Bus Ride to the Heart of the Matter

The frustration snowballed into a mass of fury. She asked herself- no shouted out loud to the empty house- Why do I need to attract these guys who aren’t available?! It was then that she left a desperate message on her therapists’ voicemail. It was a Saturday morning, she realized but this elation combined with utter frustration was impossible to deal with on her own. And she knew this emotion would or could take her to where she needed to go. Christa was her bus driver.And sure enough, three-…See More

Life Coaching

I am a life coach that specializes in transitions. These are people who are new to sobriety, for example- divorce, empty nests... transition is any process in life where you are going from one stage to another. I have done this myself with my own divorce four years ago- with three young boys under 8 years old. My psychological work experience makes me more than qualified to help you out with what I know to be true - and practice living myself everyday. Cheers!

Yes, the time is now. Many people are experiencing great hardship (emotionally and financially). It seems like a crazy world right now with all of the natural disasters and extreme weather. With these kinds of conditions, living a happy life can seem almost impossible.

But what if..…

I’m a teacher and the school year does not always allow for a lot of free/writing time. That books sounds amazing. It sounds like you have a lot of interesting and relevant experiences to share and tie everything together. As far as writing, I’m starting a new fiction project (or working on planning it in order to start it!) I’ve mostly written for myself and a very select few others but now I’m writing with the mindset of working towards a larger audience. Hope you had a great weekend!

Good luck on your self help venture! Glad to hear you're enjoying it. What kind of self help book is it? (I'm Steph, by the way!)
