Great music, great company and a great celebration of my body, which continues to carry me through this … Continue reading The Gift of Resistance
I've been told several times in the past year that I am a 'serial entrepreneur'. Basically, I can't stop creating things: businesses, books, online courses... It's part of my nature to create.

How, as a business leader, she felt criticized. Judged. Under attack. Daily. And she talked about the weight she gained over those 4 … Continue reading The Weight of the Working Woman

The grey one scratched down the fence as the black one stood on top. What surprised me was the hare. Sitting at … Continue reading The Squirrelly Nature of Mind
