You, like everyone else, hate to be disliked. But there are times when, suddenly, you wonder how this could possibly happen when all you’ve ever been is nice to Karen. Am I right?

This is what you could call the “dislikability conundrum.”

You do everything right, and still, some people are just not going to like you. You are going to encounter this no matter what throughout your life, so what should you do? Read more.

It’s that time of year again. That’s right. The time of year when it seems like you should have everything in place: your personal vision board, your business plan, and your New Year’s resolutions. Here’s your simple 30-day plan to get yourself in gear.

Jill Rose is an experienced life coach and owner of Jill Rose Coaching. She works with women to help them reclaim their joy. And Jill truly is a joy to know. Additionally, “life coach” really doesn’t fully express what I feel makes Jill such an incredible woman leader, business owner, and mother. But instead of me blabbering on, let’s get to the interview!

Are you ready? Here are the 3 big lessons I’ve learned about how to re-focus mid-year and actually overcome the professional slump you might find yourself in to achieve those big goals before the end of the year.

This may be news to you, but I’m guessing it’s not. Being overwhelmed happens. And maybe you have your own tactics for dealing with those moments when you feel overwhelmed to help you move through and beyond them. But if not, here are four helpful ways I’ve learned to decrease my moments of complete burnout and feelings of overwhelm and help me move forward in a healthy and positive way.

Instead of new year’s resolutions, why not release these five things in the new year?

As women and men supporting women, we need to normalize the everyday discussions about all aspects of womanhood. As a middle-aged woman, a mother, a business owner, and a wife, I am yearning to foster open communication with my children, friends, and family about womens’ existence.

Instead of resolutions, I believe that you need a plan. And not just any plan, not some loosey-goosey list of high faluting things you’ll never accomplish, or a gushy statement of acceptance that is actually just stunting your growth. I mean a real personal strategic plan that looks at your accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses, and realistic goals for the new year. Will you accomplish all of your pursuits in one year? Likely not, and that’s OKAY! A well-thought-out personal strategic plan isn’t about pressure or dooming yourself for failure; it gives you an incremental path from point A, where you are, to point B, where you want to be. And at the end of this year, if you sit down and create this personal roadmap again for your life, I will bet you that you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come!

The biggest lesson that motherhood has taught me is to give more grace. I have learned to let go of this idea that I’m going to be a perfect mother. I’m going to make mistakes. I’m going to fail. Really great things happen when I can forgive myself for that, or ask for my kids’ forgiveness when I need to. I actually get the opportunity to show my kids how to fail and make mistakes and learn from them. Read the full story.

What first drew me to the Caden sisters. Sisterpeneurs and founders of Belly Bandit and Proof created two mission-based companies. Their mission: to design garments and underwear for women tired of feeling insecure after giving birth, wanting to be confident in the face of unexpected leaks, and needing to feel good about their bodies. Both companies were the product (no pun intended) of real-life challenges!

2020 was a year of chaotic change, and 2021 will be the year of intentional transition. Things will continue changing for us on a local, national, and global scale, and it's up to all of us to be open and ready for those transitions. I am taking that mentality to heart both personally and professionally, which I believe deeply will be the key to success for this coming year and years to come.

I'm a 39-year-old woman. I'm flawed. I don't love everyone and everything, and not everyone loves me. I am getting wrinkles, and I refuse to give up wine -- even though it might make me skinnier.
