Want some help with understanding self-sabotaging patterns? You don’t need to be a Freudian Analyst to figure out why people choose options they know aren’t good for them. It was fun to visit Freud’s home and psychotherapy clinic in Vienna, but didn’t get those answers there. Check out my latest blog post to learn more and to access a free handout!

Life is full of thoughtful and kind people. Whether it is a “thinking of you” text, DM, email or call to a beautiful bouquet of flowers on a chilly January afternoon, I’m always reminded of how much kindness there is in the world. Mindset and perspective shape our view. Let 2026 be a year where you bring your awareness to the positives in yourself and others. ❤️
Visited the original Tim Hortons Coffee Shop in Hamilton yesterday. Reminded me of new beginnings and how they all start with a seed of an idea. You never know where it will lead or what it will become until you take a leap of faith in yourself. Instead of making a resolution, make one goal - just one - and bring your energy and attention to making it happen in 2026. For more on focused goal-setting and motivation, please visit my website’s blog posts. I’ve got lots of free content and resources there and much more to come each month.

Happy Mother’s Day! “Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary - it’s an act of infinite optimism.” - Gilda Radner

Magic has arrived with visits and time spent with treasured friends. I love the gift of Christmas tree ornaments. My friend and former psychology professor, Anneke, is also a brilliant artist and made this circle mandala ornament for me. The second or ornament is from a beloved friend, Marilee, who I deeply admire and have known for over 30 years. This is Christmas.
Loved having my Holiday photo shoot with Olive Joy! My dog is an important family member and integral to my self care. Studies show that dogs reduce stress, anxiety and depression. They ease loneliness, encourage exercise and improve your overall health. For example, people with dogs tend to have lower blood pressure and are less likely to develop heart disease.
