In the busy-ness of deadlines, meetings, and professional growth, it’s easy to forget that success isn’t just about chasing; it’s also about attracting.  It’s about clearing the mental clutter and making space – in our minds, hearts, and lives – to welcome new opportunities, relationships, and energies.  This is THE POWER OF SPACE. The next […]

For me… being vulnerable as a woman and leader was excruciating!   I spent years abandoning my feminine and running away from myself in my corporate career.  Until I couldn’t run anymore… I was exhausted and wearing a suit of armor, hiding any ounce or trace of vulnerability because I was terrified [and I didn’t even […]

We are often at the intersection of ambition and pleasure in this world of constant change.  We strive for success in our careers, but we also crave moments of joy and self-indulgence. And guess what? It’s absolutely okay to desire both. I recently found myself having a moment while wandering through Hermes, an upscale French […]

Burnout is one of the top reasons so many women leave their jobs and quit their careers or transition away from the work they do.  They just can’t take it any longer, they’re not happy. And it’s silent… it creeps up on us. Burnout shows up as exhaustion, overwhelm, anxiety, frustration, reduced efficacy, distancing, even […]

I want to talk about something close to my heart, a question that has been on my mind lately: Are you nourished? When I say “nourished,” I don’t just mean in the physical sense, though that’s important too.  I’m talking about the nourishment of our souls, our minds, and our hearts. In this fast-paced world, […]

In the unfolding story of my life, I’ve discovered that it’s often the smallest moments that leave the most profound imprints. Each act of courage, each victory, no matter how small, adds a vibrant chapter to my unique narrative. As a woman, I am the author of my own story, and it is within my […]

Listen, I know we’ve all faced our share of challenges, but it’s not the setbacks that define us, it’s how we bounce back.  It’s about the bravery to forgive ourselves for the times we fell short For the moments we stayed silent For the instances we let self-doubt creep in Resilience is about acknowledging our […]

What makes you feel powerful? What makes you feel worthy? I remember being a young woman, engrossed in dreams of becoming a strong, confident woman who knew her worth and wasn’t afraid to show it. Growing up, I was surrounded by many examples of this kind of self-assured woman… My Mom.  My Aunts.  My Grandmothers…   […]

Today, I want to share some thoughts on a topic that is close to my heart important for all of us, especially women, to understand and embrace.   It’s about the power of saying “No.” In our fast-paced society, we often find ourselves trying to be everything to everyone. We strive to be perfect mothers, partners, […]

What makes you courageous? I remember being a young woman, tucked away in the stacks at the local library, engrossed in biographies of strong, fearless women who stood up for what they believed in. Chanel. Cleopatra. Queen Victoria.   Growing up, I was also surrounded by many audacious female role models… That inspired something deep within […]

I was reflecting back on my past career last evening as I was reading a book that jogged an old memory in me. It’s almost surreal to identify the woman I am now with the one in the past. That woman was anxious, constantly caught in the throes of stress. She bore the weight of […]

I was scrolling through some old journal entries in my office last night.  It’s surreal to recognize the woman I am now with the woman I once was… That woman had countless dreams but “worked hard” to pursue them. She viewed failures as the final stop, not as detours on the journey to success.  She […]

Great accomplishments are often born from small acts of courage. Especially when it comes to overcoming challenges. Small actions. Small victories. Small changes to your self-perception. While I’m a passionate champion of chasing the monumental ambitions in life, I’ll never undervalue the small steps towards conquering our fears. It’s all about cherishing the small strides […]

When I finally got tired of being ignored, passed over for another promotion, or not invited to have a seat at the table… I started speaking up… …loud and clear.  Many didn’t expect this from me.

If you don’t value your feminine, nobody else will.  Don’t discount yourself or your worth, as a woman. When you shift into the mindset you are a high-value woman, you attract who you are, and you attract what you are.   Own the room.  Invite yourself to the table.  Walk directly into what you know […]

We’ve all probably heard most of these… or maybe even “done” these:  Which perspective do you hold?  The need to achieve or the ability to receive?   There is a difference.  Let me give you an example. Years ago, I used to shun compliments when I received them. I also used to work all the time […]

Oprah said “Think like a Queen.  A Queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.” Your desire for success must be greater than your fear of failure.  When you step forward in confidence you’ll succeed.

A feminine leader lives in balance with her feminine and masculine energies.  She lives in her feminine but steps into her masculine BY CHOICE. Let me paint a picture… She embodies empowerment, positive energy, believes in choice and connection, embodies empathy, goes in flow, is big picture strategy, vision, intuition and is magnetic for people.  […]

There is a freedom when we detach from the outcome of what we want.  When we are attached to something (or even someone) we give our power away. Choice transforms what could be into what is. It manifests.  When you feel a sense of control, anxiety, fear or worry, you’re attached. When you relax and place your […]

I love the quote by Oprah about courage that says “The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only […]

How many times have you done something or said something that wasn’t fully your “truth” because you were concerned about what others would say or think?

