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...

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.

Her anxiety ripped into high gear. It was hard to sleep –

But sleep was all she wanted to do....

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...

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...

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...

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?

THAT’s IT?

What the...

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...

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.

Which one, tho? I’m ridiculously lazy about...

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…

*THIS* job wasn’t “it” … And *NOPE* - not that thing wasn’t it either… AND also

*OMG* I spent money on this...

Jack sidled up next to me yesterday at the picnic table & checked out my screen so he could comment on what I was up to.

You need to know that my kiddo is 13, precocious, opinionated, and likes to sometimes Mansplain stuff to me.

My screen portrayed a slide deck in its infancy – and...

Two years ago, I thought I had a superpower.

But was it REALLY a superpower? I mean – this thing was soooo easy for me to do.

This speaks to a long-standing limiting belief deep inside my mind that for something to be VALUABLE –
