The long hours, the heavy workload, the job insecurity, the threat of job loss or redundancy, and the conflicts with other workers or bosses – Can really make you feel overwhelmed by work stress.

Work stress takes a toll on your physical and mental health every day. Headaches, fatigue, upset stomach, irritability, anger, lack of motivation and even depression and anxiety. Excessive job stress can even make you lose your appetite and sex drive…

I love working with a timer!  Mine is actually an electronic timer that looks like an hour glass.  As a matter of fact I just set it, giving myself 15 minutes to work on this post.

I have learned a lot about myself being self-employed and one of those things is that I am a starter.  I have a tendency to…

Is there something in your life that you've been trying to do but just haven't been able to get it done? Like losing those few extra pounds but just can't? Exercising more but it's not happening? Starting your own business but not getting it off the ground? Doing that new hobby but not making the time? Maybe it's time for an accountability buddy!



Accountability partners can be near or far. They can be friends or acquaintances. They can be for work, exercise, diet, fun—anything you…

These past few weeks have thrown for me a loop. It’s not as though a major incident occurred but there were so many little things that took me off my usual track. My sleep, exercise, and mostly my eating habits were affected and I’m really paying for it now.

First, I’ve indulged a bit too much in sweets! I received a package from a co-worker in London that literally had about 30 candy bars. NO…..I didn’t eat them all! But I certainly had a good amount. My willpower has abandoned me…

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING! as a new blogger i didn't think about how i would find the time to do this daily. i thought i would bring you along with me on a journey of hard work and wonderful rewards every day. i promise to make it here more than once a week from now on. …

My sister and her family vacationed near the Mayan Ruins this Summer Solstice and my niece took this photo for me.  I share it with you along with relating an experience I had around the same time, Summer…

Einstein was right – time is only an illusion.  He suggests that time expands or contracts depending on how we choose to fill it.  Meaning, we use more time or less time to accomplish the same work depending on how we choose to fill time.  Allow me to illustrate this using the example of cleaning our home.  This…

This question keeps popping up so I just had to write about it!

Danielle LaPorte’s (http://www.daniellelaporte.com/ ) Spark Kit asks:

"What do you think your form of genius is?"

"What are you amazing at?"

Many respond: “my courage, my kindness, my caring, my personality, my sense of humor” and then kinda scratch their head… “but how do I leverage these qualities in my business?”

More often…

I have been blogging for just over six months now. This week I have been re-examining the parameters of my blog and thus thinking a lot about wellness and balance.

To me, wellness is finding balance. I think a life in balance includes mind, body and soul all being fulfilled equally. In this way, balance is fleeting and really a constant goal. Any change in your life can push you out of balance.

My next act of wellness was to focus on achieving work-life balance. It has honestly always seemed like something that is unattainable, especially now that I am a working mom!

Do you ever wish yourself back into your childhood days where you didn’t feel burdened by work, family and financial obligations?  Or do you feel like you’re life is just career, family and long to-do lists leaving you stressed to the max?   This is something I continually hear from my women clients.  



While they have a good career, relationship and friends, there never seems to be enough time, money or opportunities to help them really get out of the sense of overwhelm.  Let’s be…

Today I was working on a presentation for some more junior folks on my team about the project I am working on. I decided to add some tips on "how" I was navigating challenges in my current project, and I thought I would share with the community as well. It's a strategic leadership role, and these tidbits will definitely become part of my leadership mantra.

• Be brave – everyone else is afraid so you can't be. Wake up every morning and remind yourself that what you do every day is…

Last Friday I had lunch with an old client. I haven’t had much contact with him in the last five years so I wanted to catch up. He’s been pretty successful since we last spoke, so I wanted to catch up on his journey and also catch him up on my adventures.

He talked about his evolution to find what drove him and made him happy every day at work. He said he had reached a point a few years ago where he dreaded going into work every day. He thought he was working in an area that didn’t…

Many of you may have noticed in my blogging that there is a common theme – so much intent to slow the pace of my life and fill my senses with our whole world, yet I continually struggle with work, work, and more work. So many of us have this battle every day whether it be taking time away from our kids for ourselves or…

If you've ever read Timothy Ferriss' amazing book The 4-Hour Work Week, there's one story that always blows me away... it's so inspiring, here it is:

My plate is full.  Some would say that it is too full.  When I worked outside the home I was the best at doing a million things at once.  Plan a presentation while finalizing analysis of my new program design. A snap.  Come home and make dinner while picking up the apartment and writing out a few checks before my husband arrived. Did it. But things have changed and I feel frustrated.

 …

I'm fortunate to be taking some time off before I find my next position.  Instead of jumping immediately to the next thing, I really wanted to explore what matters most to me.  So far, I have found that the most important thing to is to find work that I love... that really inspires me.

Do you love your work?

What about it do you love... what inspires you?
