Go Help Yourself!
We all want to be better, but sometimes self-help gets a bad rap. People might think it’s about neglecting responsibilities or quick fixes. But the truth is, self-care takes work! It’s not about magic potions or fairy dust – lasting improvement requires effort. Think about basic self-care routines. They’re small systems that keep us grounded […]
POOF! There it is!
Today is a day in the middle of the week… the middle of your life… the middle of the Universe. Does it really matter what day it is? Let’s call today the day you were going to start being that person? The person you admire. The one that hits the goals you’ve been aiming for […]
Plan Your Flexibility
I love planning – it gives me a sense of control (lol) and a roadmap for the future. But all the planning in the world won’t guarantee a perfectly predictable day. Weather can change, people make mistakes, technology glitches – it’s all possible. To try to stay flexible so that I don’t lose my mind […]

I don’t always feel like doing what I need to do, but skipping it creates a cycle of guilt and heavier work later. Here’s how I beat procrastination. First, I take the pressure off.

Mission Impossible
Have you ever dreamt of a career but dismissed it as ‘unrealistic’? I did. But then I got a job doing kids’ parties.

Get Triggered
Have you ever walked past a bakery and suddenly craved a donut, even if you weren’t thinking about a snack five minutes ago? That’s the power of a trigger!

Temptation Bundling
