Check out our new book!
Here's what people are saying ... 

"I can't count how many times we've said, 'I wish I knew what Charlie was thinking' or 'I wish he could tell me what he wants' This book is so cool, because we can actually find out, even before he talks. I'm so excited to share this with the next generation in my friends and family...and so eager to find out what Charlie is thinking! This book is so well written, easy to follow, and I love the videos. It's also perfect for multilingual families!"

"A great book - really motivates me to keep signing with my son! Easy to read and engaging. I like all of the personal anecdotes sprinkled throughout the book."

Dream Weavers Workshop

A Mini-Retreat for Moms

Are you feeling a little lost? Wondering how to get to the life you’ve imagined, whether it’s an ideal career/calling, a closer and happier relationship, or greater acceptance for the life you have?

Your essential self knows the answers but it’s hard to hear her voice over the clamor of your outer social self. Understanding the wisdom contained in your dreams is one way to hear your essential self’s messages. But how do you interpret what she’s trying to say?

Come to October’s mini-retreat to learn how to analyze your dreams using a method developed by Carl Jung. You’ll create your own dream journal using a simple book binding technique so you can continue to access the wisdom of your essential self.

Figure out What's Next

(Even if you don't know what that is)
Get unstuck in a four-hour future-mapping mini-retreat with me.

We'll work together to discover your dreams and develop a step-by-step plan for how you'll create what you desire. We'll work together on how to deal with obstacles in your way – and you'll get three follow-up coaching sessions to make sure you stay on track.

Plus, during your private retreat, you'll make a vision board so you'll have an inspirational map that will remind you of where you're headed.

I'm feeling messy and pulled in too many directions and, frankly, it doesn’t feel good. I've been thinking that I can't bring the true me to the table because, well, I'm a coach. I'm supposed to have it all together. A client recently confessed that she was surprised to learn that I had stress. I gave her a funny look and she admitted that she realizes that I must have stress – I’m self-employed with a husband who's also self-employed, I have kids, I'm human – but whenever she sees me, I'm calm, cool, and collected.

I guess the stress doesn't show through my well developed, shined-to-a-smooth-finish, sparkly social self.  

Our two sides
We all have two sides to ourselves: the social self, which is the shiny side that we want most of the world to see; and our essential self, the messier, but truer part of ourselves...
