    Do You Need to Learn to Be Selfish?

    A month ago, I met a passionate woman putting together a seminar for healers. She asked if I would give a brief talk on self-compassion. A month ago, I would have said yes. But when I received the email with an update of the event’s information, my heart sank. My weekly workload had increased over […]

    As spiritual as you try to be, unless you understand self-forgiveness, you’ll never allow your true worth. But here’s how to start.

    Finding Your Purpose; Owning Your Gifts

      I’d often thought, why couldn’t I have been satisfied with being a third-grade teacher? Why did I have to go upsetting the apple cart and venture down this road of entrepreneurship as a coach and healer? Life would have been a lot easier had I just stayed in Pennsylvania. But would it? When I […]

    Breaking the Pattern of “Selfish” Guilt

    Two of my clients this week experienced the same struggle. That dreadful feeling when you feel depleted or longing to do something for yourself and someone you care about calls or texts with, “Do you have time to talk?” What you really want to say is, “No. I just don’t.” But what you say instead […]

    How To Hold Sadness as Part of Your Awakening

        In the land of Facebook where, for the most part, everything is seen as “light, happy, and all is well in the world”, admitting any kind of sadness or depression feels like failure. So instead, we mask it, deny it, push it away, or pull ourselves up from our bootstraps, and move on. […]

    Freeing Yourself From Guilt and Resentment

    I wish I could say I always took the high road, but I’d be lying. When someone says something that I feel is an attack, or tries to make me feel less than, my impulse is to educate them (loudly) about all the ways they’re screwing up. Needless to say, they don’t hear me, and […]

    Responsibility Versus OVER-Responsibility in Relationships

    I knew this was a bad idea, I thought, as my boyfriend and I sauntered up to the table where a group of my friends held a birthday party in the restaurant of the very hotel in which we were staying. “Hi everyone!” I said. “Surprise!” “What are you doing here?” the host asked. “I […]

    The One Risk that Will Lead to Peace of Mind

    Try as I might to stop the list from whirling in my brain, I couldn’t. There was too much to do tomorrow and too little time to do it.  At 3am, I tossed and turned, trying, instead, to “do” things in my mind for the next day that I couldn’t physically do in the moment. […]

    Taking the “Guilt” Out of Guilty Pleasures

    So what’s your guilty pleasure? Is it a particular food? A television program? Or maybe it’s shopping online. Whatever it is, it’s definitely something you feel a teen tiny bit ashamed of admitting – that’s why we call it a “guilty pleasure”. Guilty pleasures are nothing more than places we find pleasure in our lives […]

    The 80/20 Principle in Relationships

    • by Dawn Petalino
    • February 12, 2017
    • Leave a comment

    The 80/20 principle is something many of us have heard before. We spend 80% of our time and energy on the areas, habits, and actions that bring the greatest results, and 20% on the rest. The premise is that 80% spent on those things that give the greatest punch, also provide the greatest gains. Now, […]
