True leadership isn’t about job titles, spread sheets, or corner offices. People are often under the confusion that there are leaders and non-leaders in the world. The truth is, we are all leaders.  Leadership is available to anyone who is willing to practice courage  in...

“The opposite of play is not work – the opposite of play is depression.” Dr. Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute of Play Let’s face it, many of us are over-worked, over-committed, and over-stressed adults, raising children that are over...

Anxious? Bored? Numb? Stuck? Angry?

Today I felt like quitting. Maybe the coaching thing is just a scam. Maybe my dreams are too big. The learning curve is too steep. I am impatient. Greedy. Pushing to hard for things that maybe I am not meant to have. And then this in my “In box”: I just recently found...

There is an epidemic affecting the world. It affects our daily quality of life, our children, and has far reaching consequences for generations to come. I see it at my children’s elementary school, the grocery store, every restaurant I go to, the gym, the office, and at the...

Many people suffer from “time-envy”.  My clients with careers envy the time stay-at-home parents have. Stay-at-home parents envy the morning parade of cars filled with busy career people sipping coffee, off to have adult interaction.  We compare lives and create a multiple choice...

We all want stuff. Sometimes it’s a new car, a beach house, a ski condo, a great relationship, lose weight, get a promotion, live in the “right” neighborhood, or going to the “right” schools. Our family favorite is to win the lottery. It is awesome to dream and plan for thin...

I wasn’t really sure how to tell my husband. I mean, four was not really in our plan, but ya know, he’ll adjust. I mean really, after 3 babies, what’s one more? Everyone should have a baby. Don’t get me wrong, not everyone is meant to be a parent. However,...

Where do put your attention? Your time? Your focus? I guarantee wherever you’re thinking is, that is where your success is. You are 100% successful at what you think about. If you put your attention on practicing gymnastics 6 hours a week (like my son) you will get great at...

 “I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of...

Molly, my 4 year old is a big fan of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have a children’s book about his childhood. As with many children this age, once she locks in on a book or joke, she just can’t let go. I have read this book for 21 days in a row. Last night, at bedtime, she...

It’s not that your behind, multi-taking, juggling, balancing, teetering, or catering. It’s that you are not listening. Really listening. There are short, quick, powerful, life-altering lessons everywhere. Lessons so easy, their like raindrops falling effortlessly around you.

Bullies: They strengthen my resolve and force me to stick up for myself and others. I love a chance to be a hero, whether it is in my own life or someone else’s. Over-worked: A partner who works long, crazy hours: It allows me to provide for my family and realize how competent I...

There’s a lot of talk in magazines, blogs, television about keeping life “in balance”. When I think of keeping my life in balance, it feels like juggling, and let’s just say, I am not a juggler. Viewing my life as a “balancing act” leaves room...

The greatest turning point for me was in realizing that there are no negative or stressful feelings…it’s our attachments or resistance to the feelings that add stress and fear. The statement, “I shouldn’t feel jealous.” Is that true? In my experience it’s the denial of a feeling that causes heartache, depression, and self-criticism. Don’t believe me? Stick around.

The TurningPoint Blog! My intention is that this blog be a place to land to get a fresh perspective, get un-stuck and get out of your own way. I am not a professional blogger or writer, so this might not be perfect, but it will be fun, challenging and 200% me. I have developed my own coaching model that helps me work powerfully and successfully with clients. Here it is!
