There’s been a shark in my swimming pool for a long time and I did not even know it. But instead of eating me, this shark has been eating my joy, vitality, excitement, enthusiasm, and belief in myself. (Now you might not have this same shark in your pool but I guarantee that you […]

Couples Money or a Colonoscopy I got together with my friends, Chris and Marlow Felton, today. They wrote an amazing book, Couples Money. We got to talking about how important it is for couples to be on the same page about money (80% plus of all divorces have a money component to them). But this […]

Willing and Aware Much of personal growth boils down to willingness and awareness. If we aren’t willing to face our fears, get out of our comfort zone, or challenge what we think is the truth ~ then our results will stay the same. If we aren’t willing to put in the time and the effort […]
