  • Say Hello To A Goodbye.

    Wow! What’s Going On With the Universe?Planets aligning, retrogrades, major life upheavals—there’s a lot happening out there. Many people I’ve spoken with are experiencing something curious: individuals from their past are reappearing. Ex-lovers, old classmates, former co-workers, and long-lost friends are suddenly resurfacing. Some of these encounters are heartwarming, others more complicated—but all seem to…

  • Special Delivery.

    Special Delivery (And No, Not from Santa or the Stork) I’m talking about how we deliver information—how our voice, tone, and content land on the people we speak to. Communication is essential in everything we do. Whether it’s spoken, written, gestured, or just a look—how we communicate reflects how we move through life. Take this…

  • I wonder…Am I Enough ?

    Am I Enough? It’s a question I hear often from my clients—sometimes directly, other times subtly woven into the way they speak about themselves: “Am I enough?” This question is deeply human. Many of us wrestle with our worthiness—in our relationships, as family members, in the workplace, and, most profoundly, within ourselves. What does it…

  • Finding Your Light.

    Does it sometimes feel like you’re struggling to see the light—any kind of light?Many people I talk to describe a lingering sense of overall sadness. It often shows up as pessimism, hopelessness, or despair about the state of the world. This feeling is frequently fueled by constant exposure to negative news, social media overload, and…

    Money. Got Some ?

    Facing Fifty and Beyond: The Real Fear Women Have I read an interesting study a while back that polled women over fifty about their biggest fears—and the results were surprising. It wasn’t about aging or getting older. It wasn’t about finding the perfect partner at this stage of life. And it wasn’t about weight, sagging…

  • Love is all around.

    Love is all around.

    I remember many years ago at a family dinner, where everyone at the table was coupled—except for the little kids and me. As we ate and socialized, my adorable five-year-old niece asked, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Hey Aunt Michele, who do you belong to?” I looked at her, puzzled, and she insisted, “Who…

  • Just Say No.

    Just Say No.

    The Power of Saying “No” This isn’t about the slogan Nancy Reagan coined in the ’80s; it’s not about drugs or alcohol. It’s about your well-being. Everyone can benefit from understanding why saying “No” is important in our lives. We are often inclined to say “Yes” by instinct, sometimes at the expense of our own…

  • Next Stop. Be Happy.

    Next Stop. Be Happy.

    What Makes You Happy? The question “What makes you happy?” is often loaded and arbitrary. Happiness means different things to different people. Yet, many will answer with a list of conditions they believe must be met: “I could be happy if I lost 20 pounds,” “I could be happy if I had that expensive house,”…
