If I asked you what you want most out of life, what would you say? Most people say they want to be happy and/or successful. How do you measure happiness? Most people don’t spend the entire day crying, so aren’t they happy? Perhaps happiness comes from being successful. How do you measure success? Is it the house you live in, car you drive, your kids’ happiness? From my house, I can see houses that are twice as big and cost twice as much as my own. Likewise, I can see houses half the size and worth half as much. One …

Last night in my group, we discussed the difference between obstacles and excuses as they pertain to your goal.  Try this exercise to figure it out. Start with a blank skeet of paper. Write down all the things that are standing in your way from reaching your goals. If they sound silly, it’s okay, just write them down. Now take 2 different color crayons, markers or pens.  Go through and circle everything you think is an obstacle in one color and everything you think is an excuse in the other. Look back at your obstacle list.  Think really hard about …

I am looking for speaking opportunities, and I am focusing on mom groups because, let’s face it, I know a lot about moms.   I was in the middle of cleaning my house yesterday, when I get a message from a friend asking if I could talk the next morning.  Seems that the speaker they had scheduled was ill. Sure! I would gladly come in! Okay, great, what will you talk about?  Well, of course I had ideas in my head, I seem to have a bunch of those.  However, I hadn’t actually designed anything yet.  What could I talk …

Happy new year! Now is the time when most people set goals for themselves.  Whether it is weight loss, making more time for themselves, working on their business, or saving money, goals for change are being made. Change is hard. I have already discussed how to make real changes, but even with a solid plan, you can find yourself feeling frustrated.  Perhaps things aren’t progressing as quickly as you had hoped, perhaps things are twice as hard as you thought they would be, maybe life got in the way.  Whatever it is, most of us will feel like giving up …

I am really excited about my new group starting on January 10.  It is going to be group hypnosis to reach your new  year goals! Okay, what do I mean by that?  First, I am going to help you set our goals. I have said this before and I will say it again, set goals, do NOT make resolutions.  New year’s resolutions don’t work.  By setting goals, you are able to have a plan and reach your goals! Once your goals are clearly set, I will help you create a plan on how to get there. After that comes hypnosis. …

I recently made a comment about wanting to get more training.  My point was, there are so many courses in hypnosis (and other things) that really excite me.  I will never stop being a student as there is so much to study! I think the same could be said for just about every field.  There is always stuff to learn. Anyway, I was asked why I was not working in the psychology or social work field as I hold degrees in both.   Well, first off, I do believe that hypnosis is in the same field.  Hypnosis is really part …

I believe that business and politics should be kept separate.  I also promise to help you, no matter what your view points are.  I do not want anyone to read this as a right or wrong post. This is a post about YOU. The election took a toll on all of us. No matter which candidate you wanted, the election was draining.  The results were shocking and it is normal for both sides to feel a surge of emotions.  Friendships have been hurt and ruined, family members estranged, we are all hurting in one way or another. Please remember, no …

Affirmations are amazing tools. I would bet you have heard of them of them before but do you really know what they are?  To really understand affirmations, we have to take a step back and talk about programming. Your mind is amazing. With it, you can do countless things at the same time without even realizing it!  Some things, like breathing, happen naturally from the moment your lungs develop.  Other things, a LOT of other things, are learned.  Sometimes we forget that we had to learn certain skills. We have been walking most of our lives but it is a …

There is one week left until the school year starts.  PTA, Girl Scouts, homework help, more activities, more laundry (we pretty much live in out bathing suits in the summer), sounds busy right? Well yes but during the school year I also have time that I don’t seem to have now. I have a confession to make… this summer I really neglected ME.  Between doing fun things with my kids and breaking up disagreements, I  failed myself.  I haven’t even taken a walk since June! (Which is honestly because I hate exercising when it’s super hot). So, what have I …

*Updated 12/13/2021* Ahh, sugar. It makes life so much sweeter, doesn’t it? Maybe except sugar is killing all of us.  Sugar is responsible for a multitude of health issues including cancer, and of course, obesity. Sugar has been on my mind a lot this week and then I watched the documentary “Fed Up”.  It’s on Netflix so watch it when you get the chance.  Watching it made me realize that it is time to do something about my own sugar addiction…and others. Now, you might be in denial about having a sugar addiction. Sure, you might think you just have …
