“How are you?’ We ask and get asked this question countless times each day. And when we answer we tend to focus on the area of our life that’s concerning us most. I have so many reasons to be jumping for joy each and everyday, and I know it. Yet when I’m caught in a […]
How to be giving, without exhausting yourself
Everyday I meet many more gorgeous women who are…. Super Loving. Extra Caring. Really prone to putting everyone else first. They’re committing to more, even when they’re collapsing in a heap from exhaustion most nights.

Uncertainty, self-doubt and feeling naked in a coffee shop
I’d had one of those mornings, and as I stood in line for my coffee I felt emotionally raw and exposed, as if I was standing there naked..

What could do this […]
