As we come to the end of the first month of a new year, many of my clients already feel like they’ve ‘gone off the rails’. I get it. Last week, I gave a webinar which has received an unusually high number of accolades. I am not sure why this particular message ‘hit the mark’; […]
During this month of Thanksgiving, I thought it only fitting to offer gratitude for so many things in life. And no, not all are ‘hummingbirds and roses’.In fact, some of my greatest blessings have been some of the most challenging times.And, this month, I decided to offer a podcast (versus a written blog), in my […]
