The Blog For Real-Life Heroines

There’s a lot of work that goes into growth, evolution, and transformation - the gifts we get from taking the Heroine’s Journey. The journey is not a “walk in the park.” We have to enter the Abyss every now and then.

Not on every journey but when “stuff” is ready to come up, then the Heroine g...

Here it is, our first offering of just the right thing for those real-life heroines, young and old, in your lives. When you want to know about what makes a Real-Life Heroine happy, it works to ask them – so I did.

Here are the ideas my team and I put together and some from the women i...

Dear Readers,

I should have known this was coming. Give in to one and then there’s another knocking at your door. Way back in the beginning of August, I let the Threshold Guardians have their say.

Seriously, it’s almost impossible not to let them as they’re always doing their infe...

This is Part II, a continuation to my last blog entry in which I explained how I left my consulting company to go out on my own (again). Here's why I became a life coach, and how I pursued my path as an organizational development consultant.

How My Obsession With The Heroine's Journey Began

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 “...
