What If I’m Farther Along Than I Think?
Last week, I realized I’d been subconsciously waiting for my children’s affirmation, especially around my work as a life coach and how I show up as a mother and grandmother. Not because I needed praise…But because some hidden part of me believed it might finally prove I was doing something right. That I was “enough.” […]

What Are You Listening To?
As a guide, I ask my clients a crucial question: Is the brain chatter you hear true? Most of the time, the answer is no.

Self-Sabotage Kept Me Awake!
It all started with my birthday on Sunday—I turned 54! 🎂 As the day went on, I noticed a LOT of brain chatter.

Some seemingly innocent and “not a big deal” experiences can actually log tremendously debilitating emotions in the body that show up at the most inconvenient times!. So it’s no wonder that an experience like relationship betrayal can trigger anxiety or […]
Wherein I Forgive Myself
Today as I was pondering on my mode of operation during the years I struggled with depression and anxiety, the thought came to me that I needed to do another writing. I was really contemplating what I can now see, years later. I use to have a belief that I should wait for my husband […]
Inward or Outward?
There are two kinds of mindsets: inward and outward. The inward mindset says, “My depression/anxiety/chaos leaves me unable to function like I want. I am a victim. I wish other people would understand that I don’t have the ability to ______________ (fill in the blank.) People who don’t have mental illness don’t get it. Anyone […]
