I had the distinct honor and privilege of giving a TEDx talk this past February. While prepping for my talk taught me so much, that's the not the focus of this particular blog post.

The idea of TED talks is to bring forth "an idea worth sharing," and with that charge all I could think to share was the challenge of fit versus belonging.

You see, I spent almost 50 years of my life trying to live up to societal and other's expectations of me. Trying to be what I thought others wanted,...

It's been well documented that stress contributes to, among other things, cardiac disease, high blood pressure, higher rates of illness, obesity and even depression.

It's also well known that stress is our constant companion. However, the good news is for most of us, through lots of practice, we can become our own experts at elevating our stress levels. But the ability to relax is an acquired skill.

It’s tempting to wear your PJ’s or...

It's Monday morning, your alarm goes off, and as your eyes flutter open you realize it's time to get up and ready for work. The only problem is you're heading to a job you no longer love.

Sooner or later, it’s something we all face: a job we just can’t stand. It might be the job itself, the environment in which you're working, a few untenable co-workers, or your boss. There’s just something that rubs you the wrong way and is no longer working for you.

It's not an easy...

Remember when Samantha Jones in Sex and the City 2, announced she was going through menopause while in the midst of a devastating hot flash?

The Sex and the City movie had fun with this storyline, even though Kim Cattrall, the lady herself, hadn't start going through menopause until two years later. Regardless of her plight, Samantha created a plan of action to look and feel fabulous during "the change." She made menopause look fabulous...hot and sweaty...but fabulous.

Feeling like it's time to make that move? Whether you've had this feeling for the last month or the last year it's important that you consider a few things before you actually walk away from your current job.

I must first say that I DO NOT believe you should leave your current employment without gaining clarity on who you are, what you want to do and where you want to go, as well exploring the financial considerations of your decision. Without doing this work you'll merely jump out of a...
