Three Reasons Women Change
Their Lives After Forty
“That’s when I grew some balls,” summed up best-selling author Paula Houseman’s explanation of how she had the courage to dramatically change her life after forty. Whether you’re in the midst of perimenopause or having your first baby, mid-life often stirs women to review, revise and sometimes … reinvent.

Lise’s love affair for baking started early but she didn’t pursue it as a career until after working as a graphic desig
Starting from Scratch: A Guide to Building your Brand
Why do companies spend millions to track us online and build profiles? They’re identifying the what, when and why we browse, click, and buy. There’s no coincidence that after you shop for a lamps online, you start seeing lamp, light bulb and home furnishings pop up ads on your social media.
