Eighteen special summers. That’s approximately what we get before our kids venture out on their own into internships, college courses, and careers. I had this thought a few years ago and it stopped me in my tracks.
When my daughter turned eight, I realized with a bit of panic, that I had maybe ten summer … Read more
Do you have a bucket list? Have you thought about one? It’s a popular concept, making a list of things you want to do in life. But how many of us actually create and fulfill our bucket lists? Now that I’m 45 and considered “midlife,” I’ve become seriously motivated to get out and experience life … Read more
Failure. It’s one of our biggest fears in life. It’s also one of the biggest reasons we get stuck. I get it. No one likes to fail. Been there – done that. It feels awful. Yes, failure can crush our confidence if we let it. But what if we took a different view on failure? … Read more
Breathe and Reboot defines my life; it’s my process; my mantra.
You see, for years, I struggled. I struggled with balance. Struggled with weight. And with work. Also, parenting. I struggled to keep my house clean, with my child’s homework, with staying on top of the laundry, remembering to pay the bills and what to … Read more
You’ve heard all the talk about Body Positivity. Yet these are the words you say to yourself:
“My stomach is flabby.”
“I look awful.”
“I wish my breasts/legs/butt/arms were smaller/toned/shapely/firmer/fuller.”

Mother’s Day is nearly here. I know the question is coming: “What do you want for Mother’s Day?” Honestly, I don’t want much. I know I want some special time with my people. Maybe go out to brunch or do a little shopping. I also plan to ask for a little ‘Me Time’ for Mother’s … Read more
You know what we need? More mom-friendly jobs. Like, the kind that are cool about you staying home with a sick child. Or encouraging to attend little Billy’s school program in the middle of the day. Supervisors that didn’t silently judge you when you left the office right at 5 p.m. (Because sometimes you JUST … Read more
Do you ever feel like you’re screwing it all up, despite the fact that you’re trying your best?
Me too.
That’s why I try to be intentional about loving life and being real. This is where I share stories, strategies and resources about breathing and rebooting through life’s messy moments. That means being intentional with thoughts, words and actions and loving the journey while you are in it.
Stop waiting for everything to be perfect! Because it’s never gonna be perfect. Life gets messy, yes. But you can always Breathe and Reboot.
One thing my readers love most is when I share my “not-so-perfect” moments with honesty (and sometimes humor), so that’s what I do.
I also love finding practical resources to stop staying stuck and move forward in life.
I don’t know about you, but now and then I like to be reminded that life isn’t perfect and there is beauty in the mess. Sometimes, we just have to look for it.
