How many of you can honestly say that you are 100% unafraid to be unapologetically you in any situation? Say what you think, throw out seemingly crazy ideas, lean into shame, unafraid to be ostracized from the group….you name it.

Overthinking Leads to Stuck
I can’t believe how many of my clients, friends and coworkers overthink. Hell, I can’t believe how much I overthink. You know what you get when you overthink? Stuck. Like your tongue with a PBJ, stuck. No action. I’ve seriously been overthinking what I’m going to say to you since this morning. What an inefficientContinue reading “Overthinking Leads to Stuck”
Conscious Decision Making
One of the things I’ve noticed lately is that a lot of people who are very good at making big strategic business decisions are not so good at making personal strategic decisions.

Addicted to Email?
Up until about a year ago, I didn’t realize that I was addicted to email. It was just like a little slot machine on my phone dinging away and encouraging me to look at it all the time. Once I did look at it, I got sucked in and either spent my free time workingContinue reading “Addicted to Email?”
The Urge to Prove Yourself all the Time
I grew up in a situation where I believed that I was not as good as the other kids. My dad had a heart attack when I was 6 and didn’t work while he recovered. My mom was a stay at home mom. My clothes for school were crocheted or from a second hand storeContinue reading “The Urge to Prove Yourself all the Time”
