I'm writing this blog after facilitating a retreat for YPO where most of the participants were 20-somethings. I was inspired by their strong intentions to be successful in all aspects of their lives. I was also touched by the incredible amount of pressure, expectations, confusion, and anxiety that they were...

We are all each other's teachers, and in all our relationships -- from family to colleagues to friends to romantic partners -- there are going to be times when our buttons get pushed. When someone does something that affects you in a negative way, what is your response? Do you...

Regret. We've all felt it at some point. Some of you are feeling it right now, and you are suffering because of it.

Something did or did not happen the way you wanted. You did or didn't do something the way you wished you would have. And you want more...

Can you relate to creating external results, and perhaps even achieving success in certain areas, but still not feeling a sense of fulfillment? You are not alone. A lot of us have gotten true fulfillment mixed up with fulfillment of duties and lead busy, but not necessarily full, lives.

True...

A basic principle of the law of attraction is that we will bring into our lives what we focus on, visualize, think about and affirm with our words. The law of attraction is both powerful and empowering because it helps us to remember we are co-creating our lives rather than...

Today I want to talk about a very subtle, but extremely important distinction to make for anyone who is on a personal growth path. I have noticed a trend of a misunderstanding in the self-improvement field that I observe many of my clients and readers buying into. My invitation to...

Today's generation of young adults are especially challenged in getting their careers off the ground as they face high unemployment rates and a bleak job market. According to recent census data, employment among young adults ages 16-29 stood at 55.3 percent, down from 67.3 percent in 2000 and...

Imagine you are just about to check your Facebook feed. Notice how you feel before you start. Now think about how you feel after you spend a good chunk of time you can never get back scrolling through the news feed, checking in on a few people's profile, and coming...

Perhaps you may relate to the following scenario: you have met someone you are falling for or have already fallen into a relationship. You love the same music, laugh at the same TV shows, read the same books and eat the same kind of food. Your conversations are endless and...

Dear members of Generation Y (or more simply stated, 20-somethings),

I am concerned about some members of your generation. It seems like the enthusiasm, optimism and excitement that has branded you is fading fast. The past two posts I wrote about cockpit parenting and being

If you haven't heard that Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married tomorrow, I seriously do not know how that is possible. The amount of "special reports" on the royal wedding is almost overwhelming. People from all over the world anxiously await the big day, throwing viewing parties and...

Perhaps you've heard the term "helicopter parenting" as a way to describe the way today's 20-somethings (Gen Y) were hovered over in childhood by their parents. As a life coach to 20-somethings and consultant to corporations with Gen Y employees, I've seen the effects of an even more intrusive child-rearing...

Today's 20-somethings (called Gen Y) grew up hearing: "Find a job that makes you happy"; "Follow your dreams and the money will follow"; "Discover your passion and that will lead you to success"; "Go to college, discover what you love and a career will follow." But has this well-intentioned advice...

At the end of a recent interview I did for an article on Gen Y, the twentysomethings of today, the reporter said to me, "Out of all the people I interviewed, you are the only one who had anything positive to say about this generation." That comment inspired this post....

When you think about what stresses you out, what comes to mind? Perhaps things like your job, money, relationships, health concerns or that never-ending to-do list. It seems like stress is everywhere in our lives! And when we think of managing our stress we usually try to come up with...

March 31st marked the end of Women's History Month, a celebration of women's contributions to history, culture and society throughout the history of our nation. Trailblazers like Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan who helped redefine the role of a woman in America come to mind.

Perhaps one of the...

Is there life after death? Can human intention change matter? Is there scientific proof for remote healing? Do we have a soul? How can life be sustained in harmony with ecology? These are among the many questions that were asked and answered at the first annual Sages and Scientists Symposium...

On New Years, we tend to make resolutions which are usually promises to do something "more, better, or different" as our society seems to revolve around the notion that there is always room for improvement. We vow to exercise more, get a better job, fall in love, or find a...

The holiday season is full of blessings and wonderful traditions; however, it can also be a very triggering time of year. Many who are single and don't like being single may find it especially difficult during Christmas. As chestnuts are roasting on an open fire and Jack Frost is nipping...

Dear Christine,
