Have you ever had a bully that picked on you in school or in the workplace? I had a few notable ones that I'll be telling you about in this episode 

Bullies can make our lives very uncomfortable can't they? Pushing us around and putting us down with negative messages. Society has a long way to go to be sure, but it does seem to be improving in education and resources regarding bullying generally.

But what do you do when the biggest bully in your life...is yourself? Tune in and I'll share a few things that have worked for me.

What does it mean to be a modern day bohemian? Well...in essence it means whatever you decide it means. That's pretty much the point of it. Why do I identify myself as one? Art, travel, nature. Freedom of thought and generosity to name a few of the common aspects that resonate deeply with me. 

Tune in to this episode and I'll be talking more about this.

This week I am honored to have as my guest Sue Weldon, founder of Unite for HER, a non-profit dedicated to providing need based supplementary services to people undergoing treatment for breast and ovarian cancers.

During her own treatments for cancer, Sue personally learned the benefits of alternative therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, massage, and nutrition in complementing traditional medical treatments. As she became more aware of how many others were unable to afford these services (they are not typically covered by insurance) to help them, both physically and emotionally after cancer diagnosis, she became passionate about creating an organization to provide them for as many people as possible.

To learn more about Sue and her amazing foundation visit the website: https://uniteforher.org
and please consider donating to this worthwhile cause.

Someone told me once that I was a badass woman and I laughed. I mean...I guess I know what they were trying to say to me. Like a hug and a high five for getting up every day to slay the dragons of single parenthood and all that goes with that. A nod to my naturally driven personality. And I appreciated the encouragement. The way life unfolded for me left me few options other than to step up and out and make things happen, no matter how tired I was. And I've done my best.

But can I confess that I'm reaching a chapter in my life now where I don't really want to be a badass woman anymore? I'm feeling ready to lay that burden down and pass the torch, so I can go create stuff and putter in my garden. Move slower. Spend more quiet moments in solitude. Just simply BE.

When you ponder the question "Who am I?" what comes up for you? I suspect first off will be a list of things that you DO. Or titles that you hold. 

But is that really the essence of who you are at your deepest core? 

In this episode I'll be talking about that. That what you DO is not who you ARE, and why it's important to remember that.
