A client texted me, “I get so frustrated / disappointed when I’m hit with waves of sadness or anger. I have this belief that if I was doing my inner work “right,” I wouldn’t be experiencing those big waves of emotion." We think there's a point where we should be...

Not sending a birthday card. Not showing up for the baby shower. Ignoring their text. Even when we make these choices for a good reason, we can still feel so guilty! So let's talk about when that guilty feeling is useful...and when it really isn't. Guilt is triggered...

"This award for achievement and excellence in their field goes out to...!" Wouldn't it be awesome if the world celebrated our personal accomplishments the way we do celebrities? Not a competitive awards show like the Grammys, but with big fanfare and public...

Have you ever gotten partway through a book or movie that you didn’t like, but decided to stick with it and finish it? What about a dessert that really doesn't taste good, but you choke it down anyway because you spent $6 to get it? Maybe you're hanging in on some...
