I had a total “working mom on the verge” moment yesterday. I was plowing through work before I unplugged for a live meeting (meaning I had to be showered and dressed professionally, no hiding behind the laptop!) when the babysitter messaged me saying she had a family emergency and couldn’t come. Working mom guilt kicked in… The little … Read More

Creating Time for Creativity
I had coffee today with a friend. As I walked into the front door and took my first whiff of the baked goods and caffeinated happiness I was about to put in my hungry face, I was finishing an internal conversation that sounded something like this: “I don’t have time for this” “I should be using this time … Read More
Don’t Like Something? Stand Up and Change It!
“Life has no remote….get up and change it yourself!” ― Mark A. Cooper One of my dear friends is feeling overwhelmed. She is bringing work home with her, isn’t getting enough “off” time, personal priorities are taking a backseat to work and she isn’t feeling like she has reached her true professional potential. Can you … Read More
The Big Power of a Little Break
Last night after a long day of work, I was folding laundry with my daughter. I was tired and grouchy and was snippy. My daughter talks a lot and I wasn’t able to keep up with answering her questions and funneling her incredible energy while doing chores (which was the last thing I wanted to be doing after a … Read More
New Awakening, New Wild Web Woman Adventure
I left the confines of corporate hell over a decade ago. I could do my job anywhere as long as I had a computer and an internet connection, so having to commute to an office and deal with inefficiencies (water cooler talk, distractions, politics, time driving) and unnecessary expenses (dry cleaning, gas, work lunches) felt ridiculous to me. … Read More

Being clear on what you want is the most challenging … Read More
On A New Path
This is my first personal blog post in over a year. As a woman who always has something to say, not be able to blog felt really out of character for me (especially because I blog for dozens of clients daily!). As I move into my 38th year of life and reflect on the past year, the reason I wasn’t a … Read More

I’m getting a hard-off
Being a business owner, mom and wife is not always easy. Running my company basically requires that I have functional ADHD to juggle administrative, operations and sales/marketing responsibilities to keep my company’s ship afloat. My husband travels 4-5 days a week for his job, so making sure my little pumpkin is healthy, fed, cleaned, clothed, … Read More
Get Your Life On a Positive Roll
This is a real photo from the guest bathroom of my house. Not only has the toilet paper roll gone un-replaced, but the roll on the toilet bowl is almost empty. SERIOUSLY??!!! Leaving an empty toilet paper roll says one or more of these things: I don’t give a shit I’m too lazy to care … Read More
