I love this quote by Osho, “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.”

But what I now know to be closer to the truth is that mothers are made, not born.

For me, motherhood was an intellectual concept until, gradually, it became an experience and finally, an obsession.

Yes, the moments ...

When you were in your 20’s, did you ever think about how you would like to be remembered?

The answer from most of us is a hell no!

I’m a creature of the seasons.

Born in the last weeks of winter, I carry the slow awakening of the snow covered seed and the hibernating bear inside me like a long held memory.

The memory lives in my body much more than in my head. When Spring feel...

I write to understand myself.

It’s the kind of writing I almost never share publicly. It’s messy and vulnerable. And almost always, I don’t look at it again! I just tuck it away somewhere like a message in a bottle for someone else to find when I’m ...

I love all my clients, but I adore the young adults. 

Because they have had less time to be shaped by their environment, they tend to be more open-minded and less set in their ways. They are often more willing to experiment with creating a new ident...

One of my vices is my attachment to watching reality shows!

I’m not proud of it.

It's the kind of activity that doesn't require much brain power, allowing me to multitask and divert my attention to several things. But it seems to be the perfect ant...

If I could go back 20 years in time and coach, really coach, my 30-ish self, she would:

1. Realize — in her bones, and not just in the Instagram-filled areas of her brain — that she is far more powerful than she realizes.

We made it!
