Hello, readers! I hope your week's going well. If you've been putting into practice anything from last week around eliminating negative self-talk, I would love to hear about it. Shoot me an email here! And if it's something you're still trying to figure out how to tackle, I'd love to chat with you. Tying in with the idea of our self-talk, and as promised, this week I have such a special guest contributor, Stephanie Warren, who I'm so excited to introduce you to. Stephanie is a bridge-builder connecting people, ideas, and resources to inspire action. Through her weekly newsletter, BOLDideas, she explores topics that challenge conventional thinking and encourages readers to become BOLDER versions of themselves, offering practical tools to spark growth. I know you'll love what she has to share! This article is about powerful, personal narratives. If you've seen Ted Lasso you'll know (and love!) Hannah Waddingham who plays the powerful and inspiring Rebecca. Want to know more?

This week I’m in New York with my best friend, someone who passes...
On Sunday, I did something I never thought I’d do . . a Spartan Deka event. It’s a strength event with 10 stations like rowing, sled pushes, burpees, farmer’s carries, box step-overs, and similar and the goal is to complete them as fast as you can. I never would have done it if not for my friend Karen. She asked me, encouraged me, asked me again, and challenged me into signing up with her as a team. Left to my own, I’d probably never have done it. But thanks to her encouragement and her not...
Hey Reader, A few weeks ago, I found out my position as an Executive Assistant with an International company was being made redundant. I definitely didn’t see it coming. But after the dust settled, I reminded myself of something I often say to my clients: focus on what you can control, not what you can’t. I couldn’t control the redundancy. But I could control my response. I could choose to panic and fall into a negative mental loop, or I could take the energy and move it into something...
