Throughout my years of coaching, I have found that if I can share my vulnerabilities, they aren’t so scary and lose their power. In turn, my writing has been incredibly therapeutic. I find that I heal, reflect, and grow through writing and at the same time, my readers feel heard. I hope that my words bring you some “me too’s,” inspiration, and new outlooks.  Here you will find my old writing (directing you to the first blog I ever created, www.lawfullylean.com/blog) and my new writing that pertains more specifically to my work as a life coach.

Go Beyond Your “Yes” People: your life depends on it

Let me start with what I mean about "yes" people. If you were following me back in the day, you may have already read the blog post about "yes" friends. (Give it a read here - I reread it this morning and all of it still rings 100% true to me - in fact - I just...

The Truth About Habit Formation

The Truth About Habit Formation

It is a long and winding road as a recovering workaholic. The path isn't always linear. Good habits don't always stick 24-7. When stress starts seeping in as you prep for trial, a case becomes difficult, or your meetings with others end with more discord than...

Divorcing?  Make sure your “tribe” is right.

Divorcing? Make sure your “tribe” is right.

In my work as a divorce attorney (and now as a coach), I see how much a woman's "tribe" can make or break her. Would she be the woman who was surrounded by well-intentioned friends, telling her to "take him for everything he is worth?" "That he is no good." "That he...

Cheer Cherish Respect – Why Can’t Women have all 3?

Cheer Cherish Respect – Why Can’t Women have all 3?

For the past few days, I have been trying to figure out why the workshop I attended last week didn’t quite hit me right.  I felt agitated, perhaps a little angry, perplexed, and like something was just “off.”   Building Legos with my son a few mornings ago, it all...

Is it Time to Go Solo?

Is it Time to Go Solo?

Many of my life coaching clients first come to me because they are curious about my journey of “going solo.” They wonder if they have what it takes to make the same leap and hang their own shingle. Many women feel burnt out, voiceless in their firm, undervalued,...

Protect that Head Space – Reminder

Protect that Head Space – Reminder

I woke up today and committed an old occupational hazard I thought I quit. I checked my work e-mail and started getting all sorts of riled up. Before my feet even hit the floor. I started trying to figure out the right way to respond, and instead of getting dressed in...
