Navigating Life’s Journey through Power Questions
As a certified creativity and life purpose coach for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women, I’m always exploring various scenarios with questions. I have an innate curiosity to know “who, what, where, when, why – and how.” This curiosity was instrumental in my early days as a television, radio, and print journalist. It also plays a key role in my current work as I gently guide women on a path of self-discovery as they connect with their inner voice and learn to navigate life’s many twists and turns. Asking “power questions” is part of the service I provide for my clients. It’s also something that I teach them to do for themselves. So when I found out about my colleague Sandy Nelson‘s new book, Ask Power Questions:…

Do You Feel Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere?
A few years ago, there was an American television commercial that showed a sports utility vehicle driving through a remote mountain scene. And the voice-over said, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere – or in the middle of nowhere you can find yourself.” This phrase seems to capture the sentiment of so many people in my life right now – clients, colleagues, friends, even me. Some are dealing with major life transitions that feel painfully uncomfortable – while others are preparing for new beginnings and fresh starts that involve a sense of unknowingness about the future. If we take a closer look at the first part of the phrase, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere” – we may feel…

What Reality Are You Choosing?
As we move toward the darkest day of the year, I’m mindful of how much our outer landscape mirrors our inner one. What we think and how we’re feeling on the inside can affect what we see on the outside. If our inner light is burning bright, it allows us to see beauty and possibility in the most dire of circumstances. And if our inner light is dim – or completely burned out, we’ll only see what feels dark and challenging around us. How bright is your inner light? Is it lighting up a path of vision and possibility? Or are you feeling uninspired – with a lack of vision and clarity for what might be coming next in your life? Wouldn’t it be nice…

Are You Living a Van Gogh Story?
There’s a quote by inspirational speaker and author Wayne Dyer that brings to light the power of now – and the significance that courage plays into fully realizing one’s potential. “Don’t die with your music still inside you.” As a self-empowerment coach for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who are here to express their life’s purpose through artistic endeavors, I’m fully aware of how much courage it takes to stand in front of an audience and share your unique gifts. Many adults struggle with courage and end up “holding back” – for an entire lifetime – gifts and talents that could so easily be appreciated by others. This “holding back” can be triggered by a multitude of things – lack of self-worth, lack of confidence, fear of criticism, fear of…

Sarah’s Gift: Believing in the Magic
As a certified creativity coach and life purpose alchemist, I work with divinely-inspired artists and writers on their creative process, helping them sort through their many ideas so they can choose a project that’s fully aligned with their authentic vision. A lot goes into the creative process, from idea to planning to implementation to completion. And while it can be an exciting journey, it can sometimes feel like a lot of hard work. This is where inspiration comes into the mix. When we feel inspired, the creative process begins to flow almost magically – from beginning to end. So how can we take a more inspired approach toward productivity and creative manifestation, yielding to magical results? Today, I’ve asked my colleague Erica Tucci, author of the chapter book series…
