Just when I’m feeling confident and reconnected to who I am and what I bring to a relationship, I then start to get some anxiety. I don’t understand because I’ve released the need to be too attached to the outcome and getting too far ahead of myself. Somehow, that doesn’t matter, because the stakes are higher this time. I’m starting to feel emotionally invested in this relationship and everything changes.

I’m worried about messing it up and making the same mistakes I’ve made in my past relationships. I’m worried about if I match the criteria on his checklist for a life partner.

Oh, my goodness, I’ve got to calm down and get a grip on this anxiety before it gets the best of me and ruins this relationship. Breathe, run, [Continue Reading...]

If you’re anything like me and have moments of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, obsessed over the right approach and the end result, well I’ve got a secret for you to rock your world and give you back your liberation! However, before I get into this secret, let me share a work moment that recently happened.

Just a few weeks ago, I had an employee come down seriously annoyed about a coworker interaction she just had, and as a result, she was refusing to collaborate with this coworker any longer. It was definitely a case of a personality conflict/miscommunication. As in any HR employee relations matter, I allowed the employee to tell me what brought her down, asked her the appropriate questions and listened to what she had to say. We had [Continue Reading...]

When life isn’t quite happening the way you expect or want it (e.g., a relationship, a job opportunity or making a sports team), it can be frustrating, particularly if it seems that everyone else around you is living the life you want. Let me share, I have been there myself many times. Of course, this has lead to me search for answers to make sense of the situation by asking why and what can I do differently next time?

Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone and I’m here for you. So let me share some insights, strategies, resources, and encouragement that have helped me gain clarity and move past my self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back.

A few weeks ago, I was a Guest Speaker at Half Hollow Hills High School West (3 classes back to back!) and I discussed with the students the topic, Learning to Embrace Change in Your Life and Career. Without a doubt, Embracing Change is so essential to master, especially if you want to achieve some big goals and conquer your self-limiting beliefs, fears and doubts!

It’s when I’ve stepped forward, believed in myself, stayed committed to the outcome and true to myself, that’s when some powerful moments happened in my life and career!

In this video clip from that day, I shared with the High School Students, How I became a Half Marathon Runner & then got featured in FITNESS Magazine for the July/August 2012 issue.
