3 days.

The world didn’t end.

My inbox isn’t too inundated, surprisingly.

And I feel refreshed and ready to create magic ba...

Did you know that decluttering your inbox can have a profound impact on your emotional well-being?

​

For differently wired and/or overwhelmed business professionals, a chaotic inbox is more than just a digital mess — it’s a daily emotional drain. One you may not even consciously realize is happeni...

Recently, at my coach approach training we were discussing what it means to have a stuck client, particularly one who has ADHD.

Stuckness can look different in ADHD.

When we get stuck, it stops our executive function.
A decision for us can be like a train on the tracks with faulty signal lights and...

Over 20 years ago, I saw a therapist for depression.

It was just before the holidays and with the kindest of intentions, she put me on medication so I could enjoy them.

Unfortunately, that med threw me straight into mania.

I felt like my heart was racing all of the time and I ended up going on a ...

I cried over a pork chop.

I was in a chemo brain re-training group learning how to not forget allthethings.

My colleague expressed her frustration at being unable to find the pork chops she had prepared for dinner that night.

And I cried and cried.

In usual times, I would have chuckled and said ...

A few years ago, in the first few months of the pandemic, I wrote nearly daily posts on social media about my experiences.

This one struck home and I thought I would share it with you.

We're just coming out of one of the most important pauses - a family member was in hospice.

And it felt like ...

I lost my license.

The last thing I remember is feeling something in my right pants pocket, pulling it out, and thinking “oh you need to put that in your wallet before you lose it.”

Other than that I have nothing.

Did I put it back in my pants pocket?

Did I put it someplace “safe”?

And if so, w...

I snuck away to visit my parents in Florida last weekend.

I’ve been at full throttle for as long as I can remember.

As much as I wanted to be, I wasn’t completely unplugged. (I'll be getting unplugged soon I promise!)

My bestie, who I stayed with, gave me a spot for my laptop at her kitchen count...

The snow was falling again in Connecticut last weekend and pretty much all up and down the east coast.

I love the quiet and the slowing down.

A pleasure after a super busy January. A month where I was very sick and couldn't get in any skiing. Skiing is what keeps me sane in winter. And I confess t...

How are your New Year’s Resolutions going?
By now, who knows right!?!
​
Resolutions are big and scary.
Far better to make small shifts in our habits.

In case you didn’t notice, there are a bajillion books on habits.
I’m pretty sure there are as many books on creating new habits as there are habits to cr...
