Goals, planning, and a softer commitment to ourselves
Jan 10, 2024 | Uncategorized
I’m the kind of person, like many, who tends to seek instant gratification. Actually, I take that back. I don’t seek instant gratification. Well, sometimes, but that’s more like for a piece of chocolate or a delicious ham sandwich. What I’m talking about today is a...
In a world of noise, what is it to have a voice?
Dec 5, 2023 | Uncategorized
Hello, my loves... How's everyone doing out there? As for me, I've been trying to write this for more than 4 weeks. I just haven't been able to do it. It's not for a lack of things to say - I always have things to say. 😉 It's just that the world around us is so noisy...
When self-doubt creeps in again. And again… And again…
Oct 18, 2023 | Uncategorized
Let's talk about self-doubt, shall we? My self-doubt flared up big on Monday. Like reeeeally big. I have some bold ideas about where I’d like to take myself and InnerVoice Studio over the next year or so that feel very exciting to me. My inner saboteur, however, was...

A personal reflection
Sep 16, 2022 | Uncategorized
September 16th is always a special day of reflection for me. On this day in 2007, I almost died when I accidentally crashed my motorcycle into a telephone pole. My injuries were so severe that the doctors at Mass General Hospital were not sure if I would live through...
Are you shy?
Apr 3, 2022 | Uncategorized
People don’t usually believe me when I tell them this, but I’m actually really, really shy. No, seriously. Hear me out. I wrestle with self-doubt, imposture syndrome, not-enoughness…and all the other usual stuff shy people and introverts (and most other humans) deal...
Cut yourself some slack
Mar 7, 2022 | Uncategorized
Sometimes it is really hard to write these emails. Every time we turn around, we are faced with another problem, challenge or hardship at the collective level. It's wonderful that we have technology that allows us to connect with folks and witness what's happening...

Mar 7, 2022 | Uncategorized
Monday is upon us again, and if you find yourself bracing for the impact of another big busy week, then this gentle invitation is for you. When you approach your tasks from a quieter mental space, things that felt impossible just a moment ago suddenly feel easy,...
A note about striving
Feb 7, 2022 | Uncategorized
Of all the unconscious behavior I see on social media every day, unconscious striving is perhaps the one that gives me the heaviest feeling in my soul. So many people out here endlessly checking boxes and celebrating hollow victories, ceaselessly extrinsically...
