Money has been part of my career- financial services helps families grow and preserve wealth. Risks of death and dying were part of daily meeting banter, conferences and communications. Speaking about the risk of dying and where money flowed was my go-to money mindset. You’ll get money, you’ll try to have extra and work has […]
The “sandwich generation” has long referred to those juggling the needs of both growing children and aging parents, often at the cost of their own time and energy. I’ve experienced this twice in my own life—once in my 30s with my Mom’s cancer and most recently with my Dad’s heart attack. It’s the drop everything, […]
“This is for the people who are not in the long process of giving up. It has everything to do with age, but nothing to do with your job, your gender or whatever or whether you live in Orange County or hazard county. It has to do with being who you are and owning it,” […]
First things April’s energy was like seasonal whiplash, the springtime rain, snow, warmth, wind waking me up. Personally, 2025 was one big slowdown. Like hitting a speed bump at 40 mph, April jolted me to try things I’ve done before, again. I’ve added doodling to intuitive healing sessions with these waxy soft set. Crayon-like pens […]

Yung Pueblo defines embodiment as “the energy you give off combined with a set of actions you most often repeat.” Without conscious awareness, my own energy has sent a bat signal to the universe at I’m up for organizing, leading and running around town gathering supplies to execute all of the plans I’m in charge […]

Others call it magic, God winks, universal life force, or answered prayer. No matter your language, there’s something deeply comforting about recognizing that you’re not doing life alone. What counts […]
Walking into the small mercantile in Sedona’s old town was a gift I’d long anticipated. Alone and wandering, I moved at the pace of curiosity—visiting art galleries, quiet churches, and spaces that called to me. In one shop filled with Southwestern treasures, a jewelry counter caught my eye—and behind it stood a woman whose presence […]
In my leadership consulting work last week, I asked a small group, “When was the last time you felt happy and in flow at work?” Flow can be defined as that state of being “in the zone” — losing track of time, working with ease, syncing with a collaborator, or entering a hypnotic rhythm of […]
The Spring Series is my ode to the WSJ Magazine interview with their cover story. The potent questions illuminate what’s important for the celebrity du jour. For me, interviewing those who inspire me. Kim Albano has worn many hats in our relationship thus far- friend, colleague, boss, peer, mom friend, work wife, travel partner, stage […]
