But are you fulfilled?
You have collectively aimed into the stratosphere to be the most creative and dynamic leaders, the best parents with all the answers, daily life-savers to your children, the most understanding and loving partners, the best and most reliable friends….
It’s no wonder sometimes you feel like you could break!

Current brain science shows that a lack of consistent emotional nurturance in infancy and childhood, when the brain is still forming, can result in difficulties with self-regulation, causing us to seek comfort and nurturing outside ourselves, often substances. Food. Alcohol. Narcotics. Tobacco. Gamboling…
Here’s the good news…
History is not our destiny and the brain CAN be re-wired for optimal emotional health. Our addictive bad habits are usually related to something emotional and therefore, we can learn to self-nurture instead of turning to outside substances.

Not only do women with money transform their own lives, but also the lives of their children, their families, and their communities. More women are building their own businesses and reaching top corporate levels than ever before… but far fewer than men are earning six and seven figures.

An estimated 40 million Americans, about 18 percent of the population over the age of 18, struggle with anxiety, including more than half of all American college students.
So that should make you feel better.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older, or 18.1 percent of the population every year.

If you haven’t noticed, there is an aversion to the way old types of systems worked in regards to top-down management hierarchies. Men and women of diverse educational and economic background can access information and resources that were unavailable just a decade ago. Anyone with a great idea can cultivate and lead.
Command-and-Control forms of leadership are on their way to becoming obsolete…
…but learning to SHARE power in an equal and balanced way has become a great challenge.

From the emotional shock of a parent or peer’s careless words in childhood to intense physical injuries or life-threatening emergencies and assaults….no one’s body is immune to the effects of traumatic events. Not only do these events take a toll on our psyches, in the book Reclaiming Your Body: Healing from Trauma and Awakening to Your Body’s Wisdom (New World Library, June 14, 2017), author Suzanne Scurlock-Durana explains how they they cut us off from the wisdom of our bodies as well.

Every single year we say the same thing: “THIS is going to be my year. I can FEEL it!” And then we look back and categorize them into good years vs. the bad years depending on if things went our way.

Join the Revolution!The global trend that was started by Mom
Fed up with a world that demands that women earn half of their family's household income, but refuses to pay them equally and penalizes them for having children... it's no wonder that Moms have started their own businesses in record numbers.
Congratulations. We've rewritten the cultural American landscape.
Whether you realize it or not, you have contributed to the movement that changed work and family life in revolutionary ways. While corporations were scratching their heads, 30 million women were creating new wealth and contributing to a surge of global employment opportunities for the...2016-05-1059 minAlly LopretePositive Thinking... Is it all just a bunch of hooey?My friend, David Essel, doesn't believe in the power of positive thinking...
WHAT?! Why would I entertain such a preposterous idea???
Because I love David.
--AND--because he's always been an amazing guest in the past, I will always welcome him on our show.
BUT
I gotta admit, I am intrigued by what the title of his new book suggests. I am skeptical because positive thinking has always been my biggest intention--- with EVERYTHING. Have I had it wrong all along? With an open mind today, we are going to find out.

Parenting with ease... sounds like a fantasy doesn't it? The truth is--- parenting is NOT so different than entrepreneurship. Becoming the boss of your own business and adopting leadership qualities can and will improve upon your parenting style.
Be Present in All Areas of Your Life!
How you show up as an entrepreneur lays the groundwork for how you show up as a parent. By following your dreams and ambitions, you are giving your kids permission to do the same.

Last week I was offered my very first book publishing contract. For years others tried to convince me to write a book, but I was never quite in the mood. My publicist, television and radio partners, managers and colleagues in my industry all had the same tough love lecture for me.
" You need a book. It will make a big difference in helping you reach personal and professional goals."

I've been teaching solopreneurs how to promote and publicize themselves since before the invention of the Internet. A lot has changed. While the digital resources available to us now far exceed what we could do before the digital age, one thing that has not changed is the mental struggle people have to self-promote.

I admit that it was always a bit irritating to hear an arrogant (and intolerant) business guru insinuate that we all have a CHOICE in how we manage our time.
If you are a work-at-home mom, you know that these apparent rules of time do not apply to YOU. If you are a mom with YOUNG children, you may feel like you are living in an alternate universe where 10 hours back on earth translates into a mere 30 minutes on Planet Mom.
