One of the many ways I’m blessed in my life are the Life of Yes℠ updates that Cheese-Its give me — “I decided to move to China!” “I told my crush my feelings!” “I asked for the promotion!” “The handygal you referred did such great work!” “Someone I met at one of your events hired Read more…
One of my favorite aspects to Fear Experiment℠ (FE) was the parade of parents post-show coming up to me in the lobby and sending me notes, spewing words wrapped in loving awe and joy for their babies.

She’s front and center at :50 — The epitome of quiet courage, she continually blows my mind and makes me so proud. Below she talks about Read more…
Just back from Camp, the idea of people from all walks of life all struggling with similar issues, no matter how many degrees they have, what their pay-stub says, if they’re the life of the party or the party wallflower is at the forefront of my thoughts. It seemed good timing to share this is Guest Post by Shaily Read more…
This is a Guest Post by Kandy Christensen who came into my life six years ago, first from a far when she was in the audience for the original Fear Experiment℠ to cheer on her friend and second from a near aka my living room when she came over for my vision board event. And she’s never Read more…
