Come On, Get Happy!

Things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows here at Sage Grayson Coaching. I go through periods of self-doubt, burnout, and sadness just like anyone else.

Does Your Name Matter?

A new character was recently introduced on my favorite TV show…and her name is Sage. She’s not much like me.

People pat you on the back and shake your hands while you make your way down the aisle, being careful not to step on the hem of your jewel-encrusted gown. Applause fills the room as you gracefully ascend the stairs to collect that shining award. “It’s heavier than…

How to Make a Tough Decision Without Having Your Head Explode

How many decisions do you make in a day? A dozen? A hundred? A thousand? There are so many little things to consider: Should I get up now or hit the snooze button again? Should I pack a healthy lunch or grab something at the sandwich shop? Does the weather seem nice enough for a…
