I love sundresses! I can’t say it loud enough, and I can’t own enough of them. As I get older, I am noticing my taste in sundresses change. The ones that I now navigate towards are longer, offer a little more coverage, and I tend to also prefer…

You know that awful moment when you’re standing in the middle of the living room, wondering, “Why am I here?” No, not the existential “Why am I here?” as in your reason for living, but the more ordinary “Why did I just walk into this room?”

As I listen to my clients share weekly information about their dates, I’m often surprised at what they asked the person they met on a first date… or vice-versa. My take? Some of these questions reminded me of job interviews in my 20s. I thought…

Perhaps you have been married for 30 years and suddenly end up divorced. Or like me, married for 25 years, divorced, but wasn’t quite ready to date with an ailing father and two teenage daughters. But, three years later, now the excuses are gone!

I was asked this question. Not once, twice, thrice – but four times last week. As I’m on an online dating site/app with a client, perusing potential dates for them in my role as dating coach this topic came up: Is there a way to quickly identify a fake dating…

While most people tend to travel in the warmer months to soak up the sun, winter weather can be just as exciting – and more affordable, thanks to off-season travel deals. While certain destinations beckon beach lovers and summer hikers…

My friend Tom managed to self-publish his book for free. I, unfortunately, did not. In this article, I’ll reveal how he did it as well as how much I spent to arrive at the same destination – published author…

Before I retired, I was a great time manager. I’d transition to a new activity at 9:16AM then to another one at 10:12AM and so on throughout the day. Bells would ring, bracketing precise pockets of time, neatly managed. Such was working life in a public school…

I’ve always loved dogs, but allergies in the household kept me from having one. After a painful divorce 18 years ago, I decided to buy a little non-shedding poodle/terrier. On the way home from the pet store I tried out a raft of names…

I have a deeply rooted love affair with fall. Even as a little girl, I sensed something magical about the season. Jumping into raked piles of leaves in our yard was a favorite activity. On Halloween, my best friend and I trick-or-treated door to door…

As a psychotherapist and podcaster, I thought I had pretty much mastered the art of conversation. Sure, I knew I had a couple of bad habits, like interrupting and repeating myself, and I’ve had clients get confused at my…
