The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #27 Hi Reader, A few years ago, I was working with a client who’d spent the better part of a decade trying to “find her purpose.” She’d taken career assessments, worked with multiple coaches, and even left a stable job to pursue what she thought was her calling, only to find herself more confused than ever. Her voice carried that mix of longing and frustration I know so well, because I’ve heard it from countless women in my coaching and healing work, and I’ve…

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #26 Hi Reader, Each month, I run a little life experiment, a simple, focused way to try something new and see what shifts. These experiments help me create change without pressure or overwhelm. Some of them last a week, others stretch into a full month depending on what I’m exploring. Last month’s experiment was all about boosting joy and movement. I started each day with dancing. I love to dance and don’t do it nearly enough, so I made it easy, a Spotify…

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #25 Hi Reader, A few years ago, I sat in a doctor’s office explaining a mix of fatigue, swelling in my feet, unexpected weight gain, and a vague but persistent sense that something was “off.” . My vitals were fine, my overall health was good and I was approaching fifty. I remember the doctor sitting on her stool tilting her head and saying, “Well, eat better and get more exercise.” My mouth dropped open. I had just told her I walked three miles a day, did…

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #24 Hi Reader, I woke up at 4:42 a.m. one day last week, flip flopped around a bit and squished my pillow into a multitude of shapes as if it would magically cradle me back to sleep. My mind is a busy place, and that day was no different. I began thinking about some changes I’m making in my business, the book I’m working on, and a new project; lo and behold, some self-doubt crept in. (Funny how those wee hours when thoughts ping-pong around your brain sprout…

Amidst all the cookouts, parades, and fireworks I entered Logan International airport with tears streaming down my face. I checked two pieces of luggage and boarded a plane to take me three thousand miles away from everything and everyone I knew. That was thirteen years ago. The buildup to that move was long and bumpy. There was a fair amount of second-guessing myself, last-minute decisions by others that shifted the course, and some healthy…

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #21 Hi Reader, I was at a writing retreat a couple of years ago when the instructor asked us to set an intention for the session. Each person shared a goal – edit two chapters, write five thousand words, clarify the theme and plot. When it was my turn I said “My goal is to have a fully fleshed outline, but my intention is to be open and curious as I tune into my deep well of knowledge.” This led to a lively conversation about goals, intentions, and…

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #18 Hi Reader, I celebrated my 60th birthday a little over a year and a half ago. In the months leading up to it, something shifted—not all at once, but gradually. I kept thinking: This is the beginning of the end. Things are supposed to slow down now. And without realizing it, I started shrinking. A couple of new opportunities came up in my business, but I let them quietly wither. I stopped taking new art classes. I turned down social invitations. Nothing…
