Bespoke Video

Back in December, I travelled to Union Square in NYC to shoot bespoke video for Interior Designer Suzanne Eberhardt. Video instantly captures your authenticity and shows people how you want your company to be seen.  It also creates immediate credibility — upleveling your presentation — and, on a more personal note, it comes with the added […]

No excuses: Stick to your exercise program

Okay. So you made a New Year’s resolution to start exercising. You may even have joined a gym. But you’re already finding excuses why you can’t go today – no time, too tired, just don’t feel like it. Only 17.1 percent of women ages 25 to 44 get enough physical activity, according to Women’s Health […]

Get Out Of Dodge For The Holidays

If the weather hasn’t shocked your soul into submission, the holiday onslaught just might. Usually, I can handle Thanksgiving just fine — grateful that I’m a single woman living in North America — but truth be told, by the time I’ve swung through, Christmas, New Year’s and that “holiday” that happens on February 14th, I’m […]

Ditch Your Inner Critic

By Amy Ahlers, Certified Life Coach & Author “If only I were thin enough, beautiful enough, rich enough…THEN I could stop being so hard on myself.” Have you ever had that thought? If only your circumstances were different you could then magically shift your internal dialogue into an empowering, nurturing, loving one, right? After more […]

Foods That Might Be Harmful To Your Health

Nearly every week some study comes out about diet and nutrition, citing one or another food or drink and its effect on our health. Sometimes, the results are conflicting, so making sense of it all can be confusing. The fact is that some things are really good for us and others have some value when […]

Be Better, Not Bitter

Divorce is devastating. Whether initiated by you or something you tried to prevent from happening, the end result is the same.  A relationship you had expected and planned to be part of forever has died, and the immediate months or even years after divorce can be much like grieving a death. Similar to the experience […]

Ditch The Diet: Go Mediterranean

If you’re like me, you’ve tried a few fad diets designed to lose those extra pounds fast. You know the ones…they consist of eating large amounts of one or two foods or food combinations that “burn fat,” or they include a rigid menu from which you cannot stray. Some are low-fat, while others are low-carb. […]

Can’t Lose Weight? It Could Be Your Thyroid.

Would you know if you had a thyroid problem? Say, you’re on a diet, but losing nary a pound. Or you’re experiencing an inexplicable weight gain. Maybe your skin and hair are dry, and you’re always tired. You’re constantly feeling cold or suffer from constipation and are having heavy periods. Many of these symptoms can […]

The End Of An Oprah

I’ve been in denial about this moment but now it has finally come.  Today, the Oprah Winfrey Show as we know it, will come to an end. I remember a distant cousin visiting from Austria back in 2003 who didn’t have a clue who she was. I asked him if he had been living under a […]

Too young for perimenopause?

Irregular periods. Night sweats. Vaginal dryness. What gives?  If you’re in your 30s or 40s, you could be in perimenopause – that two-to-10-year period before the onset of  menopause. Our grandmothers called it “the changes.” During the transitional years leading up to menopause our hormones begin going whacky. The times between periods may get shorter […]
