We all have rules for happiness that limit or nurture our happiness in life. Here are three common ones that limit your happiness and what you can do about it.
Happiness isn’t an all or nothing proposition where you are either happy or unhappy—life isn’t that simple. We are all on the continuum of what we call happiness and no doubt you are happy about some things in your life and not so happy about others. Wherever you are on your journey, there is always […]
Happiness isn’t about everything being “right” in our lives–it’s about embracing what is while going for what can be. No one that I know of has the perfect life. Some have more of what they want than others when it comes to health, connection with others, work that is fulfilling and financially rewarding and so […]
Are you an imposter? Okay, let me clarify—despite being smart, talented and accomplished, do you often feel as though you aren’t? Do you find yourself thinking, “I know I’m all that, but I don’t feel like I’m all that”? If you are nodding your head in agreement, you are not alone. In fact, you are […]

Happiness and feeling good is more a state of mind than it is a state of circumstances. And yes, I know it’s easier to make such a statement than it is to pull it off. Sometimes it’s even easier to believe that how we feel at any given moment is directly dependent on the nature […]
A client e-mailed me Friday wanting some coaching time as soon as possible. Let’s call her Anne. Anne and I talked the next day. She is facing some financial challenges and also has a significant career decision to make. Anne is highly intelligent, ambitious and personable.
