In our hurly-burly, busy lives, we are often overwhelmed with too many choices. Just making a decision can be complicated.

I love my clients. They teach me so much!! Coaching is the one place that I always get out of the way. I can actually hear what I am saying and the wisdom is for me as well as my clients. This morning my client started by sharing her disappointment in lacking discipline around her addiction. […]
