Do not let your children live in ignorance of your sacrifices…. “I will literally go hungry so that you can eat”  Fun Fact about pelican symbolism below*: I recently said this to my children because I had become tired of the teenage angst moments: you know, the sighing, eye rolling, foot-stomping, under the breath moments that typically come with teen years ( I wrote typically because teen angst may come earlier or not at all; it is not to be expected or feared, but rightly confronted if it does appear). I had just told my children to eject a movie they’d set their sights on watching. It was R-rated and totally inappropriate, so they were asked to eject it ( I didn’t buy the movie and it’s not my house, but it was my place to prevent them from watching it).   They huffed, puffed, whined “whyyyy??” and upon ejecting, I heard some mumbling under the breath. I was hurt. Why? Because I would do anything for my children: rescue them from a burning building, stand in f

Dear Feminine Woman, You must teach your family to be compassionate. Compassionless children, compassionless husbands, compassionless family members are the number one cause of stress, tension, anxiety and depression in women . This is not a scientific fact, but I would put money on it. A husband who lacks compassion lacks the ability to truly connect with his wife. Children who lack compassion cannot share, cannot empathize, and cannot relate to anyone’s needs but their own Family members who lack compassion will convince you to prioritize their desires over yours and their needs over your own often. You will be made to feel guilty (and possibly even alienated) if you do not. Compassion is defined as “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it”. Synonyms include kindness, mercy, humanity, kindheartedness, sensitivity, understanding, benevolence. I want a husband who alleviates my stress. I want a husband who notices my stress! And

6. Manners are essential . Don’t be a Moody Judy, not in text, talk or mannerisms. Like mama used to say, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all. Treat people like people, not as tools to be used and then disposed of after usage. Address your mom, sister, husband, hairstylist or coworkers with a  friendly greeting BEFORE making a request. A simple, “Good morning, how are you?” of “I hope your day is going good” goes a long way.  The people we interact with need to know that they matter to us. We cannot assume they know this all of the time. When out on a date and you are bored out of your mind? don’t be rude to the guy. Excuse yourself from the table, visit the restroom and give yourself a pep talk, sing a song, do a dance, say your gratitude list out loud, something! So that when you exit, you feel better.  Determine to be polite, cordial and kind for the remainder of the date; however, it is perfectly fine to excuse yourself early from a date to attend to an

The Transformational Femininity Webinar (my first webinar EVER!) was a HUGE success! It was an honor and a blessing to share with such radical women. I do hope you'll join us for the next one! Okay, now for our post.... 1. There is no real growth without a significant investment in your  personal development. Pay for that coaching session, attend that seminar, buy that book, listen to that podcast. There is so much information available out there for you to grow your business,grow your wealth, grow your perspective, grow your relationships...a radival feminine woman knows that she must take advantage of those tools to grow herself so she is not left behind in life with a bunch of regrets.  2. You are a brand, represent your brand well (from your mouth to your mood). "I am a Global Teacher and Wealthy wife who lives in Paris, France". This is what I tell myself every single day before I leave the house. So I dress like it, eat like it, exercise like it, teach li
