    The Power of Saying No: Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Peace

    May 26, 2026 - By 

    Saying no and setting boundaries isn’t selfish…it’s one of the most caring things you can do for yourself and the people around you. Let’s be honest, most of us have a hard time saying no. Maybe you said yes to covering a coworker’s shift when you were already running on empty. Maybe you agreed to host a family dinner when you desperately needed a quiet weekend. Maybe you joined yet another committee at school because no one else volunteered, and you just couldn’t say no. It feels easier in the moment to say yes. But all those little yeses add…

    Sharing space in your home with one or more people can have challenging moments for anyone. But having a roommate, partner, children, or spouse under the same roof can put an even greater strain on someone who is energy sensitive.

    9 Reasons Why All Women Need a Tribe

    May 26, 2019 - By 

    You’ve most likely heard the quote “It takes a village to raise a child”. But I think there is a quote that is equally true….” It takes a village to nurture a woman”.  Women have a long history of gathering to support one another and work together. In ancient tribes as well as some tribes in far-off countries now, while the men are away hunting for food, women gather, cook, clean, and raise their children collectively. But in today’s society, we’ve lost that sense of female community. And it’s taking a toll on women, both individually and collectively. That’s why…

    When Rejection is an Act of Love

    April 4, 2016 - By 

    This post came as a result of my divorce a few years ago, and how my own mindset shifted in response. People expect others to react in certain ways after experiencing something like a breakup. But in reality, we need to respond according to how we really feel. Rejection doesn’t have to be the end of the world….and in fact, can actually be life-changing in positive ways. It’s all about changing perspective and mindset! Let’s face it….rejection sucks! And yet, at some point in our lives, we’ve all faced it in some form or another. And although it feels pretty…

    Are You a Victim of Screen Sucking?

    March 4, 2014 - By 

    Have you ever experienced this? You sit down at the computer to quickly check your e-mail or Facebook and the next thing you know hours have passed. And you simply have no idea where that time went. If you’ve ever experienced this, then you are a victim of screen-sucking. The term “screen sucking” was coined by Dr. Edward Hallowell, author of the book “CrazyBusy: Overworked, Overbooked and About to Snap!”.  Hallowell defines it as “Wasting time engaging with any screen – for instance, computer, video game, television, and BlackBerry”. And anyone with a computer, television, tablet, video game, or smartphone…
