Day 4, 5 and 6. I’m headed home tonight. It’s a beautiful place!🌺

Day 3 at the writing yoga retreat. We did a breath work class. Wow! So powerful. Lots of nature and amazing women I’m surrounded by and inspired.

Day two at my writing and yoga retreat in Hawaii. The resort is self sustaining. They generate all the electricity from solar and grow most of the food we eat. The mango tree is 100 years old. Check out the size of the avocados. I’m working on finishing up the first draft of my memoir. It’s been a peaceful place to write. 🌺

Self-control is about suppression. Self-regulation is about staying present with your emotions without falling apart. When we can navigate our own internal storms, we can stay connected during moments of tension with others. Conflict isn’t the doorway—it’s what comes after: repair, understanding, and growth.

10/15/2025

Most of us avoid conflict, thinking it’s a sign that something’s gone wrong. But conflict itself isn’t the enemy—disconnection without repair is. Every misunderstanding or misstep is actually an invitation to connect more deeply. True intimacy grows not from constant harmony, but from repair.

The Power of Discord by Drs. Ed Tronick and Claudia Gold can reshape how you see conflict in relationships.

The book shows that disconnection—not conflict itself—is what harms relationships. True intimacy grows through repair: coming back together after misunderstandings, staying present with tough emotions, and learning that love and safety can coexist with imperfection.

Conflict isn’t the enemy—it’s the doorway to connection.

What surprised me most about sleeping better wasn’t just the rest — it’s how everything else improved.

My focus is sharper. My energy lasts longer through the day. My mood feels steadier.
And it all started with one change: taking alcohol off the table for a while.

Sleep is the foundation for how we show up — at work, in relationships, and for ourselves.
Sometimes one small shift can reset everything.

Alcohol feels like a shortcut to relaxation — but it’s secretly sabotaging your sleep.

Yes, it can help you fall asleep faster, but it disrupts REM sleep and increases nighttime awakenings. The result? You wake up groggy instead of refreshed.

If you’re not ready to quit completely, even cutting back can help. Then try these evidence-based tips:
• Keep a consistent sleep schedule
• Limit screens before bed
• Create a relaxing wind-down routine
• Keep your room cool and dark
• Avoid caffeine late in the day
• Get morning sunlight

Small changes, big difference.

If you asked me the number one thing that’s improved my sleep lately, I’d have to say: taking a vacation from alcohol.

I decided to stop drinking — none, zip, nada — and the change has been remarkable. I’m sleeping more deeply, staying asleep, and waking up rested for the first time in years.

We tend to think alcohol helps us “relax,” but research says otherwise. It suppresses REM sleep (the most restorative phase) and leads to more frequent wake-ups.

If better sleep has been on your wishlist, this might be the place to start.
Your future well-rested self will thank you.

Some barriers to motivation are less obvious—but just as powerful. 💡

Here’s what research shows:

Stress overload – Even mild stress impairs planning and decision-making, pushing you toward reactive choices.

Sleep loss – Lack of sleep lowers cognitive effort and intrinsic motivation.

Depression/anhedonia – Reduced reward drive makes effort feel less worthwhile.

Learned helplessness/low control beliefs – Feeling like you have no control can stall all action.

Intolerance of uncertainty & worry-driven avoidance – Overthinking and avoidance slow progress toward goals.

Delay aversion & steep discounting – Preferring immediate rewards over long-term goals reduces persistence.

Understanding these blockers can help you plan strategies that actually work for your motivation. Start small, manage stress, prioritize sleep, and focus on what you can control.

Ever wonder why it’s so hard to get motivated sometimes? Science has some answers. 🧠

Here are a few key barriers:
1️⃣ Low expectancy, low value, or high “cost” – If you don’t believe you can succeed, don’t see the worth, or anticipate too much effort, motivation drops.
2️⃣ Thwarted psychological needs – Lack of autonomy, competence, or connection reduces intrinsic motivation.
3️⃣ Procrastination drivers – Task aversiveness, delay, and impulsivity all make putting things off more likely.
4️⃣ Perfectionism & fear of shame/failure – Worrying about messing up can keep you stuck.

Awareness is the first step. Once you know what’s holding you back, you can start taking small, practical actions to move forward.

Struggling with motivation? You’re not alone.
One of the most common questions I hear is: “I just can’t get motivated—what should I do?”

Here’s the thing: Motivation doesn’t usually show up before you start. It comes after.
I like to remind my clients: Don’t wait for the want to.

Think about exercise. We rarely feel like going to the gym, but afterwards? We feel stronger, lighter, more motivated to go again. Action fuels motivation—not the other way around.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with another shift: putting my phone down. I check it only every two hours instead of every time I feel stuck or bored. What I’ve noticed is surprising—I feel more creative, focused, and motivated. Without the constant pull of scrolling, my mind has more space to generate ideas and actually follow through on them.

If you’re struggling with motivation, try this:

Start small—take the tiniest step, even if you don’t feel like it.

Protect your focus—experiment with putting your phone down and see what happens.

You might be surprised how much energy and motivation follow once you get going.
