The Blog For Real-Life Heroines

Are you on the yellow brick road? Are you getting a Call…no, not that kind! I’m talking about the kind that upends your life - that shakes you up and ultimately, changes you — the kind that evolves you more into your “heroine-self”.

Receiving The Call

Calls are definitely hard to put a fin...

Just who do you know yourself to be?

Do you know who you are…who you really are?

More than ever before women are encouraged to step up, lean in, speak up. We know it’s vital that the feminine voice is heard – and we are using our voices more and more. But, let’s face it, we still need help...

Here we go again! Are you hearing it as much as I am – this complaint, this worry about Covid, the Delta variant, making us change our plans…yet, again?

We like closure, we humans. We like things to be over – and this one just isn’t getting over, is it? We are in transition… we have been here for...

The Heroine (that’s you) is in her comfort zone or what we call Ordinary Life, in Journey terms – and she hears a Call to do something – often it’s a call to change - something. She answers it (after God only knows how long she debates if she will or if she won’t) and that means…GROWTH, ahead! Who...

I’m not done talking about Threshold Guardians because they so very often mess us up. We mistake them for the truth and we listen to them and then we don’t follow our dreams. I’ve spent years talking with women about what their Threshold Guardian voices say and isn’t it so interesting that they sa...

I talk a lot in my coaching practice about The Critic or as we call it in the Heroine’s Journey, the Threshold Guardians. They are the voices in your head that stop you from doing things; from following your dream; from meeting your big goals. You want to step over a new threshold; make a change; ...

“There are two kinds of people…One kind, you can tell just by looking at them at what point they congealed into their final selves. It might be a very nice self, but you know you can expect no more surprises from it. Whereas, the other kind keeps moving, changing. With these people, you can never ...

“As callings do, this time, it spoke to me again....a little louder.” – Kim Kalicky

Once my students get to Module 3 in my course, Your Epic Journey of Transformation, I ask them to write about one of their Heroine’s Journeys. I actually tell people they can bullet it…they don’t have to be a “...

“…you’ve got to have a clue. You’ve got to have a road map of some kind, and these are all around us.” – Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers, The Power of Myth

What was one of your first board games to play? I’ll bet it was Candyland. I loved that map. Maybe it’s because of the great candy pictur...

“In-tuition literally means being taught from within.” - J. Allen Boone, The Language of Silence

Can you believe that you’re a Heroine – on your very own epic Heroine’s Journey? 

No, well, it’s OK.  I couldn’t either. 

“Who me?” I’d scoff. “ I don’t stand out in any way. I haven’t disc...
