By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”

Whimsy
“True whimsy cannot be purchased or curated. It is free! It cannot come from someone else or be manufactured. Real, true, pure whimsy comes from your heart and bubbles out!” Jenna O’Brien
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop. That’s a profound question. We so often do things from our false self and ego— but what does loveContinue reading “The Right Question”
How to be Remembered
“I believe, wholeheartedly, that when it comes to caring for people, “chill” won’t cut it. In fact, I think I reject nonchalance in nearly every aspect of my life. Care about things! Big things! Be incredibly curious and deeply interested! Solve real problems! Read, drink, eat, go, do—with muchness! At the end of my life,Continue reading “How to be Remembered”
The One Who Learns the Most
By: Gabriela Yareliz Back-to-school season is upon us. Fall is in the air early. (Usually, NYC is at a low simmer during this time of the year). The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drainedContinue reading “The One Who Learns the Most”

“Because if a man selling tomatoes at a market can look me in the eye, show me his goosebumps, and say, “I adore my life” – then maybe that’s what we should all be striving for. Not perfection, not recognition, not more. Just a life that gives us goosebumps.” Chloé Crane-Leroux
Narrowed
I heard this quote recently that is a profound expression of truth: “Love eliminates options.” Andy Figueroa People make choices. Choosing is the most sacred thing we do. Love rules our choices, if we allow it to. And when it does, it eliminates options. I heard someone discussing this phrase in coaching. “How have youContinue reading “Narrowed”
Defining Leadership
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
Father
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alex Ikonn asked Asma Khan how she became a confident and secure woman filled with so much love; how she grew to have self-love. Her answer moved me. She said, “I believed my father.” No matter who your father is/was, what I find comforting is we have a Heavenly Father who hasContinue reading “Father”
“I Deserve This”
“I swore to God, make me that person. Make me so powerful that when a woman in her forties walks into a room, and they tell her, ‘Stay in your lane,’ she says my name. Even the ocean will know you arrived. That’s how you die. You die in that way; that the legacy thatContinue reading ““I Deserve This””
