I recently saw the Tom Hanks movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a story about an incredible human being. You didn’t have to grow up with him to appreciate the plot, which is about a reporter’s experience with the man as he interviewed him. I won’t tell you anymore because you just have to […]
Need to reduce your stress? Read this.
Regardless of your political affiliation, recent months have been filled with crucial conversations where opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong. The authors of the best-selling book, Crucial Conversations, tell us that during such times, we are often at our worst. We feel under pressure, stumped, and tend to act in self-defeating ways. […]

YOUR HEALTH I always encourage my clients to forgo their weight-loss goals from now to New Year’s. Putting that expectation upon ourselves when the next two months center around food is a recipe for disappointment. This doesn’t mean, however, that we gorge ourselves and go hog-wild. Our focus should be maintaining not only our weight […]
Why You Need a Coach
Back in my corporate days, I had a mentor/coach on retainer. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel qualified for the position, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I appreciated having someone available to bounce things off of and talk through challenging situations. This resource allowed me to make better decisions, communicate more effectively, […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have trained with me or attended any of my fitness classes, you know I am a water Nazi.

Its role is to limit physical damage from illness or injury by responding to invaders like viruses, bacterial infections, toxins, and something as simple as a splinter. […]
Coaching can help you press on
I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]
Where are your manners?
Our local news channel 3 has a segment called “Caught Misbehaving” where a reporter films people doing, well, bad things! One show highlighted people running through stop signs and another was people not slowing down for pedestrians as they crossed the street. What I find frustrating about the premise is that he never corrects the […]

YOUR HEALTH When I was younger, I was addicted to cardio classes. I loved the adrenaline rush and burn. The harder the class, the more fun. As I got older, however, I learned the importance of weight-bearing exercise. Like many women, I was afraid I would bulk out and that wasn’t the look I […]
I will not say no – not today. Say yes to something that challenges you!
It was 93 degrees—the heat of the day—and I decided to run the steep hill located near our house. It’s a road that leads to a cell tower. It isn’t anything special, but the switchbacks are a butt buster. My goal was up and down three times for a total of three miles. The pavement […]
