"Fairy tales can come true, they can happen to you. If you're young at heart..."Countless little girls were raised on pastel-colored stories where the white knight would save the beautiful, fragile damsel in distress. It really was such an easy sell. The thought that one invincible person, muscled and handsome, would take us into their arms and make everything so dreamy. Who wouldn't buy into that? All it takes is a quivering smile, hair that glistened in the moonlight and a rosy red pout.As we got older, we realized, sometimes the hard way, that fairy tales are indeed fantasy. Any worthy man wouldn't look twice at a woman who pouts while living off the kindness of strangers. Talk about an anchor. In "real life" those needy damsels would usually attract a partner who is hell-bent on fixing or controlling them.After …

You see, the human mind is naturally built not to work in your favor; whenever you set yourself on the right path, your mind will come up with the best excuse to talk you out of it. We will cover this natural human tendency in a future post. …

Publishing is a powerful tool that can help women coaches increase their visibility and establish themselves as leaders in their industry.

Trust holds relationships together, but sometimes the bonds unravel. That can happen after any breach in trust; a romantic partner having an affair, a business partner stealing the company funds, your siblings turning their back on you in your darkest hours…you get the idea.

Even if you avoid what you’d consider a major betrayal, you’re still likely to run into a coworker who talks behind your back, a friend who shares your secret, or a colleague who breaks a promise.

Trust can be rebuilt, but it takes work. Consider these strategies for what to do when you let others down or feel like you’ve been deceived.
