Network marketing is a curious creature. I got involved with it through listening to David Wood's podcasts, and there seem to be different views as to how it operates, or should operate. In particular, I listened recently to a conversation between David and Michael Clouse. I have to admit, this guy scared the pants off … Continue reading It’s All About the Network

How the Lizard Brain Tricked Me, Again. Sigh.
It's just amazing how the Lizard Brain can sneak up on us and sabotage us. I did it to myself the other day, in spades. It was a serious learning experience for me, and I hope it will be useful to you, too. I thought I was prepared for the Company of Women's Women in … Continue reading How the Lizard Brain Tricked Me, Again. Sigh.
Talking About Identity
Last June, my amazing friends Kaila Prins and Ito Aghayere interviewed me on their podcast, Finding Our Hunger. This was in the early days of the podcast, which has gone on to include luminaries such as Jimmy Moore, Liz Wolfe, Stefani Ruper, Dietitian Cassie, Abel James and others. Kaila and Ito have been guests hosts … Continue reading Talking About Identity
If I Am Not My Illness, Who Am I?
I've written about akrasia in the past, that odd behaviour in which we appear to act against our own declared self-interest, for no apparent reason. You know, refusing to go to bed when we are tired, getting into the brownies when we say we want to lose weight ... we've all been there. But what … Continue reading If I Am Not My Illness, Who Am I?
Making the Newsletter, and also an eBook
Remember that I was planning to document the creation of an eBook? Well, that project has just got quite a bit more meta. As I create my BlackBox newsletter, I'm documenting the steps and I'm hoping to turn that process into an eBook. It might even be useful for somebody. I think I should clarify … Continue reading Making the Newsletter, and also an eBook
Why I Love MoMondays
Finally, my belated post about my experience at MoMondays. I was invited by the lovely Stephanie Staples, at a week's notice, to come and speak. Of course I was quite terrified, but I had wonderful help from my coaches Berni Xiong and Anna Coleshaw-Echols. I practised all week, wrote out bullet points, compressed and expanded … Continue reading Why I Love MoMondays
Practising What I Preach
So, just like that, I'm going to speak at a MoMondays Winnipeg on January 6, 2014, at Sam's Place. If you are local, I hope you will come and see me. Yes, I'm terrified. So? I would assume that speakers usually have more than a week's time to prepare their talks, but this was a … Continue reading Practising What I Preach
Five Things Mothers Should Do To Take Care of Themselves
This blog post is part of the Week of Self-Love hosted by Anne-Sophie Reinhardt of annesophie.us. The lovely Anne-Sophie has a blog, a podcast and lots of wonderful videos about self-love, success and controlling that Lizard Brain. This week she is hosting a blog carnival, and I am honoured to be invited to contribute to … Continue reading Five Things Mothers Should Do To Take Care of Themselves
#BlogElul 23 – Love
We've been talking about change, about daring, and by extension about fear. What is the opposite of fear? To quote the great Steven Pressfield, the opposite of fear is love. If you follow this blog, you know that I have mixed feelings about Steven Pressfield. I love much of what he says, especially the quote … Continue reading #BlogElul 23 – Love
#BlogElul 16 – Change
As I mentioned yesterday, learning leads to change. Change is probably the scariest thing in the world, to many people. Others restlessly seek it out, bored with the everyday. What is it about change? The need for security and safety is very fundamental to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, just above such basics such as food … Continue reading #BlogElul 16 – Change
