Do you know that this is a real type of worry and that there is an actual name for it? Most importantly, do you know you’re not alone in feeling this way? Back to that in a moment. I’m going to share something with you that is very personal. Why? Because I believe that which is personal…

When I feel frustrated with life, I want to be able to call my best girlfriends and meet them for something to eat or drink – whenever I need, and whenever I feel like it. (Think Friends or Sex and the City!) I want to go and have a few laughs, witty conversation, and have all my…

When was the last time you asked yourself, “What lights me up?” For me, there was no question as to the answer. Even as a kid I lit up like a spotlight from the inside out whenever I could be on stage. Now I also love writing and doing my podcast…
