Looking at life through a different lens
I like writing on the last day of the year. I like writing every day and while I haven’t blogged in almost a month, I’ve done more writing this month than I ever have. Like I’ve said before, start right now. Don’t wait for something whole. I know that a new day, new week, new […]
How was work today? It’s really a small sentence and without any context it’s silly, pointless and small talk for most conversations. I’ve been a health coach for three years. I can’t believe it’s been that long and that short. Individually, I’ve worked with almost 100 women in that time. Since I started small group […]
There are a lot of tips and suggestions about holiday eating, but what do you really believe will help you?
Have you ever asked yourself the hard questions to figure out why you fall into all or nothing thinking or allow yourself to guilt trip or defeat yourself by the choices your making?
It’s not always glamorous, but getting messy can really help.
January came and went, and the spring flew by. Sometimes it feels as though we barely enjoyed summer and if you live in areas that experience extreme cold, it may already feel like fall disappeared. That’s how it feels in Massachusetts. Hoodie weather was about two weeks, give or take. The pellet stove has been […]
That’s what I call it. When I feel I want to run away and leave reality behind for a few moments. The great escape. When I was kid, like little, I was terrible at reading. It was something I had to practice over and over and over. This is something that greatly influenced how I […]

Like any profession, many are drawn to their work by passion, but experience sucks you in and in some cases makes […]
Shopping the sales and eating to the season can help you save money. That’s a trick or tip you can use regardless of the kind of journey you’re on. Who doesn’t like to save a little bit of money? Aside from looking at the circular and making a list, have you thought about what other […]
I have been writing this for over a month. I stop and I start. I step away. I start again. I save, I shut down. I have done so much writing in my journal lately. August was the month to bring it the mountain and sit there and write. I went 6 times and did […]
Behavioral health is health, and while I think we know that, I don’t think we know that. It’s often pushed aside and I really do believe it’s because many of us downplay our emotions. We tell ourselves “well, someone else has it worse, I’m making a big deal for no reason.” That may be true, […]
What the actual fuck. Last week a friend of mine went to their new therapist and was asked about self-care. Did they practice it? They were then asked, did they love themselves. Self-care is tricky because like all things that are gray, it’s different for everyone. Gender norms can play a role. Geography can play […]
