I remember getting off the phone from a client. She’d had ME in the past. You know – that thing that most doctors don’t understand. That thing where they tell you “Just slow down”. But she’s a small business owner. And she wants to be a successful one at that. She told me “I’m exhausted […]

I’m standing in the doorway of my youngest son’s bedroom. We are arguing about bedtime. Again. He is standing halfway up his small ladder, his boyish face full of undisguised anger and hatred towards me. In that moment, the feeling is mutual. I have a battle going on in my head and my body is […]

You know when, mid-shower, you realize you left shampoo off the shopping list again – so you try to convince yourself a mouse-sized amount of over-diluted product is going to get you through another wash? So many women find ourselves doing exactly that with our time and energy. We water ourselves down until there’s barely […]
