I Thought I Changed Careers. Turns Out I Didn’t. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One comment from a former client made me realize the work I’ve been doing for 17 years may have always been about the same thing.Last week, after I wrote about where I am in my life and work right now, a former client left a comment thanking me again for helping her meet her husband. Obviously, that made me smile. There is something pretty amazing about watching women I worked with years ago living inside the lives they were trying so hard to create when we first met.But her comment also made me

Why thinking harder won’t tell you what you want next.I talk to so many women who know something in their life needs to change, but they can’t tell me exactly what they want instead.
