Why Every Mother Needs A Life Coach
I’ve received a lot of helpful advice and counsel in my lifetime. I’ve watched thousands of episodes of Oprah, I’ve purchased and read dozens of self-help books, I’ve had many remarkable mentors and advisors and even a therapist (or two).

One Life-Changing Question at a Time
Yesterday I participated in a fun podcast interview as part of a series put on by a global organization called CreativeMornings. The interview was a follow-up to a provocative speech I gave at a CreativeMorningRVA event back in June that chronicled my personal journey from broken to whole. Towards the end of the interview, the…

A New Approach To Life: Stop Climbing And Start Dancing
For the vast majority of my life I walked around with a pickaxe in my hand — seeking out the next metaphorical mountain to climb, the next challenge to conquer, the next summit to reach. It was an interesting approach. The pickaxe approach allowed me to see many summits, accomplish some impressive feats, and collect…

Life Is Better When You’re Lit From The Inside
I heard an amazing quote in yoga class last week and it stopped me in my tracks. Well, technically I was already stopped in my tracks because I was lying on my back in Savasana (also known as corpse pose), but the notion certainly stopped my mind in its tracks.

Having It All: Addressing Life’s Most Annoying Question
Can women have it all? It seems to be the $64,000 question all over the media these days.

Stop Playing by Other People’s Rules
A few weeks ago, I was invited to sit on a panel of experts during a conference about excellence in entrepreneurialism in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. I happily agreed — not because I had reams of wisdom to share, but because the other panelists were so damn impressive. I couldn’t wait to soak up…

My, What A difference Five Years Makes
I love TimeHop – an app that goes back through the pictures on your phone and the ones you’ve posted on social media and shows you each and every day exactly what you were doing on that same day back in time. It could be a year ago, three years ago, ten years ago or…

Learning To love yourself
Each year in January, my husband and I go to Mexico on vacation – just the two of us. No kids allowed. When we first started this tradition eight years ago, our children hated that we went without them, and they were good at letting us know it. These days, they care less about the…

Asleep At The Wheel
It’s a well-documented fact (on my blog at least) that I was asleep at the wheel for many years of my life. From age 15 to 35, I made most decisions under the premise that if other people approved of me, then I could approve of myself. Even putting in 70 hours a week at the…

What Matters To You Beyond Money and Power?
Arianna Huffington started a movement a few years ago called “The Third Metric.” The mission of The Third Metric is to help people, particularly women, find their own definition of success beyond money and power. We all know how I feel about chasing money and power, so it’s no surprise that this platform resonated deeply with…

How to Be Strong Even When You Feel Like a Wimp
I have no upper body strength. It’s a miracle I can even lift my fingers to write this blog post. I’ve never had upper body strength. When I was a gymnast as a young girl, the long-hang-pullover on the top bar was a joke. Not even close. Let’s just say the uneven bars were not…

Five Self-Help Books That Saved My Sanity
I love a good self-help book. Truth be told, they’re the only genre of books that I read. My husband finds this disconcerting. On our most recent beach vacation, I sunned on the lounge chair next to his, feverishly reading, highlighting and making notes in the margins. “Why can’t you just read trashy romance novels…

Tuning Into Self Love
Learning to love yourself can be a challenge. We love our children unconditionally, but when it comes to loving ourselves, we tend to put a plethora of conditions in place. We’ll feel better about ourselves when we lose the extra weight we can’t seem to get off, land that big new business deal at work…

What the world can learn from Judy Fabjance
Goddammit, I hate it when people die. This time it was Judy Fabjance — one of the greatest pioneers to ever emerge from the world-renowned improv comedy group, Second City. The same comedy group that produced the likes of Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. No small feat. Judy was a mother, she was 41-years-old and…

Getting To The Root Of Your Problem
Two weeks ago I developed a horrible rash on my face. What started out as a pale pink blemish on my left cheek quickly erupted into a full-fledged, flesh-eating disease across the entire bottom third of my face. It wasn’t pretty. I’d show you a picture, I took several, but I’d like for us still…

How to do the boldest thing you’ve ever done
Three years ago I stood on the TEDx stage and took off my proverbial clothes in front of a live audience of 500 people, with thousands more watching online. I gave a six-minute speech that set me free and changed the trajectory of my life. It was the bravest and boldest thing I’ve ever done.…

Practicing Peace of Mind
The notion of “living in the present moment” is all the rage these days. Everywhere you turn, there are articles, books, workshops, retreats, conferences and talk show segments about what it means to be mindful. Everyone talks about being mindful, but very few people explain how to do it. So, let’s do this thing. I’ve…

Are You A Good Mother?
Are you a good mother? If you’re anything like me, the very sound of those words strung together to form that question makes you slump your shoulders, furrow your brow and exhale with a guilt-ridden sound of defeat.
