My life started with a Catholic Mom and a Lutheran Dad from a small town in northern Wisconsin. So we celebrated Baby Jesus and Santa. My dad did not go to church with us every week, but on the holidays, we attended mass as a family. I remember getting dressed on...

You deserve some background here before I “go off” on my topic. I have only been a chicken momma for 1.5 years. What does that mean? If means I have only been spending 10X the amount of money on raising backyard chickens than I could ever expect to make in real...

Coaching is easy. We ask questions that seem really easy to answer and confound the askee (is that a word) because they have never thought about the question before. So let me challenge you. What is most important to you right now? I call it WIMI. Let’s WIMI where you...

These last 2 weeks in my life has been incredibly filled with mental noise and not much working well. Lots of potential for yelling and cussing out loud. And some “what the hell”. If you follow the Metaphysical world, it would have taken you to the fact that Mercury...

Being the “bringer” of the positive and what is possible to my clients, prospects and audiences is a big responsibility…which I love, by the way. However, sometimes I am not so positive myself. What do you do when you can’t do well what you are known to do? I look for...

Holy Moly and wow. Whatever is going on, it is affecting all of us. We may be reacting in different ways, however, we are reacting. Many of us are exhausted and snippy. I was going to list all the symptoms and issues, but that would just be adding insult to injury....
