Quiet the inner judge. Remember who you are.
Your energy isn't gone because you're weak or lazy. The inner voices that say you're never doing enough quietly drain it. Mental fitness is how you take it back.
Free, about five minutes. Safe, private and judgment-free.
Running out of energy halfway through the day, or before it even starts?
You're the one everyone counts on. From the outside you look like you have it handled. Inside, it sounds more like this:
- "If I don't do it, it won't get done."
- You replay conversations at night instead of sleeping.
- You say yes, then quietly resent it.
- Rest only feels allowed once you're exhausted.
- Your harshest critic is the voice in your own head.
- You know what would help, and you can't make yourself do it.
It isn't a lack of willpower. It's mental habits, and habits can change.
The voices in your head aren't you.
The Positive Intelligence® program, created by Shirzad Chamine, gives names to the two sides of your mind. Once you can name them, you can choose which one leads.
Your Saboteurs
Mental habits that once protected you and now cause stress, overwhelm and self-doubt. Everyone has the Judge. Most of us also have one or two accomplices.
For the dependable ones, the loudest are often:
- Judge
- Pleaser
- Controller
- Hyper-Achiever
Your Sage
The wiser part of you that meets a challenge with curiosity, calm and compassion instead of fear. It has five Sage Powers:
- Empathize
- Explore
- Innovate
- Navigate
- Activate

Training your mind works.
Mental fitness builds on mindfulness: noticing your thoughts and feelings, and choosing your response. Mindfulness-based programs have been studied with thousands of people. One large 2018 analysis of more than 12,000 participants found they worked better than no treatment for anxiety and depression, and about as well as established therapies.
Like any training, it works through practice. That's why the program includes a short daily practice, and why we meet every week.

Meet your Saboteurs.
The free Saboteur Assessment takes about five minutes. You'll:
- See which Saboteurs drain your energy the most
- Get your personal Saboteur profile
- Learn what building mental fitness looks like, and your next step
Your results are yours. Safe, private and judgment-free.
I still remember the first time I took the Saboteur Assessment and read my results. I was shocked to discover that the Victim Saboteur had been quietly running in the background, draining my energy. As someone who prided herself on being strong, that word was hard to accept.
But choosing to look under the hood changed my life. It gave me the resilience to be with my Mom with true presence and love at the end of her life. I'm grateful to share these tools with you.

Two ways to build mental fitness with me.
As a PQ Coach™, I guide you through the full seven-week Positive Intelligence® program and app, inside a longer program of my own.
Mastering Self and the Art of Living
Nine weeks on Zoom with no more than 10 people: a kickoff, the seven-week program, and a bonus celebration week. Each season has its own theme, drawn from the five element theory behind Traditional Chinese Medicine.
$995 or 3 payments of $375
Private Coaching
Three months of private coaching with the program woven all the way through, and room for the whole of your life: work, home, health and money.
$1,997 three months
I surround the program with my own work: Faith, the principles of qigong, and practical money habits. Our live meetings are never recorded. What's shared stays with us.
Simple, and at your pace.
- Take the free Saboteur Assessment.About five minutes, and the results are yours.
- Go deeper in a Saboteur Discovery Session.One-on-one, $97. We go through your results together and talk about what you need right now.
- Choose what fits, if anything.A seasonal group or Private Coaching. If you're ready for a group, a free call is the place to ask about joining a pod. I will never push you.
Good to know.
Is this therapy?
No. Mental fitness coaching is educational and supportive. If you have a history of a mental health condition, including trauma, please talk with a licensed professional before you begin, and never stop a medication without your doctor.
How much time does it take each day?
A short daily practice in the app, called PQ® Reps, plus one live hour together each week. The Reps fit into ordinary moments, though never while you're driving.
Do I have to take the assessment first?
No, but it's the easiest place to start. It's free, and it shows you which Saboteurs show up most for you.
Is this only for women?
No. Mental fitness is for anyone who's tired of the voice that says they're never doing enough.
The voice that says "never enough" isn't the truth.
Find out which Saboteurs are speaking, and start choosing your Sage.
