How do you get paid for spiritual, creative, emotional gifts?
Here’s the full question that arrived in my inbox:
“I came from a background that doesn’t value the gifts that I have developed. How can I learn to value my spiritual, creative and emotional gifts enough to feel that they are worth being paid for? If I don’t value them and see them as marketable, who will?”
Great question!
Here’s what I say a thousand times to clients: how you vote on your value from one hour to the next is not reliable or even useful.
"I met a relationship coach who is making $20,000 per month." Jenni said triumphantly.
"Are you sure?" I said, head cocked to one side and eyebrow raised.
"Well, that's what she said." she replied, her spirit a little wilted.
"How are YOU doing with your online business?" I wondered.
"Not very well. I have tried the best I can. I send out great emails and have wonderful classes but only 10 to 20 people sign up. I can't keep myself afloat with so few students!"
Money: It's a partnership we don't talk about much, and just like any relationship, it can feel loving and empowering or yucky and frustrating. What is your relationship to money?

Your success rate is a question of control, reinforcement and good old-fashioned will power.
Happy New Year! The holidays are over and we are back to work. I came to my desk this morning to find some delicious candy surprises in a little goodie bag. While I was settling in for the day and breaking into one of the bags of M&Ms, I realized that I have already officially broken both of my New Year's resolutions (cutting back on the sweets and eating at my desk).
It's tough trying to surprise my kids with Christmas gifts. It's even harder to surprise my husband.
The person who's the hardest for me to surprise isn't our kids, it's the studly 34-year-old who shares my bedroom. It isn’t because he snoops, though. He’s pretty cooperative like that. We’re just such a team and make a habit of being so transparent with each other, that any deviation creates a disturbance in the force.
How to steer clear of ten common holiday-related fights.
Between selecting the perfect gift, booking expensive flights and dealing with the in-laws, the holidays are stressful, and, unfortunately, the closest target for those frustrations is often one's partner. Here are ten common holiday fights couples have during the holidays and how to avoid them.
If these emails and horror stories are any indication, bankers and "money guys" are the new psychos.
I've been on a few dates with guys who work in "finance" — as in, they can't explain to me in 10 words or less what it is exactly that they do with all those numbers and dollar signs all day long. I'm always initially attracted to them because of the way they can rock a suit, a la Barney Stinson, and how they exude so much confidence and purpose in what they do. But as soon as that tie is loosened and that second Jack-and-Coke is dry, their horns come out.
Black Men are in shortage, because many are invisible to American Black Women.
