By Lorna Martinez Magill Lately I’ve been reflecting on the life transitions I have experienced over the last couple of years. Our youngest son graduated from college and moved to another city, I resigned from my position as a CFO of a non-profit and my husband experienced some significant health challenges.

by Marianne Clyde Disruption is how we change the world. Doing what others can’t or won’t do. Disruption is not as difficult or offensive and you might think. It’s pretty much just following your truth, unapologetically. Why do we, as women, feel like we need to apologize for who we are, or what we like, or how we think? We’ve woven a tangled web of self-deceit over the years. And man, that has...
By Lorna Martinez Magill Have you ever had someone ask you a question that made you pause because it hit you so much to the core that it made your eyes well up with tears?

Why does everyone else seem to have a fascinating life and mine is so boring? Whenever I find myself asking these kind of questions, the answer comes back to me loud and clear. Who is going to fix it? What do you...

By Marianne Clyde You know how you can hang around certain people and you just feel like, "Wow! I'll have what SHE'S having!" (Just like "When Harry Met Sally.) There are other people you can be with and you feel like, "Yawn." or "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same old, same old..." Then with other you feel edgy, and want o scream, "Shut up! Stop talking! No one cares!"
