Issue 136. October 3, 2025 ✨ Higher Power Coaching & Consulting ✨ One Day at a Time: Boundaries in the Present Moment “One day at a time” is one of those phrases that sounds simple—almost too simple. I knew the words. I even knew them strung together. But I didn’t understand them until I got…

Issue 135. September 26, 2025 ✨ Higher Power Coaching & Consulting ✨ Stop Comparing Yourself at Work One of the fastest ways to drain your energy at work is to compare yourself to your coworkers. When you compare, there are usually only two outcomes: Either way, you lose. And often, it breeds jealousy, envy, or…

Issue 134. September 19, 2025 ✨ Higher Power Coaching & Consulting ✨ We’ve all been told the same story: if you want to get ahead, you need more degrees, more experience, more credentials. But my own career tells a very different story. I’ve landed multiple roles where, on paper, I was “the least qualified.” How…

Issue 133. September 12, 2025 ✨ Higher Power Coaching & Consulting ✨ One of the biggest paradigm shifts of my recovery—and my life—was realizing how much I lived in a victim mentality. For years, I didn’t see it in myself. I could spot it in others instantly (and rush in to rescue them), but I…

But even if you’re not in recovery, this concept can be life-changing. It is about getting to the place where you’re truly willing to do…

Issue 128.
