The Path to Joy ·

Inspired by yet another one of my friend Cara Bradley's Sparks, let's talk about the adage 'How you do one thing is how you do everything.'

A Message for My Advice Givers!

The Path to Joy ·

2025/10/09

I don't love getting advice -- I don't even like self-help (Yes, this may be the most ironic statement I've ever written!). And I happen to think most people the same way. We pretty much want someone to listen and share space with us but, advice, not so much. So, today, let's chat 'advice!'Thanks so much for listening!

Our Comparison Problem.

The Path to Joy ·

2025/09/25

Yes, I think we can all agree that 'comparison is the thief of joy.' But, we somehow make an exception for comparison to our past selves. And we are usually not focused on the myriad of ways in which we are now 'winning.' So, today, let's talk about our self-comparison habit!Thanks so much for listening!

An Alternate Reality!

The Path to Joy ·

2025/09/23

Can we talk about an alternate reality for a moment? I know we primarily live in a very pragmatic reality where there's laundry to do and toilets to clean and money is a limited resource. I often live there too. But there's an alternate reality that we occasionally step into that doesn't feel like chores and lists and sensible choices. So, today, let's chat about that alternate reality! Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka

The Path to Joy ·

Do you feel any of that 'fall energy' around? Whether you have kids going back to school or not, fall can feel a bit more hectic, like it's time to 'kick it into high gear' after chillin' all summer. And I can feel myself rebelling against the new, quicker pace. Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.

What Would it Feel Like??

The Path to Joy ·

I Love Getting Older!

The Path to Joy ·

2025/08/19

I'm not going to go into an exhaustive list about everything I love about getting older -- I'll spare you! But, one of the aspects of getting older that I really love (and had to share with you today) is that it's pretty tough to get my feathers ruffled. It's good to be 'unruffleable' (definitely not a word so don't go spreading that one around, friends!). Thanks so much for listening!
