This question is asked in 80% of my coaching engagements. The client might be in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s. And they can be questioning a relationship, a career choice, parenting, or returning to school. Does this apply to you? Is there an area of your life where you wondering if it’s too late, if you’re …
I am writing to you from King Spa, a shvitz palace I’ve been coming to for the better part of the last decade. Vat is a schvitz you ask? Shvitz is a yiddish word that means “to sweat”, and around the world, many cultures (including Korean) create venues where people can go to sweat intentionally. In Russia, you’ll get beaten with …
We’re on hour 4 1/2 of my husband’s 2 hour pre-planned surgery. He’s having a rib removed due to recurring blood clots. The surgery is running 2 1/2 hours late and I’m not sure why. There’s a reason it’s running late, I just don’t know what it is. And I can’t get to the people who …

Storytelling is an ancient art and a hot new thing. It was the talk of Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (theme: Re-imagining storytelling), is all the rage with SEO optimization, and your Ted Talk to-be; it’s in the air. I frequently discuss storytelling with clients; our brains like a complete story. That’s part of why it’s hard to make …
So the other day my four-year-old cornered me in the locker room at our town pool. “Mom, can you help me walk over to those girls and ask them if I can be their friend?” Ugh. Not this. Those girls were older, tall and thin, blonde, possibly wearing lip gloss, doing some sort of song …
