I Will Not Be Shamed.
When I quit drinking alcohol, my not drinking became a source of discomfort (and still is) for many of those who continue to partake. Although I understood on one level that it wasn’t “about me”–it was about them and their relationship with alcohol–it was tough on me. Tough or not, I stayed the course, even…
ANGER.
Last year, I was interviewing someone for my video podcast. These interviews are special because the stories tend to be incredibly real, raw and deeply personal. About 30 minutes into the interview, to my shock and horror, I could see that my computer hadn’t been plugged in properly and was about to die. I discreetly…
Forever Tries.
My first experience with personal development came when I was 18 years old. My parents came home with a pack of tapes, handed them to me, and said they’d help me build my self esteem. I felt judged and criticized. Exposed and angry. I don’t even know if I listened to a single one of…
I. Am. Enough.(Tales of A Recovering People-Pleaser)
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I am enough. Ok, alottimes. Maybe you, too? You see, I am a recovering people-pleaser, with an emphasis on the recovering part and it’s allllll rooted in a limiting belief I’ve worked on since I knew what “working on” things meant. Whenever I’m struggling with my worthiness, or…
REALTalk On INCONTINENCE.
In case you missed Sunday’s episode of REALTalk, I wanted to share the show here. It was a powerful hour talking about a topic that’s often overlooked due to shame and embarrassment–we talked INCONTINENCE. Derick Fage shard his own personal and powerful story of being born with a medical condition that rendered him fecally incontinent,…
Dealing With Our Inner Critic
On Sunday, I had Kylie Delfino, founder of Grace Love Peace, on REALTalk to share her incredible story and wisdom. In 2015, Kylie endured a near-death experience that catapulted her out of one life and on the path toward another one entirely. The lessons she learned have become her life’s mission, and she teaches us…
I Want To Be Perfect. For You.
I have grappled with the importance of my appearance for as long as I can remember. I’ve written about it here. And Here. And here. And here. And here. Wanting to act and appear “perfect” so that I could hide my mounting imperfections behind closed doors has been an underlying theme in my life…forever. Opening…
Everyday Miracles.
I want to share something that happened last week. Something extraordinary. And yet, had I been too busy to notice, the moment would have simply slipped away. It was a day like many others. Nothing special about it at all. Roger and I had just finished our workouts and were popping in to grab coffee…
STOP Eating SALAD!
Last week, I posted on Facebook that I am the world’s worst when it comes to taking pics of my meals because, most often, my meals are salads. I mean, even in winter, I eat salads for lunch almost exclusively and most often for dinner, as well. Now, before you feel sorry for me or…
Walking The Talk.
Back in April, Roger left his toiletry bag behind on a trip we took, even though while we were packing up, I had reminded him not to forget it. When we arrived home and he didn’t have it, I knew I had two choices. I could chastise him and be angry that he was so…
