There are two types of people in the world:

First up are the people who are totally comfortable having those little red indicator numbers all over their phone.

Me? I’m the second one – a person who dreams of inbox ZERO.

Nothing unread. Everything responded to – or filed.

My addiction to the invisible finish line

I’ve got a little habit that’s becoming an ugly addiction - 

I could put a stop to it…but I’m simply not doing much about it.

Around 9:15ish every night, I give a big yawn & say G’night to my husband & son –

They’re eager to start watching...

Can we pretend this never happened?

I wanted to pretend that COVID wasn’t happening.

Back in late February 2020, when COVID was starting to become part of everyday life in the US –

I wondered if I should mention it in my content…

I thought This is going to go away soon.

Do I want to address it in a blog someone...

The job had been dropped in her lap accidentally. She was sure of it.

Muddling through her new position as Director of Client Relations, Rachael waited to be found out for the fraud she was.

What fresh hell is next – and when will I get a damn BREAK?

Every night I’m eating chips. I’m not even hungry! Why am I doing this?

I just want to stop drinking at night. But every night, I’m pouring myself a glass.

I’m snapping at my kids. I hate myself – and I think they hate me.

I’m embarrassed that I know the UPS...

Unfortunately, I dreamed of being RICH RICH RICH!

It’s 1959 & your husband has unexpectedly died. You have two sons – 9 & 12.

Being a single woman in 1959, you don’t have an education or many options.

You go to work doing the only work you think you’re qualified for: cleaning at a local nursing home.

This is my...

My family went on vacation without me – and it was friggin’ GREAT!

Maybe at the beginning of COVID quarantine you began to love the scaling back of ‘shit to do’.

The “doing less”…

Maybe there was more quiet in your life…

I’m not gonna bullshit you & say everything’s been COVID-hunky dory over here in...

Not Being Seen Is Holding You Back

The doctor shrugged at me. I’d just turned 40, and shit was starting to go south.

Not sleeping. Weight gain. ZERO libido. Exhaustion.

He shrugged and said, “Well. You’re 40. That’s what it’s like.”

THAT’S WHAT IT’S LIKE?

When you’re clueless about what makes you special

I’ve told you about my $250,000 Ph.D. in business, right?

It was exquisitely personalized – teaching me business from the inside out –

which is why it cost so much.

I paid for it with a $25K upfront investment, no salary draw, & plenty of sweat equity.

Take that part about...

How to make your offer sound special

Before COVID, I had an unwavering commitment to my eyelash extensions – like, maybe more serious than to my marriage. ;)

But now, I don’t wanna go back to them – because of both time & money. So I need a good mascara.

No one was expecting that superpower

I hit a nerve last week.

MANY readers sent thank you messages after my post because I talked about how we’re not failures because…
