Do you know your blind spots?
October 26th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTThese are holding you back (and you don't even know it). I'm talking about your blind spots. Blind spots are the beliefs, narratives and behaviors that hold you back. You either don't see them (at all) or you (falsely) believe that they're helpful. H ...

October 19th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTAm I making a BIG mistake? What if I'm wrong? Will this decision be a total bust? Will I regret this? That's my inner voice any time I make a big decision, such as when I...chose where to go to law school, accepted my first law firm offer,left my fir ...
From worry to freedom
October 12th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTI'm not as smart as they think (what happens when they figure it out)? They made a mistake in promoting me (I'm not ready). Who am I to think people should listen to what I have to say? Those thoughts were mine:A few months after I started practicing ...

You deserve to feel... (this)
September 28th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTPicture this... Holding conference calls from bed. Attempting to draft large documents on my laptop while lying down. It was May 2005, and I was on bed rest thanks to pre-term labor contractions. Instead of taking time off to rest, I acted as if I c ...

Did you see this? (How to feel content)
September 17th, 2021 at 3:32 pm CSTI rarely resend emails that were sent out earlier in the week. But today I'm breaking my rule because of how often I see this holding my clients back. *****Two boring parents. Very little house-hold drama (other than the occasional boy-crazed outburs ...
Do you do this too?
September 14th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTTwo boring parents. Very little house-hold drama (other than the occasional boy-crazed outburst from her older sister). Every time she complained about her family I'd think. . . at least you don't have to worry about what time (or whether) your mom ...
Moving on
September 7th, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTWith a big smile (I've never before seen in such a serious woman), she looked me in the eye to say "Heather, you've graduated." This is what my oncologist said at my annual appointment last Thursday. Not understanding what she was talking about, I a ...
3 ways to reduce stress (right now)
August 31st, 2021 at 8:00 am CSTI kept going back and forth between thoughts of "Heather, you can do this" to "OMG, this is madness." I was in the middle of my busiest season, and was beginning to recognize the warning signs that meant I'd soon fall into a stress spiral if I did ...
