I’ve been thinking a lot about intuition lately. Especially since I’ve started down the Intuitive Eating path to wellness. Paying more attention to what my body tells me it wants to eat, and when, has been more challenging than I thought. It really does take some practice. It’s hard to trust, even myself.

When I was in Chicago over the holidays, my mother told me that the Women’s March for Chicago will be called off this year. The official reason organizer’s have given is that they’ve already spent their energy and resources on a mid-term March to the Polls voting push, however, there’s a lot of speculation and controversy as to other reasons for the cancellation.

I was honored to be the final speaker of the Women's March on the Air Capital Rally on January 20, 2018. Here's what I said: Photo used by permission of Jon Pic of bad_jon.

I started the Finishing School in 2015 to help women own their power. As a business consultant, I’ve helped women open and grow t

Usually I’m the one who people turn to for help and I’m always glad, if I can, to give it. So, I’m not used to asking others to help me

Music inspires me. No matter what mood I’m in, there’s a song that fits how I feel – or want to feel.

We have such a tendency to be hard on ourselves, but don’t beat yourself up about that. A big part of why this happens, is because of the wa

An event crossed my feed on Facebook this week that got my attention. Smaltz Brewing Company has brewed a special beer, She’Brew, to celebra
