One of the few TV shows I’m hooked on is, The Next Food Network Star. My husband and I both curl up on the couch each week to watch a foodie’s version of American Idol. The basic premise involves 15 want-to-be food celebrities vying for their chance to be the next Bobby Flay or Rachael…
I am a Starbucks junkie. I mean, I LOVE Starbucks. I am a Starbucks brand evangelist. I talk about Starbucks, I buy people Starbucks gift cards and I use Starbucks as my virtual office. Why do I love Starbucks so much? Especially when they charge twice as much as their competitors? It’s because of the…
I’ve been thinking about bravery today. What it means to be brave. What it means to have courage. And how this relates to business and branding. Entrepreneurship attracts a special kind of woman.

We caught up, talked kids and life, and then moved on to business. As fellow entrepreneurs and coaches, both with communications backgrounds, we have a lot in common….
I love my daughter deeply. But my 10-month old daughter is a terrible sleeper. She’s a beautiful baby and happy all day long. But when bedtime rolls around, the fit hits the shan and she becomes the baby that doesn’t sleep. Have you read the new book, the “Go the F**k to Sleep” that hit…
If you’re anything like me, you know you need to be blogging more. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love to blog. But sometimes it winds up being the task that gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do pile. Time for a big change and a big blog boost! And as a coach, I…
If you’ve spent any time researching marketing strategies, you know that everyone and their dog preaches the importance of figuring out who your ideal client is. And I’m one of them. It took me a really long time to to “get” this. And I suffered for it. Clients were showing up, but not the ones…
