Life and death in perspective. Someone told me not to share that we have Corona in my family, because it may lead to people not wanting to get close, we may have problems after, and other brutal things. But you know what... we have done nothing wrong. Someone in the family has this stupid virus. Very mild symptoms, if any at all. Could hardly believe the test result. The kids HAD to get tested as several students in the class were positive. For the past 10 days we've been in house quarantine, wi...

She's the kind of woman that everyone wants to be best friends with. She has thousands of fans, who all secretly wish they could be her friend. She's the "behind the scenes" power engine that makes everything work like a smooth selling machine working with her husband. She's a mother of four (one of which with disabilities). Imagine being told by the doctors when your child is born with "issues" that her condition "may not be compatible with life". This mother has soldiered on and been a great m...

Why are so many people so unhappy? Right now it's easy to "blame" this, that and the other. And maybe even rightly so... but still, do we HAVE to be miserable and unhappy? I say no.

The greatest lesson a con artist taught me is, surprisingly enough, about self-worth. Let's be clear, at the time I heard these words, nobody considered this person anything else than a super successful entrepreneur, who had lots of wisdom to share. And, here is one piece of gold that is worth sharing and spreading. How much are you really worth? Why do you so easily downgrade yourself? What effort do you make to stop under evaluating yourself? Imagine how your mood, health and results would imp...

Who said or did something that really hurt you? You know that comment or the words that still hurt... Perhaps there's a way to shift that pain and transform the "hurtful comment/words" into an empowering message. Even something that can help you become an EVEN better version of yourself! If The Dalai Lama could forgive the Chinese government for having chased him and forced him to live in exile from his people and country Tibet for over 40 years and learn to live life in a powerful way, then may...

Who is the person or the project you are most committed to? Who would you drop everything for if they asked or your help? Who would you adjust to and be flexible for? In my personal opinion, the one person you should be the absolute most committed to is: YOU! This morning as I was brushing my teeth I realized that I keep making the same mistake over and over, in so many different ways. I believe most of us do, because we want to be nice, we want to please or we actually care a great deal, so we ...

I believe that one of the best ways to ruin a relationship is to give a lot of space to your ego. Have you ever been in a "conversation" with a partner, friend, colleague, lover and you feel 100% triggered and get sucked into a "fight" because you KNOW you are right? And the most frustrating thing is that the other person, who you KNOW is wrong, also believes they are right. But they're not. Or, are they? Will we ever know...? But anyway, you are in that moment and you KNOW you are right, becaus...

Whether you manage your time or not, the same thing will happen: tic... toc... tic... toc. Yes, time passes, for every breath you take, for every step you take, for every blink you make, for every drop that falls from a fountain, more of your time is forever gone. Pretty impressive thought, the kind that makes you want to stand up and get things done NOW!

Clarity is key to any change or improvement, to understanding where you are and what you have to do to get to where you want to be. Without clarity, you will never ever know if you're taking the right action. Without clarity on what you want to do, be, have or achieve in your life, how on earth are you going to feel in control of your situation on a daily basis when you don't know what direction to go? Good question I believe. And I also think it's very sad that most people walk around with so m...

Watching our Tiny Dwarf Rabbit explore my office space today with a full floor carpet was exceptionally entertaining. He started out by just strolling around sniffing cables, biting binders, looking into the recycling paper bin and sitting still just watching the new space. Then all of a sudden he went crazy. Like totally cray-cray. He took off like a rocket. The usual surface he has under his little paws is either his cage or our tiled floors. The carpet in my office was PERFECT for him to expl...

Tough times now for a lot of people. Is it the pandemic? Is it actually tougher now...? Or are we all getting wound up in our own negative thoughts? It would be nice to just blame our sad mood on the government, the rain, the grey sky, or the train passing by the bedroom in the middle of the night. But, that won't change much, will it? Like many of you, I am currently going through a rough patch myself, kind of still in the middle of it. But, I wanted to take some time, a full episode even, to s...

The power of our thoughts is one of my favorite topics. Today I share something VERY interesting I read in one of my favorite books, Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. And yes, the book goes deep on the power of our thoughts and how we can use them to reconstruct and improve our self-image, and thus our results and our whole life. Sometimes we create more pain than we really need to endure by maintaining thoughts that hurt us. I've been doing it myself lately, and this episode is a gentle kick...

Making history today as I'm for the first time ever standing up in my recording studio to record today's episode. Exciting! The question I want to share today, and I hope you'll find it as intriguing as I do, is: do you have a dream, and "if God asked you to trade your dream for his (oh hers, if God is a lady), would you? Hum... makes you thin, doesn't it?! Do you have a dream? Is it big enough? Is it fulfilling and significant enough? Are you daily working on getting to live your dream? And if ...

This topic drives me nuts. Most of my clients express some, a lot or extreme levels of stress of not having any work/life balance in their life. Well, that's totally normal and logic, because you can't have balance between these two areas. In this episode, I dive into why this is my opinion, and how to look at this whole concept in a different way to create harmony, enjoyment and fulfillment in life. Let me know what you think of this topic! What is your trick to create a sense of harmony in you...

Did you ever ask yourself the question if you have, or experience, more success or failure in your life? I think most of us don't really reflect on that, but as a general rule we tend to focus on all the things we don't have, all the things we can't do, and all the reasons why we can't do or have that. Perhaps, if you really look at your life, there are things you need to celebrate? Or perhaps you have way more success than you think... If you want to dive deeper on this, check out Chapter 9 in ...

The three pillars I have used myself, and still use on a daily basis, to go from feeling broken, sad, and hopeless (even depressed), to living a life by design and enjoying my life full-heartedly, I am sharing them with you today. They have the potential to make you unstoppable :) I shared them earlier today on a virtual web summit in the Mums/Moms in Busin...

Today I received two outstanding business emails from complete strangers. One in the category PHENOMENAL and one in the category IRRITATING. Surprisingly, the phenomenal one did not mention or try to invite me to buy ANYTHING, it was just an awesome display of how to build a relationship. The irritating one triggered all my buttons in how I do NOT want to build a relationship and who I will never become a client of. So much to learn from these two emails. Massive shoutout and bowing to Dillon Bu...

An interview or a presentation, the tricks are equally powerful. I hope you find them useful!

We all seek happiness. Most people want to be happier than they are. Some are desperate to feel at least "some" happiness rather than the overwhelming emotional pain they find themselves in. I am hoping you already apply some or maybe even all three steps. And perhaps get reminded to increase your intensity and commitment to nurturing your own happiness. If they are all new to you, or you just never thought of being intentional in CREATING YOUR HAPPINESS, fantastic! If you have your personal "qu...

Les Brown talked about the power of laughing, and the damage of being angry. With 1 minute of anger weakening your immune system for 4-5 hours, we may want to reconsider the time we spend being angry, right! And with 1 minute of laughter, we strengthen our immune system for up to 24 hours. That definitely makes it worth the effort to try and laugh for a while every day. Here is an attempt at making you laugh. If you have great jokes, I would LOVE to hear them!!!

If you can't stand hearing another person cry, don't listen to this episode! Impossible to deliver this in any other way than crying. I just understood today why I feel so much pain. He's breaking up with me. Sloooowly, but surely. And I don't want him to leave me. Ever. But he will. He's already on his way, a little more day by day. This episode is inspired from hearing the radio show WSFM with Jonesy and Amanda . Thank you!...
