Let’s talk about the P word.
Procrastination.
Well, hello and welcome to my favorite time management strategy: Eat the Frog! What do…
Are you ready to start your own business? Do you have your brilliant idea, the passion, smarts and confidence to make it happen, and a fabulous support team around you? Are you are totally ready to go for it? Just remember, you may not want to quit your day job just yet…
I opened the Erica Diamond store for Empowered Living a few weeks ago: ‘Until further…
Today’s post is for those who are able to use a little bit of time to strategize for the future. If you are functioning daily on survival mode (as most of the population is), you can absolutely sit this one out. No pressure. ?

I am thankful that my coaching practice is busy these COVID-19 days with people who need wellness strategies and who want to plan for the future after the fog is lifted. ?

These are the first two questions I ask every new client. It gives me an idea of where you want to be, and what is standing in the way of you getting there. ?

On my 8-day spring break holiday, I have spent so much of it listening to podcasts. It’s funny, when I feel inspired, I listen to podcasts. When I feel uninspired, I listen to MORE podcasts. My favorite is listening to business shows. That might sound weird to you, but I have after all, started 3 businesses and sold one.
This morning on my meditative walk by the ocean, I wanted to share with you a few insights as to my learnings this week in podcast life:
Some bosses are tough, aggressive, direct, and curt. That might be considered acceptable behavior, even if it doesn’t suit you. But harassment and abuse are not acceptable. It can be hard to tell the difference, particularly when you’ve been heating up degree by degree. That’s what I found from my research on Millennials at work.
Over the course of two years, I interviewed over 200 high performing, high potential women and men to explore how young leaders develop. Through story analysis, we found twelve important challenges that almost everyone faces during their first ten years of work. Sadly, working with an office villain is among them.
Sometimes, you just know when it’s time for a change. When it’s time to take a new path, shake up your look, or look at life from a new perspective.
Or, in my case, reinvent your brand for a new decade. (Keep reading for the big reveal!)
For me, that moment came in the Winter of 2019 at the Blissdom conference for women’s lifestyle content creators. I used to attend these conferences regularly, back when they were conferences primarily for mom bloggers and the brands that wanted to work with them. It was the perfect event for me to attend as the creator of the Women on the Fence brand. But over the last few years, I had skipped the annual event.
I have a question for you: What are you doing with your manuscript?
You finally finished writing your book. Congratulations! Possibly, you spent years writing and rewriting it. I’m sure it represents a ton of work and an unbelievable amount of time, so you have accomplished something to really be proud of.
Now you have to address the publication issue. One possibility is self-publishing. Writing a book and publishing a book require very different skills, so you’ll have to do some internet research. Once you start, you’ll be shocked at how much information is available on the web. What you probably won’t realize at first is that the web searches can lead to unintended problems.
There are two areas of concern here. First, some of the self-publishing information is inaccurate or flat out misleading. Second, the web is filled with scam artists looking to prey on first-time self-publishing authors.
Twenty years ago today, August 23, 1999, I became an entrepreneur. I registered my company for $37.00, called everyone I knew, knocked on strangers’ doors, and never looked back.
In honor of twenty years today, and it being #FlashbackFriday, here are some funny videos (when I had some INTERESTING HAIR, to say the least.)
Also a full circle moment that Global News / Global Montreal gave me my first media break.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
