Sometimes work can wait.

Sometimes it's time to just sit down and enjoy a cup of tea...

To let the mind wander off while taking a sip of some…

Haters Gonna Hate

Haters Gonna Hate

In the age of social media trolls, zoom bombing and, well, the internet, there will always be haters. This is a reality of the world we live in and something many of us face and therefore think about often.

But let me ask you this...

Terrifying Experiences

Terrifying Experiences

Carlee here - who else? :P

Last week some of my family and I went to New Hampshire to see the land my partner and I purchased back in January. I'm excited that soon - after 8 months of prep and, of course, waiting for winter to end - we finally are making some progress on developing our land. Before winter we'll have a driveway leading up to the forest that we will soon call our home away from home.

Needless to say I am stoked!

And, while we were up in NH, something else happened....

Hi. I'm Carlee, a recovering workaholic.

Hi. I'm Carlee, a recovering workaholic.

Once upon a time, I was a restless business owner...

I struggled with taking time off including nights and weekends and when I finally did take an evening off...

I struggled to leave work at work.

I couldn't stop thinking about….

IT'S BEEN A WHILE!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE!

You may have noticed that it's been two weeks since you've seen a blog post from me and, well, that's because I was implementing a key practice I teach my clients...

Gifts can be weird, am I right?

Gifts can be weird, am I right?

Accepting gifts can be weird sometimes, am I right?

When someone gifts us something whether it's a compliment, a hug, a drink, a meal, money, a scholarship, a house, a second chance at life...

Things can get weird.

Summer Already Booked Solid?!

Summer Already Booked Solid?!

Welp, it's official. I'm booked every weekend until Mid-August.

Between weddings, barbecues, and beach outings, I'm literally booked every single weekend through Mid-August.

Are you experiencing this as well?

I know I'm not the only one since I've seen a few of my friends on social media say the exact same thing. In fact I even saw this funny TikTok about…

When The Going Gets Tough

When The Going Gets Tough

On days when you feel like there is no hope...

Look closer...

You just might just find the hope you are looking for.

Sometimes the going gets tough...

Gosh, there's a shrub in my backyard that looked dead as a door nail after this past winter- to the point where I almost...

What the hell are THRIPS?

What the hell are THRIPS?

Funny word, right?

I just learned about the word this week and apparently a thrip is a common garden pest that damages plants by sucking their juices and scraping at fruits, flowers and leaves. A species that loves to set up shop in gardens in early spring and if left unhandled will take over an entire garden in just a few weeks.

As an avid urban gardener...

Relationships Are HARD

Relationships Are HARD

Something about spending time with those we love the most can make the entire world, that seems to be moving so fast, screech to a halt. Connection, love, that deep sense of belonging...

Spiritual Beings Living In The Physical World

Spiritual Beings Living In The Physical World

I have a theory...

A theory that at the end of the day we are all spiritual beings that just so happen to live in the physical world.

A theory that our bodies are simply vessels for our souls. That our bodies are tools that support us.

I mean, imagine navigating this world without a body...

The Order Form To The Universe

Sometimes we are just downright exhausted...Our cup, more than empty.

And, it's in these moments that we may realize that we need self-care and have absolutely no idea what to do.

Because we're tired...we're grouchy...sometimes we're even overwhelmed...

Allowing Yourself To Ask For Support In Business

Do you have this nagging inner voice that tells you you’re weak or something is wrong with you? If so, you are definitely not alone.

I brought on an incredible guest this week who is also a newfound friend. The two of us could probably talk for hours.

She shared something that is really profound in my opinion. Somewhere along the line of our lives…

Tips to Help Your Business Overcome The Pandemic

This week on The Stress Less Show, Julia Katsivo and I talked about how to reduce overwhelm in business. You know when something comes up and...

I think we can all agree that in order to be a better version of ourselves, we need to know how to navigate the world of emotions gifted to us.

In other words, to become the best version of ourselves we need a sense of emotional safety and that is exactly what Dr. Michelle Natinsky and I dug deeper into this week on The Stress Less Show.

For parents, this looks like creating an emotional foundation for our children so that they…
