How to Get Started with Meditation
Absolutely thrilled to share my interview with fellow certified high performance coach Kerry Smith of The Awakening Trainings.
Kerry and her husband Colin believe everyone deserves to be happy and it is everyone's birthright to live a life that cultivates inner happiness, one that comes from within and could never be fulfilled with outward desires. It is only filled with inward clarity, stillness and passion for growth, ignited by one’s own inner wisdom. They have Instilled the importance of inner peace and wisdom in the reality of their daily lives and has devoted a deep meditation practice twice a day as part of their very rigorous spiritual routine for the last 26 years.

Take the New Mindset Mastery Assessment
Take the New Mindset Mastery Assessment
If you’re feeling a little (or a lot:) overwhelmed or out of control, I hear you! You are most definitely not alone. That gets compounded when we are absorbing and managing how other family members and team members are doing.
In my household, I have one son who is in Nevada with his girlfriend and her family (I’m in California), and my younger son is on the tennis team and a senior at UC Berkeley. The tennis season was cancelled, all of his friends went home and there will be no formal graduation ceremony (except at home!). My daughter (age 20), is supposed to be in Honolulu right now with her best friend for Spring Break. As you can imagine, she’s not too thrilled to be at home with me! Despite it all, everyone seems to be taking everything in stride (most of the time:).
Let’s take a moment for YOU and check in to see how you’re doing!
How you feel and how you are managing your thoughts and...

- Commitment to family, to community and to education
- If we ever had any opportunity, any advantage, any asset, that we had a responsibility to make a way for other people, we had a responsibility to open a door
- We have a long legacy of denial of access and opportunity and that, that denial and access has been systemic. we can either adopt the norms of that culture and environment or we can choose to offer and create something different.

Power of Community for Women to Advance in the Workplace
Kristy Wallace is the CEO of Ellevate Network, one of the world's largest communities of professional women. In this interview, Kristy and Sheryl talk about how Ellevate enables women to be active participants in the workplace and beyond... not just in our own success but in the success of others.
Here Are a Couple of the Main Take-Aways:
- Gender equality does not fall into two buckets. Equal access to opportunity within our 'women' bucket has a long way to go. Depending on your race and identity, some likely face barriers that others do not.
- Be an active participant in others success, daily. This can be as simple as giving someone a shout out online, making a phone call, diversifying your meeting or even just acknowledging someone.
- Be proactive about asking 'How can I help?' We can take this a step further and offer up some specific help. For example, 'You have a big presentation coming up. Would it...

Wisdom Gained and Lessons Learned in January
Wisdom Gained and Lessons Learned in January
Sometimes trying to evolve into the best version of ourselves means we have to get downright uncomfortable... sometimes emerging victorious and sometimes not.
I’ve got some great nuggets of wisdom to share from an incredible January 2020, as well as a colossal failure that I hope we can all be inspired by and learn from!
January 14-20, 2020:
I headed to San Diego to drop off my daughter Megan at Kerry and Colin Smith's Journey Retreat. Megan is 20 years old, a total rockstar student and all around human being who happens to struggle with severe anxiety at times. Kerry is a colleague of mine, and my husband and I have been through her program. It’s intense, and I worried a little (ok a lot) if the baby in the family could or would not want to handle it. Megan went, rocked it and is forever changed with new life changing tools to manage her anxiety, be happier and ready for her next chapter: transferring colleges...
