Learn: How to Find Your Why

“I went here and there and everywhere in search of my ‘calling,’ proving that this process is anything but a perfectly straight line, where one point leads predictably to the next. And while I don’t begrudge any of the wild experiences I’ve had along the way, for the simple fact that each of them taught me something I didn’t yet know, I wish I’d been able to embrace my own unique journey and avoid the bait of a you-should-do-this sort of life.” —Jessica Honegger, Imperfect Courage When I was a kid and people asked me what I wanted to be [...]

Love Learn Lead October 4, 2018

Happy fall, friends! I hope wherever you are, the weather is cool not cold, the leaves are turning a lovely shade of red or yellow, and there are pumpkin spice latte’s or hot apple cider in abundance. But only, if you’re into this season the way I am. The first day of fall for us in Pennsylvania was sunny and comfortably in the sixties. The summer humidity lifted, and I was able to wear flannel and bake in our apartment without overheating—which made me so happy. But something that makes me even happier than fall, is whenever I see someone [...]

Learn: Ways I Step Back

Ever notice how the most healthy life practices, are often the hardest for us to do? Like keeping a regular exercise routine, taking time to rest, or sticking to a healthy diet. For some reason, these actions that seem like they should come naturally, are usually the ones we must fight to maintain. As if there is something in us—or in the world around us—trying to keep us off track. The same can be said for our schedules. Often at the root of struggling to live a healthy life style, is all the things competing for our time. Our job [...]

Lead: Finding Your Pace

Leadership Tip #19: Find Your Pace Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year—and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade! —Anthony Robbins On Monday, I challenged us to both set our pace, and make sure we have the right support team around us. This is important not only in our positions of leadership, but also in every area of our lives. If we want to thrive in the long haul, both these pieces need to be in place. Only, we can’t set our [...]

When was the last time you were the “new kid?” Recently, in my life, I have been the new kid. The interesting thing about this for me, is that I haven’t moved towns, changed jobs, or joined a new organization. In fact, the place I have felt most like a “new kid,” has been in our dinning room turned office. Over the past few months, I have spent hours working on all that is involved in beginning my life coaching business. And the scariest, most challenging part has been learning how to build both a brand and a new website. [...]

Love Learn Lead September 6, 2018

How do we step back to take a good look at our lives, when life doesn’t seem to stop? When there’s always so much to do? And when it feels as if there’s never enough time? On Monday, I compared our lives to the peaches Tony and I picked last month. If I didn’t watch them closely—didn’t refrigerate or freeze them in time—they’d spoil. All of us have relationships, commitments, or aspects of our job that if we don’t inspect every now and then, could go sour. Or worse, go away completely. For example, how many of us put off [...]

Love: 5 Things To Do Before Summer Ends

I’m not great at letting go. In fact, I am rather bad at it. Whenever there is a change—even a good change—I struggle. For some reason I have a hard time releasing the things I love about what has passed, to grasp onto the things I’ll love about what’s to come. And right now, for me, it’s summer. I don’t want summer to end. Perhaps it is because, as always, it has gone by too quickly. Or, that I feel as if I haven’t spent nearly as much time outside this season, as I’d like. As someone who has, in [...]

Happy Thursday, friends! August is flying by, and it has already been two weeks since introducing my new Coaching Business to the world. On Monday, we celebrated my 200th post on the blog, by talking about the importance of routine in reaching our goals and making our dreams reality. Today, for our Love, Learn, Lead post, I am sharing a podcast episode I loved, to help inspire you to be courageous. I am talking about something important I’ve learned about habits and routines. And finally, I am leaving you with a leadership quote that I find challenging, but so worth [...]

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. —Mahatma Gandhi Leadership Tip #18: Never Stop Learning Do you remember the feeling you had in high school or college, when you couldn’t wait to graduate? When the thought of no more tests, papers, or projects brought you so much joy? Even those of us who had a decent educational experience know this feeling. Going to school in many ways makes the learning process stressful, anxiety-inducing, and even boring. But then, there are those teachers. The ones that help us understand algebra (mostly). The [...]

Learn: Why You Might Want a Life Coach

Honestly? I hate titles. Not the titles of books, but the ones we give each other, the ones we give ourselves, and the ones we long to have written under our names. Mostly, I feel this way because none of us can fully be summed up in one or two words. Also, the position a title gives us plays into a social hierarchy that seems to decide who matters and who doesn’t. However, titles do help people understand our professions and how we can help them. In other words, they are necessary. I share all of this because this week, [...]
