This month I am focusing on designing an ambitious goal for 2021. Many of my clients have been struggling this year with feeling like their life has been put on hold. They don’t feel in control of their lives. Battling COVID-19 in March, my stamina was deeply affected. I scaled back to what was essential […]
Are you tired of feeling like your life is on hold? Take back control and create an ambitious 2021. This year we have experienced the cancellation of plans, self-isolation, and uncertainty. Social distancing, lockdown, working from home or having lost work entirely has left us feeling anxious, listless, scared, bored, and out of control. Did

The second wave of COVID has arrived and the numbers show that at least where I am living, it has hit even harder than the first time. Yet the reactions from the government are far less restrictive. The reactions from people are different too. We are being asked to stay home again, but this time

The years with small children were often plagued with exhaustion and frustration, especially about facing it all alone overseas. My husband was off to work, and I was left to cook, clean and entertain my child, and sometimes it was just downright tedium. I remember texting other mothers at 9 am to beg them to
After spending way too much time alone with my baby, I decided it was time to make new friends; friends with kids. Finding new friends can be daunting for any expat. It felt even stranger having to do it after living here for more than five years already. All my friends were at work during

I gave birth to my daughter in a foreign country. The care was wonderful and the view was even better. I’ll admit I was scared to go home with the baby. My husband picked us up after work on a Friday. We thought we were prepared. By the second day, I had to send my
