Wisdom can be found in places you wouldn’t expect, like Dr. Suess books and nursery rhymes. As I sat to write this blog, I stumbled upon a picture of the words to a nursery rhyme most of us have heard over and over. When I read it today, the sing-song lyrics played between my ears… View Article
In many ways, I rely on reframing my mindset to do hard things. When a cardinal shows up outside my window, I know Mahtab is with me and all is well. When good things happen amidst challenges, I focus on them rather than the challenge and it fuels me forward. When I’d rather not exercise,… View Article
Options and choices. They’re not the same. Most people use the words interchangeably. They’re not the same. Options are what you’re relegated to when you don’t choose. Choice is deciding or selecting amongst everything available. You’re basing your decision on what’s available from the maximum possibilities. It’s abundant, powerful, and forward-looking. You’re moving toward something…. View Article
“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. In… View Article

In terms of working with clients, trying new experiences, and learning new things, asking the right question will offer improved results: Could we? Yes, is almost always the answer.

January certainly seemed full. Being from Minnesota we tend to think of January as the longest month of the year. Many of us enjoy the snow through the holidays and then jokingly (not really) say we’d like all the snow to be done and spring to arrive. Only it doesn’t work that way. This year,… View Article
Rest. It’s an easily neglected, almost forgotten part of any self-proclaimed overachiever’s health routine. For years, I prided myself of the high energy I came into the world with, easily going without sleep in my twenties and thirties while also maintaining my performance for days and weeks on end. It was a gift I could… View Article
Easing into the day. It’s not my thing. I don’t drink coffee, though I have created a practice to begin the first 15 minutes of my day with meditation, appreciation, and envisioning success for the day which I do consistently.
