Are you living a life that feels like yours? All yours? Is it an expression of what you value? Of what you love? Of who you are? No? Or … not quite sure? Because you’re too busy surviving. And serving. And being responsible. And just getting through. To pay mind to what you want. And...

Who among us has not reached for something with heart, soul, blood, and guts, and ended up trounced, trammeled, and shattered? There is a special spot in my heart reserved for women who give their all, lunge towards their dreams, rush into the unknown with abandon, trust their deepest soul’s yearnings, and shatter into a...

Before we get into today’s post, I wanted to share a video feature on me that just came out in Best Self Magazine – one of my fave interviews ever! Our conversation went all over the map – it’s powerful, info-packed and so much fun. Click here to access the full video interview. Meanwhile, today,...

I got what I wanted. Exactly what I longed for. At the precise moment that I wanted it. Wow. Life is amazing. I am amazing. Who has ever had the opportunity to say those words? Seems like desires are somewhat more mysterious than that. Somewhat less generous. We get what we want long before we...

They say that fortune favors the bold. But what if there is nothing really bold going on right now? And worse still—what if I think I actually have no bold? And what if I am right? I like to think of myself as an avid student of bold. As an educator and thought leader, I...

Raise your hand if you have a simple, loving, rainbows and butterflies relationship with your bod. And food. And weight. If you’re one of the rare women in this camp – oh my goddess, hallelujah. And if not, I got you. It’s not you, it’s us. It’s one of the byproducts of being born into...

I draw courage from the stories of women who have courage. I draw strength from learning from women who have overcome the insurmountable. I transmute when I hear of a woman who has remade herself, cellularly. The fire in my belly busted into a wildfire when I heard Annette’s story. And the very same thing...

After whipping my smoothie together, grabbing my gym stuff, tossing a green juice in my bag, scanning the NYTimes on my iPhone and ordering a latte – to go – it’s only 7:30am. Me, you, and who else? Then there’s my kid, who is vexed because she isn’t sure what to declare her major in,...