I first learned about sauntering when I was living in Paris working for an international French company many years ago.  The French culture taught me about this little secret.

“The rise of the Divine Feminine does not have to be at the expense of the Sacred Masculine. It is about the complete respect of the differences that the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine bring to the physical and spiritual union.” ~ Reena Kumarasingham We all have both masculine and feminine energies inside ourselves. When […]

A high-value woman is magnetic. She is sought-after, knows her inherent value, and SHE determines it, not anyone else. Let me ask you: I know I’ve had my struggles and journey by running away from myself while handing over my value and worth to others outside of me. I’ve made myself small, presented myself behind […]

What in the heck are our values?  Values are our unique personal sets of beliefs.  They are deeply personal, uniquely ours, and they guide our behaviors.  You could say they are the motivators behind our actions and help me determine what is important to me. When we live in our values, we experience harmony and […]

Louis Vuitton once said, “The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality – a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognized.” When I was on vacation in Paris several years ago, and dining in a nice restaurant with my husband (who is French!), I had an experience […]

We are brilliant at multi-tasking! We’ve been handed so much, and we’ve figured out how to “get it all done” by multi-tasking.   Multi-tasking can be exhausting, draining, and overwhelming.   Multi-tasking keeps us from being present in the moment and actually decreases productivity.   We all do this as women. Myself included, and I was a master […]

Someone said, “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.” When I learned how to make decisions from my FUTURE SELF, I was able to live a more empowering life!   We can move forward to create our lives however we want We can recreate ourselves at any […]

What do you deeply desire? Desire is to want, hunger, and crave. It can be for something you wish for or wish to happen, like a feeling, a thing, a way of doing something, or a way of being. It can be anything! Our desires motivate us. But many of us have not been taught […]

I believe that there is no ordinary life. And we are not ordinary women – we are extraordinary women creating our most extraordinary lives! I also believe in the beauty of imperfection.

Every person has feminine aspects to their lives, no matter how they identify their gender. And that simple fact inspires me. So, I got creative with it in my journal and created a bit of poetry: We Are… by Susan Elizabeth We are the dancers, the dreamers, and the lovers.   We are the believers and […]

In my last blog, I spoke about the strength found in feminine qualities and how the corporate world often views them as a weakness. When I entered that world, I remember being terrified of applying my feminine power in the workplace. And why wouldn’t I have been? Time has proven that the corporate environment rewards […]

Everyone has routines and rituals that get them through their everyday life. But so often, these terms are mixed. Because there is a fundamental difference between a ritual and a routine, knowing this will help you make more deliberate, conscious choices in how you approach either. What’s Your Routine?A routine is, well, routine: It’s a […]

The number one thing that really holds women back? It’s their mindset. They believe that they need to run around trying to prove themselves to everyone and everything outside themselves. Because underneath all that running, proving, and doing, is probably the deep belief that they may not be good or worthy enough.   Powerful women need […]

Worthiness is the quality of being or feeling good enough. It’s about having self-worth. It’s feeling valuable, or like you are “of value”. Having love and compassion and acceptance of all of yourself.   When we hustle for our worthiness, we may be trying to prove ourselves to others in our lives. This causes us to […]

“When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are.” – Oprah “We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves.  We have to step up and take the lead.”  – Beyonce   “You don’t become what you want; you become what you believe.” – Oprah “Our deepest fear is […]

When we stop trying to prove ourselves, always running, performing, and achieving, we can accomplish so much more from our natural state of feminine power with flow and grace. Here’s how: Through belief in your abilities and the value you provide. Yes, it’s that simple, but it can be super hard to do! Life teaches […]

Who do you want to be?  Use visualization and creativity to “be” your best […]

First, know you are potent and powerful.  You have everything right inside of you, you are not broken and don’t need to be fixed. You’re smart enough. And you’re more than capable so ditch any scarcity, negative thinking, and the mindset of lack.   This includes the limiting beliefs we may be holding that keep us […]

We all have both aspects of masculine and feminine energy or in each one of us.  First, I’d like to describe each energy, so we have clarity about what aspect each one is.

How many of us have felt depleted, burned out, and overwhelmed? We’ve given our energy to everyone else and put ourselves second, or even… last?

When I lived in Paris, and through my many visits to France over the years, I’ve always been in awe of the French luxe feminine lifestyle and bring a tiny part of it home each time with me. I’m also reminded daily of the French “way” of life by being married to a French man.
