So, how did yesterday go? Did you come up with 3?
Follow WomenOnTheFence.com all week for my daily life coaching challenge/homework to begin getting off the fence. If you’re late to the game, just start from day 1 and proceed daily.
Let’s recap day 1.
Day 1 – Write down 3 areas you’re stuck
(Example: you’re currently in a job you dislike, you want to lose weight, get your finances in order, you want to fix your marriage, be a better parent, find more me-time, stop smoking, etc)…
This has been a long time coming.
It’s no secret that I give keynotes and talks on work-life balance at conferences and companies. It’s also no secret that I’ve been a yoga student over fifteen years and now a certified teacher. So marrying both my passions for offices both in Montreal and other cities is everything I know and love. I cannot wait to work with employees to achieve wellness through optimally balancing career and personal life.
I thought, “What a great way to spend lunch: a 30 minute power talk and a 30 minute stress-busting yoga class.” So I created it.
I am excited to reveal today… the new, improved and rebranded WomenOnTheFence.com, Real Inspiration for the Modern Woman.
You see, we weren’t planning or rebranding or facelifting any time soon. But our site went down two weeks ago, and when the backup reinstalled was totally corrupt, we had no choice but to start from scratch.
I panicked.
It was touch and go for five long days. Did we actually lose eight years of blog posts, comments, pages, blood, sweat and tears?
Sit back, relax and grab a cup green tea… it’s Transformation Tuesday!
I am still feeling very fortunate that both my worlds of life coaching and yoga collided this past Friday on The Today Show with Megan Kelly. My mandate? To teach Megan, her audience, and America, yoga poses specifically for stress management and a more zen you. Taught from the place of a modern yoga teacher AND life coach showing you different poses you can flow through and breathe through to a calmer you… I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Megan and her team were delightful, and our audience was totally game when I challenged them to TREE POSE!
Hi. My name is Erica.
I’m a mom, businesswoman, life coach, TV correspondent, and believer in all women.
I don’t give up easily. I will fight for what I believe in. And I will fight for YOU too.
I’m strong but extremely sensitive. My feelings are easily hurt if it’s by someone I love. Otherwise, my skin is pretty thick.
I cry when I’m sad. I cry even more when I’m happy.
My biggest joys in life besides time with my family and friends, are live music concerts, comfort food, a good sweat, and a glass of Cabernet.
We all have a special weekend ahead. I am celebrating my beloved country Canada’s 150th birthday, and you, my American friends, are celebrating your independence. We take a day off, we rest, we regroup, we reflect, we spend time with family and friends, and hey, it’s SUMMER!
I sent my boys off on the bus this week to summer camp. And judging by this picture, I think someone is happy. And lucky.
Summer is the perfect time to take a break, lay out in the sunshine and get into a great book.

On this week’s Global TV segment, I shared eight great summer reads. In the fall, I had included something for every woman: fiction, non-fiction, laugh-out-loud funny, witty, heartwarming, and a heart-pounding thriller. For the summer though, I like to keep it a little lighter. We don’t have to be serious ALL THE TIME. 😉 Sometimes it’s okay for Calgon to take us away.

What do you say when someone asks you about the topic you most dread? When you work from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, plus several hours on the weekends, all while being on call 24/7—how do you respond to this question: “What about your work/life balance?”
Usually, first I gulped. And then I replied with some inane ramblings.
hank you to my PR friend G.G. Benitez for sharing this gem last night. A perfect #MotivationMonday.
I believe that when you do your best, and give it your best, day in and day out, over time, good things show up at your door.
And therefore, that means that I won’t always plan.
No plan?
Yah, sometimes, (and more often lately), no plan.
And that has a kind of calming, soothing feeling.
It’s like the art of hustling and surrendering. Working and then waiting.
What if I all I want is a small, slow, simple life? What if I am most happy in the space of in between? Where calm lives. What if I am mediocre and choose to be at peace with that?
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
