Leash Your Lateness

Have you ever found yourself blaming your lateness on someone else’s location? I seriously said to myself, as I was running late to an appointment, “does she realize she lives on Tenth Avenue? That is far from the subway!” If you follow the internal logic in my mind at that moment, it implies that it […]

Cut the Crap.

Many of us love to eat crap. Pizza. Sugar. Sweets. Fried food, etc. The list is endless. And, just so you know, I get it. I was once a size 14 and happily spent many nights in my twenties, eating a pile of spaghetti and washing it down with a pint of ice cream. Those […]

Fearless Friendships

As a life coach, as you can imagine, my whole life is based on people. Heck, I’ve coached thousands of them, lead workshops with them in ‘em, manage a bunch of them, and, even come home to a brood of them. All it takes is just one of them people to trigger me, irk me, […]

Have It All: Double Dare You.

For as long as I could remember, I never believed I could have it all. I really believed that anyone who said they could have it “all,” you know, a happy husband, kids, AND a big career, was either a liar, a faker or a skipper of sleep. And, since I was never going to […]

Make Time Your BFF

Are you one of those people who incessantly struggles with time and can’t manage your day gracefully no matter how hard you try? Trust me, I understand all too well how, no matter what, something always seems to come up or pull you in (aka Facebook, emails, google chats, snapchats, vlogs, blogs, Norma Kamali pop […]

You Snooze, You Lose

What if your thoughts create your reality?  And, if you’re like me, a constant whirling dervish of ideas, wisdoms and worries, uh oh, is right. In fact, my mind has even got an opinion first thing in the morning. It seems, even after a decent night sleep of seven hours or more, it thinks I […]

How to Get Your Marriage Mojo Back

These days, marriages, long term partnerships, whether business or familial, typically end. If, however, they do manage to last, most are pretty uninspired or, at best, a slight upgrade of our parents’ relationship. For example, if our parents never touched publicly, we, on the other hand, might hold hands with our partners. Or if our […]

Why My Husband Won’t Cheat on Me

Did you just roll your eyes at the title? Or, better yet, did you just Google-search me to see who the heck am I that I can be so arrogant as to not only state that my husband wouldn’t cheat on me, but to put it in print? I mean how could I be so […]

Top 5 Things You Must Do in The Last Week of the Year

No one really gets anything done around the holidays, right? To the best of my knowledge, most people usually spend that time sleeping in late, watching movies with the kids, grazing on pre- and post-holiday snacks, toying around with new presents – all the while contemplating the long list of “ways everything will totally be […]

4 Holiday Budget Musts!

When you think of a budget, your first thought is probably about your wallet. But did you know that there are other currencies you can spend, save, splurge, and budget? The currencies of life are anything that is used as a medium of exchange. You give one thing, you get another. Currencies of your life […]

My Holiday Food Promise

It’s that time of year … the marathon between Halloween and Christmas. Take notice of the availability of holiday treats in all the places you go – dishes of candy at the office, gift-wrapped boxes of cookies, bottles of wine at parties and dinners out. Even in your own home, foods you don’t normally eat […]

Failing at Love? 4 Spiritual Lessons to Learn

Press pause for a moment … on your work deadlines, on your kid’s school schedules, on your holiday plans, on whatever device is ringing and buzzing. How is your love life doing lately? How’s your heart? If you’re single, do you find that you’re not happy with the partners you keep attracting? If you’re coupled, […]
