Beast of Many Burdens A post about the role of SHAME in everyday life.I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what to write for our blog post this week.  When I take a moment to sit and feel everything I am currently experiencing in my life, I end up with a blank. When I feel this way, it can be difficult for me to use my right brain.  Right brain, being another way of saying emotional and creative self.  It happens sometimes, without any real awareness on my part.  Maybe it comes when I feel overwhelmed unappreciated, stressed, or a litany of other negative feelings that bubble up on a daily basis.

A Woman with Many Hats A post about the many “hats” a modern woman is required to wear.I often find myself saying, “I can’t possibly do this anymore!”  I have sacrificed so much to get to this place in my life. A place where I have a job I love, a family I am proud of, and a business to call my own.  More often than not though, there are days when I get overwhelmed by the demands of life. As a working mother, wife, therapist, friend, and confidante, I often wonder how much longer I can possibly juggle all of these demanding roles.As women in today’s society, we are expected to be tough, but not too tough; hard working, but not so hard working that we can’t spend time with our families; sexy, but not so sexy that we flaunt ourselves; kind, but not pushovers; assertive, but not bitchy; available, but not needy; intelligent, but not snobby; down to earth, but care about your appearance and the list goes on and on. I have been envious of my husband re
