Anytime I get the chance to share my thoughts with other women on how to become sassy, I’m one happy girlfriend! I was lucky enough to give a presentation to a group of awesome businesswomen with Key4women at Key Bank yesterday. Of course, I discussed the 6 steps to finding your inner sass— which was an extension of some of the principles that are presented in my book “31 Days to...
Right this minute, I am sitting outside on a patio enjoying the bright blue skies and warm sunshine. There’s a gentle breeze blowing and two birds above me chirping a calming melody. If I look up from my computer, I can see the palm trees swaying. Let’s just say that I am feeling pretty content, happy and relaxed, which is a far cry from where I was just 6 days ago.

I was working with a client the other day when she mentioned that she had always been told she was going to do something very special in life. This burden of success weighed heavily on her heart throughout her life. What was the one special thing she was destined to do? Is she letting everyone down? Is she supposed to be president or CEO of a massive company in order to...
I’m beginning to notice a pattern when I speak with women about finding their strengths and passions in life. Often, there is some confusion surrounding the process to finding your “real” self. For example, at the last “Sassy Girlfriend Talk”, we were discussing what you enjoyed doing when you were young. The reason I always ask this question is because usually, when we are young, we partake in activities that us...
I was shopping at Anne Taylor Loft a few months ago. As it’s my ritual in every store I enter, I first walked over to the sale rack to see what bargains I might be able to find. The rack was pretty picked over, but hiding behind two other pairs of pants was an awesome pair of jeans. I excitedly noticed that the size was right so I reached for the...
My mother was known as a very wise woman. On a regular basis, women would come to our house seeking my mother’s wisdom. I vividly recall her various friends sitting around the kitchen table, waiting for my mom to help them solve their issues and make sense of their predicament. She somehow had a knack at understanding people and seeing through to the truth in every situation.
One of my mother’s favorite...
I met Wendy at a networking event in October. While the two of us talked, it wasn’t long before we discussed plans to meet for lunch. Deep in conversation, Wendy told me that her mother was involved in a weekly women’s group. She said that they referred to it as the “Angel Group”. They would meet to discuss all the struggles that go along with being a woman in today’s world.

Are you a girlfriend that has perfected the art of worrying? If you have, I’m not surprised. Most women I come across have spent a good portion of their life practicing this sport. Let me be honest— there have been points in my own life where I wasted my valuable time taking part in this activity. But is it really worth it?
They say that 40% of what you worry about never...
My husband has a bad habit. He likes to make lists of tasks that he feels I need to accomplish. As you might imagine, this doesn’t go over very well with me. You know why? I don’t like to be told what to do. I’m going to guess that most people don’t like being told what to do or what needs to be changed in their own lives. If you’re anything...
By now, I think everyone knows that I spent my Thanksgiving holiday in New York City with my family. What stereotypes come to your mind when you think about New York City? Do you think about the high crime rate and how unsafe you are in the big city? Does it immediately come to your mind how rude and abrasive people are? Let me share the following story with you.
The entire...
