Friends, as I look at my plate overflowing with opportunities this summer, I'm reminded that sometimes the best decision is to prioritize and postpone. So, I’ve decided to delay the “Walking Alongside Adult Children" series until the fall. Your excitement has been encouraging, and I'm eager to share more info soon.

Visiting the turtles with this little guy is just one of the things keeping me busy. Thanks everyone!❤️

As a Mother’s Day weekend gift to myself, I began the day with Yoga on the Dock. My intention was simply to be fully present in nature. Pelicans flew by, boats passed, and a light rain began making music on the roof just as we closed in shavasana. It was perfection.

Whether you’re a mom to humans or pets, a caregiver of others, or remembering a mother you love, I hope you’ll do something special for YOU this weekend, too. 🩵

As I was sitting in my chosen “outdoor office” on the Intracoastal Waterway today, I got a call from a primary care practice inquiring about my personal coaching for one of their patients. Apparently, her doctor believes in coaching and thinks it would be beneficial for a woman he sees going through a challenging transition. Talk about going the extra mile for patient care!

The “Live and Let Live” principle isn’t always easy to follow when it comes to being a parent of adult children. In my many years of coaching, and in my own life, I’ve found that “detaching with love” can be incredibly tough and equally effective. When we “stand on a ladder next to our child instead of on THEIR ladder UNDER them” we encourage and support their growth while no longer cushioning their fall. We also empower them to reach new heights on their own.

I’m not a perfect Mom or grandparent, but I have found ways to smile through the difficult times and to sometimes even been “happier than my unhappiest child”. Proudly, I’ve helped many worried, frustrated parents to do the same.

I’m happy to be launching a local and virtual workshop series called, “Walking Alongside Adult Children: Letting Go While Staying Close” starting May 7 at 2 pm at Coastal Blue in Southport and in mid May online. Details to follow soon!

Working with high potentials is one of my favorite things to do. Module 2 of my “Intentional Leadership” program is on the connection between our leadership philosophy and emotional intelligence. The veterinary medicine leaders I’m partnering with are making this journey so much fun! Thanks for a great morning!

"Your Brain on Your Side" was the topic selected by a panel for me to speak on at the SEBWA Women's Winter Expo on Oak Island this year. It's a free, fun, and educational event that draws over 100 women from our community. I'm honored to have been asked to present again, along with three interesting speakers, and am thrilled the topic is one of my favorites to share.

I hope to see some of my SPT/OKI/Wilmington friends on Saturday, February 28! The Southeast Brunswick Women's Association makes it a fabulous day for all!

There are many aspects to living intentionally. I've chosen ten from the research, and from my many years of experience in coaching, to complete this wheel. One of them is "Meaning Over Productivity" or "focus on being, not just doing". The other nine are just as important.

Join us online or in Southport or Oak Island for an upcoming workshop to complete this helpful "compass" as a guide for spending each day purposefully.
