Goals... They're everywhere. We all have them. Some goals take the forefront and we wake up thinking about them. Other goals are more like wishes and, from time to time, when an experience comes to remind us that we REALLY want that goal, we remember the idea and feel a deep (and fleeting) desire to …

Remember January 1st, 2014? All the hopes, inspirations, dreams, and, ugh, resolutions? Where did they go? How much have you accomplished? Better yet, how much have you NOT accomplished? John Maxwell said it best when he stated that most people are exceptional at goal setting but mediocre at goal management. Goal management is the name …
There's a movement going on that goes something like this: "Getting what you want is easy." "You think it and it flows to you like water." "If you believe it, you can receive it." "Imagine, visualize and have faith and watch everything fall into the line." "The Universe will bring everything to you..." That is …

Do you make "earning" blessings a part of your everyday life? Is getting something for nothing a hard concept for you to grasp? When people give you anything freely (a compliment, a free drink, a major purchase item), do you look at them sideways and think, "So... what's the catch?" Deep down, do you love …
In children, we reward 'nice' and punish 'wild.' In adults, we applaud 'outstanding' and criticize 'weird.' In animals, we nurture 'cuddly' and quarantine 'fierce.' Isn't it funny how we seem to ask everyone and everything to be tamer than what they were meant to be? There comes a moment when you have to decide that …

Your job is good... but not great. Your relationships are solid... but not exhilarating. Your health is decent... but not vibrantly amazing.

Are you good at paying other people compliments, seeing their positive attributes, holding their vision, and encouraging their dreams... and not so good at doing the same for yourself? It's called the "Champion-Other-People's-Causes" Syndrome and it's a plight that far too many women deal with. When it comes to someone else's dream, you have mountain loads …
I've been thinking about this moment since mid-summer and I've put off this moment for a long, long time... She Runs the Show's time has come and gone for me. I'm sure there will be many women breadwinner coaches who are on the scene or will arrive on the scene in the next 5 years …
I was reading Brene Brown's book 'Daring Greatly' and, in the book, she says the following: "Going it alone is a value we hold in high esteem in our culture, ironically even when it comes to cultivating connection." For the woman breadwinner, the "going it alone" myth is even stronger. Combine the overachiever title with …
