Tired of Doing the Same Thing Over & Over, Hoping for Different Results?
You didn’t wake up this morning and think, “Today is the day I need to hire a life coach (or relationship coach or spiritual coach or hope coach).” But I would put money down that you woke up this morning, you sweet woman, and within about thirty seconds, your top...
A Peptalk for When You’re Discouraged
Today I’m going to be giving a peptalk to every one of you whose life isn’t going the way you want it to. First of all, I’m so sorry. Whatever is not working in your life right now, I’m just so sorry about it and if I could fix it for you, whoever you are and whatever...
Is It Time to Get Help?
When I was in seventh grade, I was imagining things. I was imagining that my mom was unsafe when I was at school, so I would pretend to be sick to stay home and take care of her. And when I was home alone, I would imagine that someone else was in our apartment with...
What If My Husband Never Changes?
Question: What if our marriage never changes, what if the bad things he’s doing aren’t just a phase, like people keep telling me? There was a period of a few months when I lived in the most emotionally uncomfortable place I’d ever been. I had woken up fully to my...
Screw Up
For most of my life, I’ve felt just a tad less normal than most people. Less put together. Way needier. A huge disappointment. Less capable of taking care of myself. Not a grown-up. Weak. Lazy. Pretty much a screw-up. As if every day, at the end of my day, I could do...
Looking Back
This is the perfect time to press pause and reflect on how this year has been on your heart, mind and body, sweet girl. I recommend trying to set aside about thirty to sixty minutes, if you’re able. Light a candle. Pour a cup of coffee or tea or hot chocolate. Get out...
Arrival

Christmas Fears
I’ve been reading the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke this month as I prepare my heart for Christmas. And I found something that surprised me. In the one hundred and thirty-two verses of those two chapters, an angel tells three different people to not be...
Waiting
I’ve caught myself saying things like this over the past month: I desperately need Christmas this year, and I’m holding out for the miracle, and I need the arrival. But what does that even mean? How can I be waiting on something - or Someone – who already came? How...
