Women’s Wealth

“I can’t go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” –Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll, 1865 I’m always skeptical of people who talk about the “good old days,” since in my (short) life experience, the past rarely lives up to our Photoshopped and sepia-toned fantasies. Many people love the past because they…

How to climb out of a job niche you feel stuck in

Years before I launched this coaching business, when I was still working in network news…ugh I remember all-too-vividly how terrible it was to feel trapped by my job. Waking up at 3am, the so-called “hour of the wolf,” and immediately feeling sick to my stomach when I thought about work…blech. (And then, since I’m apparently…

Job-Hunting on a Budget

It’s often been said that looking for a job is the worst job there is, and IMO, part of what makes job-hunting so emotionally arduous is that it requires us to aim high, and commit to our magnificent potential…even when we’re, to paraphrase Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman, “feeling kinda temporary” about ourselves.…

Ain’t nothing but a party!

If you’re thinking about getting a better job, but find the process so overwhelming, that you keep putting it off, saying to yourself, “Right after Labor Day, sh*t gets real,” well, that’s one way (highly stressful) to do it, I guess.

Being selfish is part of the job.

They are certain types of clients who hire me to help them become more selfish. There are certain types of clients who, when I start talking about how they’re going to have to become selfish to achieve their goals, become almost orgasmic regarding my use of the word, “selfish.” They move in close, lock their…

How to be a hero in your own life

As a coach, I have many people come to me, desperate to change their lives. Many of those same people are extremely panicked. They have great, or at least interesting ideas, but they also have this panicky sense that their lives are spinning out of control, and that unless they make a decision now, right…

“I was never the smartest person in my classrooms and [I] always abstained from participating in class because I had no fresh/worthy opinions. “-R. Um…okay. As a coach, I receive many interesting emails. This quote comes from one of those emails, and yes I already vented spoke with the human who reached out, and we had our…
