I normally don’t blog on Saturdays, but today, I felt compelled to write while everything is fresh in my mind. If you follow or know me, you’re aware that my bonus baby (my cousin) is autistic, and we’ve been caring for him for two years now. Every day brings its own challenges—some great, some good, […]

Unrealistic expectations of others doesn’t bring you peace. I’ve been coaching on the side for years, if you ask some of my friends and family for decades. I finally went full time a few years ago. I have some family/friends who refer me like crazy and for you I’m grateful. When I first went full […]

A few weeks ago, I noticed something. I had gained weight.  I pulled out a pair of black pants and, to my surprise, they hugged my thighs like never before. I mean, I was definitely bustin’ loose. My thighs were trying to free themselves from the confinement. I had signs along the way.  I noticed […]

Last Sunday, I woke up at 7:30 AM and couldn’t breathe. Heavy chest. Spinning thoughts. Total overwhelm.​Even though I thought I had moved through some things, I was right back on the emotional rollercoaster.​Here’s what I was juggling: I caught myself and asked: What do I need right now? My higher self said: “Book a […]

This week I posted this quote on Instagram.  I don’t know if there is a sadder feeling than being in a relationship with someone and still feeling utterly alone. – Silvy Khoucasian This was my life ​I was married but felt alone.  I didn’t really confide in anyone. I just spent my days wishing something […]

This week I posted in my IG account these 5 habits. These habits are life changing. For so long in my life I was so busy loving others and taking care of others I placed me on the bottom of the list. It’s a process where I will occasionally slip but I recognize when it’s […]

At one point in my life, I was hanging on by a thread. We had lost our business, our house, vehicles, and our marriage was in ruins. I had for so long operated under extreme stress and overwhelm. I was burnout. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I told my therapist repeatedly; I […]

Have you been there? You can’t seem to understand anything he’s saying.​​It’s completely ridiculous. Nothing makes sense at all.​​You think of all the proof you have as to why you’re right about this. Which makes it difficult to see his point of view.​​Being the Type-A, perfectionist who wants to be right at all costs, I […]

My daughter, Leila, over the summer stayed with my sister to help with her newborn baby. She called me at the last minute about practice.
