We don't play small in this arena. It’s time to work.
The first half of the new year is an exciting and energising time, but it can also be overwhelming and exhausting. With endless to-do lists, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and end up feeling overwhelmed and burnt out.
I spoke to one of my clients recently and helped her...
2022 was a weird year on Social Media. I, like many entrepreneurs, view my social media as a way to connect with my audience, nurture them with free content and, of course, invite them to purchase my offers.
Through my Instagram stories, my friends and clients get a behind-the-scenes view...
Dear CEOs,
As I write this, I can notice the chill in the air. The leaves have slowly but surely started changing colours, and I feel a bit of disbelief that we're already in the last quarter of the year. Halloween and pumpkin spice lattes signal that Christmas music will be in the air...
I recently had a very interesting experience that I would like to share with you in the hopes that you might experience the same "a-ha" moment it provided me.
Every entrepreneur I know, including myself, starts our businesses with a big WHY. We hold this sacred vision of ourselves, what our...
It was early in 2006, and I took the train from central Modena back to my hotel after a day of solo sightseeing.
It gets dark early in Italy during winter, and although it was only 5:30 pm, it felt and looked like 9 pm. I entered an empty carriage except for two women sitting together (I assumed...

You might be wondering what trauma has to do with the success of your business, and the short answer is A LOT. You are the constant in your business, so if your mind is trying to manage, make sense of or heal unresolved trauma- you're carrying that with you in every single...

Dear Janine,
I feel so low. Just when I thought things were finally getting back to normal after the pandemic lockdowns, Russia invaded the Ukraine.
My parents are from the Ukraine, and watching this unfold on the news has us all in tears for days. My mother hasn't gotten...

Dear Janine,
I guess I want some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing. I recently broke off my engagement, and it feels like everyone hates me now. My mother refuses to speak to me and, according to my brother, has been crying for days.
My ex-fiancé's family...

I want to address something today that several of you seem to be wrestling with lately - this feeling of being "stuck".
I see this phrase thrown around almost daily, especially online, where women ask strangers on internet forums or Facebook groups for advice to help them get...

Dear Janine,
I decided to follow my heart and quit my office job earlier this year to start my own business.
It started quite well, and even though I didn't make a profit in the first three months, I felt good as I did have some savings to cover my expenses.
Now I'm...

Hi Janine,
I recently lost both my parents, so I'm experiencing a lot of mixed feelings with the holidays approaching. I feel really sad that this will be our first Christmas without them and want to know if I should rather skip our family traditions, as I'm afraid this might...

Dear Janine,
After experiencing two awful relationships, I finally feel that I've found my soul mate. The only problem is that I live in constant fear that he's going to leave me. This anxiety makes me do things that I feel really embarrassed about, like secretly checking his...

Dear Janine,
I feel awful even writing this, but I just feel like I've had it with my mother. We've always had a very difficult relationship and I was hoping this would improve now that I'm an independent adult, but it feels like it's just getting worse. Every conversation...

Hi Janine,
I'm ashamed to say that I was the ‘other woman’. I had a year-long affair with a married man. It wasn't just a few texts and meeting up once a month. It was a proper relationship; we spoke on the phone twice a day on his commute to and from work, we met up...

Dear Janine,
Please help me settle a debate I'm having with my girlfriends. Now that everything is slowly but surely opening up again and we can finally start going on dates, the question is: Should we split the dinner bill?
Cheers,
Mandy.
Dear Mandy,
Excellent question...

Dear Janine,
I have been in some very negative relationships and would like to ask you what is the difference between setting a healthy boundary and an ultimatum that's toxic? I think knowing the difference will help me notice red flags sooner.
Kind regards
Shannon.
