Where fore art thou love?
It’s that time when people think of romance. I was on the bus yesterday and a woman said Valentine’s Day is coming up we women better stick together and I thought that was sad. I speak to many men and women who have a hard time finding a relationship. It doesn’t matter if their a […]

For many it becomes a lifestyle. I recently sat with a client who insisted her ability to have a social life and be a professional in her field was completely reliant on looking like she had it all together. The fake it till you make “syndrome.” But the problem with that is after a while […]
