How to Stop Waiting and START DOING

I’m a huge fan of the animated show The Simpsons. If you hang around me long enough, you’ll hear me insert random catchphrases from the show into my daily conversations. In one classic episode, the bumbling dad of the family, Homer, starts a snow plowing business. “Call Mr. Plow. That’s my name. That name again is…

How to Be the BEST YOU on Your Own Terms

One of the saddest situations my clients deal with is realizing that the decisions they made years ago have made their present lives worse. For many of them, this included quitting their jobs to take care of their kids. The choice may have been made out of love or what was best for their family…

Yes, Money CAN Buy Happiness

I firmly believe that anyone who says, “Money can’t buy happiness” has never actually been poor. They’ve never had to make impossible choices for their health and safety.
