No pain, no gain - but not the way you think

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

If you have kids and they are out of school, I hope your summer is off to a great start. I know (from years of personal experience) that this can be a particularly crazy time of year, and I hope that you are walking through it as gracefully as...

Saying “no” to the good to pursue the great

How are we in the last few days of May? Is it just me, or has May simply flown by?

May is always a full month - I’ve learned that over many years, but I usually forget until it sneaks up on me. So when I find myself more overwhelmed than usual this time of year, I have to remind myself that...

Why you should be playing more - no matter what your age!

I love a good obscure, little known “holiday”! 

Some are a little over the top, like “Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day” (January 22, in case you want to celebrate it next year.)

But some of those “holidays” get me thinking about something that I...

Being content: Is what you have the thing you hoped for?

Hello and Happy Monday!

The last few days have been a whirlwind for me - and it got me thinking of you and something you might resonate with.

Last Thursday, I flew from Minnesota (my home base) to Florida. On Friday, I spoke four times at a partner retreat, then I flew to California to speak at...

It’s Well-Being Week in Law!

Happy May 1! It’s incredible that May is already here, and - with it - Mental Health Awareness Month.

And not only that, this week, May 1 - May 5, is Well-Being Week in Law. Every year, the first week of May is designated “Well-Being Week in Law” (WWIL), and many...

Fact or fiction? Stress can be good for you!

April is Stress Awareness Month, so I wanted to spend a little time thinking with you about stress so you can be more aware of it (notice that it’s stress “awareness” month, not just stress “management” month.)

What is the definition of stress?

There are several...

What's your greatest fear? Is it stopping you? change fear growth

Spring has finally arrived here in Minnesota. It took longer than usual by a few weeks, and I almost wiped a little tear of joy from my cheek when I looked at the extended forecast and saw that our daily high was over freezing for the foreseeable future, even shooting into the 60's and 70's.

April is Stress Awareness Month

Happy April! There’s still snow on the ground here in Minnesota, but spring is inevitable (it is inevitable, right?!? It’s been a very long winter.) 

How about you? I hope the flowers are peaking through (or for some of you, those flowers are in full bloom!).

A few resources and...

When doing nothing is really something

The end of March is around the corner. It's the end of the first quarter of the year. About 25% of 2023 is in the rear-view mirror.

If you're anything like me, it's flown by. As in, it feels like I just put away the holiday decorations and suddenly it's April next week. How is that possible?

The awkward conversation that you MUST have

How do you feel about talking about money? 

Does it make you uncomfortable? Or maybe it's totally neutral? 

Is it something you can only talk about with certain people?

Research shows that if you're like most people, you really don't like to talk about money, and you'd rather...

It's not all about how smart you are! health mindset strength work/life balance
