Keep on Truckin’
I’ve been watching Conan O’Brien for years now. I giggled at his and Andy’s antics when I was supposed to be sleeping, I tried to flawlessly perform the string dance, I literally squealed when I found out he was on Twitter. I’m firmly on Team Coco. Needless to say, I was disappointed and saddened when [...]
Discover Your Essence
Your essence is like your brand name. It’s what makes you uniquely you. It’s what people “get” about you when you walk into a room, without your having to say or do anything. Getting in touch with your essence will help you know how you will impact the world with the natural gifts and qualities [...]

Rock Star Squad: ChaChanna Simpson
My newest member of the Rock Star Squad is ChaChanna Simpson. I met ChaChanna earlier this year on Twitter and was intrigued by all of the work she was doing with college students and 20-somethings. We spoke a few weeks ago on the phone and I was shocked to discover that she does all that [...]
Regain Your Power!
Sometimes life sucks. You have a manager who makes your life miserable, you don’t make enough money, your family doesn’t take you seriously and you have no significant other. But none of that is your fault. There’s nothing you can do about that, right? Wrong! You make a choice every day when you wake up. [...]
Friday Wrap-up: The First Friday of Fall Edition
Hello, hello! Hope you’re enjoying this first Friday of Fall. One sure way to tell that summer is on its way out for me is that I was able to run outside at noon without feeling like I was going to have a heat stroke. As much as I love Summer – and boy, do [...]
Burn Through Your Limits
Oftentimes, when I’m running I like to encourage the people who have started walking to keep going. It’s probably something left over from my high school track days but if I’m running up behind someone and they start walking I usually give them a gentle ‘don’t stop yet – you can do it!’ I’m sure [...]
On Imperfection
I recently spoke to another entrepreneur who upon looking at my blog immediately proclaimed that I was doing it all wrong. He was appalled that I was so honest with my readers and would readily allow you all to see my flaws, my imperfections. Why should anyone trust me as a life coach if I [...]
Friday Wrap-up: TGIF Edition
Hello Cupcakes! This week was a crazy one for me. It was filled with all day meetings and conferences which were fun but very tiring. Now I’m faced with the task of digging out from emails (and my Google Reader). I’m definitely looking forward to a relaxing next couple of days. Here’s a quick rundown [...]
Just Choose.
If you’re like me, you may have a difficult time making decisions – no matter how big or how small – without mulling it over with a small army of consultants. Case in point, I recently changed my twitter handle from ‘PolkaDotCoach’ to ‘NailahBlades‘ (make a note in your digital address books if you haven’t [...]
