The best thing I could have ever done

The best thing I could have ever done. Let me set you up with a little personal history…. I was born in the waiting room in the hospital, mom wasn’t even admitted yet. I came out in a cool 15 minutes screaming, “everybody outta my way I am HERE!” (Shocker) Since then I have been labeled many things that continually leaned on the side of “miss independent,” and yes, I prided myself, to a … [Read more...]

I'm going to work to be concise with this one, focusing on the group of people I hear this from the most, women from about … [Read more...]

I KNEW I would NEVER be able to do it

A thought. The noise. The sabotage. The belief. The truth. The work. The event. The payoff. .   A thought. “One day I will do that. One day.” The noise. “Wait, there’s no way I could ever do that.” The sabotage. “It will be difficult.

Let’s play a game (part 2)

Let’s play a game part 2    Today’s game is called, “What is the benefit of the benefit,” and I’m making it clear right now, this one is kind of long, but entertaining, as I have heard all of this in my daily trainings!   Let’s go with beer.
