Dear Inner Critic: Here are 5 things I want to tell you
My Inner Critic is a mean girl. And to be honest, I don’t much like her. She’s a glass half empty kind of gal. She’s overly blunt, kind of whiny, and has zero bedside manner. She’s the kind of girl who will pull the chair out from under you if you’re not paying attention. And […]

Please stop making excuses and do these 3 things
I’m a total geek when it comes to thinking about systems and streamlining.

Otherwise, you waste someone else’s time instead of […]
