Have you ever wished you had someone who would listen? Someone who would be, not on your side, but on your team? Someone who, without judgment, would faithfully be there to help you sort through all the thoughts, feelings, and circumstances you are carrying into yet another year? Someone who could BELIEVE in YOU, even [...]

It’s okay to keep resting
Is anyone else confused about what day it is? Is the pressure of the New Year starting to creep up on you? Do you wish you had gotten more done or that you were in a different place altogether? Did you know that it's okay to keep resting? Sometimes beginning from a place of being [...]
On the 11th Day of Christmas!
On the 11th Day of Christmas... LOVE lets everyone else be... One of the most profound things I learned from my own coach is the truth that EXPECTATIONS are just pre-meditated RESENTMENTS! Because we all are human and will let each other down sometimes. But WE have to feel the yuck of resentment inside of [...]
On the 10th Day of Christmas!
Notice that I said "overeat" because there's nothing wrong with having a treat now and then. After all, that's the definition of a treat. It's not an everyday staple. We don’t overeat and binge on sugar or snacks because we have a sugar or salt addiction, we often do it because we haven’t learned to PROCESS [...]
On the 9th Day of Christmas!
Did you know that you are NOT your emotions? Whenever we hear ourselves saying things like "I am sad," "I'm so frustrated," or "I'm so anxious," it's the perfect cue from our brains to PAUSE and think about what we are really saying. And ask ourselves, "Is that true?" And then we can change those [...]
On the 8th Day of Christmas!
On the 8th Day of Christmas... GET COZY! Amidst all the hustle and bustle resist the urge to attend EVERY invite [even that nagging invite to do more chores ;)] and take some time to GET COZY! Even if it’s just for one hour! Trust me, the world will not end and the lists will [...]
On the 7th Day of Christmas!
On the 7th Day of Christmas... CREATE! We were MADE to CREATE! Cook, bake, or make something from scratch. Fashion a new garland or decorate differently than usual. Even how you wrap a present can give you a BOOST Even if it's not something anyone else will see. Just the act of using our hands [...]
On the 6th Day of Christmas!
On the 6th Day of Christmas... Where is YOUR focus? Relationships can feel strained around the holidays. Stop focusing on what’s WRONG and start focusing on what’s RIGHT! Stop obsessing over how your spouse, kids, or in-laws are doing this "thing" wrong, and ask your brain to see all the wonderful things you love about [...]
On the 5th Day of Christmas!
On the 5th Day of Christmas... Make some time for FUN (whatever that means to you!) I’ve personally never thought of myself as a very “fun” person. In fact, those peeps that seem to exude ENERGY make me a little nervous But I’ve come to accept that “fun” is relative. It doesn’t mean I have [...]
On the 3rd Day of Christmas!
On the 3rd Day of Christmas... Forgive. Don't bring "un-forgiveness" into the season. It will only rob you of your peace. "But you don't know what they did!" Doesn't matter. "But isn't that letting them "off the hook?" Is it? Perhaps it's letting YOU off the hook. From the pain in your heart that YOU [...]
