Midlife isn’t a dead end — it’s an invitation. This post explores how rebuilding your life and career after 40 can lead to deeper purpose, authentic success, and a second act that finally feels like you.

Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much — sometimes it’s from doing too little of what matters. In this post, we explore why passion becomes essential after 40, and how reconnecting with your core values can turn exhaustion into clarity.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're running on fumes? A growth mindset might be the missing ingredient in your self-care strategy. This post unpacks how rewiring your brain — not just your calendar — can help you recover from burnout and reconnect with what truly matters.

We’ve all heard the same tired tropes: employees these days are unpredictable, hopping in and out of jobs like rabbits, wanting top-tier salaries and fancy titles without much experience. Younger folks drop “boomer” like a spicy insult, while older workers grumble about “soft skills” disappearing. And the corporate grind? Well, it’s alive and thriving.

Today, I am firmly committed to never working in a toxic environment again. I work in my zone of genius. That genius is simply being fascinated by the resilience in humans and encouraging them. The validation I get from being who I truly am can not be overstated. Exiting a dysfunctional team and the lessons learned have been a gift worth more than gold, diamonds, or rubies.

Burnout and anxiety often stem from living a life that isn't aligned with your core values and life purpose. When your daily actions and career choices are out of sync with what truly matters to you, it's like sailing against the wind. No wonder you're exhausted! As a coach specializing in burnout recovery, I've seen firsthand how reconnecting with your core values can transform your life.

The bottom line is that burnout results from misaligned priorities and insecurity. People rationalize these self-defeating behaviors, leading to a predictable cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion. You've got a calm demeanor at work, but you freak out on your kids for doing stuff that all kids do. You blame your partner or accuse them of being unsupportive rather than dealing with your chronically low self-esteem. You feel like you need the margarita now rather than casually enjoying one. Once you're in the burnout cycle, you may lash out, feel guilty, and pout.

I know we all have imposter syndrome, anxiety, and fears, but I'm calling BS on walking around with a head full of child-like worries and encouraging you to choose a new story.

This new modern love arrangement requires that both men and women evolve. Some men are struggling to fulfill roles, take on tasks and communicate in ways our fathers and grandfathers didn’t demonstrate.

Kids come out of the box curious and are much more intelligent than we think they are. As I cruise around in my minivan with a dead sparkplug and a check engine light that won't go away this afternoon, I look for the meaning in the insanity of our suburban life.

While anxiety seems to be the plague of the times, and "future tripping" is a household term, I think it's important to note that codependency, struggling to focus, and the urge to be hyperproductive aren't moral failings.

If you’re a busy parent with a career, you don't have time for needless fights with your partner. But let's face it; arguments are bound to happen in any relationship. Luckily, by learning how to manage your finances, communicate effectively, and divvy up household tasks, you can avoid these four common fights and enjoy a stronger, more passionate relationship with your significant other.

On Memorial Day weekend 2009, my wife and I decided on standard vows and agreed that the DJ would fade into "All you need is love" when they pronounced us husband and wife.

In this live stream, I taught about self-sabotage and how it relates to shame. I give a few tips on building self-awareness and forming healthier habits.

My dad, like myself, was probably overwhelmed at the time, but oddly enough, the squash year is the one I will never forget. That was his masterpiece.

Mindfulness helps us have compassion for that frantic version of ourselves that still feels it needs to prove its worth or to earn love through achievement and sacrifice. But here, in the glistening presence of now, we have inherent and infinite worth despite worldly achievement.

As you approach the new season, take time to witness what works and consider what your soul craves. Don’t be afraid to course correct and walk away from strategies that aren't working.
