A few weeks ago I was speaking to a new birth doula and yoga teacher. She’s been certified to teach yoga for nearly two years, and is just finishing her birth doula certification. She’s ready for her first clients, and has been for a few months now. Yet she was frozen, felt stuck. When I asked her what was holding her back, she admitted to me that she was fearful.

A few weeks ago the plight of women in business was made inordinately ‘sexy’, cult-like, and fascinating to the masses. Why might you ask? Due to Sheryl Sandburg’s new book called Lean In. Sandburg is the inimitable COO at facebook, the leadership mastermind behind Zuckerburg’s nerdy disconnectedness. Now don’t get me wrong, I am all […]

Yesterday the unthinkable happened, and nearly 200 souls were injured physically, 3 left our world, and many more thousands have been scarred emotionally. Boston was under fire. Explosions rang through. Chaos insured. For me it was surreal to imagine the scene in a town I used to call my 2nd home. A town where I […]
