If you’re human and breathing, you’ve likely experienced moments of sadness, anger, or anxiety—what many call stress. You might even feel physical pain that defies a clear medical cause. When these situations arise, asking yourself a few key questions can help you refocus your energy and reclaim your mental freedom — transforming pain into growth. […]
When I created the Mental Freedom® Experience (MFX), I initially envisioned guiding individuals on their journey to personal growth. Over the past four years, however, I’ve had the privilege of working with couples, helping them deepen their connection, heal past wounds, and experience true mental freedom—together. The results have been truly transformative. The MFX comprises […]
While working on my goal setting for 2025, I remembered something I learned from a Choice Theory colleague, Barnes Boffey, that he called “Have – Do – Be.” Whenever a client talks about something they desire, it helps to gain clarity by asking the following questions: If people can’t answer those questions, it’s a good […]
Did you know October 19 was “Evaluate Your Life Day”? It’s a time for self-reflection on your past experiences, achievements, and challenges, and to assess where you stand. But how exactly do you evaluate your life? Which experiences should you reflect on? Which achievements should matter? What challenges should you focus on? Self-evaluation is a […]
If you knew you would be in the fight of your life tomorrow, it would be too late to begin your physical fitness conditioning today.

August 22 is designated Be an Angel Day to remind people that no matter what is happening in their lives, they can be angels on earth by demonstrating genuine kindness, compassion, and respect. I hear about how we need to “provide for our own” before helping others, but who do you consider to be “your […]
July 30 is the International Day of Friendship, while July is Social Wellness Month. These two observances naturally complement each other. Social wellness is about strengthening relationships with supportive, encouraging people and reducing time with those who criticize and drain you. Practicing Mental Freedom can prevent other people from impacting your moods negatively, but it […]
I love that there is a holiday in July dedicated to letting go of regrets. The third Saturday in July is designated, Toss Away Your “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day. Regretting changes nothing and perpetuates painful emotions like guilt, sadness, anxiety, and anger. Holding onto regrets about the past makes it difficult to enjoy […]
It’s time to write another blog, and I feel a little like that old commercial, “It’s time to make the donuts!” The commitment to put out a blog every other week may not sound like much to the average reader, but I’m telling you, sometimes I just have nothing to say on command. Today is […]
