30 Confidence Vitamins to Pump You Up by Alexandra Franzen

Sometimes, it feels like the entire world is designed to make us feel terrible about ourselves.

Not fit enough, not rich enough, not smart enough, not quick enough, not fresh, new, hot or “original” enough.

What this blog is about (and my business) after more than 10 years

I've been in business for over 10 years. Some years I've felt like a pro. Other years I've felt like an impostor.

Some years I have made tons of money (multiple six figures), other years what felt like hardly any (under $30k). Some years I've outspent my earnings and other years I've saved. Some years I've been proud of my accomplishments and at other times I've wondered if I have any talent whatsoever for what I'm trying to do.

The Pink Room- renovation inspiration

Right before Charlotte was born, we bought and moved into our house upstate near Clinton Corners and Millbrook. It's a sweet little house and a landmark according to the local Clinton Historical Society.

Desires, Purpose and Achieving Goals

In the past week I've done some meditations and journaling to get to the heart of my heart's desires.

What do I really want?

What do I desire that I'm barely aware of?

Which of my desires are not really my true desires?

How can I know?

Floral Down Coats: pretty-ing up a classic winter style

Coats are my thing. I have four different leopard print coats alone (one rain jacket, one topper, one cropped and one full length double breasted number) and a special closet (in closet-challenged NYC) just to hold them.

Creative Woundings, Vulnerability, Bravery and Fleetwood Mac

When I was a kid, I loved music. My mom taught me the basics of piano and then bought piano books so that I could plunk along on my own. It was fun, low key and I loved it- especially singing along.

Gwenyth Paltrow thinks you need to GET IT TOGETHER by the time you're 40.

This past week was Yom Kippur- the Jewish day of atonement. I'm not Jewish and I know that cultural appropriation is the new favorite critique to levy at folks, but I think it's a great concept regardless of your religious tradition.*

The solution to systemic violence starts at home

It feels like we’re surrounded by violence. And the violence we’ve been experiencing (mostly, I hope, as bystanders) in our nation and world is tragic.

Those who commit these violent acts are, in most cases, individuals. Solitary men. (Sorry, dudes, but not so many chicks are involved in mass shootings and terrorist acts.) Men who make a series of decisions that lead them to end the lives of others.

Brilliant Marketing from a...florist!?

Yes. Here's what you can learn from Rose Red and Lavender, a Brooklyn-based floral design shop.

Have personality!

So many people (especially B2B companies) think they have to be boring and dry and devoid of a sense of humor or personality in order to "do marketing."

Even Kanye feels Not Good Enough

Over the weekend Kanye West revealed to the world via twitter that he is $53 million in debt.*

He also revealed that he most likely is mentally ill. I don’t want to armchair psychoanalyze him but I’d say he’s got a heavy dose of clinical narcissism going on.

And because he’s clearly a creature in pain, I don’t want to make fun of him. Instead, we’ll let Stephen Colbert do that.

Notes on Charlotte (and being pregnant in general)

I wasn't one of those women who longed for children, or marriage for that matter.*

So when we realized in early January of 2014 that I was pregnant (and had been for 4-6 weeks!) I felt lucky.

New videos! Marketing and more...

Videos!!!

How I became a coach

**A little disclaimer.**

I am proud to say that our family has had it share of disagreements, legitimate hurts, and strained relationships and that for the most part, we remain committed to our family. Even cooler, I know that people have the capacity to change, even later in life, because I have witnessed it.
