This Mother's Day I got to sit on the other side of the microphone and be interviewed by my son-in-law, Mosh, for his podcast. We talked parenting, grand-parenting, life coaching, and life in general.
 
What made it especially meaningful was getting to watch him do what he does so naturally and so well. Really fun conversation and a great reminder that some of the best moments come from simply showing up, being yourself, and connecting honestly.

Be someone others want to be around, not by performing or people-pleasing, but by being grounded, genuine, kind, and fully yourself.

Your energy, presence, and the way you treat people matter more than trying to impress them.

This week's practice:
Notice who you become in different environments.
Where do you shrink, over-explain, perform, or seek approval?
And where do you feel grounded, open, and fully yourself?
Practice returning to the version of you that feels most authentic: calm, self-respecting, and real.

That energy naturally draws the right people toward you.

Not everything deserves your energy.
 
Discerning what to engage with-and what to ignore-is a superpower right now.
 
Attention is currency, and where you place it shapes how you feel, think, and act.
 
Practice for the week:
Before you respond to anything (a message, a request, a situation) pause and ask:
"Is this worth my energy?"
If it's not, release it without guilt.

We think luck just happens.
But it doesn’t.
Luck is built ….through action, openness, and showing up.
The more you try, reach out, and say yes- the more opportunities find you.
This week’s practice: Do one thing that expands your luck.

Ways to Expand Your Luck (inspired by Tina Seelig)

       •     Say yes more often
       •     Start conversations
       •     Follow your curiosity
       •     Share your ideas
       •     Take imperfect action
       •     Change your routine
       •     Reframe setbacks

I’m adding...
*Trust the Universe (have faith)

♥️The more you engage with life, the more life opens back up to you.

Luck isn’t found.
It’s created.

We're so used to asking everyone else, (therapists, friends, family), for advice that we forget to consult the one voice that's always with us: our own.

Every time you ignore your inner guidance, self-trust weakens.

Every time you listen, even in a small way, it grows stronger.

This week, take one small step.
Before asking someone else, pause and ask yourself: What do I already know is right for me?

Then trust it. 🩷

In a world that glorifies constant doing, there's quiet power in simply being.

Sometimes the most productive
thing you can do is... nothing.
No pushing. No striving. No guilt.

Rest isn't laziness, it's restoration.
It's where clarity returns, creativity resets, and your nervous system finally exhales.

Give yourself permission this week to pause without explanation.
To sit, to breathe, to just be.

Never in a million years did I think I'd be sitting around playing cards, but I love it. It's strategy, connection, laughter... and truly enjoyable.

It got me thinking, life is a lot like canasta.

Sometimes the plan you started with isn't the one that will win. You have to pivot. Shift gears. Let go of what you thought it "should" look like and play the hand you have.

Those who play know exactly what I mean.

And in life, that ability… that's resilience.

This week, notice where you may need to pivot. Don't resist it-lean in.
Do it with grace.

You will feel stronger. Clearer. And more in control of your hand!💗

Complaining does nothing but feed negative energy… and science backs that up.

Every time we complain, we reinforce neural pathways in the brain that make it easier to default to negativity. It actually trains your mind to look for what's wrong instead of what's possible. Over time, this can increase stress hormones like cortisol, impact mood, and even affect how we experience our daily lives.

If there's something you can do to improve a situation… do it. If not, choose to release it.

This week, start to notice how often you complain. No judgment, just awareness.

Take the challenge: go one full week without complaining... and see how that feels. You may be surprised at how much lighter, calmer, and more in control you become.

Aging isn’t just biological- it’s deeply psychological and emotional. Two people can be the same age and feel (and appear) decades apart based on how they think, engage and live.
 
I met an 80 year old woman who was radiant, stylish, and full of warmth….and a 93 year old man who was sharp, funny, and full of life. You would never guess their age.
 
People who age gracefully often:
*Stay curious.
*Have connections with warmth, kindness and openness.
*Take care of themselves emotionally and physically .
*Express themselves (style, humor, creativity)
*Have a mindset in which they don’t define themselves by a number
 
This week notice if you will consciously age gracefully, and BTW- be grateful that you are aging!!!! XO

What self-limiting beliefs do you carry?
"I'm not good enough."
"I'm not smart enough."
"I'm not thin enough."
"I'm not rich enough."
You get the gist.
Most of these beliefs started somewhere in childhood, and over time we began to believe they were true.
Every now and then they still pop up
- that old voice in our head.
But once we recognize what it is, we can squash it... like a game of whack-a-mole.
This week, notice when yours appears.
Then remind yourself of all the evidence that it isn't true.
Believe that instead. 💗

l've been loving the simple but powerful reminder from Mel Robbins:
Let them.
If they misunderstand you... let them.
If they don't invite you... let them.
If they choose differently... let them.
Peace doesn't come from controlling other people.
It comes from releasing the need to.
"Let them" isn't passive - it's powerful.
It protects your energy and puts you back in alignment with your values.
This week, instead of reacting... pause and say:
 
Let them.
 
And then ask yourself - What do I choose?
💛

One of the bravest things you can do is to admit when you are wrong and clean it up.

Defending your ego is easy. Taking responsibility is strength. Growth begins the moment you own it.

This week: if you make a mistake, fix it. Quickly. Kindly. Completely.
