From My Hands & Heart: How Craniosacral Therapy Can Benefit Your Health

By Monica Wilcox

A week ago I had never heard of Craniosacral Therapy. Today I’m lying on a massage table getting my first session. Serendipity: the gift that keeps on giving. The therapist, Kate Mackinnon asks me a few questions. How am I feeling? Great, minus the stress of introducing your novel to the world. Any aches or pains? Would my daughter’s social studies grade count? Any surgeries or traumatic physical events. Well, I threw my upper ribs out doing P90X, I’ve delivered 2 kids and I had this freakishly embarrassing waterskiing accident in the early ‘90s that cleaned out my bowels, bladder and uterus. I eventually ended up in surgery to...

Mind Over Medicine Is A New York Times Bestseller!

By Lissa Rankin

I found out that Mind Over Medicine debuted on the New York Times Bestseller’s List this past Sunday, and it’s all because of YOU. So this is an unabashed love letter. Thank you all for making this great honor happen. I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.

Thank you for buying the book, posting about it on social media, and sharing it with your friends, family members, and health care...

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,...

Why I Have A Hard Time Meeting My Needs In The Moment

Anna Guest-Jelley,

April 20, 2013

I recently got a migraine. That, in and of itself, is not particularly big news. I've been getting migraines for the past 16+ years, so it's not too shocking to me when I get another one. However, one big thing was different this time. I noticed something new. Identifying My Needs After years of dismissing the idea that “stress” had anything to do with my migraines (oh, the evil eye I gave my first doctor when he suggested that as a contributing factor when I was 16!), it was with...

Vaginaphobia: Stupid Euphemisms For Pussy Are Junk

Tinamarie Bernard,

April 19, 2013

Sometime between the birth of my first child & perimenopause, I missed the memo: Stupid Euphemisms for Vagina. I am stumped. When did we start calling our parts 'junk'? In the irreverent voice of modern society, is adult potty talk masking vaginaphobia or is it just an attempt to find a cheap laugh and a decent orgasm? Motives don't matter in the long run, at least not to my nether region. Yoni is very vocal about her preferences, especially since her procreative duties are over with. She... Read More.....

Young Woman Doing Well By Doing Good

Dana Theus,

April 18, 2013

I had the pleasure of chatting with a young woman recently who is living an amazing life and doing amazing things for a truly innovative organization here in D.C. called DC Central Kitchen. Abby Elsener has lived an exciting life, vising South Africa and exploring her personal drive to succeed. She is now working for one of the most innovative non profits I know of on the fundraising and development team. DC Central Kitchen isn’t just a soup kitchen. In addition to preparing food for those... Read More.....

I’ve been thinking about time a lot lately. Specifically: Where has it all gone? How can I get more of it? Why’s it moving so damn fast? I have none. Is it really possible to bend it? (Keep reading.) Last week I had a short coaching session with one of Martha Beck’s Master Coaches – the slathered in Awesome Sauce, Jen Trulson. I won’t get... Read More.....

Self Sabotage Is A Bitch

Danielle Dowling M.A.,

April 16, 2013

Allow me to set the scene: I’m talking to a client who has recently broken up with an amazing guy who worshiped the ground she floated over. “Why did you walk away from him?” “I don’t know, ” she said mystified and withdrawn. “Could it be because you were afraid of having what you wanted?” I offered. Lightbulb. Yes, that’s it. Self sabotage is a bitch. And she’ll cost you. We reach for self sabotage when we fear our own empowerment... Read More.....
