If you’re a typical entrepreneur, chances are good that you already possess the unique combination of qualities that traditionally define the members of this particular “club”; passion, vision, risk tolerance, determination, confidence and a strong work ethic. What we ambitious entrepreneurs often forget about in our quest to create a successful business is, as the Buddha puts it, our “duty” to take excellent care of our bodies, the one we are going to be sleeping with for the rest of our lives. Here are 4 wise tips for budding entrepreneurs that the Buddha would most certainly endorse. Read More

You may think that your financial stress is about a lack of money or your struggles with your weight are about food—they aren’t! In fact, I’d bet that if you’re physically and financially unhealthy, there’s also a good chance that you’re romantically unhealthy, too—either in an unhappy, dysfunctional, or indifferent relationship (or not in one at all). How do I know this? Because all of these things are interrelated—they’re all about one missing quality: a lack of personal integrity. (I know that’s a bitter pill to swallow!) Read More
A few summers back, I watched with concern as the pack of runners participating in a popular annual race ran by me. Many of them were clearly struggling to keep up their pace and some were swooning. Later, I heard that dozens of them ended up in the hospital due to either heat exhaustion or heat stroke, both of which can be quite serious. That day we were experiencing mid 90s and high humidity, which is not something any of us are used to where I live. Read More

Based on emails from my Tushkateers* as well as various coaching conversations that I’ve had with a number of my coaching clients, the concept of ‘normal’ and ‘perfect’ has repeatedly surfaced, so I thought today we might look at ‘normal’ and ‘perfect.’

If we were in a ‘live workshop setting,’ sitting around a cracklin’ fire, I’d ask you, and we would have a mighty fine conversation. (Oh, I do love workshops!! My next is in August at Omega Institute for Holistic Living, Rhinebeck, NY – Aug 5-7). Read More
The amygdala, an almond shaped structure located in the mid-section of the brain, is crucial to our survival. It is where the “Fight or Flight” response lives. Its original function was to alert us when a drooling, hungry, man-eating lion was about to attack, lest we get eaten alive! Read More
The good majority of us have been carrying around suitcases filled with ‘incompletes’ and things we are ‘tolerating.’ These are things that irritate us, annoy us, sap our energy, slow us down and basically block us from moving forward. These are things that ‘drain’ away happiness, success, and self-esteem. These things can range from the dust behind the refrigerator to toxic people in our lives; from a bad hair color-job to our antiquated and no longer necessary belief systems. Read More
