How cutting up a credit card started the path to paying off debt. I said goodbye to a few old frenemies today. My Target RedCard, Southwest Visa and American Express credit cards. We have a lot of credit card debt accounts but these three all had a special place in my wallet, which is why […]

Money is weird. It doesn’t seem like it should be. At its simplest form, money is a tool of exchange used to facilitate transactions. It represents value and allows us to trade goods and services without the need for direct bartering.

Ever since I could make money, I spent beyond my means. I’ve always worked really hard so I could never really understand why I was constantly behind on bills; I should have been rolling in it. And over the years I have made sure that was the perception, within reason of course. I’m nothing if not Midwest Nice and would never want anyone to feel ‘less than’ around me.

For three full days I struggled with listening to and caring for myself versus disappointing someone else. I’ll be honest here, and this is embarrassing, I thought of many lies I could have told her that would have ‘forgiven’ me; illness that would have let me off the hook. But what kind of self-care coach would I be if I did that?

“Make sure you didn’t just buy yourself a job.”This piece of advice hit hard. One day, after a couple of years in, I was bartending at our wine bar and I was like, “oh fuck, I just bought myself a bartending job.” I swore I hung up my last bar rag in my late twenties. Very soon after that, I changed my perspective on hiring staff, rearranged the budget and started delegating tasks that I either didn’t like to do or just was plain not good at.

How many times have you said this to yourself? Well, you’re in good company. I am in my mid-forties and there are days where I just cannot seem to adult. Where I feel like EVERYONE else has their shit together.

As we navigate through the various stages of life, we often encounter moments of introspection and self-reflection. One common phenomenon that we experience is often referred to as a “midlife crisis.” This is not uncommon after the death of someone as close as a parent but there are many other situations that have us questioning our purpose here; empty nests, career and work changes, relationship shifts, infidelity, traumatic accidents or revelations, etc. But it also doesn’t have to be anything dramatic. Age can simply be the reason we start questioning our existence. It’s essential to delve deeper into this concept to understand whether it’s genuinely a crisis or simply a natural part of the human journey.

It’s my baby brother’s birthday today. Thirty-six years ago that bouncing baby boy came in to this world, much to my older sister and my dismay, but, he has proven himself over the last three and half decades by making us laugh with his stories, antics and all-around jovial attitude. The below video was taken […]
Before I left for a walk today, I had to download a new audio book. I have been listening to the same 3-4 for the last few months, so I thought it was about time to shake things up. Since I planned to walk about 6 miles, I needed something to hold my attention for […]
Today I sort of wanted to quit writing about this. Partly because I am sick of hearing all of my woe is me (maybe you are too) and partly because this is for sure where I give up. Two weeks? Yah, that’s my quitting cue. I don’t see the results I expect, I get tired […]
Two weeks used to seem like forever, but now that I’m here, it’s really no big deal. The time does pass anyway. I saw this quote today when I was looking for inspiration. It seems to have found me instead. I can agree with the first sentence, the rest we’ll have to see, but it […]
Warning: Be careful if you’re feeling good. I literally received an email today from OYNB with this as the subject line. Sounds crazy I know, but you’ll see why this is so true. Body + Mind 206.1 I woke up at 4:15 this morning and I wasn’t tired, stepped on that scale to a pleasant surprise, had […]
The following is going to address time. It seems to be the biggest argument for not following through on a healthy goal, and for 20+ years it was my numero uno excuse. My plate has not been any less full in the last 16 days than it was the 16 days before that. Possibly the […]
If you want something, you have to ACT as if you already have it. Not that long ago, I thought I had tried everything to lose weight. Every attempt and failure solidified my conclusion that I “just can’t lose weight.” I would give “everything” I had for two weeks and then see very little to […]
I honestly didn’t know that I would get here. I have now been through two full sober weekends with another one looming. I had this creepy feeling this whole week that whatever I did that was positive would be sabotaged by the weekend. As I have mentioned before, many times, I have quit by now. […]
I am taking a little different approach rather than chopping this up in to categories. Today is about the “why” of this journey. And, if you haven’t discovered already, this is about way more than just drinking for me. I knew in my heart of hearts that this one habit was at the top of […]
You’ll find me to be a vibrant and unapologetic woman who wholeheartedly embraces the Law of Attraction, isn’t afraid to drop the f-bomb when needed, and loves with everything I’ve got. I’m all about proving that the impossible is possible, especially when others say it can’t be done. My passion is empowering women in midlife to live authentically, boldly, and without apology. If you’re ready to break free from societal expectations and pursue your ambitions with confidence, you’re in the right place.
