The US is shit. The air quality, equality, child safety, and buying power have been degraded, eroded, polluted, and destroyed at will (not necessarily in that order). Yet, you are expected to carry on, footloose and fancy-free doing your part to spark the economy, suppress your simmering rage, and grin…

An empowered woman listens to, speaks on, and acts from her inner knowing. She trusts her intuition and isn’t afraid to own it. She doesn’t say, “I don’t know,” because she does. I started this post and then my parent’s dog died, and I just lost my mojo. Their little…

Many emails and a feed full of posts from moms concerned about staying on top of their business while their kids are home on summer break tell me this is a universal struggle. How can I maintain my level of productivity? is the WRONG QUESTION. The RIGHT QUESTION is, How…
