Cultivating a Sense of Calm

The most accessed resource I have ever created–in both downloadable and podcast format–is called the 7 Tips for Calm. I created it in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

How Writing Helped Me Remember I’m a Human Being, Not a Human Doing

Yes, Even Introverts Can Build Empires

Women are superheroes. Period. From being caregivers to leaders to everything-in-betweeners, there is so much women do that goes unnoticed and unappreciated. This lack of appreciation became even more pronounced during the pandemic when women disproportionately were expected to become teachers, nurses, and career sacrificers to take care of their families.

Lessons in Financial Wellness

I learned only one thing about money when I was growing up and it was that there was never enough of it. At an early age, I understood what evictions and repossessions were, probably long before I could even pronounce the words correctly.

In Support of Empathy

What if our first response to someone else’s expression of pain (or any emotion for that matter) was simply, “I believe you.”? Humans are biologically wired for connection. Without it, we die. Empathy is an essential element in establishing and maintaining connection.

A Note to Women About Permission Slips

Rules have reasons, as I often tell my kids. And just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow them.
