Wish granted for many of us in North America this weekend. I LOVE this weekend because every year I get an extra hour – and I have been having a LOT of fun imagining how I will receive this gift of extra time. I know – people have told me that we are simply regaining […]

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions It is crazy-making to think about how many decisions you are making each day. Some of them are simple, and some of them put you into the spin-cycle. Making any decision from a place of fear, doubt, worry, anger or frustration places you in the victim space. Making any decision from a […]

  Sometimes I feel like I am “out of decides”. That place where it feels like I cannot make the simplest decisions – like “What shall I make for dinner” or “What will I wear today?” It happens when I’m tired, hungry, thirsty – or just generally stressed. When I try to force a decision […]

Feeling done? Angry? Frustrated? Or just plain old exhausted? Unproductive? Unmotivated? Challenged?   This is what I’m hearing – not only from my coaching clients, but from neighbours, friends and family members. It is the common thread in the conversation with the people I encounter in business, at the grocery store and on Facebook.   […]

How are you navigating the ever-changing landscape? Challenges staying present? Feelings of loneliness, frustration, worry? Or are you loving the slower pace, the time to reflect, the quiet.

This is the major source of stress. There IS a LOT of stress – and asking “When will things return to Normal?” increases that […]

Overwhelmed? You bet! Just about everyone I’ve encountered is feeling overwhelmed, myself included. Not every day, all the time, but there is more overwhelm. You are not alone. There is a simple explanation – there is a lot going on. Humans are on a gigantic learning curve, and that takes a lot of energy. The […]

I don’t mean the kind of grounding where you feel connected to the earth. I mean the kind of grounding that was your parents’ response to something you did. You know, where you weren’t allowed out of the house and couldn’t talk on the phone with your friends. I’m thinking this may be the closest […]

When I’m trying to figure out how things work, I turn to nature… Think of a potted plant that just isn’t doing as well as you would like it to. It’s not flowering, and the leaves are looking a little droopy. Digging up and examining the root system will not make the plant thrive – […]
