“Just about the time I think I’ve settled into my current job…and my life … these crazy thoughts and dreams about what I’d love to do pop up again. I don’t understand why I can’t just settle in and be content?” My client had done extensive work in resurrecting her Champion within. Yet I understood…
“Yeah … I’m just livin’ the dream!” This, all too often, is a repeated punch-clock phrase allocated to the emotional-negative-pile, which is almost … NO! … it IS … our national ‘9 to 5’ stuck on the hamster wheel joke-line at work. Like many of my clients, he was stuck in doubt and insecurity at…
“It’s been a rough road for us, so we decided to call it quits after over 20 years of marriage. But since we’ve been apart, we both have come to realize how much better our lives are together. Now, what do we do?” My client was truly distressed. And although I totally understood the distress,…

“I am so confused! My wife tells me, that I’ve got an ego bigger than Dallas, like. Then today she told me my ego strength is below ground zero … and the two needed to flip-flop! WTH?!” I had to laugh, because the way people throw around the word “ego” in pop psychology is indeed…
“My life is good. My marriage is good. Our kids are good. Our finances are good.” Then she looked at me sheepishly as she continued. “Is it just arrogant to show up here and say everything’s good? But then say that I’m really longing for it to be great?” Ahhhhhh …yes…I mused! The kind of…
