6 StepsTo Authentic Self Confidence For Women

By Dana Theus

Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be. Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman...

What Needs To Die?

By Danielle Dowling M.A.

What in your life is so inflamed + aggravated that it gnaws at your psyche? What keeps you up at night bleary-eyed + restless? What keeps you contemplative in the shower? Zoned out behind the wheel? What in your life is dying, fading, falling apart so that something else can be manifest? And why don’t you let it die? Whatever it is, is clearly over. Done. Finito. Yet, we cling, white-knuckled, to any remaining scraps. This is our ancient fear of change run amuck. And we tell ourselves this present decay must be better than the unknown that is waiting on the other side. Like a scavenger dog we sink our teeth into the...

The True Power Of No

By Midge Greentree

I'll always remember my first, real, big no in the work world. A new supervisor, who wanted to look good on paper, who wanted to impress, I guess, began suggesting that I conduct my business in unethical ways. Soon, the suggestions became recommendations. And then came the closed-door directive. I didn't actually say no – I didn't actually say anything. I was actually quite dumbfounded and completely dumbstruck. I just remember leaving that room and meaning no, knowing it. Still, I called Pops for some advice, because I was twenty-something and new at this career thing, and Pops had seen and done it all, I was sure. Sure enough,...

Help Your Child Become An Inspired Leader

By Ashley Ryan

I recently read a study that said 78% of people are unhappy in their career. This got me thinking about the golden handcuffs that keep us stuck in jobs that we don’t love. And how with a little bit of prevention, and planting a seed for our kids, maybe they could have the opportunity to have a career they love. I did an interview with Dr. Greg Schreeuwer, from Be Who You Wanna Be, on this very topic. Q: What’s the single most important element in supporting and inspiring our children to be fulfilled, inspired and purposeful about their lives? I feel a key to supporting and inspiring our children to live a purposeful life...

Ask And It Is Given

By Leslee Horner

My daughter is a stickler for routine. If a change occurs without her knowledge, you will find her in quite a tizzy. Yesterday the weather report called for storms and possible tornadoes. I'd told her the night before that I might not be able to walk to school to pick her up. Panic flashed across her face. I assured her I'd do my best not to change the routine and sent her to bed. When we woke up in the morning, the sky was grey and the wind fierce. I sent her and her sister off and took out my journal. I wrote down a prayer. I prayed for my safety in travels that day and that the bad weather would hold off long enough...

A Word About Your Beautiful Anger

When I get stuck about what to write about, I’ll often ask a friend to give me a word and then just jam on that. This morning’s word was “resurrection” and, of course, the first thing I thought about was “insurrection.” A quick on-line dictionary check, gave me these definitions: Insurrection: A violent uprising against an authority or government: "opposition to the new regime led to armed insurrection". Resurrection: a rising again, as from decay, disuse, etc.; revival. It’s interesting... Read More.....

The Role Of Vows

Maggie Lyon,

May 10, 2013

I am spending a lot of time at the moment studying and meditating on the role of vows in our lives, meaning I am in the midst of making much more intentional vows (or intimate declarations) towards making our world a brighter, more awakened place. This has a lot to do with my recent trip/retreat back home to Northern California and the inspiration to deepen my commitment to Zen Buddhist practice that occurred rather wonderfully and organically while I was there. It also has a great deal to do... Read More.....

Taurus Solar Eclipse: Hard Work, Fresh Flowers

Sashay, Shante! Today's Taurus new moon is also a game-changing eclipse. Taurus rules the zodiac's second house of work and money, and eclipses are known to bring surprise events (and opportunities) out of the blue. Dunno about you, but we're ready for this economic stimulus package, courtesy of the stars. Solar eclipses fall at new moons, which means they bring fresh beginnings, often out of the blue. (Read our feature on solar and lunar eclipses to learn more.) In the spirit of just-the-... Read More.....

Self Improvement VS. Self Acceptance

Mike Robbins,

May 8, 2013

I had the honor of meeting author Robert Holden recently when we both spoke at the Hay House IGNITE event in San Jose, CA (which was an amazing experience, by the way). Robert is someone whom I’ve admired for quite some time. It was wonderful to get a chance to meet him in person and hear him speak live. In his talk, he said “There’s no amount of self improvement that can make up for a lack of self acceptance.” This statement really struck me and as I started to think about it more, I...
