Your goals and your dreams should be synonymous. – SG – This week, my clients shared some of their biggest desires for the next 1-3 years, and as I was reviewing them I felt a familiar physical feeling when I witness people aim for, what feels like, impossible dreams: PURE ALIVENESS.

Good Morning ! How are you?! I’m been thinking a lot about our DOING. We rush. We to-do list. We act in service to our spouse, our kids, our work.

I was working with one of my clients last week and she started sharing about her future.

Do you think you listen when someone speaks or do you think you hear them? Do you think there’s a difference? There was a time when my husband would say, “That’s great you let me babble while you multitasked, but did you listen to what I had to say?” Admittedly, I’d heard him, but I More

TRUTH TIME. There were many years in my marriage, in the boardroom, and — I’m embarrassed to admit this — but also with my children…where I kept my mouth shut.
