You've heard of the 4-day work week, haven't you Friend? Work 4 days a week, take 3 off for a long weekend. If you're like me, you're probably thinking… Sounds great but not realistic. Which is why, when bankruptcy attorney Patrick Patino told me a ...

Not supposed to celebrate this (but do)

February 21st, 2023 at 8:00 am CDT

Back when I had cancer, I watched my fellow chemo compatriots ring the bell on their last day of treatment with envy. [Cancer patients often ring a ceremonial bell to celebrate a stage of treatment ending]. During my first few weeks of treatment, I c ...

They don't teach this in school

February 14th, 2023 at 8:00 am CDT

Ever seen the movie Inside-Out? It’s probably my favorite coaching movie ever. Yes, I said coaching (not animated movie or kids movie - and it’s both of those things too) because it shows how to think about your inner critical voice. You know the ...

How are you positioning yourself?

Picture it…Black pencil skirt.Azure blue shirred top (that made my blue eyes sparkle).Brand-new black leather sling-back pumps.It was my first in-person meeting with a new client I had big hopes for, and I wanted to feel ah-mazing. And I did... unt ...
