I wish I could get all my energy back that went down the drain because of this.   I bet you do too…   Actually, let’s be more dramatic about it, because I do believe it’s a tragedy:  if I could, I’d declare this one behavior pattern the number one enemy of state.   Was it Blackberry - not to throw punches - who originally thought it was a good idea to market it as “more freedom”  being able to write emails from the beach?   Well, you live, you learn but who really feels a sen

I think it was in a Glennon Doyle podcast where I heard her sister say:   I put the fun  in fun ction.   Even though I consider myself to be someone who at least has the capacity of being fun...   I felt that.   I spent this last week on Gran Canaria in Spain, mainly just keeping with my yearly tradition to avoid November in the cold country I call home. But also - in all honesty - I was ready for a change of scenery and really needed a break.   Plus, I craved more space to w

This is a real question.   Am I too sensitive or is this world just too flippin’ much??   I know I talked about the numbers end of the sensory overload we all experience a couple weeks ago, so there’s literal proof that that’s not made up.   So many of us live lives that look like the suitcases people lug back from a weekend Christmas shopping trip. Merely getting the suitcase closed takes one person sitting on top of it, and the other pulling on the zipper with rubber gloves

You know that feeling of putting off something important?   You know it’s coming, you know you can’t avoid it but part of you is just not ready to face it?   So you don’t think about it, maybe you even convince yourself it’s not that imortant or you’re really just making too big of a deal out of it.   Then you try to justify the status quo and find all kinds of reasons how you could probably make this work, it’s not really that bad is it?   All the positive aspects suddenly s

Ok so since last week’s newsletter was about letting go ( read it here if you missed out ), it’s only natural that this week we talk about what we’re going to do with all that space we made from letting go of things that no longer serve us right? Out with the old, in with the new as they say…   Wrong.   Because Melanie, you talked about how letting go is so dang hard remember?   Right, right.   Ok so, what if letting go and making space go hand in hand?   Plus, if I may, what

Ever heard someone say: Just let it go…   and you stayed silent but secretly said to yourself:   I can’t.   I’ve been there.   Oh gosh, I’ve been there so many times.   And the funny (ok maybe not so funny) thing is: we don’t start out saying I can’t  to ourselves, we start out saying....   I don’t want to. This isn’t my fault, f*** them! Absolutely not, he’ll come around... or I am sure she’ll change her mind..   What we ignore when we say these things is that little pit in

I’m not going to lie, you know what has been driving me a little nuts lately?   The realization that we constantly strive for change -...

Let me take you....behind the poem. 🫢   When I write, I write straight from the heart, there's no other option - and this one I wrote a...

You don’t have to head straight into burning out for things to be too much sometimes (read that again).   I’m sure you’ve heard the term...

So, I’m just going to come out with it:   I’ve recently been told by my own coach that I just need to trust the process.   How rude.  ...

Oh boy, it’s been a week… you know the kind? When you have big plans and then somehow things just do not, and I emphasize, do not,  got...

Coming to you after a busy (too busy, I'll get into that next time...) week but last week I did find the time to reflect on some things...

I never wanted to be a coach. Growing up I probably watched Legally Blonde a few too many times, so all I wanted to be was: successful.  ...
