You bet Betsy shines her light! And she wants every reader who picks up the book Get Up to not be afraid of shining their light either. But whoa. I need to slow down. Before I dive into the small but mighty quote that Betsy McLeod (@betsy.mcleod) shared, in chapter 5, there is so much […]
The most powerful advice that came across my laptop, was just less than a year ago. I will never forget the feeling I had while reading. It just blew me off of my chair as it was so honest and brave. I often refer to it and wonder about the author. What was going through […]
How could I have a blog for families without a parent’s checklist? It’s about time that I cover this crucial topic. The challenge was, who to ask? Yes, I could have written it. But there’s nothing like a fresh perspective from another mother. A mother that has been through the parenting grind, just like me, […]
Where to learn the best lessons from Leanne? Choose your place. The classroom, in a counseling session, or at one of her Mental Health Empowerment Day (MHED) conferences. I first met Leanne Matlow (@leannematlow) at the latter, when MHED (@mentalhealthempowermentday) was in person and I had a booth to raise awareness of the program Brave […]
The best way to read Get Up is not what you may think. I know you all know how to read a book and the last thing you want to hear is someone telling you how to. However, if there is one thing I appreciate from my readers is the act of honesty. What have […]

No matter what level of fitness you practice, finding excellent exercises for your hips should be a priority! Why? Because hip pain sucks! If you are younger than 20 and you are reading this, you will thank me when you are 40. You’re welcome. And if you are over 40 – not to worry my […]
The very first time I met Megan Cote Khosroshahi, (@megancotekh) I was convinced that the world needs people like Megan. Wife, Mother, Friend, dedicated employee, and all-around spectacular human being. Megan works with Lisa Borden (@lisaborden) at Borden Communications (@BordenCommunications) and The Akira Concept (@theakiraconcept). Her title is Director of Execution and Evolution. The way […]
The best collaboration sometimes begins with a rocky start. In my case, it was a flip phone. “What’s that noise?” I frantically looked around, hoping no one would notice. But it was too late. My flip phone was making a beeping sound and I didn’t know how to turn it off. It was the early […]
Lovely Linda Kessler Shapiro. Since publishing Get Up, there have been some podcasts and IG lives, but also blog interviews with the mentor memos. Mentors who have done some pretty amazing things in our world, who answered the question : What would you say to your teenage self? Just like this. Liz Waisberg’s (@lizwaisberg) interview was not a one-hit-wonder. I’ve […]
