The casual ultra-violence of the English language

Maybe your problem is that you’re not self-centered enough

What we misunderstand about narcissists, mass shooters, and ourselves — There is a lot of misunderstanding around the term “self-centered.” Many bemoan that people are too self-centered these days. While I’d absolutely agree that communities are breaking down — to everyone’s detriment — self-centering is not the culprit. Many of us have internally demonized this word and idea without really…

Just deciding to hire your first life coach is half the battle

I’ve often heard life coaches say their client’s transformation begins as soon as the client invests, even before the first call. While I can confirm this has been true for me as a client, I struggled to explain why. I finally have the words. When you first feel pulled to…

#2 is responsible for all my business milestones — The prerequisite for getting what you want, for making the dream in your head inevitable, is to choose it.

How are we supposed to know what mental illness looks like?

Where can we find mental wellness to use for comparison? — Physical health problems are relatively easy to spot. We recognize symptoms of physical illness because we have seen healthy-looking bodies.

This might be why you’re struggling with boundaries

Boundaries and self-care didn’t work for me until I realized this — I’m sure you’ve heard that boundaries and self-care can systematically upgrade every part of your life until it sparkles.
