Yesterday morning’s Global TV segment was on my Top 6 Must-Reads for Kids. Seeing that tv segments are merely snippets of information, I wanted to share my full list for all moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncle, and friends.
We are all trying to raise a reader.
Here goes:

I really don’t.
When I’m 62 I want to be able to eat and do whatever the hell I want. And if that means I’m “pleasingly plump,” then good for me! When I’m 62, I don’t want to be doing stomach crunches, applying fake tanner and scrutinizing my ass and thighs before I go to the beach. I’m tired of doing these things now, so no way am I doing them when I’ve reached the respectable age of 60-somethings.
What is with this constant push for women to look young and thin?
Happy Motivation Monday, ladies!
Episode 2 of my #OWNSHOW on OWN TV guest appearance aired live at 7am this morning. This week’s episode was more about sharing experiences from my coaching practice as well as my own life experiences, and the one strategy people can practice if they feel they have too much on their plate. This week is about how to make those crucial decisions…
I’ll give you a hint, but please watch below:
A great rule I like to follow as well as have my clients follow is The 85% Rule. Most of us are stressed and unhappy simply because we are overwhelmed: we take on too much. I practice the 85% rule – I make sure 85% of my commitments are NECESSARY COMMITMENTS. That means, I have started eliminating unnecessary commitments from my schedule. It’s practicing the art of saying “no” to the things that don’t BOOST YOUR HAPPINESS.
When it comes to celebrities, we love to observe what they’re doing. From stalking their grocery shopping pics to obsessing over what they wearing and who they’re dating, we feed into it all. Who better than our favorite stars to motivate us with career advice? After all, they did make it to the tippy top, and I think it’s smart to learn from people who have mastered their craft.
So sit back, and let the inspiration pour over you!
I saw these on Instagram this week, and at first, they made me chuckle because they are in fact funny.
But then at second glance, they made me think of something more profound. Something deeper. Something more serious, and more real going on.
I also saw an ad that popped up for me yesterday on Facebook. An ad for a filter app called FACIE. How perfect for our narcissistic selfie obsessed society?
Today marks an exciting milestone in my career – I join The OWN Network family (it’s no secret that Miss Oprah is my hero and inspiration… and also has my dream job, by the way!). 😉 I am so honored to share my first of 5 episodes of The #OWNShow on Oprah.com which will roll out for the next 5 Mondays in honor of #MotivationMonday.
The #OWNSHOW appeals to us girls – a smart, savvy, modern, enlightened audience who is interested in talking and learning about all the issues of today in the health, wellness, self improvement and inspiration space. This lifestyle show feels younger, hipper and quicker to share tips and tools to help us thrive.
Today, I join the #OWNSHOW as a guest, following other trailblazing #OWNSHOW guests, including Tony Robbins, Russell Simmons (Def Jam, Phat Farm), Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) and Hoda Kotb (TODAY Show).

I wanted to draw your attention to something that Aeroplan announced today. For those that might not remember, I have proudly been Aeroplan’s Brand Ambassador for two years now. And why would I not be proud? I’ve been a loyal member of this program for TWENTY YEARS!
A reminder if you don’t know how it works, it’s simple: sign up for an Aeroplan number, accumulate miles, and redeem them for practically anything you’d want! Beside redeeming miles for Flights around the world, Car rentals and Hotel stays, Aeroplan also has 12 categories where you can also redeem: Activities & Entertainment, Fashion & Accessories, Eco-Friendly, Electronics, Gift Cards & Ideas, Health & Wellness, Home & Garden, Luggage & Totes, Media & More, Sports & Outdoors, Travel & Getaways and Money Can’t Buy.
Today, Aeroplan announced their new American Express card called the American Express AeroplanPlus Reserve Credit Card.
I can’t believe how the time has flown by. Two years ago today, on a Wednesday morning at 8:45am, I started a new job as the Weekly Parenting and Lifestyle Correspondent on Global TV’s The Morning News.
I was nervous, somewhat green, and didn’t know how our chemistry would actually carry over after my screen test.
“Christmas is over, you’ve put on weight, it’s cold out, it’s dark out, your credit card bills are in, you’re not going to get another day off until March, and you’re tired.
You might even be depressed.
If so, you are not alone, especially not today. For today, according to one measure, is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.” (Montreal Gazette)
Sounds pretty gloomy. But for many, it truly is. For some, this January funk is a result of cold weather, overspending during the holidays, the economy, a relationship gone sour, or job dissatisfaction. For others, it’s something more serious.
Alright, I’ve gotta confess. Blue Monday was last Monday, and I missed it. I was Googling Blue Monday 2014 a few weeks ago, instead of 2015 and I scheduled this post incorrectly for today. All that to say, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to share some tips on this subject. Cuz it’s important.
Today, no matter where you’re at, I wanted to give you 10 power tips to beat the winter blues. Ten power tips to get you out of the January funk. Ten suggestions you can do NOW, to give yourself some relief.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
