Good hard vs. bad hard (this makes all the difference)

March 30th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

When I had breast cancer, a couple of people gave me Christian devotionals. Although I am a Christian, I couldn't help but wonder how on earth these would help me. I didn't want more faith. What I wanted were assurances that:my treatment would work,m ...

That time I felt like I was suffocating (by my career choices)

March 23rd, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

I was in a respected profession, making good money and had everything going for me. . . Or so it seemed to the rest of the world. The only problem was that I felt like I was suffocating. By the career that I'd long wanted worked so hard for (and if I ...

No one to blame (but me)

March 16th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

I was mad at myself, seriously overwhelmed and a little sick to my stomach. It was 2009. The financial market crash had hit my business HARD. And I was scheduled to meet a potential new client (that I very much wanted + needed) in just 2 days. Eve ...

Is work life balance real? [Hint: no, but that's okay]

March 9th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

Everyone wants it, and we keep talking about how to find it. Yet few people ever seem to have it. The 'it' I'm talking about is. . . work life balance. The truth is that work life balance doesn't really exist. At least not in the way we typically def ...

It's here, Friend

Today is an exciting day because. . . The Life Law Podcast is finally a real live thing. [If you're not sure what the heck I'm talking about, here's where I spilled the beans]. The first 3 episodes have dropped and I think you’ll LOVE the first o ...

Holding on vs. letting go

February 23rd, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

Last week I gave you the details regarding my upcoming podcast (that launches next week!). Did you notice the date change, Friend? Over the past 2 months, I've mentioned (more than a few times) that the podcast would launch in late February. But miss ...

Scared to death

February 16th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

In just 2 weeks my podcast launches. And I keep wondering. . . Will anyone listen?Will people like it?Will it even grow (and if so, how fast)?My answers (in order) are. . . no clue (but I hope so), I really hope so, and who knows (but again, I hope s ...

Your choice

February 9th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

Last week I talked about how my fear of success has been holding me back from starting my podcast. What I didn't mention is that starting a podcast has been in the back of my mind for almost 2 years. But it was never the right time because. . . I was ...

I'm embarrassed to admit this

February 2nd, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

Over the holidays, I caught up with a former colleague and friend who mentioned that she'd expected me to be 'big' by now. . . Speaking on big stages. With a well-known podcast of my own. A recognized name (like Jen Hatmaker or Rachel Hollis). Ouch, ...

It has to be better (or does it?)

January 26th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

I keep hearing about how 2021 has to be better than 2020, especially since: it's a new year (with a new US President),there's a COVID vaccine, more places will begin to open up as the pandemic winds down, and so on. That's all nonsense because things ...
