PLN 29: When your environment doesn’t support your goals 🌍

Time to Read: 3 mins My husband and I are currently in Italy for a month. 🇮🇹 He’s on vacation. I’m working remotely. Our lives look very different in this way.

PLN 24: Is “fake it till you make it” bad advice?

Time to Read: 3 mins There’s a piece of advice that tends to make people roll their eyes: “Fake it till you make it.” I hear people dismiss it all the time.

PLN 20: That's not who I am! (Or, is it?)

Time to Read: 3 mins “I’m frustrated with myself.” Those were the first words out of my client’s mouth. They had just left a high-pressure meeting with their executive team, and they couldn’t stop replaying it in their head. Their tone… their impatience… the edge in their voice. They responded in...
