Saying "no" to something in order to say "yes" to your own emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

Here’s a little reminder that we ALL need to hear every once in a while (myself very much included!):
 
As you contemplate your life that was and your life that can be, remember that underneath any fear that you may feel is a rich storehouse of strength, potential, and talent. The trauma that occurs with divorce may interfere with your ability to feel confident and capable, wise and knowing, but your riches are there nonetheless. As you begin to make some changes, no matter how small they may seem compared to the size of your dreams, an increased sense of confidence will follow. It will grow and expand as your transformation unfolds. There is no end to what you can accomplish. Karen Wilson
 
 
 
Listen, my friend: life is short.

Why I Say NO to Divorce Recovery.

 

I want to see you well rested. I ask my clients, how are you sleeping? It's more than knowing about if they got eight hours of sleep. Their answer tells me they're making the time to get rest  that they're feeling less fearful, less confused.

It's a sign, they're gaining inner strength and clarity, that they have dreams that have become rooted in a bright future.

 Another question that is much more than a factual question that I ask my clients is what's your story. I believe in the power of narrative and that the stories we're telling ourselves have an extensive impact on our perspective and our lives.

Each module in break up to brilliance is meant as an access, not just to healing, but to growth. Break up to brilliance is more than healing wounds from the past, it's more than returning to a place.

 It isn't just about coping because coping is about...

Everyone loves a good origin story!

Everyone loves a good origin story, right?
Peter Parker’s spider bite,  VH1“Before They Were Stars”.
 

Those stories make us believe that anything is possible—and it IS!

 
Would you believe that before I had success as a psychologist, I practiced law?
 
And..... in between practicing law and psychology, I was a yoga teacher.
 
I was a single mom of 3 and thought it would be a great idea to open a yoga studio.
 
I was determined to keep the days (and stress) of bringing my kids to my law office happily behind me.
 
I thought the laid back vibe of the yoga studio would be perfect for them.
 
Well,
I forgot just how quiet a yoga studio needs to be!
 
Half the time, when I taught yoga in my classes after 3 PM, my littlest one, Francesca Giovanna, rode piggyback or on my shoulders. My son, Logan, was the noisiest super hero.
True story.
 
But my heart was in being a psychologist and that...

Divorce Does Not Mean Failure For You or Unhappiness For Your Children

 

Ideas about Marriage were passed down to us from the generations of family before us.
